Personal Narrative-My Star's Shooting Star

1141 Words5 Pages

Shooting Star I hold the crumpled letter tightly; still I do not have enough courage to open it. The funeral had just begun, I cannot hold up till the end of it. The priest beckoned to me, ushering me towards his side so that I could say some last words. I dreaded to walk up in front of the whole crowd. As I walked I felt completely weak, numb, empty and senseless. At last I managed to stand straight but did not have the courage to face the crowd. The sorrowful words which shot out seemed peculiar, “well, I cannot believe it, I lost him my only mood maker, the bond which we nurtured could never compete with the bonds which other grandchildren and grandfathers could share.” Those words came out soft, my voice disappeared then tears rushed like waterfall out of my lonely eyes. “If only I could rewind those last five minutes he would not be so troubled. He was my brightest star which shone brightly in the lonely sky and now without saying good-bye that brightest star lost its charm and shine.” I took a deep breath and then, “in a lonely road and it might be even miles away that I have to tread on alone” automatically I ran to the washroom and remained inside for a long time.

    As an avid fan of the manipulation of language, double meanings of words have always interested me. “Brilliance” with its multifaceted denotations is my favorite word because it accurately describes the essence of who I am. In one aspect, brilliance means “exceptional talent and intelligence”. I am hard working; I achieve high grades in school and use the wisdom I gain in daily experiences. As a leader, I have to use my insightfulness often to think of quick and efficient ways to lead.

    1774 Words  | 8 Pages

Some differences include the tone towards death as ‘Funeral Blues’ was written with a more mocking, sarcastic tone towards death and grieving the loss of a loved one, (even though it was later interpreted as a genuine expression of grief after the movie “Four Weddings and a Funeral” in 1994), whereas ‘Remember’ has a more sincere and heartfelt tone towards death. In addition, ‘Funeral Blues’ is entirely negative towards death not only forbidding themselves from moving on but also forbidding the world from moving on after the tragic passing of the loved one, whilst ‘Remember’ gives the griever

    A sense of accomplishment is invaluable to a person. Not only does a sense of accomplishment build confidence and faith in oneself, but it also allows one to reflect on how wonderful the journey to the accomplishment was, and how every little struggle and triumph was worth it. In the middle of summer, where time seems endless and the stress of the previous school year has been shed by students, I never expected to find out that I scored a five on both of the advanced placement exams I took. Nor did I have one-hundred percent confidence the goals we set as section leaders of the marching band would actually be met. Yet to my surprise, I had the good fortune of accomplishing challenging things in both aspects of my life.
