Personal Narrative: Icicles Hanging
I remember icicles hanging
From rooftops on a sunny day
They were wet from the warmth and dripping
But before they could melt away
Afternoon came to be evening
And the night of the cold held steady
When the winter dawn brought morning
As the sunrise began to glow
I saw clouds approaching
And it started to snow again
"Not today" I remember thinking
"They'll be gone by the

    David Guterson’s Snow Falling On Cedars is an outstanding book with an amazing story. It is very detailed. The book begins by making an absolute dispute for animosity, talking about the citizens of San Piedro Island. The setting of the book is very dark in the foggy winter of December, during a thick winter storm in 1954. In the courtroom, a murder trial is held against the accused, Kabuo Miyamoto, for supposedly murdering Carl Heine. As the story goes on, it goes back in the past to figure out the real story behind this “homicide”. Later, it is revealed that there is a deeper dispute between the Anglo-Americans and the Japanese people. This is just one story to the book. The other story is about love and the past. The past is never forgotten by a white boy named Ishmael Chambers, who is deeply in love and heart-broken by Hatsue Imada (the wife of the accused).…

    I felt the stock of my bow while I was sitting in the blind. Frost had already began to form where I rubbed it off seconds ago. I looked through the small window at the everlasting snow. “Wait, was that a deer moving along those trees?” I asked myself. It looked more like a kangaroo making its way through the snow. I could barely stand up in the cold. I pulled back, ready to take the shot.…

    As I crossed the road with my dog Henry, I could feel the frigid winter breeze on my face. Then I felt a snowflake land on my nose like a plane landing after a long flight. I didn’t like this cold weather at all but I had heard many children around me cheering and laughing. I heard things like “woohoo it is snowing” and things like “oww don't throw snowballs at my face”. That last one made me chuckle a little bit when I had heard it. Then I heard someone yell my name, which is Brian by the way. So I turned around and felt a big snowball hit my back.…

    I walked on a thin layer of ice in high school; every time someone judged me, I could hear the ice slowly cracking under my feet. My life was in a fragile and brittle state during my junior year. I didn’t have the support of my parents, nor of my closest friends at this stage of my life. My own parents, teachers, and classmates had lost faith in me; to them it seemed as if I had ruined my life and that I would no longer succeed. On the contrary, I was determined to be successful because now I had someone special looking up at me as their role model.…
