MY WRIST WATCH

My watch means a lot to me, and is one of my most cherished possessions which I've ever had. It came about on a beautiful day I decided to escort "shade" my girlfriend to the Mall for some window shopping. That same day was my birthday. I had never celebrated my birthday, and I still didn't see any reason to do so that day. We checked as many things as we could in most stores, although we had no money to purchase one single thing. We walked into this particular jewelry store which Shade had always talked about in the past. I really had no love for jewelries, so for me, going or not going to that jewelry store, really made no difference at all.

Along the line, we ended up at this jewelry store Shade had been talking about. Inside the jewelry store I felt so bored, and gazed into the thin air, like I really had something I took serious notice of; but in reality I was looking through the jewelry and its shelves. At this point I really felt like a soggy cow, forced to the river. Just about ten minutes in this store, my eyes caught sight of this object on the jewelry shelf. About five feet away, it looked so attractive and seemed as pretty as a Mona Lisa painting. Something really made this object outstanding compared to other objects on the shelf. Moving closer, and about a foot away from the jewelry shelf, I could conclude that this glittering object was a watch. From where I stood I could conclude that this watch was manufactured from solid yellow gold bars of about eighteen karat gold and stainless steel. it had about a 40mm case and about a 20mm bracelet. It had this unique feature of having an independent setting for the hour hand, and further featured the date function at the 3 o'clock hour of the face. It also had a crown laid at the 12 o'clock hour, which at that juncture, made me connect with the reality that I was standing in the presence of a brand of an almighty Rolex

    One possession that I hold dear to me is my baseball glove. I’ve had it for what will be 5 years by the time my birthday comes around. It’s nothing fancy or extraordinary, just a black Wilson A2000 left-handed glove that I still use to this day. I go out of my way to always make sure it is in the best condition possible. I change the laces on it every 6 months. I always keep a rubber band wrapped around it with a…

    In the 4th paragraph of this essay, the author, Alex Horton explains how his feelings and memories can never fully be realized in a piece of jewelry no matter the care put into its creation. For his example, the metal bracelet he refuses to take off for anyone bears the date of his friend’s death on a shared battlefield years ago. In the beginning, it seems he is almost upset by the simple sterility of the ordering website’s ease of use and the removal of emotion until seeing the finished product. Alex mentions it sometimes may only be redundant and questions how insignificant it is when measured against what he remembers of that person and that fateful day in Iraq. Unfortunately, while it does serve as a daily reminder of the importance of…

    My necklace was a gift from my mom and I always wear it and rarely take it off. So I guess you could say it has that special effect to it when its around my neck since it was a gift. I always have a wallet in my back right pocket, ever since I was a little kid, even though I had nothing to put in it as a little kid but maybe some pictures and a dollar or two because nothing was more important than trying to be like dad with a wallet. Now I’m just about 17 and my wallet serves its purpose so its kind of like a necessity since I store my, cards, ID, and money inside that leather flap. A wallet probably doesn’t that important, since every man carries one but I am very protective of it since I earned everything in it and I have a mini panic…

    Going from store to store, hands thirsty for shine, I reached for polyester satin, machine-made lace, petunia- and Easter egg-colored, brilliant and flammable. Nothing haute about this couture but my hopes for it, as I tugged it on and waited for my one, true body to emerge. (Picture the angel inside uncut marble, articulation of wings and robes poised in expectation of release.) What I wanted was ordinary miracle, the falling away of everything wrong. Silly maybe or maybe I was right, that there’s no limit to the ways eternity suggests itself, that one day I’ll slip into it, say floor-length plum charmeuse.…

Her husband did all he could to keep her happy. One day he brought home an invitation to attend a ball hoping this will delight his wife since she like to be fancy and rich. However his wife almost turned down the invitation because she didn’t have anything to wear. He was able to get her new clothing for the ball and to finish her outfit she borrowed a diamond necklace from a friend to wear to the ball. They had a great time at the ball however she lost the diamond necklace. She and her husband had to work hard and spend all their life savings to replace the necklace. At the end of the story, the woman ran into her friend she borrowed the necklace from and learned that it was a fake necklace instead of real diamonds. This is a very entertaining story and the writer was able to make the readers understand the deep and hidden meaning of events and because of that I agree that Maupassant ultimate goal is achieved through symbolism.…

    In the novel The Things They Carried, by Tim O'Brien, soldiers would do just about anything to stay sane and alive during the Vietnam War.

What these men carried was something to hold onto, moreover not an item but of a memory or a dream. Soldiers would do just about anything to stay sane and alive during the Vietnam War. I also have items that I would feel wrong without; these items are symbols of me.…

    Every person has on object in their life that is very precious to the, for me, it is my pearl necklace. They are small and round and a lustrous cream color with a pink sheen. They have a tiny gold clasp that holds the necklace together. My pearls tell a story than no other personal artifact can: my heritage. The pearls symbolized tradition and womanhood in my family’s life, and they were to be worn with dignity and pride. Every holiday, the girls of the family accessorized their outfits with the pearls given by our grandmother. They were something we all had in common: the thread that linked our generations together. I recall looking down at my Nana’s casket and I could almost hear her voice whispering in my ear, “Never let any one prevent you from being you,” her outlook on life. Taking my last glimpse of Nana, I gently rubbed her casket goodbye and then rubbed my pearls. Instead of clinging to my mother that day, I clenched to my pearls.…

    The things I carry are the guns I will never fire. I’ll never receive training from extremely attractive girl instructors on operating AK47s, M4s, and M16s. I’ll never drive a tank to rescue hostage soldiers from the battleground or ever lead a special mission in the Gaza strip. I’ll never be able to pilot a plane, and I’ll never experience the abominable disgust from eating frozen, stale corn three times a day.…

    I carry things that are a necessity for school. For example, I carry a backpack, and inside I have two pencils, a pen, and papers. One of the pencils that I carry with me I have like an emotional attachment to it because i have had it for three years and I feel like it’s my lucky pencil and must carry it everyday. Other things I carry in my backpack is Sunscreen, books, and a binder. These things are important because sunscreen is so I protect myself from the sun, the books I have for the classes I have, and the binder is for me to stay organized. I also carry another duffel bag that has my running shoes for training, running shoes for racing, deodorant, shorts, and a workout shirt. A main physical thing I carry is my phone.

    It was selfish, I knew in that moment that it was selfish. My sister, Bridgette, was only six years old, and I took advantage of being only a year older than her. She was oblivious to what I was doing in that moment. We were at the arcade in the middle of July in Stone Harbor, NJ. We decided that after we were done playing all the games, that we would combine our tickets and split it. After about an hour, we came together to add up our tickets. To my surprise, she had won more tickets than me, but we stuck to the agreement and had 78 tickets. I bought the tickets to the counter, and I glanced down at the prizes. I was scanning the counter back and forth looking for something that was worth 39 tickets. My sister was also doing the same thing. Finally, I walked to the far left corner and I saw what I wanted. In that specific moment I could have swore I had never wanted anything more. There was one problem.…
