Tell Me Narrative
I’m about to tell you an amazing story. . . . When I was a little girl, about six years old, I was playing on a play structure. I fell off the bars onto the ground and my tooth fell out! It was the happiest—then again, saddest—time ever. I was laughing because I was waiting and waiting for it to come out, but I was crying because it hurt.
When I came home, I told my parents. They congratulated me and put my tooth in a little box. At lunch time, I was just eating mushy foods; I hated it! Finally, it was time to go to sleep. I was in bed and I remembered, I put my tooth under my pillow, but I forgot to write a letter. I wrote one right away: “Dear Tooth Fairy, I’m so excited I lost my tooth, but it hurts when I eat. So can you please make it

    Well, as fate would have it, Nick ran into me. The momentum he had on impact, caused me to fall forward, right into a brick wall. I remember the pain running through my arms and face, but nothing hurt as badly as my lip. My first grade teacher came out, and she helped me to the nurse. The nurse called my mother, and told her that I had to go to the hospital. Before my mother got to the school, although she was driving pretty fast, I got to look in the mirror. My upper lip was split open, and did not look pretty. It was bleeding excessively when my mother got to the school. She quickly got me into the car, and we drove off.…

    It was the year 1645 and we’ve been on the plantation for 8 ½ months now. Our family has been here for as long as I can remember, working the cotton fields. We were brought here from a small country off the coast of Africa, the country of Uganda. I will never forget that fateful day. As my mother and I were walking through the forest to gather wood and the proper materials for us to eat, we were bombarded by the white men, they came in different directions threating to shoot at us if we didn’t cooperate, at this time we knew that the rumors we heard all around the village were true. As if having guns pointed to our heads wasn’t enough pain we were beaten, tied, and thrown into the bottom of a ship without food and water for what seemed like days. As I saw the look on mothers face I realized that the days ahead for the rest of our lives were going to be hell for now on……..…

    I was rushed to Williamson County Medical Center and was taken to the emergency room. In the emergency room they shoved my front tooth back into my mouth and gave me painkillers. From there they transferred me to Vanderbilt for oral surgery. The oral sugery was the worst pain experience I have ever experienced. The surgeon had to put my mouth back together with stitches and brackets which acted like casts. After the surgery I thought I could never play baseball again because my teeth were never gonna be sturdy again. I was devastated as the recovery took several months and required 9 root canals. I also could not eat normal foods either which made me lose fifteen pounds. I still have scar tissues on my lips and teeth that are decaying. Everytime I look in the mirror I see and remember my accidental…

    “I’ve been drinking since I was twelve, but I don’t think I was exactly twelve. Maybe older, maybe younger. I’m a little tipsy now but that’s not what you want to hear. I was once told I drank like an eel, I’m not sure what that meant, but again that’s not what you want to hear. You want me to sit here and tell you the exact traumatic moment when I began drinking; It was the first time I ever had that nightmare. The next day I asked my dad why drank, he said ‘I drink to forget’. He never told me what he was trying to forget. I thought ‘I drinking makes you forget, maybe I’ll forget the dream.’ So I drank a couple of beers then went to sleep. The dream was worse than before, but that was the cycle every night for the past thirty-five years.”…

    In society today there are murders committed everyday. And everyday the people who commit these crimes are found guilty in a court of law and sentenced to like in prison. Some even get chances for parole. What the courts should do is take every murderer, give every one of them the death penalty, and follow through with it. The death penalty should be legal in all 50 states and carried through when given out as a sentence. Gary Gilmore faced a firing squad at the Utah State Prison on January 17, 1977. There have been 55 murders in that state during 1976. During 1977, in wake of the Gilmore execution, there were 44 murders: a 20 percent decrease. As you can see, the execution had some effect on the murder rate in Utah. There are very few proven facts about capital punishment deterring crime at this time. This is so because capital punishment is not used enough to actually have an effect on people. It is a fact that of all murder sentences that 38 percent get the death penalty. If that 38 percent only 0.1 percent are executed. If we use the death penalty more often and actually carry through with it will have an effect on the crime rate in the country. People will see that finally we have justice in this country and if they do this, there is a large chance they are going to be caught and they are going to receive the death penalty. We also need the death penalty in this country because if we execute the murderer that person has no chance to ever kill or harm another person again. The person will never have a chance for parole and there will never be a risk of this person ever ruining another family's life. It is not fair for a murderer to get life in prison. The murderer still can have a life, not much of one, but they do have one. He or she can still communicate with their families. The victim of the murder cannot. The victim's family will never be able to see there loved one again. Another thing with life in prison is that the murderer may have a chance for parole.…

    The minute I got home, I rushed into my parent's bedroom where my mother was watching TV. I told her about my eventful night and that I would quite enjoy going to the hospital to get a confirmation of my suspicions. She drove me to the ER where we would promptly sit for twenty minutes before they could assign us to a room. Once we were assigned to a room, where we would wait for the doctor for another ten minutes. The doctor then came into the room wearing a white coat, glasses that were far too small for his head, and a clipboard in his hand. He talked to us swiftly about my nose, saying that I definitely needed to get an X-ray, and for that we would have to wait for about an hour and a half. Finally, they came to take me for the X-ray, on the way there I caught a glimpse of myself in a small mirror: I looked like some sort of ogre with my colossal nose, covering almost my entire face. I got back from the X- ray and shortly after that, the doctor came back into my room, smiled at me, and with a laugh, he said, “Well, it's broken alright!” My mom and I both thought he was joking until he brought us over to his unpretentious office to show us the actual X- ray. We could visibly see a long crack from the top to the very bottom of my nose. Once we got back to our room, he put a big, bulky, cast like item, called a splint on my nose, to which I would have a long and painful recovery in. From then on out I always left my free hand up in the air to guard my nose from that untrustworthy…

    Few days later, I got my wisdom tooth pulled for the first time. My operation went well; the dentist and his staff did smooth work. After that, I couldn’t eat anything for three days, and also I couldn’t speak for a week because of pain. At the time, I had just started my English classes. I had become petrified to speak English, but I thought “This is my training to become tough”. Since then it, I have taken care of my teeth more carefully.…
