A Sample Blog - Grade 10MY LITTLE BOY by Rizan He was elated one afternoon, a gentle smile caressing his petite face. He handed me a report card, so animated with A’s and B’s it seemed to have an aura. I wasn’t reluctant in giving him an encouraging gesture, a “high-‐Bive” to show my content. A pride enveloped me, a revelation, a possibility that this insufferable, indomitable cloud following my boy would soon disappear into the promise ahead. He ran upstairs and I began to cook our dinner. It wasn’t long before I hastily organized our kitchen table with poorly prepared porcelain plates and plastic placemats. The cutlery and cups were put to ease from my tight grasp soon after the searing of my skin forced me to drop the serving dish onto the table vigorously. I called my son from the kitchen, trying to notify him that supper was ready; no response. My daughter’s silhouette came into perspective and I addressed her, instructing her to call her brother. She ran upstairs, her hands colliding with the steps proceeding her feet in childish fashion. My fragile daughter prolonged the wait. She restrained from responding; her words climbed up her throat and clung to the sides of her esophagus so she couldn’t speak. I stormed the stairs of my apartment reaching the second Bloor and tracing the steps of my 10-‐year-‐old daughter; I was appalled.
My timid little boy, a victim of ignorance. The martyr of malice corroded his spirit and ushered him into sinister solitude. Enveloped in oppression, my son would come crying. With his head to my chest, I felt the tears dampen my sweater. He was scared; he struggled to keep his peace. He was the scapegoat of slurs, which cut deeper than the blade and the threats punctured his self-‐esteem leaving him amidst paranoia. It wasn’t inconspicuous and I should’ve known. That day he woke up without an appetite, rather fear in his belly; however, my little boy packed his things and strolled to school on April 16 of 2009. There had been several instances where I had to confront the administration, their lack of attentiveness was my concern. I tried-‐ oh so dearly-‐ but it wasn’t sufBicient.
My apartment door has become a shrine and my heart hosts guilt’s assault. What was he to do? He was lost and couldn’t Bind himself, however, I did. Hanging from the ceiling amidst his room’s closet, my son succumbed to the pressure of the world as well as the strangle of his belt. Should he? At the tender age of 11, my little boy Jaheem Herrara took his life because he was bullied.

Takaiden says: Rizan, Every time I read one of your pieces I feel something. Amazement, fear, pain, excitement, and also envy; I wish I could create such a vivid and explicit picture when I write. You have this quality in your pieces that make it so disgustingly beautiful, by that I mean you can take such an awful topic and make it beautiful in an artistic sense. I love your use of thesaurus words because when we, as writers, neglect to use words that make you think it makes our pieces feel unfulfilled, but you’ve managed to capture my attention with every sentence. Great work Rizan I look forward to reading more of your writing.

Jessica says: By the end of this, my jaw dropped and my eyes were full of tears. I can’t explain how outstanding this piece is. I have never felt this close to someone’s writing before, wow. You did a marvelous job of making us aware of how much bullying can affect someone. Your vocabulary made your work even more worth of praising. Keep up the amazing job; your writing inspires me!
