Family Creative Writings Samples For Students

Can you imagine living in a girls-only family? I mean a family that has only girls, no boys. I surely cannot! Firstly, the sight of many kids makes me feel anxious. I can imagine a house where when one kid cries and other kids follow pursuit. In addition, girls are more likely to cry a lot more than boys. I feel terrified just thinking of living under such circumstances. Pamela Vitela is a woman who lives in this kind of a Mexican family, and she is the eldest girl in her family. Why did I say she is a woman? Because she is already 18 years ...

In recent debate, there have been questions raised as to whether the juvenile justice system is too lenient, allowing juvenile offenders to repeat grave criminal offenses and get away with them, citing little to no parental guidance. Some individuals, and institutions alike, have been advocating for the instituting of dramatic measures such as the revocation of parental rights, removal of children from the home, and even forced sterilization of parents convicted of felony abuse or neglect. However, I do not believe such measures would work to mitigate and/or eradicate cases of juvenile delinquency.

While dramatic and stringent measures may ...

1) Discuss some of the mythic and ritual elements, and the logical, rhetorical, and ethical aspects of Oedipus the King. Think about how Oedipus proposes to purge the city of the murder-pollution, the key arguments between Oedipus, Tiresius, and Creon, and the arguments Oedipus made to himself and acted upon to defeat the prophecy, the rhetorical device of irony that permeates the play, and the ethics of everyone's actions, the family members and others involved in the tragedy.

According to the traditional interpretations of classical drama, Oedipus the King was brought down by the gods or fate because ...

Very often when people find themselves in a tight corner they think that somebody is punishing them for their faults, and that the ‘black bar’ in their life will never come to an end. Nonetheless, each and every one of us should recall a saying “Every cloud has a silver lining”, which proves that even the worst misfortune either makes us stronger or gives us an invaluable experience, which does not but gives us strength to move on.
At first glance the story I am about to tell seems to be a jape, as the whole day, from the very beginning, went ...

Personal Nursing Vision

Personal Nursing Vision

Growing up, I never though I would be a nurse but I had a passion for helping people. When I was 12, my elder brother had an accident and I was amazed by how the nurses in the ER did not care about what he ha done to land in the ER but concentrated on giving him the best care. My interest in nursing grew further when I saw nurses visiting him at home when he was recovering. My next turning point was in high school when a Family Nurse Practitioner was invited to give us a talk. I was ...

Today is a modern world full of fast-paced technology and inventions designed to make our lives easier. We live in a futuristic time that is built to suit our every need and whim. Despite these luxuries, there are still many aspects of our society that have yet to catch up to modern times. Many of these aspects concern the differences in gender, specifically in how one gender is treated worse or differently than the other in particular areas of society. This stigmatization is archaic and unfair to both genders. I recognize many things that need to change and if the power ...

She meowed and meowed asking these questions, but no one seemed to answer. Finally, the car came to a stop. This was the moment all those questions would be answered. As the door opened and her crate was lifted, the cat shivered with fear. What was waiting on the other side of that door?
Immediately, her crate door was bombarded by a large, ...

Using Formatting to Portray Mental Illness in The Yellow Wallpaper

The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman takes the reader through the first-hand experiences of the narrator's bed rest following the birth of a child. Gilman uses a variety of methods to convey the mental anguish the narrator is experiencing and one of these methods is the use of shorter paragraphs. By utilizing this format, the reader develops a great sense for the racing thoughts the narrator is experiencing as she is left alone in her room for an extended period of time. The fragmented thoughts provide a sense of urgency and unrest that may otherwise be more difficult for the reader to ...

Chivalry is one of the most important characteristics that define a man. The manner in which a boy treats a girl is one of the most important aspects of how he is as a person. Nevertheless, as this is not the essence of the contemporary model of masculinity, most men do not present this characteristic, and those that do, usually have it because of their upbringing. In my case, my father taught me that chivalry is essential for a man; my mother showed me how important it is to treat a lady and scolded me harshly when expectations were not met. While many people may ...

1. The goal of direct guidance strategy is to produce desired behavioral change. Children require guidance in day-to-day life in order to produce a given behavior. This habit is important in shaping the behavior of the child.
2. Some of the effective ways to provide verbal guidance include the use of general or simple terms to express a serious issue. The early childhood teacher should speak in a relaxed tone. Children are sensitive to the loud voice and may respond to it by speaking louder (Miller, 2012). Lastly, the counselor should use statements that encourage children. Positive statements make children respond ...

Infants reach several milestones from the very moment they are born up to the age of one year. During this time, babies change with regard to their reaction to everything around them and each day unique growth and development is noticeable (Martin 2008). It is imperative to not that each individual baby reach their milestones in their own unique way and at their own pace. Many of the milestones that they reach cut across and do not vary greatly (Meggitt 2006). There is a child I have seen grow and develop from one stage to another reaching these milestones just ...

Every workplace has some aspects of culture such as language, design, products, or social attributes. Largely, the cultural aspects influence the nature of an interaction we experience in the workplace. Typically, the culture is built on such factors as dressing codes, eating habits, language of communication, religious practices, and social interactions and so on.

Leaning against a fashionable chair in one of the greatest hotels in the states was Mary Johnson.

Women have always been treated unequally. Often, they are viewed as intellectually inferior, which is why women performed domestic chores while heavy labor and decision making were often given to men. They were not allowed to vote and kept from acquiring education, among others. Following is a conversation between staunch supporters of women’s causes in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Nice and peaceful. Just the way I like it.
I set the shovel to one side and wiped the sweat from my brow. I will just wash away the traces of dirt that smeared by face as the mud-stricken gloves accidentally brushed my flushed cheeks. I looked around one more time just to make sure that nobody saw me. At 3:00 am on a cold October dusk, I could never be sure. Teenagers nowadays stay awake nibbling on their laptops. It was hard work but well worth it, considering the consequences of not doing it. My hand reached for ...

Neal walked out of the house and ambled slowly toward his car. He gazed at the sidewalk and recalled happier days, a time when he and his ex-girlfriend were still together. Neal and Kristine had separated months earlier. Kristine’s actions made it very clear that she no longer wanted him in her life. For Neal, this was the greatest shock he had ever experienced. Kristine was not only beautiful– she was courageous and hard working. These unrivaled qualities were what made Neal love her. What made it so difficult was that he was certain they would always be together.

I would like to begin by first thanking every single one of you for joining me in this celebration tonight. The best moments in life are really only the best when you have people to share them with, and I wouldn’t feel what I’m feeling right now if it weren’t for all you looking back at me, with hearts so generously offering endless amounts of praise, love and support. We spend so much of our time trying to make something of ourselves and leave a print on this world, but it’s times like these when I ...

Question 1: “TV People”

Question 2: “My World of the Unknown”
In Rifaat’s story, the biggest challenge that the audience meets is the ability to deduce meaning for the morals behind using the snake (jinni) as a coach for sexual pleasure. While the woman in the story plays an innocence character, the audience cannot still ascertain how an adult with whose cognitive capabilities are not in doubt can ascent to the fantasies that accompany the snake without informing the husband how she relates with the snake. For western readers the story could explain the structure of relationships in Eastern families and what ...

Cultural diffusion and interaction is one of the conspicuous phenomenons that have characterized the world in the post-colonial era. However, the world has seemingly been inclined towards the Western culture. Salaman Rushdie is arguably one of the celebrated post-colonial writers who have managed to capture this phenomenon through his novella-“East, West”. Chekov and Zulu is one of the intriguing stories in the novella that satirically or rather, humorously demystifies how the Western culture has diffused into the Eastern world. The underlying story of how Chekov and Zulu are fascinated and affected by the Western culture in Britain exemplifies ...

“Careful dear,” my mother lovingly caressed my hair as I bumped into her while frantically running upstairs on my way to the roof top. I would be nine years old tomorrow and she still treats me as if I am a three. I didn’t in the least like her gestures of love. ”Why can’t she just keep her hands off me? Why on earth she has to make a show of it every damn time I am near her? Just the thought of her touching me makes me puke,” angrily I mused as I continued to run upstairs. I ...

My First Love
It was a cold evening. The leaves were rustling. It was getting dark outside and even the birds seemed to be in a hurry to fly home. The streets were empty except for one forlorn figure. She was nicely dressed up in a buttoned up woolen coat but her whole demeanor right from the eyes to sagging shoulders spoke of profound sadness and heavy burdens. She was an unusually beautiful girl with striking green eyes and long beautiful hair. She did not seem to be in a hurry at all. In fact, she was dragging her feet as if ...

The best example of family and consumer conscience one can learn from the movie ‘Fireproof’ released in 2008. The movie gives an understanding of the equation that suggests that needs and intentional resources are equal to the enlargement of the conversation.

The Seagull by Anton Chekhov and “Chekhov for Children” by Philip Lopate.

Chekhov's The Seagull is known to reject the conventional dramatic subjects that dominated the theater at that time. The intensely dramatic events are not seen on stage, and The Seagull brought about a fundamental change in not only how the plays were written but also how they were acted. Chekhov for Children by celebrated writer Phillip Lopate is an inspiring reflection about his experience with the child actors and how he teaches them. This is an assessment of the nature of childhood and evokes the question as to how does one demarcate between experimentation and self-indulgence. The choices made by ...

Tennyson's poem “Ulysses” combines the Dante’s and Homer’s story of the king Ulysses or Odysseus story to create a long monologue that Ulysses gives detailing his boredom at being in Ithaca, and his desire to return to the adventurous life he lived before. Many critics declare that Tennyson's poem reflects his personal desire to overcome the death of his best friend, Hallam. In fact, Tennyson wanted to keep on living his life with all the negative and positive changes that mirrored the life of Ulysses. Ideally, “Ulysses” is a dramatic monologue that includes the persona’s critical situation that ...

Felicia sat on the steps of her apartment building, bouncing a small yellow ball. It was dark out, only the dim light from the hallway behind her lighted the street.

The vibration was almost soothing; she watched the car run a red light almost wistfully. It was late at night; it must be nice to somewhere to go.
