A promise to be forgotten They fell deeply in love in the summer of 1950 at the ages of seventeen. They married the next year. Then the years after were completely and utterly peaceful. Then the war broke them apart. Her name was Katherine. His name was Henry Daley.
Katherine saw her beloved, Gunnery Sergeant, gather on the train with hundreds of others in the same uniform. The last ties of their love cut by the distance that soon separated them by the steam engine. The lovers eyes kissed one last time, soaking in their last appearance (Personification). “I promise, I will come back to you, my love.” he echoed in the train aisle as he took his seat. “Please come back to me, my beloved.” she pleaded to the crisp and empty air. Then and there she decided that she would come back to the very park bench they sat before he was ripped from her arms. The days turned into weeks. He promised he would come back. The weeks turned into months. He promised he would come back. The months turned into a year. He promised he would come back. It had been years; she was starting to lose hope (Colons when 2nd clause explains the first). She missed him with all her of her being. The echo of his promise whispered in her year everyday as a reminder. ‘I promise, I promise you, my love’ was heard every second. She sat on the old wooden bench like she did every day in the train station. Her once carmel hair now silver streaked. She still waited for him to come back. He promised to come back to her. A train rolled into the station. It was white and could be cut out of marble. A man got off the train in the dashing uniform she always loved. All the years of waiting came to a close. She ran to him. He wrapped his arms around her small frame and swung her around in a circle. He breathed in her smell. He finally set her down and brushed her carmel locks out of her face. He kissed those full red lips he missed for the years they had been separated. “You came back, my love.” she hiccuped (Comma in Dialogue). “I would never break my promise to you.” he chuckled. Justification Paragraph: I believe that the piece I wrote is a justification of Kurt Vonnegut’s A Walk To Forever. I had a repeating phrase throughout the entire story. The story had a repeating phrase throughout the story. The example from the story is ‘He promised to come back to her’. The theme of his piece of writing, A Walk To Forever, was about if one stays determined then it will come together in the end. I kept the same theme throughout my piece I imitated. I kept the dialogue to the point and short. An example is “You came back, my love.” she hiccuped”. Also, I used commas in dialogue. Vonnegut used it quite a lot in his piece.
