Sarah's Collapse-Personal Narrative
By doing this wallet activity, I was able to meet someone I have never spoken to before and learn about her life. I have learned that Sarah has worked two jobs and has gained a great work ethic. I have gained empathy for her because I am able to relate to the lack of time she has with working with volleyball. I am grateful for this activity because it reminds me that we all go through similar struggles.

    The central idea for the essay “ Ongoingness” is that when we are recording things with writing or with photography, we aren’t experiencing the moments. As stated by Sarah Manguso in the essay,” The trouble was that I failed to record so much. I’d write about a few moments, but the surrounding time- there was so much of it! So much apparent nothing I ignored, that I treated as empty time between the memorable moments.” Manguso was explaining how she was only focused on the beginning and the end, she wasn’t focusing on the middle, which is the actual experience. Also,“ the diary becomes ‘ a series of choices about what to omit, what to forget.’ “ When we tell or write stories, we sometimes leave out important parts of the story that we don’t…

    Sarah’s Key is an exhilarating novel that tells a story that involves many secrets and lies. Some characters in the book show great sympathy and triumph like the main character Julia, but other characters such as the pathetic husband, Bertrand, want to forget the treacherous events of the holocaust. Remembering and never forgetting is the main theme that stays with this book the whole way through. Most people want to forget about the events that occurred in the summer of 1942, but some want to remember and never forget.…

    “I can’t believe I’m doing this” I mutter into my wooly scarf. It’s 4 o’clock in the afternoon and the weather reads ten degrees Fahrenheit. I shift my weight and try to get into a more comfortable squatting position as the rocks dig into my boots. I look around; it’s a rather dreary day with no clouds in sight. I scribble in a notepad. Five minutes in and my hands are numb.…

    The poetry collection I decided to analyze is No Matter the Wreckage by Sarah Kay. Sarah Kay is a young American female poet, known for her spoken word poetry. Kay is also the founder and co-director of Project VOICE, which uses spoken words poetry to promote empowerment, improve literacy, and encourage empathy and creative collaboration in classrooms and communities around the world. I appreciated Sarah Kay’s collection due to its modern voice and style, which made her poems easily relatable and understandable. She creates a young voice by her use of simple diction, syntax, and subject matter.…

    Some things that contributed to Sarah’s attitude towards her curfew was peer pressure. I think that if it wasn’t for the peer pressure, Sarah would not have went out at all and would have stuck with her curfew. Peer pressure I think is the main cause of what teenagers do and what they do not do. A lot of teenagers are follow what is popular and sometimes they do not think of the that consequences can happen after they do something. I think that Sarah went with the peer pressure as they will all trying to get her to stay and talking to Jake, I believe did not help with making the right decision of not going home one time. I think that Jake was attracted to her because of the person she is and he liked that kind of person. They seemed to get along good and had something in common, which is a start of attraction. Another reason is that he could have been drinking, but I do not think that this is the case in this situation.…
