Symbolism

As Annie looks into the mirror, past her bruises and scars, she admires her neck. Her neck, the one place that holds the last memories of true freedom. Annie stares into the gold eagle charm dangling, imagining the eagle flying freely. She remembers when her mother gave it to her when was just a young girl. Annie immediately fills with remorse for her mother and what she went through, Annie now living it.

Annie hears a loud shout from across the house, snapping her back into reality. She steps out from the bathroom and comes face to face with him. She scans his body hoping none of the usual weapons are in sight. Their eyes meet, locked with a stone cold glare. Suddenly, Annie feels a pull on her neck, as he rips the eagle from her. "Dad!", she yells, feeling that last bit of freedom ripped right from her.

Symbolism: Her eagle necklace, given to her from her deceased mother, represents freedom from her abusive father.

My Blog

Hey! I'm Landry and this is my blog. Through writing this blog, I hope to gain more strength in my writing and the ability to write faster. I think can achieve this based on how much time I focus on my blog and how many entires I write. I hope to be able to write the required amount and for that to be easy for me. I appreciate being able to write these blogs. I like writing these blogs much better than having more big essays. These blogs essentially replace two or so large papers. For me, it is much easier to write these short blog posts about different topics than writing large essays about one. Finally, I like how I have access to other classmates' blogs to see what they have written about and even give them compliments on their writing.

How has traveling affected you?

Traveling is something that almost everyone experiences. Wether traveling to another city, state, or even continent, you can experience or learn something new from it. I have been lucky enough to travel pretty often with my family or even alone. My family loves to travel and could do it all the time if possible. Unfortunately, my sister and I typically have a lot of commitments to sports, etc. that prevent us from traveling too often. However, we almost always travel over breaks such as Mardi Gras break, Christmas break, and Thanksgiving break. Up until last year, I had always traveled with my family or friends and had only been around the states. This changed last summer when I decided to travel to Maui, Hawaii alone! Now you're probably thinking how did I travel alone, and I wasn't completely alone. I traveled to Hawaii for a camp with boys and girls around my age from around the world. Going into this I was extremely excited to get to experience a new state I had dreamed a...
