MISSING- Adia's childhood

 Dust.
What is left behind the steel gates
Of my memory from ages 1 to 4.

At times in full of regret for this 
Others i'm thankful.

What I do remember is not 
what I would like to
But I guess it's better than nothing.

Then I remember walking down the street
I remember getting dressed in the morning for the baby sitters
While everyone else goes to school and work
And I guess I stay there.

Then I remember kindergarten
What a leap
I remember the first day of school
I remember "graduation" 
But I guess I there was something in between.

Then I remember in the fourth grade
Broadway Junior.
The massacre of my shell
Though it was a small part
I guess it was better then no part at all.

I don't know what happened.

I don't understand what happened.

But know that something did happen.

And I'm grateful for that.

Lets talk about theme..



World. War. Z.
Lets all take a wild guess and think about what the theme is... Violence.
There is nothing else to this book. It consists of multiple people, many of whom are famous scientists or just regular bystanders who've made it through some of the worst parts of the world during the war. In every story there are very detailed fights or murders or attacks, and those are violent words aswell. In case you don't know World War Z was a fictional zombie war. The concept of what it is called gives away right away the basic line of what the story is going to tell.




On another note, I am aware that my response is very short, but with my sisters weddin approaching I have not been home for a solid hour unless I am doin something in relation to this hectic event.

I am aware this is late. i typed this, this morning and I guess I forgot to press publish. I am at fault.
