Little Sister

There are many people who have younger siblings that say they are little brats or they are extremely annoying, and they are. I have a little sister who is three years younger than me named Lauren Elizabeth Best. Though she may be extremely irritating, she is also my best friend. She would make me laugh when I was upset or she would take the blame for me when I fell and broke something. Whenever I was feeling sick she would always get water for me or play a movie on the T.V.

We used to share everything up until I turned 11. At that point I decided I wanted to have more space so she was not longer aloud to sleep in my room, or use my things, or wear my clothes. This was a big change for the both of us because we are so used

    Yes, I believe that Aunty Uju is right to compromise, to a certain extent, a part of her own identity, in the struggle to fit in and to achieve success in a country that may differ in the ideas and the cultural norms of her own. Although a person may have to compromise, surrender, and sacrifice certain things, it may be the only way to assimilate and be accepted into a new society, such as America, in order to attain the "American Dream".

    Two Sisters’ Perspectives “Why I live at the P.O.” by Eudora Welty is written in first person. The narrator, called Sister in the story, seems to use this work to express her feelings about the unjust treatment she has endured from her family. She also wants to justify her quick decision to move away from home. She hopes that her readers will see the mistreatment she has endured and applaud her for having the courage to separate herself from her family. If the story was told from Stella- Rondo’s point of view, she, just as Sister, most likely would try to justify her actions and get the readers to take her side.…

Steinbeck portrays George and Lennie as having a sibling-like relationship. Through this, George realizes that Lennie’s existence is holding him back, and only putting Lennie even further in harm’s way. This leads us to the theme that sometimes, in order to protect the ones you love, you have to do things that will harm them.…

    Being an older child in a family does not always have its benefits. Sometimes it puts you at a disadvantage when having younger brothers/sisters. Your parents might let them get away with more than they ever let you get away with, or they might even take up for them more than they would you. Having your parents and relatives take up for them in times that you know they should be either upset or disappointed in them might make you try to point it out to them. It would create an internal battle with your emotions for your brother/sister and your parents and relatives.…

Many memories of growing up with my sisters, who are now my best friends, live in the house at 515 Adams Street.
