Calling From The Lake Narrative Essay

Creative writing Calling from the lake. I used to have a little sister, Ariella. We were very close growing up, even though she was thirteen and I was seventeen, we always looked out for each other. She would make sure I was ok and I made sure she was ok, to us we were each other's shields, and we made sure nothing got into each other's way. Except one day when I let her down, I couldn't protect her that dreadful day five years ago. I still remember the day it happened, Ariella played along the lake shore and she threw pebbles along the dead still water. Each pebble she threw created a ripple of swirls which spread through the lake then it slowly died away, going back to its still self. She threw one last pebble and the swirls started again, with each swirl rippling over each other Ariella waited for the ripples to stop, but slowly more swirls started to form it was a never ending cycle of ripples. Ariella just stared at the lake as if it was a normal thing to do, she stood there …show more content…

I told my parents what had happened that evening because I thought they'd believe me because I was their son, but they just thought I was loony and made me go to counselling sessions four times a week.

  • In The Lake Of The Woods Themes

    1034 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the Lake of the Woods by Tim O’Brien is a novel narrating a story of a man referred to as John Wade and his wife Kathleen. Wade is a politician of Minnesota. It is clear from the novel that he has just lost his election to the United States senate. The reason behind his loss is that all the facts about John have been revealed. There is solid evidence of John getting involved in a mass killing that happened in the Vietnamese village of Thuan Yen also referred to as My Lai. In this massacre, John is found responsible for the deaths of two people. On the other side, Kathleen was always on his side. Their relationship started back when they were college mates. One day Kathleen mysteriously disappears from their rented cottage in the north of Minnesota after John lost his election, a mass reach of water and the wilderness that separates the United States from Canada. Among all the events in the novel, the main theme that seems to appear most is the theme of the covered side of life of the people. Many things that take place in the novel are not openly seen, and the author develops this using some characters to reveal the concealed actions of the characters.

There was no forest which meant no elk. The only foliage in sight were dead bushes, meaning that there was nothing to suck in the pollution. Most of the stores had a forlorn look about them as if uttering a sad sigh.

    It’s human nature that people want to see the good in others. While reading In the Lake of the Woods by Tim O’Brian, the reader can not help but feel empathetic towards John, and want to believe that his powerful love towards Kathy is incapable of causing her harm. Although a lot of the evidence suggests that Kathy had taken it upon herself to run away, or simply have wandered away and have gotten lost, the evidence towards John as a possible murderer thwarts any probability of Kathy being the cause of her own disappearance; John’s experience in Vietnam and twisted relationship with Kathy epitomizes his potential as a murderer.

  • A Day at the Lake

    The grass was soft and green, reserved for those who wanted to lie down or sit. A sweet aroma of flowers overflowed near by like s shinning light, but was hidden by the untrimmed bushes and wildly growing trees. Up above me was the beautiful, high noon blue sky spotted with fluffy, white clouds and airplanes flying by. I emerged into the parking lot and stopped happily as a squirrel under a tree. Hesitating to proceed anywhere further I took a few minutes to treasure the moment of silence and peace. As my girlfriend and I got out of the car to get ready for the picnic, she happened to be distracted by the water; a rhythmic ongoing resemblance of rhythm in her heart. The water was clam and beautiful in every aspect. To me she was like a wave, never stooping to catch attention or go unnoticed. Before doing anything else, we began setting up the picnic. By the time we ware done, her temptation was unbearable and was finally unable to overcome it, consequently she eagerly ran towards the water pulling me right behind her. Each step was like an imprint in my heart, a fossil that would always remain the same and special inside me forever.
