don't tell

I never was the writer who lived a rich life grand with detailed stories that gave them initial inspiration on my creation of a character, detail of a line or the crafting of a setting/scenario. I just started with something out of the ordinary and built off it. I will say that the only initial theme quantities I enforce are biblical allusions or themes that work as political commentary on religious matter. No matter what I am writing about it try my best to express a political statement or opinion. I will say that the array of topics discussed and imagery used in this short collection is my attempt to remain diverse and produce a broaden voice that covers a multitude of cultural topics, the way I see it is that even though there is more than one popular culture in the world they are all relatable and contains elements of each other within their own teachings. I want my messages and voice to be relatable to any culture, I want to use that diversity in my voice to find a home for my work that lies in between the lines. In attempting such a feat I have learned some valuable lessons about my own writing, values I can categorize in the two groups of strengths and weaknesses. The strengths are easiest to find and easiest to talk about. I have an original/fresh take in using imagery to make connections between objects that by themselves do not support any ideal of excellence. I 've also compressed my writing down to only a few lines which aids my explosive writing style the best.…

Sometimes the connections we try to make in order to build the picture might not always be right, we tend to fail to make those connections just like a normal detective would. The frustrating part of reading a book that’s written differently than what we are used to is understanding what we are reading. Most of the times I felt lost reading a page or a chapter and I would always go back and re-read the page or first few pages in order understand the chapter. There would be a totally new…

past we have had wars after wars and most of us don’t even know why. However, our government makes it seem like everything’s good and we are in peace now when really were not. As regular civilians we don’t get to know what actually is going on and why were in conflicts with foreign countries. Fictional literature is one of the only things we have that gives us deeper meaning in events that we usually don’t get to learn about. It takes us to another world where were invited to learn new about new…

We all know you have a huge circle of friends around you. At school, at your job, near your neighborhood, everywhere. However, what you don’t know is who is your best friend and who is just a friend, acquaintance even. Every person you know could walk up to you and start a conversation with you. Having a large group of friends is great because you always have someone to talk to. But there is always that one friend who is a bit more special that the rest of them. This is your best friend, the one…

to me. She said this: “You’re Indian, why don’t you go back to your Indian school?” At first, I thought that this is just a little girl at a young age where kids don’t really know what they are saying. The next time something like this happened, was in second grade at lunch. My friend, Gabby, was telling me about her vacation to New York when I heard giggles coming from the opposite end of the table. A bunch of girls and boys were pointing fingers at me and saying, “Hey look, its Rus-nut.” I…

Skeeter asks a question about kids that makes her uncomfortable and asks to move to another question. Aibileen tells Skeeter that she has some stories written down that she wants to tell her instead of answering questions. Minnie went to start working for Celia Foote. She started to teach her how to cook and some of her remedies that involve Crisco. She finishes cooking and sits down to eat but Celia comes and sits with her but she’s not use to a white woman wanting to eat with her so when Celia…

Whether it was a viewpoint or how I felt, there always seemed to follow a disparaging voice and negative commentary. For some individuals this would be a lesson in speaking up, to voice their opinion regardless of the reception. For yours truly, I learned over the years to be quiet. I learned to not say anything for fear of disrupting someone else’s view or thoughts. Don’t rock the boat, Royer! was my silent motto. The few times I dared to hold an opposing viewpoint, to speak up; oh did I pay…

in today’s society and there are so many men and woman that have long term effects from being bullied. It is not always someone that does not know that has to bully you. It could be a friend or a family member and you could just shrug it off like it did not happen. Whenever my grandpa was alive he would always tell me that I was…

Going back and forth from Vivian’s life as a little girl, and to Molly’s life and Vivian’s life as an elder, she shows both stories. Molly admits that cleaning out the attic wasn’t as bad as she thought. “I like her. She’s kind of cool” (Kline 128). You can just tell by the conversations they are having now, compared to what they were having at the beginning, that they have gotten closer and they don’t mind each other’s company. As they go through the boxes, Vivian just lets go and tells Molly…

This next song really represents my present. This song is called “Tell the World,” and it was written by a Christian rapper named Lecrae. When we get raised by our parents or guardians we are usually brought up by them how they think a kid should be raised. My parents taught me to not be ashamed of my religion and to feel free about speaking it in public. I openly pray and speak about my faith in the public to this day. This song describes my present because in a sense I am telling the world…
