America Monologue

Improved Essays
Opening the once lonely door, there was a hallway that seemed to have just rejoiced with a once depriven necessity. As striking as the first rose in spring, her silky, soft, shiny hair combined with her enticingly exquisite eyes produced a sublime look; it instantly ejected any pressure in the room. Her presence would’ve even made an angry person hopeful.

Withered by time, the plethora of thin liable cracks scattered across the olive-dyed floors and indigo walls with an antique circular pattern ; this house was old enough to live in a pangea . However, there was a skeptical sense of suspicion of this person. Even though she was an aesthetically pleasing model on the front page of a magazine, she carried a repugnant air of deviousness that

It showed of a much happier life, lived by someone who was completely free of the following: guilt, shame and trauma. Her long, curly, frizzy brown hair with a quirky vibrant smile was enticing: a fantasy for many guys of her age. Her tracksuit was decorated with numerous rusty and old medals from all types of disciplines: ‘Outstanding high school scientist’, ‘America’s future cosmology cognoscenti’ ; ‘Most accomplished sportswoman in Texas’, ‘No. 1 Tennis player in Texas’ ; ‘Award for artistic originality’, ‘Beaumont’s unparalleled ingenious composer of music’ ; it looked like this person would’ve been a legend in anything she wished to pursue.

“Who is this person?” I asked anxiously.

“It is me,” she exclaimed with a fizzling voice,: much to the dismay of the people she held dear.

“Do you’ve anything anything else for me?” she enquired.

I gave her a letter. She panicked. Opening the letter, her eyes produced a stream of tears. Finally, her composure was broken. Quavering like a mourner, her voice was reduced to a brittle version of a petrified infant: “Thank you for giving me this,” she replied. She shook my comparatively feeble hand; she had a strength found from the depths of her despair. Her fingers formed a tenacious grip on my hands.

    The Logger of Ellwood Forest “The blade itself incites to deeds of violence.” Homer, The Odyssey Mrs. Rayes crossed the rented cabin foyer, her silk kimono slipping off her shoulders, and the ice-cubes in her glass of whisky clinking against one another as both of her hands shook; one hand gripping whisky and the other reaching for the brass knob of a garishly designed front door, “Laurence,” she said, throwing open the door and grabbing a hold of her son’s left elbow. “Please, Laurence, who taught you to knock so insistently? You’ve given me a migraine.” She complained.…

    The flicker of a lamp powered by a dimly lit lightbulb flashed in intervals onto the cracked concrete path. Scattered shrub shavings, dried pine needles, and petrified insects encrusted the crevices left in between the cement squares. The long and narrow path led up to a strong yet aged wooden door that stood at the foot of the house. The house held nine people, three cats, and many tribulations to come. At first glance the house might’ve seemed ordinary; it had five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a laundry room, living room, kitchen etc.…

    She sees the look of realization on the faces of the ones who have caused her so much pain as the questions are “like a blow on the face.” Her anger is brief but powerful as she drowns in the weight of her grief once more when she sees the “dying” and “neglect” of her children. Given our knowledge of generic conventions such as personification, symbolism, and historical context, the reader is given an even better understanding of the underlying theme and message of the…

    Rain had begun to fall again. Thick drops of crystalline water fell slowly and then all at once, striking the tin roof of Susan Mallard's Seattle home. Once again, she was sitting in her armchair reading whatever book she had plucked from her shelf without looking, turning the pages absently as the rain poured harder around her. Despite, this being a nightly routine, she never actually read the books, she would sit for hours looking at what might as well have been empty pages. Written words on a page contained no essence for her anymore, she had pondered over them for years and had bled them dry of any meaning they had.…

    The woman had died without pain, quietly, as a woman should whose life had been blameless. Now she was resting in her bed, lying on her back, her eyes closed, her features calm, her long white hair carefully arranged as though she had done it up ten minutes before dying. The whole pale countenance of the dead woman was so collected, so calm, so resigned that one could feel what a sweet soul had lived in that body, what a quiet existence this old soul had led, how easy and pure the death of this parent had been. Kneeling beside the bed, her son, a magistrate with inflexible principles, and her daughter, Marguerite, known as Sister Eulalie, were weeping as though their hearts would break. She had, from childhood up, armed them with a strict moral…

    It is astonishing how your life, or someone else’s life, can change in a blink of an eye, I thought during the car ride to the hospital. A man, my father, who had been an athlete in his adolescent years, full of power and energy, was now lying in a hospital bed. As I watched him lie there, hopeless and powerless, I couldn’t bear the fact that I had no control over the situation; it all lay in the doctor’s hands. The day began the same as usual; I get dressed, eat breakfast, and wait for my mother to get ready, so she can drive me to school. That morning my father left earlier than usual that day; I realized as I was staring into the empty parking space, where he parked his ‘bumblebee’ colored electric scooter.…
