Death at First Sight
I remember us going to the Holy Cross cemetery and seeing a casket.There it was, the place where my grandpa would be buried. Days before that, I remember the doctor saying that he had lung cancer. I was sitting beside him and watching the heart monitor, and his heart rate was going down. The next day, we received a call at about 6:00 a.m. It was my aunt telling my mom that my grandpa just died. When my mom told me the news, I was shocked. I thought he would live a few more weeks. We got into the car and started driving. The ride there was quiet and depressing.When we got to grandpa’s house, our whole family was either quiet or crying. When i saw the body i broke down because i didn’t know how to deal with one of my family member being dead. The day before he died he said, “you could have my favorite pool stick, take care of it,” and I said “I will, and when I use it, I will always think of the good times we had together.” I remember the day he died, it was July,16,2011, a cloudy day. The day of the funeral came and I got my chance to see the casket, I felt a coldness through my body. When he was in the casket he had a black suite on and his hair was slicked back. After the casket viewing, they closed the casket. The whole family went into the other room to get food and drinks. In that room, there was a tv, and there was a video playing pictures of my grandpa. Later, the cemetery workers started to put dirt over the place that he would be buried. I remember the days that I will go to his house and play pool with him until it was dark. I felt really sad and it hurts so bad not seeing him anymore. I feel like I lost a piece of myself. When he was buried I couldn't interact with him anymore, but I know that his spirit is watching over me. This has left an impression that would stick with me forever.
For my mythology project we had to create a story so that we can read to the kids. Click view more button to look at my story outline. For English we had to make a speech for the districts that we are representing for the Hunger Games. Click Speech button to view. We had to make a podcast for Romeo and Juliet and it had to answer one of the questions that Regina gave us. With that being said we had to write an essay about the topic and we also had to relate it to romeo and juliet.
