Kierder adds this narrative into his essay because he wanted to show people that he never was really a cat person. At the beginning he talks about how much people tend to love their pets when they don't have children. He then says that he never meant to become this person but it just kinda of happened. When he found the stray cat, he never intended to keep. Kierder goes on to say that he tried to find it a home, but thee cat was his once he feed him that crab meat. Kierder adds this to give the essay feelings. How he went from I don't want this cat, to I am a crazy cat man Something that has been extremely important to me and still is really important to me is my Winnie Pooh blanket. Now you may think why is a teenager still need a blanket
to sleep with? Well I have a good reason. This blanket reminds me of my father when I was little. My dad got me this blanket when he was deployed in South Korea, he got this for me because I was little and he loved to bring back presents, since he regretted missing most of my life. My dad has left several times to go serve his country, and I hated it because I missed my dad growing up. I love this blanket right now, even though now my dad is home right now. I don't really know when he will be gone again. This blanket also brings back memories to me, of my younger days when I actually had time to sleep and be a child. This blanket is really special to me, and I will never let it go.
The lessons that come out of children's picture books has a way bigger impact than some might expect. Dr. Seuss shows us different habits of mind, heart, and work, but between Horton in Horton Hears a Who, The Lorax, and Thidwick, Horton showed the most persistence in his generosity and actions. Horton throughout the whole story showed his generosity and kindness to the Who's even while he was being persecuted for what he believed in. On the other hand, The Lorax didn't show any generosity at all (at least towards the Once-Ler) and Thidwick was persistent at being generous to the animals, but in the end his generosity came to a stop.
The narrator is trapped by their past, and the poem describes it affecting their daily life. They have a black cat they are envious of, because the cat is carefree and does not make the same mistakes that the narrator does. “He refuses to be snared by a single love the way I did” (319). The narrator had gotten trapped by a love that went badly, and left them being broken from it. Their cat does not make this mistake, and is also carefree, “He leaps from the rooftop . . . doesn't dread crossing bridges or dark alleyways” (318). He just lives his life out and is not concerned about any sort of danger, and because of this the narrator is envious of the cat. They cannot act the same way as the cat does, they are too concerned about their life and what happens with it, “He doesn't cling to life as I do” (318). The narrator seems to be trapped by their past, and because of this, it affects the way they live now. They have shut themselves off purposefully, they let their past affect them this much, they corrupted themselves. They know this, and they wish they had not let it happen, this is why they envy their
Throughout the world, there are many artifacts ranging from Literature, Music, Social Media, Fashion, Toys, Technology, and many other ones. Every single one of these artifacts has a special meaning to them such as, the Statue of Liberty which represents freedom. The National Museum and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum both contain many different types of artifacts that represent our history, as well as sharing a special meaning that can affect a person individually or even shape our society. "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" was a book written by John Boyne, which should be considered an artifact in the Holocaust Memorial Museum or the National Museum, because it represents the history of the Holocaust, as well as by symbolizing
Throughout history, there have been many noteworthy events that have happened. While there are many sources that can explain these events, historical fiction novels are some of the best ways to do so, as they provide insight on the subject matter, and make you feel connected to the people that have gone through it. An example of a historical fiction that I have just read is The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne, a story about the life of a German boy who becomes friends with a Jewish boy in a concentration camp during the holocaust. The author of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas portrays the historical period well,and uses many details from the real life holocaust to make his story more believable. This book is a classic, and is a very good look on how it feels to be living in Nazi Germany.
very important to most people at my age. There are pretty much two things that

The things I value the most would be my schooling because, without schooling, I wouldn 't be able to be in the health science and try and become a nurse, schooling to me is everything, especially being in the nursing program you
“There was one where he bet I couldn’t tell him anything that was absolutely true. So I told him,‘God is love.’ ”“And what did he say?”“He said, ‘What is God? What is love?’ ” -Kurt Vonnegut Cat’s Cradle pg. 55 Chapter: What’s God. There’s a lot of debate and speculation on whether religions are real, and if they are, which one. Even the people that believe in a certain religion often struggle with this ideal. However, there are people who strongly believe that they understand and know all of God’s doings.
“Black Cat” is about a narrator and his tribulations with animals, cats in particular with this work. The short story starts out with the narrator telling
...at the hands of his master. The mutilation of its eye, hanging it to death from a tree and killing his wife, which had shown the cat love. There are two interpretations you can take away from this story, the logic of guilt or supernatural fantasy. Which conclusion will you take?
Cat's Cradle is a novel that depicts the end of the world to a deadly compound known as ice-9.

In addition to this, John, the narrator of the story, is a satire of the common man.
What does the things you have say about you. It can be anything you have like your personal belonging or your family what do they say about you.

My sister is also very important to me because she nice to have around the house and i wouldn't imagine me being without her.
So why might grown-ups harbor affection for a ratty old blanket or well-worn stuffed dog? Part of the reason is probably nostalgia, Hood said, but there seems to be a deep emotional attachment to the objects as well. It's called "essentialism," or the idea that objects are more than just physical properties. When I was younger I used to watch a show called Charlie Brown, where there was a character called Linus. He could always be seen carrying around a ratty old blanket which he would drag everywhere he went.
What is something that has sentimental value to you? No matter who you may be, we all probably have an item that has value in our personal opinion. We generally would prefer not to give it away or discard it due to our desire to cherish it, but we are often forced to depending on certain situations. Usually, this item is simply a stuffed animal, however, in my case, the item that had the most sentimental value to me was my pillow pet. For most kids, pillow pets or other stuffed animals have some sort of value or importance, and for this, it is significant to me due to the fact that I was given it on my birthday, along with it being a very unique animal that I genuinely love. To further expand on this statement, in addition to this I grew up
Another thing that is extremely important in my life is family. At my age not a lot of people think about having one but its something that I know I want. I mean with all the plans I have for my future they wouldn’t be as great if I didn’t have people to share it with or give to when I passed away. Also having little kids and doing father activities with them is something I really look forward too.
