A Light in the Darkness Polaris and Abrax were the best of friends. Due to one of the many battles that have taken place in their warring capital, both young children were without family. Their parents have been taken in as prisoners of war and were never seen again. When he went into a old hut for shelter Abrax found Polaris, shivering and alone. They both kept each other company as they tried to survive on their own. One day a woman from a church found them in the hut. She had told them that she was organizing a program where she will find children a safe place to live. They would be safe, comfortable, and would have plenty of food and happiness. Without hesitation, Polaris and Abrax both agreed and began to live at an old woman’s house. Life in the home wasn’t as happy as they were told it would to …show more content…

The person who has always been by her side is now gone. “I have no reason to staying here anymore. I have no reason to be doing anything anymore! Without Abrax, who said he would stay by my side forever, now gone?” Polaris did not accept this and was determined to find Abrax no matter what. Polaris searched. Without any leads to where Abrax would be, Polaris went to town after town asking about a dark haired boy with divine powers. “Where is he? I can’t find him. He must be lost. I’m lost without him also. Lost.” Polars would whisper repeatedly. People began to think she was deranged and no one would no longer speak to her. Polaris still searched, repeating the same words. After searching for so many years, Polaris has now become old and nimble yet she still continued. With her head down she went up to a woman to ask about Abrax “Where is he? I can’t find him. He must be lost. I’m lost without him also. So lost.” “I know where he is.” the woman replied in a melodic voice. Polaris gasped surprised when she heard someone knew where he was, let alone her being answered

  • The Glass Castle By Jeannette Walls Analysis

    403 Words  | 1 Pages

    Jeannette Walls has lived a life that many of us probably never will, the life of a migrant. The majority of her developmental years were spent moving to new places, sometimes just picking up and skipping town overnight. Frugality was simply a way of life for the Walls. Their homes were not always in perfect condition but they continued with their lives. With a brazen alcoholic and chain-smoker of a father and a mother who is narcissistic and wishes her children were not born so that she could have been a successful artist, Jeannette did a better job of raising herself semi-autonomously than her parents did if they had tried. One thing that did not change through all that time was the love she had for her mother, father, brother and sisters. The message that I received from reading this memoir is that family has a strong bond that will stay strong in the face of adversity.

  • Karen Tei Yamashita's Tropic of Orange

    2233 Words  | 5 Pages

    “Visualize Child Protective Services (CPS) walking up to your home to take your children away from you. Now picture this, picture what the children feel like escorted away from their parents left to wonder where they will end up.” Says Larry in the beginning of our interview. “Many children experience these thoughts as they walk out the front door of what they call home.” What can we do to ease the anxiety of these young children taken away from parents? Kinship care is one viable option that can ease the worry for children. However, kinship care is not the only placement for children who are taken away from their homes. Other out-of-home placements include group homes, residential treatments, private child welfare institutions, shelters, and even correctional facilities. “Children need a stable and healthy environment” says Larry the Vietnam Veteran. Kinship care is safe and can help many children by preparing them for a successful future. In this essay, I will have two main sections interviewing a Veteran friend of mine named Larry Pearson, whom served in the Vietnam War. The first section of this essay will be titled “Crabs”, which will discuss how all things came together in Larry’s life just as the critters all came together in the home in Mexico in the book “Tropic of Orange.” Many people made their way to the plot, just as many people were placed in Larry’s life, and this has played a major part in my life as well. The second section will be titled “Orange”. The orange in the book “Tropic of Orange” symbolized magic and dreams, so in this section of my paper I will discuss the great benefits of Larry’s decision to serve in Vietnam War. I will use Larry’s life to explain how I have linked together with variations of people ...
