When I'm Old and Grey and Can't Partay!!!!

Hey fellow bloggers, how are we doing today? Today I am taking on the task of summing up what my grandchildren will think of me when I am old. What will my identity legacy be?

As I grow older I am constantly thinking about what I will be, who I will become, and what mark I will leave on the world. This is why when I grow old I want to remembered as being bubbly and fun. I will try to do my best at everything I do, but also will live life in the moment. I will try not to let things drag me down and put me in a bad mood. Just saying the word "yes" makes you smile and I hope that one day I can make myself smile as well as everyone I encounter. I think the laugh of someone is the greatest thing you can get from them because it spreads joy everywhere. I want to plant the seed of laughter, joy, and happiness and make everyone around me ecstatic. 


I also want to be remembered for the things I hope to accomplish in my life. I have high goals and hopes for myself and I hope one day I will be remembered by these dreams. I love soccer, horseback riding, and school. I want to be known as a great athlete who accomplished great feats. I hope my grandchildren can look up to me for advice when they play there first soccer game. I hope and dream to be in the olympics, go to a great college, and live a life that makes me happy. I try so hard at everything I do and it would be a great honor if I could be remembered for it. I do all these things for myself as well as my family, so I hope they remember me and my legacy that I have left for them! So, if one day my grandchildren reads this I love you and I hope I left you with a great identity of myself that will make you smile everyday!!!


Your fellow friend, 
Julia

"The Waxwork"


In "The Waxwork" by A.M. Barrage, the protagonists Raymond Hewson is on a quest to spend the night in the Murderer's den at Marriner's Waxworks. The reward of spending the night in den is five pounds of money. Hewson does not want to do this grueling task, but he desperately needs the money for his family. As Hewson sits in the dark and dingy den the wax figures stare him down from all sides making him nervous. There is one wax figure in particular that gives him the creeps, Mr. Bourdettte. A small Frenchman who slashes people's necks and is the only murderer that was not hung. Hewson begins to hallucinate as Mr. Bourdette steps off his pedestal and walks towards him. Hewson is in pure fear and shock as Mr. Bourdette threatens to slash his throat, but it seems that the fear has already beat him to it. Hewson was found cold and dead in the Murderer's den without a single cut on him. Writers are very imaginative and some are so imaginative it can even kill them. 

As Hewson sits there in the den he is nervous, frightened, and absolutely terrified. Hewson is very uncomfortable and wants to leave, but he can't because he needs the money to support his family. He is trying to tough it out to prove to himself that he is not an unsuccessful, worthless man. As the wax figures stare him down he starts to tremble, his heart is racing, and he believes that the figures move each time he looks away. He is in disbelief of what is happening and is starting to see things. In this situation I believe that I would have done the same exact thing as Hewson did, I would have just left earlier. I understand that he needs the money very desperately, but he can find other ways to get it. I would have been in pure shock as well, but when i reached the point where i was about to break I would have left. Supporting your family is very important but if you die trying to support them that will not help them in any way.
