They All Just Went Away By Maria Monologue
Today is March 15, 1347. Everything is quiet and lonely; death is invading every corner. Nobody trust, they all want to survive. The gardens are full of inert bodies that it is hard to go out without walking over them. Spring started and flowers begun to bloom, the smell of roses is mix with the stench of death. The sun is shining and birds are singing beautiful melodies; days are beautiful. The nature does not know what is happening to us (DeWitte).
Women, men, kids, cannot escape; no one knows what it is or when it started, and we sure do not know how long is going to last; all we know is today we wake up and we are alive. Meanwhile, I am here, afraid to lose my truly love, my daughter. As her mother I have to be strong, I have to show her

My daughter lay down in my knees and she fall asleep. She had just a little of fever, but yesterday in the night she was worst; she was crying for pain, and her body was burning, but suddenly from nowhere she forgot about the pain and her fever relief and she went immediately to the bed before the pain comes again (Mayo Clinic).We are close the our station has been a quarter of a day traveling, she still sleeps; I won’t wakes her up, then she will start to questioned me about where are we going, but no answer will be out of my …show more content…
We hear some echoes saying that "it's over it is the end of the world. God is angry with us and this is how God punish us, with death". Catholics see us sideways because they think are safe due to "they do not commit sins" (Doherty).
The train stopped, this is our station. I wake her up and we get out of the train. It is life here, I can smell it. I think they do not know too much of what is happening around the town. They look happy without worrying to get sick. In the other hand, in Valencia people is dying and “alive people” talk just about death.
I know where he lives, not to far from here. Then we can walk. I was not here since long time ago. When I was younger; definitively, there has been some change. I remember when I was working in the library of the faculty of medicine. When Gonzalo went to the library by the first, he was lost and he asked me for help. Since that day I saw every day in the library studying. We talked once in a while, he was a student and I was a librarian. Perhaps, we were not allowed to talk.
Here we are in front of his door, the door of the “salvation”. I will not think twice I have to do it. I hear some steps approaching to the door. My hearth is beating really; I am nervous, I haven’t seen him since five years ago. Now I have a kid. He is opening the

    1. Fr. Walter Cizek faced many trials throughout his many years in Soviet Russia. Among the most testing of these trials were his years spent at the prison in Lubianka, being interrogated as a “Vatican spy.” Kept in isolation and left to his thoughts for years on end, he often turned to God and bible passages for support. However, even after all his prayer; he still fell to an interrogator’s methods. Turning once more to more fervent prayer, he comes to a realization that he had been praying all the wrong things. He recalls Jesus in the garden of Olives before his crucifixion, how he let God’s will be done. From then on, he strived to live following that principle in all things he did.…

    In Into Thin Air by Jon Krakaeur, the author’s word choice of descriptive passages and vivid words help well understand his perspective. You see this whole story is written in perspective Jon Krakauer is a journalist by trade, and his motive for going on the Everest expedition is to write an article about the experience of climbing as part of a commercial expedition. The perspective is in the first person, but with a journalistic viewpoint. Krakauer often seems removed from the subject, describing events as objectively as possible, as one would expect in a journalistic article. For example, he is sometimes critical of his fellow climbers, even though elsewhere he describes…

    Whose Reality

    Its 9pm on a Sunday and I can feel the first of the rain as its droplets catch on my outstretched palms. There’s something very humbling about the rain. It’s one of nature’s great forces, and completely escapes our control. When the rain comes, it doesn’t account for petty human drama, politics and cultural divisions. I ponder this thought as I round the bend and turn down the next street. The rain is a reminder that above all else, we are at the whim of mother nature. Beyond our constructed realities and perception of modern society lies a force mar more powerful than humanity. This is a somewhat overwhelming thought, and instantly I long for togetherness and company, but I must remind myself that I am a stranger here. Through the windows of the houses lining this street, people go about their lives to the sound of the rain on their rooftops. Perhaps some of them are experiencing similar thoughts to my own? Raindrops slide down my forehead and drip from my brow onto my eyelids- the water blurs my vision. In this dreamlike state, I wander forwards, the lights around me shifting, darting and sliding in the darkness. At this bizarre moment in time I feel a sudden and uncontainable urge to peer through the windows of the houses that surround me, to catch an insight into the lives of these strangers. Through each window lies a different truth, and I am suddenly all too eager to explore these realities- lives that occur in spite of the rain.…
