Personal Narrative: The Violence Virus

431 Words2 Pages

The Violence Virus Shaking, worrying, apprehending, I listened to the roaring voice of my father as he yelled at my mother. Violence is never the answer to solving any problem. It always worsens the situation. In my house, it’s led to total negativity; escalating an argument with someone can cause duress, and I can stop it by taking care of local savagery I can control. Foremost, rampage caused an overall ambience of negativity in my dwelling. For example, when my dad raised his voice at my mom that day, there was a depressing demeanor on everyone’s face, including mine. Consequently, it was absolutely hushed, and the only time that it was not that way was after we deeply apologize to one another. I seemed fearful that evening because

    Rebels Without a Cause Not very many people have affected me in the same way as my friend Jake Fernholz. I have never realized the influence he has had on me until someone pointed out that we talk and think the same way. I only met Jake two years ago in track, when a pulled hamstring injury caused Mr. Kellerman to have me practice with the long distance kids. Mr. Kellerman forced me into staying on the long distance team and that is where I started to hit it off with Jake. It took me a long time to be comfortable with Jake, but when I did we quickly found our common interests.

    1. Ishmael Beah’s violent experiences educated me about what the intended outcomes or aftermaths of violence are. One of these is causing unrest and coercing the government to change policies and abide to their terms. Another one is making people afraid and thereby establishing dominance. Another effect it can have is making people feel ashamed of their own powerlessness of being unable to save themselves, their families, and their friends.

    Violence is unacceptable We are living in a turbulent world. On average, there are about 150,000 deaths every day because of diseases, old age, traffic accidents, and especially violence. The data from FBI indicates that in 2013, an estimated 1,163,146 violent crimes occurred in America, and somebody commits a hate crime every hour ("Violent Crime”). The fact that more and more gruesome murders happen shows that we are living in fear of violence, and this violence is unacceptable. FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program states that, “violent crime is composed of four offenses: murder and non-negligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault,” ("Violent Crime”).

    After days of searching for refuge, through the tangle of eroding, weather-beaten and fragmented hills, two score soldiers manned a military outpost where the borders of Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan meet, was placed right before our eyes and it was like the sorrows which previously filled our bodies during our walk to this place, not knowing we would actually find any refuge, had almost fled from our minds, in hope that we would be accepted into this place ahead of us. As we drew nearer and nearer to the refuge, the wind picked up, our energy slowed down, his lips cracked and bled and the sparse energy left in me completely drained out of me and I collapsed onto the ground. Moments later, my head was being cradled in the crook of his arm and I felt the drops of water trickling down my face and onto my eyes, clearing the sand and dust which allowed me to slightly flicker my eyes open to see so many unfamiliar faces staring down at me and the only familiar face, my lover, reached his hands to mine and gently pulled me into his arms, guiding me to a hut which we have been allowed in for as
