Belle's Eulogy: Bramble Elliot
ONE Belle’s Eulogy "We are gathered here today to mourn the death of Bramble Elliot, who died on the 22nd of May. A girl who thought taking her life was the only solution and thought she wouldn't have missed or mourned. But she was wrong..." I hear the Priest say but after that I space out. Tears are dowry streaming down my face and I can't focus on anything except a few words. "Guilt...tragedy...pain...death..." Suddenly, someone's shaking my arm and I realize it's time for me to give my eulogy. Snapping out of my daze, I look up to see Mr. Elliot standing in front of me with red eyes filled with tears. I'll admit Paul—Mr. Elliot—is handsome with his short, brown hair, striking grey eyes, tanned skin and a fit body. Perfect like his wife, Ella. She has long, curly brown hair, dazzling blue/green eyes, a skinny body and freckles …show more content…
Bramble looked like an identical mix of her parents. Just seeing Paul sends another waterfall of tears down my face. Taking a deep breath, I get up and start walking towards the podium. After grabbing onto it for support, I take a deep breath, calm down and look at the paper in my hands. "Bramble Elliot was more than just my boss’s daughter. She was way more than that. She was like the daughter I never had, always so polite and helpful. She never wanted any of us to wait on her. Life with Bramble was always a fun, entertaining show. She made us all laugh when she would walk down the grand staircase dressed to give us a fashion show in these huge fancy dresses and shoes with her makeup and hair done, because it wasn't her. Bramble was a simple girl. If she could've, she would’ve just worn baggy sweatshirts and tights every day to school. She even told me so. Bramble thought she was unloved and that no one would care if she left; boy was she wrong. What could've made a sweet girl like her feel that way? Or more so, who? When I read the note on her door,

    32 “Well its actually happening ma’, I’m goin’ back to school.”Rufus said. “I want you to know, I truly am proud of you Rufus.” His mother replied. Curtis and Janet went to a different school then Rufus but he still walked them to school then walked himself to school. On his way to school a car followed him very slowly but Rufus kept walking. When he got to school it looked the same on the outside that it always had. Rufus pushed open the doors at Searingtown School and yelled “I’m back!” All of his friends ran over to hug him. He went down to the office to get a tour he thought he didn’t need because he remembered every single solitary thing about this place. While the tour was going on everything going on was a blur. He looked left, right and left again, admiring the changes the school had made. “Wow” he sighed. “Is there a problem Rufus?” the tour guide asked. Rufus answered, “When I was here the wall paint was all chipped, there were broken windows and holes in the walls.” “Oh ok, well that concludes our tour and this door on your right is your first period class.” The tour guide replied. Rufus walked in and sat at an available seat at the back of the class room. He opened his notebook and took notes even though he didn’t understand anything that was going on. By the time 5th period came around it was time for lunch he was starving. All of his friends called him over and asked him to sit with him. Momma didn’t make him a big lunch because they didn’t have that much food in the house and then needed to split it 3 different ways. Allison who used to have a big crush on Rufus sat right next to him. Mitchell and Charlie sat across from him and Christina, Alisha and Sammy sat around them. When the bell rang he went to his locker and when he got to class he looked out the window and saw the same car that followed him to school. The only person he thought of was Simon. But he didn’t have a car? Rufus ran to the office to explain the…

    “The funny thing about it was that if parents ever had a daughter they could trust it was the Mather’s and Robyn, but they didn’t seem to have worked it out yet. The biggest problem she was ever likely to give them was being late to church. And that’d probably be because she was helping a boy scout across the road.”…

    Arthur Lynn Smith: The Man Who Changed My Life

    I never thought me, of all people, would experience such a sorrowful day. I have tried to forget it time and time again; but the reality is I will always remember every miniscule detail, moment, word, and facial expression on that particular day. My heart managed to shatter into a million pieces, leaving me without a reason to pursue my existence. My salty tears freely rolled down my warm cheeks, causing my eyes to burn sensationally. I remember mourning on the comforting shoulders of my family members, as they too were consumed by their feelings. The most valuable lesson that beared a reservation in my spirit was to cherish every moment and loved one, for tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone. I wish I could have fathom this reality before the climactic tragedy struck me like a ton of bricks. Although death is normal, it seemed almost foreign when it abducted the life of my favorite uncle.…

When she gets to school she finds all of these “clans that everyone is in like the Jocks, Country Clubbers, Idiot Savants, Cheerleaders, Human Waste, Eurotrash, Future Fascists of American, Big Hair Chix, the Marthas, Suffering Artists, Thespians, Goths, and Shredders” (Anderson 4).

    They were up on a picnic table at that park by the lake, by the edge of the lake, with part of a downed tree in the shallows half hidden by the bank. Lane A. Dean, Jr., and his girlfriend, both in bluejeans and button-up shirts. They sat up on the table’s top portion and had their shoes on the bench part that people sat on to picnic or fellowship together in carefree times. They’d gone to different high schools but the same junior college, where they had met in campus ministries. It was springtime, and the park’s grass was very green and the air suffused with honeysuckle and lilacs both, which was almost too much. There were bees, and the angle of the sun made the water of the shallows look dark. There had been more storms that week, with some downed trees and the sound of chainsaws all up and down his parents’ street. Their postures on the picnic table were both the same forward kind with their shoulders rounded and elbows on their knees. In this position the girl rocked slightly and once put her face in her hands, but she was not crying. Lane was very still and immobile and looking past the bank at the downed tree in the shallows and its ball of exposed roots going all directions and the tree’s cloud of branches all half in the water. The only other individual nearby was a dozen spaced tables away, by himself, standing upright. Looking at the torn-up hole in the ground there where the tree had gone over. It was still early yet and all the shadows wheeling right and shortening. The girl wore a thin old checked cotton shirt with pearl-colored snaps with the long sleeves down and always smelled very good and clean, like someone you could trust and care about even if you weren’t in love. Lane Dean had liked the smell of her right away. His mother called her down to earth and liked her, thought she was good people, you could tell—she made this evident in little ways. The shallows lapped from different directions at the tree as if almost teething on it. Sometimes when…

    Personal Narrative: Judy Garland

    Garland stopped me and asked if I could escort her to the nearest private restroom. While we were in route to the third floor, we had the most wonderful conversation. She talked about the Hollywood lifestyle and what her life was like after becoming a household name, everything was great. But it was the conversation on the way back that made both of us open each other’s eyes to one another’s life. Before getting on the elevator, she asked me “why do the good people that come into her life always have to leave so soon?” I never answered that question, in fact, i didn’t say anything. I just gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek, wiped the tears from her eyes, and healed her hand all the way to the ground floor; and finally said “I love you.” Now here we are, forty-seven years later and she gone. All she ever wanted was to know what a normal life was like, and I bowed to give it to her; even if that meant I was to call her honey for the rest of her life. That why, when I look at her at this very moment, I feel as complete as I did when she was by my side, because I know I was able to achieve what she always…

    Because of this very reason she lost her spot at Alief Early College High School. Back to her home campus she went. As soon as she got there she could hear comments about how she was such a ….. For lack of a better word a jezebel. This went on for about a week. Finally she shouted, “I am not Jessica. She is my twin. My name is Yalene!” She began to cry. There passed about a minute or two before the counselor came to speak to her. As the counselor spoke to Yalene she noticed that she had cuts upon her arms. The counselor started to bring the situation up gradually. “What happened to your arm?” Yalene was skeptical about answering. “I’ve been …I’ve been cutting myself “she began to cry again.

    Monlogue of Sheila Birling

    I feel extremely responsible for the horrid tragedy of what had happened to that young lady. On the other hand at the time it took place I was in a furious temper; I had tried on this dress, and well.... it just didn’t suit me at all! Then the girl- had tried on the dress as if she was wearing it. And it just suited her. She was the right type for it. She was very pretty too- with big dark eyes. I caught sight of the girl smiling at Miss Francis- as if to say, “doesn’t she look awful”- and I was absolutely furious. That is when it all happened. I lost all sense of what was right and let anger and jealousy fill me up to the direst cruelty. I said without second thought of consideration to the manager, “this girl had been very impertinent”. You see it didn’t seem so bad at the time. She was pretty and looked as if she could take care of herself. Well now I know well- ‘never judge a book by its cover’. However now it is too late! I cannot even go back to say, “sorry Eva Smith”, never mind helping her, thought if I could now that I know the great, vile grief I helped to cause this girls death, I would do all I can for her. Oh why had this had to happen? I feel I can never go to Milward’s again- I noticed even this afternoon- I suppose some of them remember.…

    "Inventing Elliot" the Final Chapter

    He gave me a confused look, “Oh… uh, hello Elliot. Didn’t expect to see you here this early. Is there something I can do for you?” Before he answered Elliot walked in and took a seat in front of the principal’s desk. Without any hesitation he spilled everything, everything he’s been keeping bottled up for much too long. He shed his look of indifference and went deep, deep inside himself and pulled out the old Elliot, the Elliot that had always been there no matter how hard he tried to push him back down. Spilling the whole story was easier than Elliot thought it would be. Not even for a single second did he feel bad about what he was doing. Elliot was changing again, but this time for the better, and he could see his old self again. As he came to a close, he finally looked up at the principal. He wasn’t sure how to react to his expression of utter disappointment so he simply got up and left. The principle needed time to take in everything Elliot just said and he had other things he needed to do.…
