Summer Break Paragraph

Superior Essays
Every single person in the world has experienced an event or situation that had dramatically impacted their lives, whether it be good or bad. It is not a question of when it happens, but what happens. Unfortunately for me, I have experienced many unpleasant ones.

It seems that they have become more active than when my mother had met them; constantly bouncing around the house and cuddling next to our arms while we laid on the floor. Sometimes, they would even lick the sweat off of our hands (weird, I know, but I have to admit: it was pretty cute). We’ve already gave them a nice, comfortable home of a large mouse cage on top of a small table in the corner of our living room.

Nonetheless, I was very concerned for our family’s little rabbits and I almost refused to go. Eventually, I was convinced by the fact that my dad (who stayed home) could watch over them while we left for a few hours. “Daddy, can you watch and feed the rabbits for me?

My family had moved to the countryside, where it was quieter and more serene. We now own eight beautiful dogs and three magnificent cats whom I love very much. I have not forgotten about the rabbits, as I have framed pictures of them in my room. I have to say; that event had actually made me stronger and more confidant that before. Now, I’m a happy, proud and ambitious 17 year old who can’t wait to finish high school. In the end, I have learned that things happen in life whether it be with or without reason, you just have to accept it at some point and move on with your

    It’s interesting to see how certain events can shape a person and how they can completely change them. This drastic change in character can clearly be seen in Elie Wiesel's novel “Night,” in which we see events from the Holocaust unfold from the eyes of younger Jewish Elie Wiesel. “Night” is set during the nineteen-forties when the Nazi party still ruled Germany. Twelve-year-old Elie Wiesel and the rest of his family are sent to the concentration camps after their own town is taken control of by the Nazis, sadly Elie's mother and sister are killed off early on when they reach Birkenau.…
