It was the summer of ‘89, but I would call it the summer of him. Now the sad part about this story is that he came into my life as quickly as he left it. Now it wasn’t that he broke my heart, even though he did. Nor was it disappointing when he left; it was the one fact I had to swallow--he knew it was the end, but he promised himself that he wouldn’t tell me. And when he finally did, he was out of time. And no, he didn’t die, even when I knew he had bad days, days when I thought he would. He always seemed to pull through. And yes, I know he is out there happy, maybe not as happy as when I was in his arms. Or when were were dancing in the pale moonlight. Or even as bubbly as he was during our midnight pool parties. But I also know that he misses …show more content…
When we got there he pulled out a flannel, tossed it to me, then threw on a different one. The grass was tall, the air was warm, and the sky was a bit hazy. I was about to lay on the grass when he said, “If you’re the type that’s down to earth lay in the grass, but I think you’ll have more fun up on the hood, plus you’ll be a few feet closer to the …show more content…
It was cool and felt damp but we hadn’t seen rain in days. We laid there for a few hours which felt like minutes, I’d even catch him peeking at me which oddly was kinda romantic, but I had no clue how. It was getting late, so we admired the sky one last time before going back home.
Dustin drove me home, and he sat in my driveway for a while, we just studied each other 's faces in silence then letting the cab of his truck fill with the murmur of “How Deep is Your Love” by The Bee Gees. I glanced down, said good night and thanked him for the ride. He drove off with a cloud of dust following him until I couldn’t see any farther down the street. I climbed through my window not wanting to wake my family, and flopped on my bed then just laid there thinking about how I was starting to fall for him.
It had been a few weeks and I’d been spending a lot of time with Dustin. He came over and spent the night, which consisted of zero sleep, good old music, and a pool party in the middle of the night. He came to the play that I was starring in; he even picked me up during the day just to take me to
As we got in the big red truck my dad said you ready and I said ‘YES’. There we are on the road. As we entered Omaha

Whenever I pulled up at his house I had gotten to hang out but then we went to bed. The next morning whenever I woke up we made Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, and Toast. We were going to eat outside because it was so nice. One thing that we had to make sure of was that we put on our bug spray because of the bad mosquitoes out there.
All I long to do is forget. Forget him, his sweet melodic voice , his strong embrace he holds me within, even his beautiful green eyes that seem to stare through me. Only the remembrance of him kills me, makes me ill. My heart can not bare this pain of losing him, of him disappearing like the fine morning mist. I shall never hear his sweet voice, look into his eyes, or be held in his embrace.
Elie Wiesel considers the nature of intimate relationships during the Holocaust in his book titled Night. Night reveals that kind human interactions are essential during such traumatic events. My thesis is that there are three main responsibilities people have towards each other during times of tragedy; friends and family must provide each other with comfort, motivate one another, and be understanding so that they can help each other through the most challenging times of their lives. During times of distress, individuals must comfort one another.
On the way we got juicy tacos. As we were driving to Six Flags we saw lots of people gathered around and really caught my eye. So we went to see and it was an amazing dancer that was all in gold. He reminded me of The Cat In The Hat because he had an extremely long black hat. After we left the gold dancer, we were still on our way.
The idea of marriage and what was considered an ideal union has drastically evolved. Marriage has only become an option in our civilization it’s no longer a social requirement, neither a priority for a female or male to get marry. In “The Yellow Wallpaper” Charlotte Perkins Gilman illustrates a controlling and dysfunctional relationship that also relates to “The Story of an Hour” where Kate Chopin also reveals a dysfunctional and unhappy marriage. When paired together, both pieces of writing portrait the other side of marriage where everything is not just a happy ending and it’s shown as incarceration and loss of freedom. Also, both writing take place in the nineteenth century, a time period when marriage was considered the right thing to do
The book Night by Elie Wiesel teaches many different lessons about the human nature, human condition, and society. Elie is a boy that grew up in Sighet, Transylvania (present day Romania) during the time that the Nazi’s and Adolf Hitler came to power. After being placed in ghettos, the Jews of Sighet eventually got shipped off to the concentration camps, the first being Auschwitz/Birkenau. When the Jews first arrived at these camps, they made sure to keep their friends and family close, as well as they looked out for eachother. After months passed by, many began to grow weak due to the lack of food and the harsh conditions that they faced.
Silenced Night came quickly as we headed on our way home walking through a dark, silent street. The chilly weather outside made the nights here unbearable. It was so cold I felt like an icicle( hyperbole). This was the usual weather in London.

I was happy for him, thrilled he was enjoying this trip-of-a-lifetime, but we should have been in Prague together. Tears of melancholy burned my eyes when I thought about how I was missing out. And when I considered my current reality, lying in my sick bed day after day,

He almost snatches the door open, before the car has completely stopped.
The ocean… The sound of the waves applauding and hugging the shore. The internal sounds of the body out in the world’s biggest swimming pool. The echo of my sister’s laughter. The salty smell so strong that one can taste it dancing on ones taste buds.
