my grandfather. ..

"At the time your grandmother was pregnant with me. Your grandfather was poor and his father was dying. He did not have much time to live, so he had to do it. Go beyond those clouds and onto that cliff to find the cure for his father's sickness before it was too late. He had about 2 months to find that special plant that would make his father better and live. Your greatgrandmother & grandmother could not stomach the thought of him even thinking about such a thin, especially with a baby on the way. He did not care, he loved his father more than anything and he would do whatever it was for him to survive. He brought water with him & the little bit of food he could carry in his small duffle bag with him to the cliffs. He tied his boat off and started to climb the cliffs. He knew that no one lived to tell what was behind the cloud, but he still climbed. For the sake of his father, he climbed, and climbed, and climbed. For 12 hours; breaks in between but very little and very short. He saw skeletons of bodies that were who knows how many years old but he never got discouraged once. He finally made it. His light borown hair had been ruffled, his clothes ripped, skin peeling. Dirt & blood covered them & his green eyes were burning red due to lack of rest. He had expected for the peak to be opaque just like half the cliffs. But it wasn't.. it was so green, so beautiful, so alive, booming with life. He walked over to a freshwater lake & drank from it. The water was delicious, completely transparent. Everything was perfect there. He walked for a very long time before he heard anything else other than chirping and other animal noises. The voice said "William Micheal Sonenclair, we've been awaiting your arrival" he walked towards the big voices until he saw 3 men dressed in white. They told him that they knew about his hardships & his father & his journey there. They told him that he had to find the special plant because even they didn't know where it was. But they gave him a plant. A special plant, it was beautiful. The men told your grandfather that the sicker his father gets, the more the plant would die. When the plants dies completely, so does his father. But first they got him clean up & got some food in his system before he carried on. There was houses in which he could stay at while he searched at just in case he got tired or hungry he could go there. He asked them "why was it that I was the only one who could make it up here? It was hard but not completely toture. The men said it was because he came up there for someone other than himself. He didn't to it to be selfish like the rest of the men who had came. He searched for weeks, he knew he couldn't give up on his father. The more the plant deteriorated, the harder he worked to find that special plant. One month passed & nothing. The flower only got worse. 2 weeks before the day his father was due to die, he found the plant. He ran to the men in white and told them. By then the flower was almost dead. He got to the ground, back into his boat, and back to his villiage before the plant died completely. I was born by then & that just made him happier. His dad didn't die until God felt like it was time. Your grandfather was a very brave man. He became one of the the wealthiest man in the state. He was strong for me, his father, his mother & for your greatgrandmother. So be strong for him"
My name is William Micheal Sonenclair V and I am the grandson of legendary William Micheal Sonenclair III. My grandfather died. My dad told me that story the night before my grandfather was due to die. I will pass it on to my son & he will pass it on to his. Idon't really remember my grandfather since I was only 4 or 5 when he died. I have a few pictures but that's all. You know what its not.. I have his name, his success, his bravery & his green eyes. I love that man more than anything in the world.. just like he love his dad. I'm happy he climbed those cliffs. Nobody ever climbed them again, but I will.

What does my dreams mean?

When I was younger, and for some reason I will never forget this dream, I was about 5 when I had it. My family and I were sitting inside of our patio talking, I was the only one facing towards the backyard where the pool was and there was a random snowman on the ladder of the pool (it was the middle of the summer btw.). When I looked at the snowman it turned evil & it really scared the mess out of me but when I told my family to look at it, it was normal. Nobody paid any attention to me. This happened over & over throughout the dream. Then, out of nowhere I was in a car & there was no driver, the snowman was following me in a separate car. But that's all I remember, I told everybody in my family about this dream because I was so scared. I'm not really sure what the dream meant at all, I kind of have a clue, though. Dreams about family gatherings usually represents security, warmth and love. It could also symbolize bitterness, jealousy, or more. Now that I actually think about it, I was the youngest of all the grandchildren and nieces & I got more attention than anyone else. It was kind of weird that I hardly got any attention in this dream because I got so much in reality. My mom was pregnant with my little brother at the time, about 8 months. When he was born all of the attention shifted to him. Where the snowman came from chasing me in a car without a driver, I don't know. Just like a mood ring or necklace, literature also uses colors to symbolize various different meanings. In Romeo and Juliet, when Friar Lawrence is talking to Romeo about the poison, he says something about poison not only intended for evil purposes. Poison symbolizes how society tends to take something that is beneficial and use it in a way that is harmful or deadly. The feud between the Montague’s and the Capulet’s itself is an example of this. The hate between the two families turns the love between Romeo and Juliet into something that is deadly. He says that when humans get their hands on something good, they can turn it bad, which is what they did between the love of Romeo and Juliet.
