Charlotte Green Research Paper

591 Words3 Pages

Charlotte Green. Generous, witty, playful, intelIigent, brave, a fighter, and gone. Charlotte took her life on May 24, 2013. Two days before her 12th birthday. Charlotte, once one of my closest friends, and now just a wisp of a memory of someone I once knew. I don’t know why she did it, and yet I understood perfectly. I don’t know why she decided to choose to be so young when she left this world, and yet it seemed like the best decision. I have no idea why she wanted to leave me here with a false sense of hope that she would get better, and somehow I’m not mad. I wanted her to live and be here, happy, with me today. Instead she let her fear get in the way, and she ran from it. I wanted her monsters to go away as much as she did, but I think even more. …show more content…

Charlotte was the first friend and person who was close to me, who showed me what it was like to go through depression as a young individual. I saw what not many people saw. I saw both sides of Charlotte. I saw her with and without her mask that hid her insecurities. Charlotte told me what it was like to have these “monsters” in her mind. Charlotte lived with anorexia and depression. I remember, once in fourth grade, she wrote a story. Her story was titled, “When I Play With the Monsters, They Bite.” She went on to describe what it was like when she played with her monsters. She said she couldn’t see them, and she couldn’t feel them, but she could hear them. And they were loud, demanding, and harmful. She said they never wanted to do what she wanted. They only wanted her to hurt herself. The teacher grew frightened of what Charlotte was describing, and took her outside to speak with Charlotte about her story. Later, I asked what Charlotte had said in response. Charlotte looked at me slowly and replied, in a quiet and guarded voice.“Liv, I wasn’t lying. I really do have

    Georgia O’Keeffe was born in 1887 in rural Wisconsin, and by the young age of 10 decided she wanted to be an artist. She was taught by a local watercolorist named Sara Mann in her younger years, and went on to attend the School of the Art Institute of Chicago from 1905 to 1906. In 1908 O’Keeffee stopped painting for 4 years because she disliked the more traditionalist style of painting she had been taught. She was inspired to paint again by Arthur Wesley Dow who taught a less traditional style. Her art progressed from this point, and she had her first solo exhibit in 1917.

I know it takes courage to be willing to change yourself for the better, or become an independent being, but I think being able to risk your life for another takes the most courage. I think it’s harder for someone to give up everything they have for another person, and Charlotte did so, so simply, I think it’s

    Educating the Early 20th Century Family Raising any child, whether that child is male or female, is both a delightful and intimidating experience. This is true even in early 20th century terms where Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery is set. It can be argued that for many a woman was much more daunting of a sex to raise than a man and that men are more valuable to a family. Interestingly, Green Gables can be a more progressive place for a woman during this time than originally anticipated. Anne Shirley, the protagonist and the orphan adopted by Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, was originally almost like a feral child with a loud mouth.
