Personal Narrative: Stella

Improved Essays
Imagine you spend the whole eighteen years of your life, and it’s always been accompanied by someone else and even when entering college that one individual is still there. It’s creepy to think that some people are privileged to have their own personal stalker, that is to say, in the form of kinship. I know only one person who I can identify and most definitely, easily recognize the person in my own life. The one who fulfills all the criteria happens to be my older sister, who I will refer to as Stella. As siblings, it is a universal truth that the relationship between children will change; although the relationships will be plagued by arguments a-plenty, ranging from simple teasing to when parents must intervene to saves to lives of their beloved children, these relationships will be of tremendous use in the future, hopefully, for both children. My current relationship with Stella is a positive one. With my set of eighteen year old eyes I see my sister, Stella, as a mother like figure who at this point I cherish.

Right now our relationship is strong and I see her as a close friend. In conclusion I can with confidence our relationship is a positive one. Through my current eighteen year old eyes I would not be able to enjoy life as I do now. I wish to be able to see beautiful moment in the future accompanied by my own personal stalker, or it might be vice

    She was simply asleep. After finding a pillow for her head, I left her to enjoy it. (37) MY SATURDAY MORNINGS WERE RESERVED for Christina Heal: a devoutly religious woman who might have been older than Jesus Christ himself with a pear shaped body and hazel eyes that once twinkled upon hearing my stories. It was a particularly warm day for fall in New York; so I decided to stroll down to Ms. Heal’s office on Forty-Fourth Street. The sun glistened in the sky and the children playing baseball in the park reminded me of my conversation about baseball books with Holly from the other night at her party.…

    Anthony Browne (1946- ) is a well-known author due to his picture books – he has approximately forty picture books to his name-. Among them, The Tunnel is an appropriate example to be considered so as to show the importance of reading picture books. As Browne states “I hope to encourage more children to discover and love reading, but I want to focus particularly on the appreciation of picture books, and the reading of both pictures and words.
