It was cold in that kitchen. Minnie looked out the window to her neighbor’s house. Perhaps today she would go visit; perhaps today she would not.

  • A Non-Chronological Narrative In Alison Bechdel's Fun Home

    484 Words  | 1 Pages

    Telling a story chronologically has the benefits of being more clear and easier for the reader to follow. Though, in some circumstances, it can help the story convey its themes and messages to tell the story in a non-chronological way. By doing so, the author can specifically choose, the important events and focus on them, or continually touches on certain occurrences to emphasize various aspects within them. Alison Bechdel in her memoir Fun Home uses a non-chronological narrative to demonstrate her way of thinking and how she continually thought of her past experiences with different perspectives as well as mimicking her live recollection of the events. This method of storytelling is effective for her memoir, as it allows the reader to step into her shoes a bit and see different possible views by repeatedly being exposed to the events she is fixated on.

The living room looks cloudy. “What’s burning? What is up? Whose jacket is this?” Linette asks hanging her bag. “What has come over my son, God?” She asks rhetorically looking up the ceiling. “Didn’t we discuss this before I left for Dubai?” Linette asks Brian, her eldest son who is slowly becoming a drug addict. “What are you up to this time round? What are you smoking, my dear…pot?” Linette asks as she bends to pick pieces of what looks like packaging manila. “Oh my goodness!” She pauses. “Look at what you are doing to your sister. Can’t you spare her at least?” Linette wonders as she stretches her arms to pick up Kimberly, her youngest daughter. “Mom…” Kimberly utters. “I miss you!” Kimberly says as she reaches her mother’s ears. “I know ma’am!

  • Decoding The Enigma: Psychopaths and Sociopaths

    939 Words  | 2 Pages

    Even today, these disorders are still incredibly shrouded in mystery. One reason for that is because these two diseases are almost always accompanied with the ability to masterly manipulate and lie. You can't tell the difference between a sociopath and a stranger. As far as medical facts on psychopaths and sociopaths, there are very little. According to Psychologist Martha Stout, an estimate of 4% of the people in the world are psychopaths and "free of conscienceness." In the United States of America alone, that's 12 million people. That means that there are 12 million people in the U.S. that lack empathy, and have keen skills of manipulation, deceit, and selfishness who have an almost God-like complex. Despite many upon many theorized sociopathic

  • On Dumpster Diving

    “Although very rare with modern canning methods, botulism is a possibility. Most other forms of food poisoning seldom do lasting harm to a healthy person. But botulism is almost certainly fatal and often the first symptom is death. Except for carbonated beverages, all canned goods should contain a slight vacuum and suck air when first punctured. Bulging, rusty, dented cans and cans that spew when punctured should be avoided, especially when the contents are not very acidic or syrupy.” The speaker is so desperate to survive that he is willing to risk his health and wellbeing. Additionally, the contents of what people discard are also a reflection of society. As the speaker’s dumpster diving journey further unfolds, the speaker discusses his discoveries of illicit drugs, bank statements, bills, alcohol, pornography etc. “I avoid trying to draw conclusions about the people who dump in the Dumpsters I frequent. I think it would be unethical to do so, although I know many people will find the idea of scavenger ethics too funny for words.” The speaker begins to
