Kasim: A Short Story
Aaron knew that changing his statement maybe wasn't the wisest decision but he was scared. When he first wrote his statement, describing that Kasim deserved everything he had coming and that he was proud of what he had done as well as enraged that Vic pulled him off the homophobe, the plan was to try to get the worst sentence he could imagine. After what happened with Katie, with punching Robert he deserved everything that was coming for him. But he was scared; who could blame him when the last time he was locked up was hell. He had time to think sitting in the cell his mind wandering thinking how much he hated himself and how much he craved... no, wait, it wasn't just a craving. Yes this is an addiction but it's way more than a crave. He needed …show more content…
I need something on my side. Anything"

He just hoped, begged it was enough. He knew he was going to prison. He adminted the crime. He knew that nothing could prevent him from getting sent down. After all, he was being charged with GBH and that isn't exactly the best offense expecially with a record and previously being on trial for ABH. He knew there was no escape from a cell but he was hoping he would be able to go back to his fiance soon, he wasn't sure how long he could cope, Robert had grown to mean everything to him and he was so scared Robert wouldn't want to stay if the sentence was too large.

He shook that thought out of his head, knowing that Robert would never cheat on him. Trying to know at least becuase it wasn't that he didn't trust Robert it was sustainable that he knew he could never be good enough for him and desevered so much better than him. Why should you expect somebody else to love you when you can't even loved yourself? But the thing was, Aaron loved Robert like Robert was himself and he spent so much focus on loving he couldn't tell her was loved back. Maybe he didn't know what being loved fealt like.

    Jonathan Wayne Nobles: A Rehabilitated Man

    When he was strapped to the hospital gurney, he had some final words for the people he hurt. Why would someone who will be dead in a matter of minutes care to speak to the family of his victims. A person who is not remorseful or rehabilitated would leave this Earth leaving the victims’ family knowing he was not. A non-rehabilitated person would not care to say he was sorry. Wasting time, to get under the skin is not on the agenda for someone who is leaving this world. Nobles said his final words to the family because they will remember this day. They will remember the look in his eyes. He had a final saying to each member. The family will not forget the words he spoke to them individually. Nobles clearly states he is sorry, when he said, “I know you won’t believe me, but I am truly sorry for what I have done. I wish I could undo what happened back the and bring back your loved ones but I can’t.” Here, Nobles would not waste time telling the family he is remorseful, showing he had changed.

Nobles does not want to die, leaving behind the families thinking he was the same man the day he murdered the two girls and seriously injured Ron Ross. After he said his words to each member who was there to view the execution,…

    Robert Harris

    Because he just killed two boys. One prisoner said: ‘‘The guy is a misery, a total scumbag. We are going to have a party when he goes’’. After reading this some people might say to themselves, “Why should a criminal be still alive? And if he is still alive is he a danger to society? Robert Harris is responsible for the killing two teenage boys and emotionally hurting the victim’s family. The victim’s family will struggle to recover which has been caused by Robert Harris. ‘An eye for an eye’’, this means if the murderer kills someone, they must take the life of the murderer. Harris was described as a ‘‘beast’’, this shows he wasn’t human because he killed two young innocent teenage boys for no reason.

    Personal Narrative-Asze Atsma, The Writer

    At the beginning of the year it felt like I would have never been able to write any paper that was more than two pages long, it just seemed impossible, but for the research paper I actually had to stop myself from going off and writing a twelve page paper. I will admit and say that English is not my strong suit, in fact it is probably one of my more difficult classes. But just because it is difficult does not mean I don’t like it. I like looking for topics that interest me and still fit in with the guidelines, I like getting involved in the paper and researching the topic until it feels like my head is about to explode. I never saw any of that coming, I thought that I was going to have to go through English and just pray…

    Personal Narrative: My Anastasija's Life

    The first time I met Anastasija was not quite the first time she ‘met’ me. In particular, before starting her high school education at NOVA International Schools, I had heard of Anastasija and her interests through my contact with one of her cousins, Ms. Bela Gligorova, who was my guidance counselor at that time. I was introduced to Anastasija in person in December 2010, right after I finished my college applications. An inquisitive young mind, a polite and thoughtful person, Anastasija’s curiosity and questions about my college application process and my high school accomplishments, struck me as novelty, since Anastasija was only in seventh grade at the time.…

    A Story of an Hour Character Anazlsis

    In the dictionary, character is defined as the aggregate of the features and traits that form the individual nature of some person or thing. This is what people look for in a person they read about in any kind of genre. There is no perfect character in a story. Every character has some kind of flaw in them that draws us in. This is called a tragic flaw. Tragic flaw is a flaw in the protagonist of a tragedy that brings the protagonist to their down fall. The tragic flaw is what causes the internal turmoil in our character in this particular story. In “Story of an Hour” (p.168-171) by Kate Chopin, the main character Louise Mallard suffers an internal turmoil when she finds out that her husband, Brently has just died. She first sees this as a huge upset then she realizes that she is now free of her husband, who she has never truly loved. Louise also had a heart condition so that “great care was taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband’s death.” (p.168) This is a major part of the story. At one point, the condition goes away. She realizes that her husband was part of the heart problem. Not only was the condition physical but also emotional. When she realizes that her husband has died she has a sense of being free physical but also emotional. She has conflicting emotions that she tells us about by her thoughts and actions rather then in dialogue. These are all traits that help us understand who Louise Mallard is and how she feels about the lost of her husband.…

This is a bold move on Robert’s part and is characterized only by an individual who is no longer kind and endearing.

    In my early childhood, my parents moved numerous times back and forth between the Untied States and Iran. Eventually, my family ended up settling in North Houston, where my father bought a traditional two-story home in a typical gated community. Throughout the years, the house preserved many struggles, and witnessed many successes between my family and I. However, not only did our home observe our experiences, but it also embraced our culture.

However, what I truly value in my home is the fact that it acts as a safe haven for my Persian culture, something that is as delicate and as priceless as my…
