    Awakening from the torment, the pain, and suffering caused by the most traumatizing series of events in my life, I decided to push through and prove to myself that I can overcome anything. Although my head was throbbing from the colossal blow, I managed to convince myself that it was time to find a way back home to safety, but let us focus on how I got to that point. It was the last lesson of the afternoon, an extremely informative one regarding poetry. We had just completed the analysis of the poem, ‘Overcoming Obstacles’ by Gerry Legister and were ready to leave to go and celebrate my friend, Bella’s 18th Birthday. My Mom called me to say, rather abruptly, that she was working late and could not pick me up and drop me off at Bella’s lovely home.…

    It begins with the words, ‘Then suddenly,' this immediately tells us that something significant happened. His father died, and with his death, his mother gave up on life. There is a touch of irony in the passage, because she waited all that time for him to return and it was just a fantasy. The children knew he would never return but in all that time she clung on to that hope. Their father's death ended any reason and happiness that his mother had. The writer conveys an underlying note of blame in this paragraph. He says ‘the coldness of that which killed her.' He explains how his mother was faithful to his father, waited thirty-five years for praise, raised his family and all she expected in return was for him to return to her. In dying he also killed off any dreams for the future that she had. The writer informs us that his mother became ‘simple minded and returned to her youth.' The thin shreds of sanity that she had had finally been severed when his father died. They buried her under the end of the beech-wood, not far from her four year old daughter, this sentence tells us that when she died they buried her near to nature where she was most happy. There is a great deal of sadness in the last…

    With all the recent mass shootings happening in the country, people have made the call for stricter gun control. Is this really the answer that would solve all the problems? Is stricter gun control really the answer or is it a grand illusion to fool the masses? In these two opposing essays there are very hard hitting points and facts supporting both sides. Stricter gun control is majorly demanded in democratic states where most mass shootings occur. Republican states having open carry laws and CCW are less likely to have mass shootings. Having the right to carry is a basic constitutional right, it's a deterrent, and many times it has saved more lives than taking.…

    Believe it or not I have not always been as bright as I am now. There was a time when I was the kid who struggled in many of his classes, not the one that people went to for advise on a subject. I hated school because it was extremely hard for me. I was born on May the 11, 1994 in Nashville tennessee. I came from a well to do family and when i was of age was enrolled into private school where i spend the rest of my schooling up through high school. It was evident at an early age that there was something different about me. the first sign was my speech impediment, for the life of me i could not say the letter S every sentence i spoke was a struggle. Then it was reading and spelling. I was behind most of the other kid in both, I read slower and could not spell the same level words as the other kids. It was so bad that in kindergarten i was made to repeat it. Then came elementary school which went much better then preschool had gone, but i still struggled with things. Then in the third grade my parent took me to get tested to determine my mental ability. That is when i found out i am dyslexia. dyslexia is a learning disorder characterized by difficulty reading, spelling, and in young children affects there speech. This was devastating to me, because as a third grader all i wanted to be was normal, and at the felt like people would think i was retarded. through all of this my parents only encouraged me, telling me that i could overcome this setback. That is exactly what i set out to do. Starting in the fourth grade every afternoon i would leave school and go straight to tutoring at the learning lab. I hated this because while all my friends were playing at home i was studying but i knew that it would be worth it. My parents also made me take adrenal which i thought was super embarrassing and i can remember to this day hiding them in the cracks of the table or under my chair so i would not have to take them.…
