The thing that changed my life for a week was when I was in a car wreck. It happened on Tuesday 20, of December last year. We was going to my Nana's house in Blairsville to spend the night so we could take her to physical therapy because, she had knee surgery about a month ago. My mom my brother and I was the ones involved in the wreck. We had went to Mcdonalds to get a drink. We came back and got in the turning lane at the red light by the walmart there in Blairsville one car passed and we didn’t see another car coming so we turned and next thing we know we heard a big boom then we was spinning my mom put the car in park and we looked back at my brother and he was unconscious. My mom and I climbed out of the car but we couldn’t get my brother out luckily there was an off duty Cardiac arrest doctor and a Ems right behind us so they helped us until the paramedics got there. When the paramedics got there they got my brother out of the car and took us to the hospital in the ambulance. …show more content…

The reason was since he was knocked out they just wanted to take safety precautions. So my dad went to atlanta while my mom and I was at Union General. I can’t remember much about the hospital because, I had a concussion and I was out of my mind. I remember very few things. I remember that the hospital bed wasn’t comfortable at all. I remember being rolled out to the car and a lot of visitors were there. This all happened about one o’clock at night. I had cuts all over my face and a few on my arm.

  • Analysis Of Car Crash While Hitchhiking, By Denis Johnson

    566 Words  | 2 Pages

    Contemporary literature is the sharing of timeless truths that still hold relevance in our current society in a current manner. There is a saying “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the Sun.” (Ecclesiastes 1:9, n.d.). What the saying means is that anything we experience now has already been experienced and to believe that you have a fresh new idea, way of thinking, activity or anything than you are mistaken. Everything that can be thought of already has been. The story that I read during this session that reminds of this and has helped shape my view on contemporary literature is “Car Crash While Hitchhiking”, it was written by Denis Johnson.

  • Crash Tragedy Analysis

    976 Words  | 2 Pages

    A tragedy is a wretched event that puts a person in despair. Tragedy is a genre which consists of continuous tragic happenings that ultimately lead to an unhappy ending. Arthur Miller expresses that what makes a tragic hero is their attempt to take fate into their own hands, which ends up being the reason for their ruin; while those who accept their fates tend to be the lucky and are spared a demise. Miller claims there are tragic consequences for a man who questions his position, regardless of whether he wants more or thinks he deserve less. The film, Crash, is an example of a tragedy, because one character tries to alter their own fate, and other characters have reservations of where they lie on the social spectrum.

  • From Carolina Sunshine to German Blizzard: A Military Kid's Journey

    2062 Words  | 5 Pages

    My most life changing experience was when I moved from the sunny skies of North Carolina to The Blizzard, more formally known as Germany in the middle of my second grade year. My Step-Dad was active duty in the military. Of course, he had to drag us with him. He flew out to Germany first so for about three weeks it was just Mom and I. Just about every day Mom would say “Two more weeks till Germany, Tarix”, “One more week till Germany, Tarix” (Rich), which I never took to heart. I was too caught up in deciding what my Barbie was going to wear that day and riding my new tricycle to have time to process her words. Ignorance was bliss until the movers came to our house and packed up all my memories into big brown boxes. The night before

    Disappointment, disbelief and fear filled my mind as I lye on my side, sandwiched between the cold, soft dirt and the hot, slick metal of the car. The weight of the car pressed down on the lower half of my body with monster force. It did not hurt, my body was numb. All I could feel was the car hood's mass stamping my body father and farther into the ground. My lungs felt pinched shut and air would neither enter nor escape them. My mind was buzzing. What had just happened? In the distance, on that cursed road, I saw cars driving by completely unaware of what happened, how I felt. I tried to yell but my voice was unheard. All I could do was wait. Wait for someone to help me or wait to die.

    I always hear those old sayings. In the course of one day I can hear them about everything from retraining old dogs to getting up early. I think they make sense and I even ponder on some of them, but I never really thought one might mean as much to me, or become as realistic as it has become in my life. The clichés about telling those you love, how you feel, before it is too late and the ones about living every day like it is your last have an all new meaning to me.
