Exploring Our Adventurous Side
"He tied his boat off. and started to climb the cliffs. He knew that no one had lived to tell what was behind the cloud, but he still climbed.""On the way to the top i could not help but to think about how far up i was and how much of drop it would be if i made one wrong move. But this was what i wanted the rush of becoming close to death if not actually dying. yes it's crazy but i have my mind made up. If i was going to die anyway why not die in an exotic way in a way that i planned and controlled. I, Jacob Black, Will have climbed to the top of the tallest mountain in Fiji alone and unequipped. But only to jump to my death."
The climb was long and it gave him way too much Time to think about his past and his life. It made him think about how he'd dream about a little boy climbing a moutain alone and slipping with no one to catch him or even care about his death. It made him remember how he used to be in love with how high birds would fly but never fall. Jacob began to wonder if all of those visions and dreams were hints that this, him jumping, was meant to be.
Jacob's mind began to race, "Almost there, are you sure you want to Do this? Keep your head in the game of course you do no one cares if your here today or gone tomorrow. so for this reason you must leave. Your doing the right thing by ending your own life rather than living a life of suffering. Two more steps until you reach the top. Don't bail out now this is what you came for. Nobody wants you alive your own mother told you she wish she had aborted you. You have nothing to loose. Jump, jump, jump now!"
He let his body become weightless and let the wind do all of the work. His body fell gracefully, peacefully, and slowly. The impact alone should have killed him but if it didn't the waves pounding against the rocks did. His limp body floated away. It seemed like his soul had left his body way before he hit the water. Like it had flown away with the birds above. Jacob Black had successfully committed suicide, but no one ever noticed.

Symbolism
A few days ago i had the weirdest dream. It felt so real and it was vivid. That's what confused me it didnt feel like any of my other dreams. I saw myself from a completely different view. So I guess you could say I had an out of body experience.
It started off with me asleep dreaming about my life. But I was watching myself dream. When I woke up I did my daily routines, I went to school, came home, ect. it skipped to me getting into a argument with my mom and I was yelling at her and telling her how much I wished she would leave and how I didn't need her. She told me that she wasn't guaranteed to be here and that I would regret it one day. Sure enough i watched her being buried. I stood outside of my body with a face full of tears and a heart full of sorrow and regret. But my physical body remained emotionless.
I think that my dream was a warning. I think that i take life for-granted and that i believe that people such as: my friends, my family, and people in general are always going to be around and i have time to apologize and make things right. I think this dream allowed me to open my eyes and realize that i need to make things right when i have the chance. it showed me not to put off what i can do today for tomorrow because tomorrow is not guaranteed .
A piece that i read recently that contained a great deal of symbolism is To Kill A Mockingbird by harper lee. The main symbol in this book was the title because it has a deeper meaning behind it. The book is about innocence versus evil. the evil is how money and society starts to change people even though it goes against their beliefs or how they were brought up. The innocence which is the mockingbird, is how the characters are before they get wrapped up in society and money, it's how in the end the characters stand up for their family with dignity. So i do believe that symbolism is important and can bring out the true meaning of something in pictures, or fewer words.
