Third Person Omniscient She ran. Her classmates yelled for her to come back, but she was no longer interested in what they had to say. She ran as fast as she could, to get away from it all. All of the ignorant comments that she’s heard throughout the past years have built up, and this one brought her to her boiling point— she had to let off some steam and get some time to herself. As she ran, she saw the door getting closer and closer to her reach, and a knowing smile grew on her face. When the door came within arm’s reach, tear of relief rolled down her cheek. Kyla pushed the door open with all of her might and sat in the corner of the cold, empty stairwell.

A friend wondered.

She realized that she had power as a student. She ran, as fast as she could, up the stairs, through the doors that lead to the eighth floor. Kyla ran with confidence, and the frown that was once on her face evolved into an expression that showcased her determination. With the help of her speed and excitement, her tears dried and her frown disappeared. Bursting through the doors of the principal’s office, she gave a quick rundown of every offensive incident from the beginning of the school year to today’s. Her mouth moved faster than anatomically possible; she stumbled over her words, but not enough to the point in which her speech could be misunderstood. Coincidentally, the friend got up from the commons area and also went to the principal’s office only a few minutes thereafter. The two sat harmoniously sat together, doing the right thing. After telling her story, she realized that she should’ve advocated for herself earlier on—leaving the office, she proudly looked back at the principle before crossing through the doorframe that led to the commons. Turning forwards, she thought about how she would tell her story once more. She wanted to tell everyone, but she just didn’t know

    Melinda had several times through the year where if she had asked for help, her life would have drastically improved. An instant of such is near the beginning of the school year, where Melinda notices her friend Rachel in the bathroom. On page 21 the text reads, “I want to grab her by the neck and shake her and scream at her to stop treating me like dirt. She didn't even bother to find out the truth—what kind of friend is that?” No matter the attitude of Rachel, Melinda did not bother to communicate with Rachel, which prevented her from learning about what actually happened. If Melinda had spoken, she would have gained necessary emotional help from her friend, and it would have infinitely improved her condition during her freshman year.

    There I stayed for the remaining 20 minutes which managed to feel like hours. Finally, we pulled into the front of the school. Any relief in exiting The Bus left me quickly as I gazed upon Royalton High School once again. I had visited the institution over the last three years for my brothers’ wrestling matches, so it was vaguely familiar. After attending Open House the week prior, I became hesitant to approach since last time I had been assaulted by a large group of chatty girls. Only two people names were known to me in this large abyss of hormones, but I’d never meet either of

  • Summary Of The Sanctuary Of School By Linda Barry

    1557 Words  | 4 Pages

    Jones creates a fictional tale in which he describes the events that occurred on a little girl’s first day of school. To begin his essay, Jones uses vivid detail by having the girl describe the color of her clothes, the amount of time her mother spent on her hair, and what she ate on that particular morning. The girl suspects that something isn’t right when she doesn’t see any of her friends on the way to school that morning. The girl and her mother then arrive at Seaton Elementary School, which is where the mother wants her child to attend because it’s right across the street from the church they attend. When they enter the building, they are greeted by a woman who the girl explains by saying that “she acts as if she had known me all my life, touching her hand under my chin” (110). When this woman finds out that where the mother and daughter live she gives them the unfortunate news that they’re at the wrong school. After receiving this news, the girl describes something that she learned about her mother, saying that “the higher up on the scale of respectability a person is— and teachers are rather high up in her eyes— the less she is liable to let them push her around” (110). After these events, they arrive at the girl’s new school and start to register her. The mother soon has to admit her flaws—not being able to read and write— to another parent to ensure everything is done in the appropriate manner for her daughter. She pays the other parent fifty cents for helping her fill out the forms, and then her daughter is sent class. The mother is obviously shaken about leaving her daughter, and Jones concludes the essay by having the little girl describe being able to hear her mother’s footsteps over everything else that

    The night before, I didn’t practice my English so I knew what to say. By now, I knew most of the words, so I would just let my heart guide me. Besides, my cramped old house, which is actually just a junky garage in an abandoned alley, is too small to let out my feelings. Once I got to school after a cold walk in the snow, I placed myself by her locker and waited. Fourteen minutes had gone by, and still no sign of Lily. I only had a minute to get to class now, so I hurriedly collected myself and ran to my locker. I was disappointed, knowing that without Lily here, it would be the hardest day of school. I opened my locker and to my surprise a note fell to the floor. I quickly picked it up and gazed at the neat handwriting that clearly spelled my name.

My friend Alvin Almonte invited me to work in New York because he said job opportunities were much better here and that New York is much more accessible. I lost my immigration status in November 2011, while I was in Arizona. In my contract, I was assured that after three years (supposedly 2009-2012), the employer would apply for my Green Card. This was clearly not the case. I was working as a temporary hotel worker with an uncertain status. I started to work as buzzer in a restaurant in New York. Currently, I am working as caregiver for the elderly.

    “Let’s go ride our bikes!” proposes my dad, and my eyes light up with eager excitement. I stumble down the stairs and skip out to the garage. Instinctively I walk over to my glossy pink bike, standing in the corner, presiding over all the other inferior toys. No sooner have I done this than my dad lifts it out from under my nose and begins to strap the helpless hostage to the back of the car. “What are you doing?” I chirp with a quizzical expression on my face. “We’re going to ride somewhere else for a change.” Explains my dad.

His sapphire eyes drilled deep into my heart, and every nuance of his face became eternally etched into my mind. The tall, thin body stood out like a glistening jewel among the dull coal of the locker bay. Sensing my eyes burning deep into him, he turned around and said, "Ah, sorry. My bad."
