893 Words4 Pages

To: The Girl With Bruises on Her Heart After struggling with what I was going to even write about for a week or so, I decided to take the advice from one of the essays I read in class called “How to Write an Essay”. Basically, it told me not to overthink and a burst of inspiration will magically come to me. Surprisingly enough, this works. Because here I am writing my essay a week before it’s due. Yes, shocker I know. It also explained that in order to create a good essay I have to be passionate about my topic. Sometimes that means making it personal and writing about something you have good insight on. Although it’s a heavy topic, I’ve decided to write about the infamous broken heart.

Chances are they’ve been with you through thick and thin and they aren’t going to leave your corner now. They understand that this is a fight you can’t handle on your own, so I encourage that you talk with them. Not to mention they will give you the best hugs. Hugging yourself is alright, but trust me their hugs are better. Talking about your feelings with someone like your parents or best friend is one of the best ways to recover from a traumatic experience like this. I’d also like to add that they are great listeners as well as advisors. This is simply because they have been in similar experiences and are wiser now. I can almost guarantee your mother or father have gone through a heart wrenching break up. Guess what? They made it through and so will

    I believe sharing your distresses with the ones you love and trust will create a lasting bond, and will ease the pain of your loss. Even in the face of inevitability, you can gain strength through the support and encouragement of others; instead of feeling guilty and regretting your decisions, you can leave these arduous experiences as a stronger, more empathetic and resilient person. In a sense, as you create new bonds and strengthen them through every experience you share, your own character also becomes more tenacious and prepared for difficult trials

  • They All Just Went Away Analysis

    1474 Words  | 6 Pages

    Wednesday, October 22 Reading Response 2 “Living Will” by Danielle Ofri is about an author who is a doctor who came across a patient that is suicidal. “They All Just Went Away” by Joyce Carol Oates is about a young lonely girl who finds herself attracted in entering abandoned house and is entranced by other peoples lives and what they left by. Although these stories are very different, I believe both the authors share a similar idea, but different outlooks, of how the main characters in each essay struggle to do the right thing. “Living Will” gives us a better perspective of what doctors today have to face with their jobs. The author, Danielle Ofri, came across a severely ill patient, Wilburn Reston, which really makes her think.
