We are who we pretend to be, so we must be careful who we pretend to be – Kurt Vonnegut“Theme- a topic of speech, discussion, meditation, or composition; topic (Dictionary.com).” A theme is something that makes up a huge and important part of a story – it gives the story an identity. A theme holds the whole story together, and the theme that holds my story together is Whirlwind of Emotions. My life is full of ups and downs, so there is no one emotion that rules my life. These emotions come at unpredictable times and consequently affect everyone around me in a negative or positive way. There are five main emotions that sometimes hit me randomly: contemplative, stressed, ambitious, manic, and hopeful, and there are five different sources that represent each of the emotions in my life and chart. “I am a completely different person when I am contemplative. I feel more enlightened (Couldridge 2014).” According to Dictionary.com, contemplative means “thoughtful observation”. I am more aware of events happening around me, in a positive way. I feel like I can accomplish anything if I really try my best I am at religious services, when I can look within and feel enlightened. “I am at pure peace (Couldridge 2014).” I act like a completely different person when I'm contemplative; I'm calmer and able to do a lot more things than if I were stressed. I can do a lot of things faster, easier and better when I'm contemplative I would never see in anger (Couldridge 2014).” I feel, in those moments in my life, like I'm in control, and not like a ticking time bomb that everyone needs to be careful about. These moments... middle of the paper... push me to do dangerous things or safe. My theme Whirlwinds of Emotions describes my life and the five sources also give anyone a better understanding of what they are and how they affect me .Dictionary.com Team, 2014. Web. May 4, 2014.3.
