  • Isolation In The Painted Door

    832 Words  | 2 Pages

    With nobody but herself at home, Ann strongly desires to talk to someone, and that someone who arrives at her house is Steven. Ann who has been feeling anxious and helpless while isolated suddenly feels relief when Steven comes as shown, “-and suddenly at the assurance of his touch and voice the fear that had been gripping her gave way to an hysteria of relief.” Steven helps comfort Ann, while Ann is being cautious of herself. She knows that Steven is enticing, but will not give in to him despite how attractive she finds him. Steven is the complete opposite of John and Ann compares John to Steven multiple times, “Steven’s smile, and therefore difficult to reprove. It lit up his lean, still-boyish face with a peculiar kind of arrogance: features and smile that were different from John’s.” and even favours Steven more than her husband. Ann is used to seeing John’s features but not Steven’s. This excites Ann and prompts her to develop feelings that are of a high school girls’, “She didn’t understand, but she knew. The texture of the moment was satisfyingly dreamlike.” It takes Ann a moment to realize that her object of temptation is right in front of her, and it does not take long for her to take the opportunity to ease her boredom and isolation through her upcoming

  • Trapped in Cyberspace by Ayala Stimler

    820 Words  | 2 Pages

    Michal Klein was the perfect girl-- popular and fun. Internet addiction was the last thing one would associate her with. However, when her father re-installed the filter on the internet after showing his family a short YouTube video, Michal caught sight of the password. After a depressing week home from school due to the swine flu, she decided to try deactivating the filter just once so that she could watch Jewish music videos online. Soon they lost their thrill so Michal started watching Non-Jewish music videos as well. She couldn’t believe she was subjecting her neshama to such filth-- but it was too hard to keep away from it. From there, she carried on to a worse site. She remembered hearing the name of a chatting site from a friend whose brother was off the derech. Immediately after she logged on, someone with the pseudonym “Snake” started asking her questions of all sorts, including whether she’d ever tried drugs. Michal was repulsed by the questions posed and quickly logged off of the computer, but it wasn’t long before she yearned for more and was back on. Snake became her closest online friend.The Jewish songs on her ipod were quickly replaced with rocky Non-Jewish ones, and her new Blackberry was ever-present. There was one song in particular that called her soul-- she fell asleep to its beats every night. On the outside, Michal was the ...

  • Personal Narrative: Anna As A Young Girl

    877 Words  | 2 Pages

    As a young girl, I was never fond of the name Anna. The name came along with too much baggage.. Unknowingly, people would constantly call me the wrong name, and some people, disregarding my opinion, even created strange nicknames for me. Over the years, I have been called a variety of names including Annie, Ann, Anna, Annabelle, Anne Frank, banana, banana boat, etc. Frankly, there are just too many variations of the name “Anna”. Being an extremely common name, almost everywhere I go, whether it be school or the grocery store, I always seem to find another “Anna”. Although nameberry.com tells me that “Anna” means grace, it actually means unique, intelligent, and affectionate.

    Lynnsey Tabor was born on April 30th 2002. She had brown hair and blue eyes. When she was younger, she was the nicest and the sweetest girl without a care in the world. She was a lot like me. Always with the guys and hated the prissy girls. She would always go to her grandpa’s house on her dad’s side of the family and all of her cousins were boys. So, she would always do the things they did, such as Legos, batman, video games and Youtube. She was a lot like me in some of those ways.

    The person that I see as a person of passion would have to be Lauren Fristrom. Lauren is my cousin who is 30 years old and is a Registered Nurse. I chose her because this Thanksgiving she had asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I told her that I have need to make the decision between a Veterinarian and a Registered Nurse. She asked me, “Which job interested you more”. I told her that I loved to help people and animals, but I had no idea which job I would have more fun and experiences with.

  • Personal Narrative: Angela Meade

    623 Words  | 2 Pages

    I originally planned a very short trip to see Angela Meade in Bellini's Norma at the Met and one NYCB Nutcracker, but my partner wanted to go along, so I made it a week trip and bought us both tickets to a second Nutcracker (he didn't go to the other shows). I told him he could fill the other nights with plays or musicals (what he likes) because he complained I usually fill up the vacation with a ballet or opera every single night. However, he decided he wanted us to have casual leisurely evenings at dinners instead. I was fine with that too and let him choose the places. In the past I have dominated what we do on vacations, and he has complained and tends to stay home nowadays, so this trip I let him decide everything besides the Norma and

  • Personal Narrative: My Interest In Music Education

    547 Words  | 2 Pages

    I grew up in Yazoo City the middle out of nine children, and like the rest of my siblings I was almost entirely homeschooled. Music was possibly the most important subject, which incidentally happened to be the only one my mother didn’t teach. While my parents never actually said it, we all knew that it was a given that we would be taking piano lessons from around fourth grade to graduation. But when I was little I had zero interest in piano. I –for no reasons I can remember anymore- was very draw to violin and tried my hardest –without actually coming out and asking- to get my parents to let me take violin. As a six year-old my idea of “subtle hinting” was cutting out a violin shape from cardboard, and using a pencil as a bow to show my mom how well I “played”. In the end when I turned eight my

  • Personal Narrative: Barbara Niven

    About three years ago, a show arrived on the Hallmark Channel that changed my life forever. I had no idea at that point how it would ultimately impact my life, but there was something about Cedar Cove that I liked. At first, it wasn't even my favorite show, but I remember noticing the sweet Peggy Beldon and loving her instantly. It wasn't until the following summer that I discovered this character was played by Barbara Niven, and it really wasn't even until it was preparing to go into production for the third season that I truly connected with this phenomenal lady. I was captivated by her character's story in season two (the slap heard around the world that I will never forget as long as I live), but as I began to discover the woman behind

  • Personal Narrative: Tiffan Tiffany Mogenson

    529 Words  | 2 Pages

    Ever since I was 8 years old, my answer to the inevitable question of “What to do you want to be when you grow up?” has always been, “A dancer and a missionary”. I cannot remember a time when I was not dancing, and dance is one of my greatest passions. My dream is to one day become a professional dancer and share the joy of dance with others, but I don’t want to just stop there. I hope to reach children in inner cities and poor areas of America who do not have access to dance, and bring them both dance and the gospel, a powerful combination which can forever change a child’s life. I also would love to go on missions trips to bring dance to children in other impoverished nations. However, in order for me to reach these goals, I have to take the next steps as a student.
