Assignment 2 (Essay Writing)
Write a narrative essay about a memory of someone or
something that had an influence on you when you were younger.
It is
1st of May and I am having my day off. I thought of relaxing and lazing
for this one whole day. Instead, I found myself going through this old dusty wardrobe.
A collection of old and underutilised clothes are neatly hanging. Most of the
clothes are the clothes that I can no longer fit in, or something that I no longer
have interest in. Well, fashion fades. Leaving them untouched while they are
still in good condition invited a surge of regret to fill in my heart.
“Haha..Nah..I’ll let other people to
wear you guys”. I decide to spring clean the wardrobe. I take all the hanging
clothes and gradually pile them on the nearest bed in the room. As I take the
clothes for the third round, something hard fell on my right foot. I look and
found a green neglected worn-out wire hanger. The wire is all out of place yet it
is still recognisable. I put the clothes down and pick the hanger from my feet.
I laugh. I have been using plastic and wooden hanger for all this while then
how come this odd one ends up in my place?
Yes, it is my hanger, or to be exact
the hanger used by my late mother. She might be bringing her own hangers when
she came to my house last time. She might forget to take one of them back. Holding
the hanger at that moment bring up some childhood memory into my mind. My late
mother had a number of this kind of hangers. She had them in blue, red, yellow
and green and she regularly used them to hang our clothes indoor or outside our
house. As far as I remember, I couldn’t locate any other hanger of different
materials. I think back then, my mother wouldn’t want to use plastic or wooden
hanger maybe because they are a little pricey.
As I grow up, I later discovered the other use of the
hanger. They were special in a way they serve more than just for hanging
purposes. I could say that my siblings learnt a lot just because of the hanger
used by our mother. How?
Our mother regularly used to hit us with the wire hanger.
It was painful. The pain stung and sometimes we could spot some red marks on
our skin. The hitting usually occurred when did something that we know “we
should not do” or something that “we have been told not to do”. Children being
children, we could not help by breaking about some rules. The hanger first hit
my palm when I was in Year 3. I came back late from school. I was out late
playing marbles with my friends. I straight away hit my bed because I was so
tired. The moment I opened my eyes from my sleeping, I saw my mom standing next
to my bed.
“Where have you been, Anis?” asked mother while she took
my left hand.
Before I could barely answer, the stinging pain hit my left
palm. Another one landed on the same place before I found myself crying. Mother
said, “One for getting home late, and another for not performing your Asar
prayer.”
My brothers and sisters had also encountered almost the
same hanger experience. My mother ever chased after us while holding the wire
hanger. She never stopped until she managed to have us in her hand. Sometimes,
when we are asked to recite Quran, she used the wire hanger to point at certain
place in the Quran. She also will hit the floor when we mispronounced some letters
or words. At first, we thought our mother was being mean and witchy.
We got back home early, prayed and dutifully reciting the
Quran because we feared our mother and the hanger. As time passed by, we noticed
that the hanger was slowly missing until it is finally gone. We learnt that we
were first we did as what our mother say because of our fear of being hit. The
fear however grown into something called “respect”. Even without the presence
of the wire hanger, we were still conformed to what she asked us to do. Now
that she has gone, we still dutifully able to do things like she said. We
realised that the wire hanger experience is to make us realize of certain
things like the do’s and don’ts in life. The wire hanger is still kept safe in
our memory.
I put back the hanger back to its place. This hanger is
so special in a way It teacher us life lessons.
