Picture yourself twenty years from now, standing in the very exact spot you had placed your feet over two decades ago. You can already feel the rush of excitement flooding over you as your hefty shovel seeps viciously into the dark, moist soil. With every heap of earth you plow, more and more anticipation creeps up on you until you strike something quite rigid with a jolt. You rapidly begin to remove the dirt secluding the stiff object, hoping that it’s not just another rock. However, as soon as you catch a glimpse of a worn piece of wood, you immediately know that this is not just another hunk of earth. You swiftly hoist the heavy crate to ground-level and unfasten the rusty metal latch. With a wide overview of all the chest’s contents, you …show more content…
You are confused as to if you are melancholy, glad, or even both. With every item holding so much value and reminiscence, the capsule truly acts as an excursion to the past. If I were to place items in a time capsule and bury it, I would put three items with extreme significance to my present life and past. These three items would include my very first piano book, a picture of my dog, and my worn-out field hockey stick. The first item that I would put in my time capsule would be my very first piano book. The first reason why I would put my piano book in my time capsule is that piano has gotten me through many tough situations in my life. For instance, one time last year I made the horrible mistake of talking about one of my friends behind her back to another girl in my class. The girl, who was thought to be trustworthy, informed my friend all the things I had stated about her. When my friend confronted me, I had no idea of what I should do- own up to my mistakes or deny even doing it in the first place. Both seemed to have equally bad outcomes at the moment, so I had a huge decision to make in order to save the friendship. Therefore, to get my mind off everything, hoping the answer
Members of Wooster 's Ebenezer Lodge 33 expressed a desire for a full-scale Masonic ceremony when the county commissioners return an archival box to a stone niche in the Wayne County Courthouse. Community leaders like the idea of combining the event with the annual Ohio Light Opera concert, which features patriotic and popular music, on July 4th. While the two events are not necessarily mutually exclusive, there is a scheduling conflict.
Throughout my life I have collected many sentimental objects and symbols that represent achievements, memories, friendships, and my childhood. I constantly look back at those items, as they lay in my room, in order to relive the happiness it reminds me of. I plan to carry these articles with me as long as I live, because they each portray different stories that I want to remember forever. Just like how Holden holds close to Allie’s baseball mitt, I hold close to many items as well. Among the many artifacts that I possess and are on display in my room, some of my favorites include: a starfish, photos to document past memories, a scrapbook, and a tennis medal.
Jeannette Casique Hannah English Composition II 02, March 2016 The Things I Carry There are times in our lives where the things we carry can have a major impact on us, whether if it is our emotions, the essential items we need or the items that signify a sentimental value to us. As we all travel through life, we tend to experience many obstacles along the way that will cause a significant emotional reaction within you, whether if it was a painful, harmful and positive or a negative experience, we endure all of these emotions throughout our lives that mold us to the person we are today. Not only do we carry our emotions but we also tend to have a collection of essential items we need or items that signify a sentimental value to us.
Many people have certain objects that either bring out an emotion within themselves or remind them about something in particular. These certain objects represent different aspects of life. For example, a beloved family heirloom that has been passed down for generations could evoke memories and feelings about family members who have passed on. Personally, I have never had anything special given to me from family members or anything, in particular, which I kept from when I was growing up. My color guard rifle, FFA Official Jacket, and my copy of the last picture I have with my sister all hold importance to me due to each object representing either transition, love, or loss in a period of my life.
If i were in that situation I would bring my favorite journal because I would sometimes get very bored and wright random stuff on it, also because it is the only thing that I could trust to let out all my problems and secrets that nobody else will know about, and also I like to read everything I wrote and added on through the months and days. I would take
An object that has great significance to me is, a Build-a-Bear I got from my grandmother for Christmas almost ten years ago. He’s brown with black and grey highlights and his name is Honey. This specific bear is still so important to me because sadly, my grandmother passed away in October of 2013. Obviously when I first got it, I wasn’t thinking about the thought or meaning of the gift, I was just so ecstatic that my grand mom’s voice was coming through a bear. I went everywhere with him, wouldn’t put him down for anything.
Many people are not happy with the things they own because it is “too much” of they have and it is not worth keeping it. However, they have spent money on it therefore, they cannot throw it out easily or they could have stored memories within it. Similarly, in the article “The Class Politics of Decluttering” by Stephanie Land, published on July 18, 2016, suggests how Marie Kondo’s tidying up methods do not give joy. Land explains how throwing away things make you sad because they are not only the things which require space, but the memories that you have created with them. Land defines nostalgia as a sad emotion because she has to throw away her stuff to have enough space in her house.
“Tradition is not looking after the ash, but to keep the flame alive”- Jean Jaures. This quote means to not just do the tradition to embrace it. This passage has made a significant impact on my life. The three reasons this is important to me is the “Medicine Bag” embarrass the kids. Other reasons are that friends are important, and getting an object passed down.
The items found inside are links to members that have long passed, that are still living, and to those that have not been born yet. The chest itself may reach a point where it cannot hold anything anymore, however, the memories found inside will last
Through life people become drawn to certain objects that have a story that is connected to them. Whether it is something that he or she learned from relatives, an accomplishment, or something that was received. It doesn't matter why we think things are important, they will always stay important. That’s because we care about the recollection or deep meaning that the objects bring. Some people
In the 19th century and in 2015 keepsakes are symbolic representations of a loved one. Keepsakes help us to remember not only the departed as who that person was, but what the departed meant to us. It is a physical reminder that makes us remember that the departed existed. It is these four elements; acceptance of death, the power of presence, last words and keepsakes from the departed that constitute a good
Songs are a way that I can time travel. When I hear a song that reminds me of an event in my past, I get teleported to the event and the warm feeling of nostalgia takes over. Listening to a song that I can personally relate to can be one of the best feelings in the
The sentimental value comes from personal experience, my grandpa who I had witnessed being healthy for many years, was diagnosed with a brain tumor and had to have surgery. He lost so much weight and struggled to move for over a year, seeing how much he suffered made me want to get into the medical field and help others that are dealing with the same experience. As I searched the branches of the medical field, I found Anesthesiologist to be the most interesting. After doing some research, the stories on how patients have woken up during surgery and felt pain but could not say anything broke my heart to pieces. This impacted me emotionally due to the sensitive person I am at heart.
There is something we all carry almost everywhere with us that means a lot to us. It can either be a tangible object or something intangible like bitterness or a secret. We may or may not like what we carry everywhere with us but we still do. I carry keys with me.
One of the five items in my treasure box is my St. Martha sweater I received for my graduation. I chose this item because the experiences at St. Martha has shaped me into the individual I am today. This sweater is important to me because it represents an era of my life that I won’t ever forget. I grew up in the school and the sweater is a reminder of how much I’ve grown throughout the past ten years. I’ve spent the past ten years of my life at St. Martha and I’ve learnt countless life lessons from my experiences, teachers, and students from the school.
