It all started one day that Blair felt this excruciating pain in the lower area of her stomach. She did not know what to do, so she just sat there and waited for it to pass, it finally did. Once the pain was gone Blair went to her mom to tell her what had happened and her mom said it was probably just cramping because it was normal for a teenager to have that. Well the pain came back and it was just a pattern of it coming and going, so Blair’s mom made a doctor’s appointment with their physician, Dr. Bass. Blair finally got to the doctor and she thought it could be cramping too, but just in case it was not she took some test. Dr. Bass did blood work and took stool samples make sure everything was okay in Blair’s system, it was not. Dr. Bass called Blair a few days later and said that she had a parasite called Cryptosporidium. Blair was happy she found out what was wrong with her and prescribed Blair some medicine to kill the parasite. Once again Blair was let down because the medicine did not work, so Dr. Bass had to prescribe a stronger medicine and it worked. After a few days of no pain Blair was in class when all of a sudden it happened again, the pain was back. Blair tried to stay calm and went to the bathroom. Luckily Blair’s mom works at the school she goes to so she was excused to go talk to her mother, Mrs. Waldorf. Blair explained to her mom that the pain was back and her mom immediately called Dr. Bass and seemed confused on why the pain was back. Dr. Bass told Mrs. Waldorf that Blair should get a barium swallow to see what was happening inside Blair. Blair drank the barium swallow liquid and it was the worst thing she ever had ever tasted. It was a pink goopy liquid that looked like it had pop rocks in the b...

The trouble started when she called her mother to leave a party early. Jodee begged her mother not tell what was going on with the twelve year olds—but they were all caught in the act. Monday morning at school she found her favorite suede shoes floating in a toilet bowl of urine with a note attached—“Bitch, this is just the beginning.” She was cruelly treated, spit at, beaten, and shunned on a daily basis.

In her short story “The Last Day in the Field” Gordon portrays Aleck as the typical elderly gentleman, whose leg due to age begins to pain. Even with his leg pain, on the last day of the hunting season, Aleck goes hunting with Joe, a younger gentleman, whom Aleck feels compelled to treat as a son. Throughout the hunt the knowledge Aleck gives to Joe is not as valuable as the life lessons he is unintentionally teaching through his actions. In “the Last Day in the Field”, Caroline Gordon uses language to reveal her natural tone about relationships.
Kate Chopin is very well known for her extremely unique writing. Not only are her works striking of feminism, but the way she approached topics were not easily tolerated at that time especially for her gender. Many of her stories tie into marriage and the unhappiness that it brings. In Desiree’s Baby Chopin says, “And the very spirit of Satan seemed suddenly to take hold of him…” Comparing the woman’s husband to that of Satan shows the intensity of disgust between the two in the relationship. Strong statements such as these are often seen in “The Storm” and “The Story of an Hour.” In Chopin’s life she was married, and her stories lead me to believe that she viewed her marriage as a trap and suffered from lack of privacy and control. Despite how provoking Chopin’s works were she was long ignored by readers and critics until her stories hit the surface in the 1960’s and became more popular. The women in her stories are constantly seeking freedom, lust, and attention.

My mom finally dragged me out of bed. I trudged into the bathroom and then brushed my teeth and got dressed. ‘’Well look who got up.’’ my grandma yelled. My sister ruffled my hair. ‘’Hey bro.’’ my sister said sitting down for breakfast. I went and joined her. “Do you want cereal or french toast?” asked my grandma. “I’ll have cereal please.” I said.

"There is much pain that is quite noiseless; and that make human agonies are often a mere whisper in the of hurrying existence. There are glances of hatred that stab and raise no cry of murder; robberies that leave man of woman for ever beggared of peace and joy, yet kept secret by the sufferer-committed to no sound except that of low moans in the night, seen in no writing except that made on the face by the slow months of suppressed anguish and early morning tears. Many an inherited sorrow that has marred a life has been breathed into no human ear." George Eliot (1819-80), English novelist,editor. Felis Holt, the Radical, Introduction (1866).What is pain? In the American Heritage Dictionary, pain is referred to as "an unpleasant sensation occurring in varying degrees of severity as a consequence of injury, disease, or emotional disorder." The word is rooted in Middle English, from an Old French piene, from Latin poena, meaning "penalty or pain", and from Greek pointe, meaning "penalty." Pain is a very realistic problem that many individuals face daily.
