Go-Karts: A Fictional Narrative

Improved Essays
On the way to Colorado the family had stopped in North Platte, Nebraska at Cody Go-Karts. However, it had looked like a replica of an old, wooden, log fort. Outside of the fort-like track the sound was inaudible, but once inside it, it was a dome full of sound. The sound of the Go-kart tires screeched as they went around the turns. Some going really fast making the family wonder if they were alright or if they had gotten whiplash. It smelt like a jungle of excitement, fun, freedom, and burnt rubber. Once on the track they could feel the adrenaline shoot through them at 100 miles per hour. The family could hear the whine of the engine getting tired from being run all day. She had felt the littlest of rocks and cracks under the tires as they had flown past the other racers. …show more content…

They left after taking in the whole sight and capturing brilliant pictures of Jesus Christ himself standing in all his glory. They stopped at a wildlife reserve and bought some stuffed animals. All three of the kids got a stuffed moose, Hannah’s had the brightest of pink sweaters saying Colorado on it and the other two got the same exact stuffed moose with the darkest of navy blue sweaters. As they were leaving they saw some white-tailed deer and elk prancing around in the woods. Hannah thought she had seen some mountain lions lying in the sun, having it shine off of their magnificent tan colored fur, but to her they were giant instead of normal size, so that was a clue telling her that it was just a figment of her imagination, of her wanting to see one really

    The beautiful gold and attention made so eye catching that I had to write about. It’s a wonderful piece of artwork and it would be perfect to stand inside of a church. I wish we knew who the artist was, so that could get the praise for such a wonderful job. I think this one stands out from many of the different The Virgin Mary sculptures during that time because of it’s color and the paintings at the bottom. I feel like the paintings at the bottom brings and emotional feeling to the piece and also adds to the story.…

    After putting on our bright pink leotards and ballet shoes, which trust me we're not the most fashionable, we went out to the car to wait on Dianna’s mom. I should mention it was still raining as if the earth would flood outside, this made it slightly hard to hear but we ran out to the car anyway. Me, Dianna, and Dalton bolted through the door, sprinting to the car that Dianna had unlocked with the small remote. The cold rain made the humid, hot day not feel as bad as the rest of that summer had been, which was dry and hot. When we got into the car we sat for a bit but then Dianna decided she wanted to turn on the music so she jumps to the front seat of the car.…
