Wounds That Can Not Be Stitched

Wounds that Can’t be Stitched Up

I learned that sometimes you think your over things in your life until you see that actual person that has caused a fear in your life. It was upsetting to me that this man did not get any serious punishment for DWI and hit this family. That how did even have the nerve to get back behind the will after the tragedy he caused. It made me made when people were making excuses for him. He had the nerve to say to her at the end did I scare you oh, that really ticked me. As he staggered from his vehicle, he looked at me and asked drunkenly, “Did I scare you?” It made me mad. How can he dare ask a question like that when he damn their killed her mom, brother, and sister. Her daughter was standing outside to. I would imagine that would be very upsetting to her especially the stuff her family had been through. I think the writer was very heated and probably wanted to beat him up. That some people don’t understand what they did caused pain and hurt. Some people never learn. Now and then I’d see his name in court log of our local paper for another DWI. As he staggered from his vehicle, he looked at me and asked drunkenly, “Did I scare you?” He kept repeating that he’d did nothing wrong. Yes she was an intelligent source to discuss this piece with. She had an essay that appeared in Newsweek. The incident had caused her to write the essay The Wound That Can’t Be Stitched Up. That she used the sixth edition of Models for Writers to help her learn how to

    While the conclusion of the story was stunning I do not believe that is the reason it was troubling. I believe that the conclusion is troubling whether it was foreshadowed or not. It is very troubling that a whole family was murdered on what was supposed to be a fun vacation to the sunshine state of Florida. The whole story is quite troubling to me for the fact that the family didn’t get along much throughout the story. The tone all throughout the story was a negative tone such that none of the family members listened to each other or respected one another. The children were rude and the mother did nothing about it. Once the…

    People are changed by those around them, both directly and indirectly. Melinda’s tale is one that is relatable to many, and one of truth. There are things in life that may hurt, and there are people in life that can hurt. Melinda proves that it is far better to speak up and face the result— positive or negative. Whether it ends in more understanding about the problem— or even less— speaking up is the way to be free from grief and internal pressures (like the ones Melinda faced). Melinda wraps up her experience in one final statement: “IT happened. There is no avoiding it, no forgetting. No running away, or flying, or burying, or hiding. Andy Evans raped me in August when I was drunk and too young to know what was happening. It wasn't my fault. He hurt me. It wasn't my fault. And I am not going to let it kill me. I can grow”…

    Come quick! Patrick's dead!” “He’s lying on the floor and i think he’s dead.” These two quotes support my theme is that she's now calling the police and there going to start asking questions about how it happened, who do u think did it, and what could have hit him that hard that he was to die. As the police arrived they began to ask her where she was when her husband Patrick had been killed. She told him she had ran to the grocery store to make dinner for patrick and she told them what grocer she had gotten the food from. The police left to ask the grocer if she seemed to be acting weird but of course he said no. She had rehearsed what she was going to say to him so many times she sounded just perfectly normal. “...Acted quite normal.. Very cheerful...wanted to give him a good supper..peas..cheesecake..impossible that she…” but actually she did. She had killed her husband over him leaving her for another women. She assumed that if they were to find out that she had kill him that they wouldn't kill her while she was pregnant with his baby. “In fact, it would be a relief. On the other hand, what about the child? What were the laws about murderers with unborn children? Did they kill them both-mother and child? Or did they wait until the tenth month? What did they do?” As she asked herself these questions as what was going to happen to her unborn child after she killed…

    The more we are exposed to violence the less we take it seriously because of what is seen in movies, read in books, and accessed on social media. According to Barbara Osborn “TV and film criminals are 100% bad and they have no families…they deserve no sympathy and they get what they deserve”. So it says that as the story unfolds, outbreaks of violence against people and property make sure that viewers stay in their seats which means they take this as entertainment and not as a serious view. The movie producers want you to stay there and watch the violence instead of you resolving a problem with it if you do have to deal with the situation. It also indicated that no one mourns their death which means they want you to not start cry about it when it’s happening to you. It says “their lives are unimportant” so if someone that you care about dies it’s not important. They shouldn’t say someone dying is unimportant because people matter.…

    “You Must Remember This” is a podcast created by Karina Longworth, who is a former film critic for the LA weekly and founder of Cinematical.com. Karina not only writes the episodes, she also produces and edits the original copy. It really is, as the description calls it, her passion project. You can hear that passion in every word she speaks; with her sultry tone that emulates the classic Hollywood she is describing. Karina accomplishes this by making the timbre of her voice very warm, trailing off at the end of almost every sentence while using high frequencies to accentuate certain phrases.…

    Primarily, “Killings” concerns a crime and its consequences. The lead character, Matt Fowler goes one step too far and identifies with the evil that tragically marred his life-the murder of his son. Matt and his friend Willis Trottier executed Richard Strout, the man who killed his son. This murder was more of a private revenge than of protection but the character’s act was partially motivated by his wish to protect his wife who suffered every time she encounters their son’s murderer ( & , 2000, ). As Dubus wrote, “Ruth can’t even go out for cigarettes and aspirin....She sees him all the time. It makes her cry” ( ). While it is obviously too late to protect his son, Fowler experiences his son’s murder as an assault on his fatherhood and on his wish to protect his children. Matt could no longer tolerate watching his wife deteriorate before his eyes simply because she cannot cope with the loss of their son. Finally, he decided to bring grief resolution to both of them by killing Strout.…

Young describes her as a pretty college student, in the middle of finals week, who was lively and vivacious. When talking about the aftermath, she uses vivid language and imagery. She writes, “Her bashed skull and broken body were dumped on a hillside many miles away…” When Bundy was caught his, “bashing bar” and other “homemade tools of torture” were found. The author hopes that by emphasizing these details, the reader will be more likely to feel sorry for the victim and want the worst punishment for the killer.
