Jack Dickey Descriptive Writing
The thrills of the people around us were exciting. Everyone is almost bursting for the moment their kid's name is called off of the speaker. As I look around, I see the joy in everyone's eyes and decide to take a picture. The enthusiasm in my nana’s eyes started to glow up the gym. We are all anxious about hearing the name “Jakob Dickey”. There is no other feeling like it. The sparkling glow was attacking the air from my Aunt Kim’s excitement. No one knew if he would make it, but we were so glad he did. This was the moment he was about to graduate. This would be his shining night, and the glow of their smiles showed it. It felt like hours before they started to call the names, but we didn't care. Why would you? It is a special night anyway. The people behind my Nana and my Aunt Kim didn't seem as happy as my whole family. They look as though they are there for disappointment, as for what should've been there for happiness and joy. They look as though they are lost, and don't know where they are. It is as if they are the opposites of what my Aunt Kim and Nana’s feeling are. My family is extremely happy, and they are as though disappointed. They are on a cloud of joy thundering. …show more content…
As I snap the shot, Principle Graves chimes into the first part of the ceremony. Everyone was jumping with joy, and shouting WOOOO, as he starts to sing the words he has been practicing for months. As the speeches go on, and everyone is waiting for it to be over they finally pull the graduating class to the front. They all start walking down the aisle to sit in the last seat oh high school and are all about to burst. My Nana and Aunt Kim are glowing more than ever at this point. It was as the seats were holding them up as high as possible to make sure they saw

    Short Story: Wisconsin Union Grove Veteran's Home

    As they opened the last bedroom door on the first floor, tears pooled in the eyes of a man who had decades of living ______ on his face. Though a fresh, white stubble was emerging on his chin and rosacea had settled on his cheeks and nose, Jesse youthfully shouted the three words that (something something something like maybe lost their meaning idk, changed path of his life, never failed to soothe him, some shit, come back make this sound good. ) The former choir conductor clumsily forced a Christmas CD into his boombox, brought the sound to the highest volume, and energetically gestured his left hand to direct the chorale of grandchildren around his bed. Despite his inability to vocalize each word, Jesse belted out each note in sheer delight. When “Jingle Bells” had ended, each child received a dollar bill and a handful of hard caramels. His sprightly eyes illuminated with excitement as he eagerly awaited a reaction for his gifts. One by one, Jesse’s four grandchildren bent over and awkwardly gave the left side of his body a hug. As they pulled away, visible tear droplets were streaming down his face. His emotional personality only intensified when his eleven-year old granddaughter sang the first verse of “Bless the Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts. MAYBE SOMETHING ABOUT THE LYRICS IDK Happiness twinged with melancholia filled his lungs, as…

    Summary Of Jeannette Walls By Jeannette Walls

    As a memoir, this is truly unique. It must have taken tremendous effort to write this often painful recollection of your own life. Yet, the exercise of exploring the dynamics of such a dysfunctional family, and the parental unit as a separate entity analyzed by a daughter, had to be a revelation and a healing experience. One merit of the work is the strength of character bred into these children, celebrated and seen in…

    "Graduation" by Maya Angelou Critique

    “Graduation” starts with Angelou’s generalization of a high school senior’s graduation. She describes how the entire student body, teachers, and community helps the senior class in their last weeks of school. “They came to school without their books, or tablets, or even pencils. Volunteers fell over themselves to secure replacements for the missing equipment” (Angelou 21). She describes the teachers talking to students as equals and exhibiting more respect towards them as graduation became closer. Angelou compares her school to the white high school. Her school does not have fences to mark its border, has only a few trees to give shade, and has a large area that doubles as a baseball diamond and basketball court. She explains how important the event of graduating from eighth grade is. Girls wearing new dresses if their parents can afford it, decorations hang throughout the school, and speeches are prepared are just a few examples. Angelou states that at her grandmother’s house she is the center of attention. She receives gifts and a Sunday breakfast on the Friday morning of graduation. Angelou thinks her planning and studying is finally going to pay off.…

    Not realizing that only half of the school day had passed, I sat in the school parking lot for two hours. I had planned on grading essays on a play we’d just read in my english class, but I couldn’t bring myself to do any thing but think of Gene. Finally, Summer, my six year old daughter and Finny, my eight year old son came to the car. Gene had just been admitted to the hospital this morning and the kids didn’t know yet so I explained to them, with as little detail as possible, what was going on and we drove to the…

    Tony Lovato Descriptive Writing

    The smell of molding laundry always filled the air at my cousin Rachel’s old Blue Island house. As we walked down the dark, narrow, creaking stairs, we all knew weren’t allowed down there but we somehow always stumbled down into the basement where my much older cousin Joey’s room and hang out was. He was rarely home when my sister Haley and I slept over, so all three of us would rummage through his things. We were always told not to even come close to touching his band equipment but we never really listened to that. We later found out about a man named Tony Lovato, my cousin’s semi-good friend with whom he jammed out with every once in a while. Many know of this man as the lead singer to the band Mest,…

    Rocketing across the water, the beach and sky blur into one. But in my mind everything is still, even calm in fact. My eyes dart around. I see men. Pain and panic fill their eyes. Some tremble as if catching a fever. Other soldiers clutch on to their weapons as if gripping onto their mother’s hand when learning how to walk. Some soldiers drink from their canteens, as if it’s the last drink to enter their bodies. I feel my heart race, blood pump through my veins. The Captain yells, “30 seconds! Good luck, men. May God be with you and I’ll see you on the beach!”…

    Acceptance Letter To Clemson

    “I got accepted to Clemson!” Chad had screamed with excitement as he opened the neatly sealed Clemson orange tinted acceptance letter, and Cole similarly screamed: “Well I got accepted to James Madison!”, for he had gotten a purple tinted acceptance letter from James Madison. My whole family and I congratulated them on the accomplishment of being admitted into the colleges that they had worked so diligently to get in, that they wanted so bad to get into. The dinner table that night was ecstatic and full of energy, and we had a grand feast like the ones they might have had in Rome or another great empire. After dinner was finished being cleaned up, and we had all happily trudged off to our rooms and such other places for the rest of the night, and I was enjoying playing video games and talking to my brothers, just having the best and most thrill ridden night with them; but that would change in the following weeks.…

    Everyone’s face shone with joy and the children shook their parent’s hands from side to side screaming happily. The sweet smell of fluffy cotton-candy tickled my nose as I entered the park. “Ooooh!Ahhhhh!” The cries of joy and sounds of machines whirring never seemed to stop.
