A rainy day
A Rainy Day
That’s a gloomy morning. Everything seemed came from a black-and-white television receiver. I left home at 6:30 a.m. so that I won’t be late for the first class. When I was at the gate of neighborhood, I felt there was raindrop slide down through my bridge of the nose. It began to spot. In around one minute, God started crying instead of weeping. There were some naughty things that appear to you every day, however, they will disappear when you really need them. My umbrella is an excellent example. Shakespeare have said, “To be, or not to be. That’s a question.” And this kind of question I always meet in my daily life. At that moment, to keep going to school or to return home for an umbrella became a question. To not be late for the first class, my favorite physics, I chose the first one.
Just at the time I made up my mind, a familiar male voice came to my ear from behind. “Lily (that’s how my family call me even until now.) Wait…Wait…” I turned back, and a man who with an umbrella running to me. Undoubtedly, he’s my father. “Lily, I am going to send you to school.” He said it with heavy breathes. “Okay…” I accepted it reluctantly but with no choice.
My memory of childhood came to my mind again. Everyone is naughty around 5 years old. So am I. I was an energetic girl when I was a child. Maybe I was always full of energy; the chance I made mistakes was more than other girls do. Every time I did something wrong, the person who scold me loudly was always my father. After that, I always complain with tears to my mom. In my family, father stands for strict, Mom is harbor.
My father is a man in average height, but he seems short because he is little hunchbacked. His grey hair made him look like in fifties; however he was just pass 40 that year. My father was like an old man seen from a distance. He is a man with little word even little smile. He suffered a sad childhood. My father lost his father (my grandfather) in his 10 years old. My grandmother

    The steam from his drink coated his glasses, and behind the mug I could see a toothless smile and a dark shiny grey beard. He gestured for my dad and I to come in. I stepped my way up into the overcrowded room full of mustard yellow couches. Not only did the place looked run down, and about to fall apart but, the place smelled like the worst mixture of rotten foods you could imagine. My dad and I’s facial expressions to each other said it all about this place. Once we had found our way, we filled out some application forms. During the process, I stood beside my dad, searching to find another girl taking the class. I looked forever only to find that there were no other girls…

    A Steady Rain

    • 1032 Words

    It’s your typical cop movie, findable on the local channels. Two police officers claim to use their power for the good of the people, but find out how much easier it is to take matters into their own hands. Although we all can get this on our television for free, director Tazewell Thompson takes Keith Huff’s “A Steady Rain” and turns it into something worth paying for, or did he? The set is completely simple; as a matter of fact I must say it is very uncreative. There are two seats in the front and several are lined up in the back making two single rows. In the far back and sides of the stage, there are blinds with cracks in it as if people have been peeping through them. No art work, not even a coffee table, just chairs and blinds surrounded the stage. It took a while but it hit me, it is an interrogation room. Now, the only thing I predict coming is be a waste of hard earn money and angry people in the audience asking for a refund. But when the two actors came out and started to talk to the audience as if we were a part of the act, it startled me and caught my attention. I’m really in for the night of my life and if you were in my shoes, you’ll be to. This is definitely not your typical play; loyalty, friendship, and lives are at stake. Huff wants us to understand that it does not matter how long or how close you are with someone because in a split second they can betray you.…

    My anxiety flutted around in my chest and gripped each breath like a vice. The daunting and steep steps danced in my mind making the simple task of walking up stairs more difficult than the impossible task to run a mile in a minute. Next, a boy pushed the door open behind him almost as an afterthought, but in my chaotic mind it was the best thing all morning to happen. On the dreadful first day of school, chivalry was not dead, or at least that’s how I was able to comprehend his actions. I glanced around unsurely before starting to slowly walk towards the freshman commons; each eye that meets mine screamed enthusiasm.…

    You had always been dominating and the thought of facing you if I was late left me trembling. I was always scared because you were way to over protective. Like the day I came back late and you yelled at me. You said,” I reckon it never occurred to you that your brothers might me worrying their heads of and afraid to call the police because something like that could get you thrown in boy’s home so fast your head would spin.”(Hinton, 50) I felt hot tears of anger and frustration rising with in me.…

    On The Rainy River

    • 306 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Through his piece, “On the Rainy River,” author Tim O’Brien uses varied sentence structure to portray an dissatisfied and stressed tone, by interrupting long-winded thoughts and tangents with sharp and poignant realizations to express his apprehension surrounding his escape to Canada after being drafted to the Vietnam War. O’Brien exemplifies this when he states, “Getting chased by the Border Patrol- helicopters and searchlights and barking dogs – I’d be crashing through the woods, I’d be down on my hands and knees - people shouting out my name - the law closing in on all sides - my hometown draft board and the FBI and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. It all seemed crazy and impossible” (O’Brien 919). One can note how the author allowed himself…

    But Sam and Izzy wouldn’t stay any longer than they had to. I've heard laws were passed to stop runaways so we’ll have to be careful(4).

Sam, Izzy, and I are hunched in behind a bush. I look back to make sure no one is watching and signal for us to run to the woods.

    As I wake up to the smell of fresh breakfast biscuits on a hot August morning, I get the sudden feeling of nervous butterflies in my stomach. Today was mine and Cassie’s first day at the Jefferson Davis School, a former whites-only school, who wanted us to join. No one really knows why, but Mama agreed. Mama came into my room to get me out of bed, then to Cassie’s. Both of us were extremely anxious and did not want to go, but Mama did not want to hear it, so we kept quiet and obeyed. After dressing up in our nice clothes and eating a good breakfast, we ran to ride the bus for the very first time. Cassie and I were going to be put in the same classes because we are new, despite our age difference. As we approached the bus, Jeremy, who was in line, spotted us. “Hey Cassie! Hey Stacey!” he called out. “I heard you guys are coming to the…

    By the time the first semester of fifth grade ended, my parents were well split up. I guess it was some way to put an end to the constant bickering and daily arguments. During this time period, me and my sister had bonded greatly over many hours of being locked up in the basement or shut up in our bedroom. Being the oldest child hadn’t felt as satisfying to me anymore as I had watched my sister struggle to understand the revisions our family was making, nor did I have as much clarity of the situation at the time. After what seemed like an eternity of battles, my sister and I came home from a visit at our aunt’s house to find my dad sitting on the couch with a suitcase awaiting our arrival. The suddenness set up the moment to be a blur. Even though neither of us knew what was actually happening, we had sensed all the hurt emotions rushing from my mom in the form of tears. Soon, Mandy and I added to the puddle being…

    INTRODUCTION: The wet season, monsoon season or rainy season is the time of year when most of a region's average annual rainfalloccurs. It usually lasts one or more months.The term "green season" is also sometimes used as aeuphemism by tourist authorities. Areas with wet seasons are dispersed across portions of the tropics andsubtropics.Under the Köppen climate classification, fo In contrast to areas with savannaclimates and monsoon regimes,mediterranean climates have wet winters and dry summers.Tropical rainforests technically do not have dry or wet seasons, since their rainfall is equally distributed throughout the year. Some areas with pronounced rainy seasons will see a break in rainfall mid-season, when the intertropical convergence zone or monsoon trough moves poleward of their location during the middle of the warm season. When the wet season occurs during a warm season, or summer, precipitation falls mainly during the late afternoon and early evening hours. The wet season is a time when air qualityimproves, freshwater quality improves, and vegetation grows substantially, leading to crop yields late in the season. Floods cause rivers to overflow their banks, and some animals to retreat to higher ground. Soil nutrients diminish and erosion increases. The incidence of malaria increases in areas where the rainy season coincides with high temperatures. Animals have adaptation and survival strategies for the wetter regime.…

    Rainy Day

    It always seems like that one day that is supposed to go perfectly, mother nature comes and washes it all away. Just when your day looks bright the rain turns the sky like night. In the beginning its not so bad, the spotty drizzles and soft mists give you hope that its just a small wave. But as each cloud expands like rising dough you start to lose a little more hope that your ruined plans wont cause woe. You face the fact that you have to alter your plans but “this little bit of rain” won’t stop you. As you begin to notice that old bathed dog smell, you are realizing your day might be over when it hasn't even started. Eventually the last inch of sun gets covered and your enthusiasm settles. Each drop brings you down more and more, dog piling onto your clothes. The damper and heavier your shirt gets the more depressing your mood becomes. Within every second of that constant water bashing rigorously your hatred for the day builds. After awhile your hope grows narrow. The rain pushes you down like a middle school bully. But as you sit in sorrow, you pay attention to it less and less. Without you noticing, the constant bashing becomes faint. The chirps of the birds overpower that distant bashing. As the sun slithers a glare into your room, you dash to the window, eyes widened with purpose and hope. In those first steps outside you smell a breeze of life and happiness. All hope has returned. The day seems young as if that vigorous burst of denial never happened. The day is born again and the only traces of that dreadful mishap are the beautiful rainbows it leaves. So once the gruesome rain goes away, the sun will brighten up this terrible…
