Reviews for People Die
melodicmusings chapter 1 . 10/28/2010
This was beautifully written, so real, and so moving. We're studying George Orwell's essays in class, and this piece reminded me of his style, the whole 'exposing a truth' and 'convincing the reader through personal experience.' :D

This essay made me sad, but at the same time interested me. I know what it feels like to lose someone special.

When I was seven my best friend Conner got hurt while he was on vacation, went into a coma, and died a year after he woke up... without a memory. The only things he remembered was his older sister and my name, but he hardly knew me anymore.

After he died I refused to have friends until the fifth grade, when I realized I was a social outcast. But relationships have never been the same to me since, and have always been harder.

But again, Great essay.

Typos: tight, low cut shits. Shirts, I suppose? Still, made me laugh lol. ;) out on Malibu pink lipstick. I believe you meant put?

I loved this though. Flawless flow of the story, great details, great writing simply. Excellent job.

I'm sorry... And you're right. Many people do take their life for granted. It just isn't right. People in your school must be unsympathetic or something if they'd make a joke out of it. How could they?

extremely well written...and extremely sad ( Death is very hard to deal with..three of my good friend's parents died. One was of Lukemia, one was in a fire, and the other was of breast cancer. This was so sad I cried (

Never forget the ones that died.

This is so well written. I feel bad for every one in this but especially you. Sometimes we may never know why one killed themselves. My sister has a friend who's father committed suicide right in front of my sister and her friends. It was really traumatic for every one.I hope that writing this was some sort of a helpful release.
V. Sagara chapter 1 . 7/2/2005
I loved this. It hit what I would normally call 'too close to home'. But this was different... Seventh grade...
Paige Madison chapter 1 . 6/20/2005
I liked this, not only because of the message of never wanting to forget, or be forgotten, but also because I sensed it came from your heart. I don't think there's anything better than that. nice job

i cant really relate to this, but in a weird way i am-ish...this made me cry,it must of been hard to write about it...
Nirat chapter 1 . 5/3/2005
I know what that feels like, or something really close to it anyway. 2 of my friends have tried to commit suicide multible times, and I dread if the day comes where one of them actually succeeds. Like you, I keep in mind who not to forget. I hope life gets better for you.

Sincerely,~ TLC

WarriorHeart chapter 1 . 4/21/2005
This was really interesting and sad. The closest I have come to a real type of death was during my eigth grade year. There was this know-it-all boy, who always was so obnoxious to the rest of us... we didn't understand why at all. He was having family problems, his parents involved in a bitter and violent divorce and custody battle; his mother even had a restraining order against his father. One Sunday, the father came to their church where the mom was a pastor, and he shot her in the parking lot (killing her), and then shot proceed to kill himself. I will never forget coming to school the next day. Everyone was a mess, and the boy was never-ever the same. The only thing I am glad to remember is that the kids in our school were so supportive, and noone made it into a joke.

Keep those memories alive!

So sorry to hear about this story-My good friend committed suicide 1 year and 4 months ago-so I know what its like to loose someone. It's really personal and really hard to deal with-I am also sorry to hear that no one was there for you when your friend died-the same things happened to me- .com is Alex's website if you would like to check it out. /peace/
