“My uncle is in a Better Place” By: Timmy DeSnyder It was early one afternoon, sun in the middle of the sky. When my mom told me that my uncle was dead. Nobody said anything, we were all sitting there in shock. We all began to cry, long and loud like a waterfall splashing as it hits the water! I could hear my mom cry as dug my head into her arm. My dog (Jesse) was sitting by us comforting us, licking my hands. My tears started to fade to a low and slow cry. I hugged my mom like I didn’t want to let go. My mom came and put a box of tissue on are brown end table. I was thinking of if I would ever see him again. We all were really sad I felt like crawling up like a ball and staying there forever. I thought if I would ever be able to hear his laugh or see …show more content…

When my uncle died our family has been different. We all changed a lot over the days. I can think of all the times I had with him. Like one day when I went over to his house for a birthday party he came and played football with us and made us laugh. When he died we were all thinking of memories we had with him. I would think, if I would ever see him again or hear him laugh ever again. I always knew that he is in a better place now and is safe. I knew that he is still with us, in our heart.

    I’d just gotten off the bus from school and was in a good mood, excited even because I had a field trip the next day. As soon as I walked in the door I was whisked away to run errands with my mom and it was just like any other day. Then she got a phone call in the car. It wasn’t unusual but this time when we pulled into a store’s parking lot she got out and asked me to wait. So I sat back and waited while she walked a little ways away to talk. When she came back to get me she was quiet and when we walked through the store and I begged her for all the usual toys and snacks she didn’t say no, she just put them in our basket and moved on. I didn’t notice that then, only when I relived the day later on did I realize all she’d done. When we finally got home she brought me and my sister up to her bedroom together and broke the news.

    I walked into the room on New Year’s Day and felt a sudden twinge of fear. My eyes already hurt from the tears I had shed and those tears would not stop even then the last viewing before we had to leave. She lay quietly on the bed with her face as void of emotion as a sheet of paper without the writing. Slowly, I approached the cold lifeless form that was once my mother and gave her a goodbye kiss.

    Every family has either the perfect life or the worst life through someone else’s eyes. Every day, families go through things nobody else can see. Internally, behind the closed doors nobody can see what is actually happening. Even though it may seem tough, they could be the perfect family, but the viewer does not see it that way.

Throughout these short poems in the Making Literature Matter textbook, the chapter goes deeper into relationships and legacies within families and grandparents- especially culturally. Grandparents are a major focal point within a family because they show love and affection for the grandkids and try to

    I've never been more glad for something in my life. He would be so glad for me, I need him to be pleased with me. At whatever time I take a gander at the youngsters, I see him. Many kids, and they all help me to remember him. He would have adored them, they would have cherished him. At his burial service, everybody discussed how they didn't give him kudos for all that he did. It's decent of them to say that, yet it's past the point of no return. They can't lament how they acted on the grounds that he's dead at this point. I got so much pity. Pity that I didn't need, pity I didn't require, pity won't take him back to

  • Happiness by Todd Solondz

    313 Words  | 1 Pages

    Todd Solondz's film, "Happiness", is one not commonly seen in modern motion pictures. In the now comfortable atmosphere of film where gorgeous under-aged, under-weight, budding actors and actresses monopolize the scene, "Happiness" seems to be a fresh change brought to the screen. However, this change is not one that drifts away from reality like many others are doing, instead it focuses on what other films overlook and often purposely ignore. The human dark side, their disgusting behavior and socially disturbing taboos. The thing that really grabs my attention about this movie is the reality of it, even though I sometimes want to look away. Instead of glamorizing human evil by having the latest teen star run around killing people in a mask, "Happiness" confronts the issues that plague common people living common lives. Sure, it's twisted, but Americans go to movies to see stories through the eyes of others, seeing more realistic ones changes the perception of their views and really makes them look around and question everything they see.

  • The Unexpected Loss of a Family Member

    766 Words  | 2 Pages

    Our family was never close but we didn’t care. Nobody thought one day things might be different. All of that changed on September 20, 2014 when a hostile argument ended with the death of both my aunt and uncle. For years their marriage was falling apart. My aunt was very materialistic and wanted my cousins to have whatever they asked for but in reality my uncle knew it was impossible financially for them to achieve this. He would try to explain this to her but it usually led to arguments where she would then threaten to leave him so in the end she got her way which led to their vast debt. My uncle had a drinking problem but went to AA classes for her to commiserate their marriage and family. The night before this event he had drank a beer which led into a dispute which ended with my aunt taking the kids to her mom’s and they stayed their while my uncle just stayed home. Less than twelve hours later the mailman walked up to a house with my aunt dead on the front porch and my uncle inside on the living room floor dead. The screams caught the attention of the neighbors and the police was then called. This is a significant experience in my life that I faced and that had an impact on me during my freshman year and still affects me today. It was a homicide/suicide accident and it deeply impacted my family and me. Not only did it affect my school life but my home life as well.
