The Rabbit

-

(A Hare in the Forest by Hans Hoffman)

How did you end up here? I never knew why the rabbit was in the forest. She knew she was going to be ripped apart, yet she stayed. She enjoyed sitting back as the wolf marched around and took over. The rabbit never opposed him, she never went against anyone. She was fast yet very fragile. We took good care of her. She was always there in that forest before we ever stepped foot, yet she never stopped us, nor greeted us when we came into that forest. She just went on her way. She was my friend. She was everyone's friend. She never journeyed far, just hopped over to us and sat down calmly to listen. I admired the rabbit. With her big ears, she managed to know every little secret, yet did not hold our weaknesses over us. She never tried to please like the fox did around all of us. No, the rabbit was the easing when we felt pain. She listened to us. She cared for all of us, she even cared for the wolf. That is why she stayed. That we would tear each other apart before we brought harm on the rabbit. Can you blame her? She was the smartest out of all of us. She knew how to pull strings. Unlike the wolf, she never did use us. Why did we want the rabbit? She wasn't the most beautiful, the strongest, or the most powerful. She was the feeling in our heart, the constant ticking in our brain, which made us want her more, because we knew she wasn't the best, but she was the pillow we fell on. The warmth that we all reached out for when climbed that cold mountain. We always wanted to be on the mountain, yet now looking down upon the forest, I wished I stayed with her. In the forest where we would roam together. I should have watched over the rabbit more carefully. I had to close my eyes and remember her as another sweet memory, because even though she was the rabbit, and she was the most intelligent of all of us, she was still an animal in the forest, and she too would get caught in the teeth of the wolf eventually.

Disclaimer: This post is going to contain spoilers to the show. I suggest finish the show before reading this or if you don't have any interest in watching the show than welcome?...I guess. My facebook has been blowing up with all the people talking about the new show to hit Netflix know as 13 Reasons Why , a story about a boy named Clay Jensen finding cassette tapes from a girl at his high school named Hannah Baker who recently killed herself. On the tapes, Hannah gives 13 reasons why she committed suicide. The show depicts heavy topics such as suicide, bullying, stalking, lying, sexual assault, and other issues that young people deal with in this age. Now I will admit that this show was difficult to get through. I would constantly yell at the television due to the frustration I would have for some of the characters and dialogue in the show. This blog post is going to be me breaking down parts of the show and how I felt about character development, story, and the messag

Dear Elizabeth

(Corn Poppy Kees Van Dongen) June 12th 2002 Dear Elizabeth, How have you been recently? I know it has been a while since I last talked to you. I can't believe it has really been almost three years since I saw you! I know we really didn't end on the best terms, but I am writing this letter to really catch up with you, because I still miss you as a friend and nothing more. I heard you moved to France a couple of months back. Mom told me that your parents are starting to come back to church and we found out through them. Just to make it clear, they were just informing us in passing, I wasn't trying to be a creep and asking about you or anything in that nature. I am glad your parents don't seem to hate me like they did before. They miss you a lot and hope you would find a college back in the states. I am doing okay in case you were wondering. I am still an art major in college and I should be finishing up by next fall. I heard five years is the new four years a
