Personal narrative writing about a sad experience you had (trouble) and how did you feel about it.
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

It amazes me how we may take others for granted. We didn't consider it. What would life be without them? We merely planned for tomorrow. Don't second guess how quickly such plans might vanish. No way! I considered it.

I awoke early one morning for school. I was ecstatic because my first pep rally was in middle school. We had to wear red and white to school. School spirit. I had ironed my clothing the night before. I've never done it. But on this particular school day, I wanted everything to be flawless. perfect. I was ready for school by 7 a.m., and school started two hours later.

I waited anxiously for my mother to call, and she eventually did. I believed she was taking me to school. As we went along, I realized my mother wasn't taking me to school as usual. I eventually saw we were near my godmother's. "I mistook you for a school bus," I remarked, seeing it was 7:45 a.m. My mother was silent. She just stopped the car and walked inside. I trailed behind. My family was gathering at my living room window for my grandmother's lounge. I sensed something was wrong right away. Only when you can plan a funeral for my complete family.

"Why don't you go sit with your cousins?" Mom said. I sat there. His pain-filled gaze scanned the room. I sat back, feeling the My throat was getting lumpy, and my tears were starting to burn my eyelids. No one needed to speak up! Everyone's wounded looks told me all I needed to know. I felt sad. If I was paralyzed, my throat would have closed. I couldn't see that. The person I most adored, apart from my mother, would be gone.

The funeral was a week later. My life's longest day. I feared it. I watched the casket descend. I heard family and friends murmur. "It'll be OK in time." I thought, "Why can't things be okay? She never is. I'm back! No! " The next few months were busy. My family suffered greatly. My godmother died. Sure, our family has lost numerous members. But no. One who was very close to us. Sure, many members of our family have died, but their fatalities were fewer.

My godmother shaped my life. I know if she saw me, she'd be proud today. I pause and think if she was proud? Will she agree? "I do my best to be close to my family. because you never know when someone's last day will be.

Which of the following events in Hamlet is an example of dramatic irony? Select all that apply. the appearance of the Ghost to H
kaheart [24]
<span>The Ghost reveals to Hamlet that he was poisoned to death by Claudius who spread the rumor that he died of snake bite which is believed to be true by everyone in Denmark so that's one. Hamlet's character is very complex and his erratic behavior confuses his friends when he</span><span> wants to kill Claudius, but he wants to be sure Claudius will suffer. So with that in mind, I think Hamlet sparing Claudius would be another. These are the best I could come up with so I hope these help.
