Narrative Essay On Pine Tree Trail

Improved Essays
Background

It was March 28 and as usual my 15 year old self was hiking on the (self made) trail behind my house, with my bestfriend. The woods were like my second home and I was there almost everyday. After school each day I would abandon my homework to make new branches off of what I called Pine Tree Trail. (Note: I never had anything higher than a B- besides art which I currently had a 94 in!) The air felt warm and the songs of birds filled the atmosphere with joy. That's The reason I was always there. Well that and the fact I had 3, well 4, (Charlotte always stayed in her room on her phone) annoying siblings. Nora and Lillian are twins and were 12 at the time and Carter was 3. They would ask me to drive them around and it got on my last nerve. My family was well off on money (I have no idea how) so I drove a black matte Jeep. Our house was three stories with a basement and my attic room. My mom would push me to have friends over and my dad would say “ Amelia, honey, Harper can do whatever she wants.” My dad was awesome. He would always cook the best dinners and watch the newest movies with us. He was the opposite of mom. She always pushed me to be a social butterfly.

She loved the outdoors and was constantly reading. She was quiet and sweet. I guess you could say she was a modern day Snow White. She tried to come over whenever she could but it was hard since she played tennis, oboe, and had to babysit her little sister, Evelyn. I don't think my parents liked her much. They tried to make up excuses for us not to have sleepovers like, “ We are going to mima’s at 6, sorry!” (They were never mean to her but they didn't like her sleeping over.) She would sneak in when my parents went to bed and spend the night. By 6:00 she was back home. When she slept over we would play video games, draw, and sneak out to CVS to buy cheap makeup for makeovers. At school she would help me

    Ever since my first backpacking trip 6 years ago, I’ve had an affinity for the Appalachian Trail. I’m constantly looking for excuses to mash our lives into the giant, 50 liter bags, and hit the trail for a few days. This past year, in early fall, I convinced my parents to don their sturdy boots and disappear into the wilds of bear state park with me for three days. We were dropped off at the top of Bear Mountain and, while my parents argued over directions, I wandered around the windswept ridge.…

    When I was very little, walking up the trail with a pack on my back and the dog at my side, I would reach out and pull leaves from the bushes and trees. I would tear off corners, smooth the edges, and they would be turned into spaceships, flying across a lush alien world. Sometimes the trail, worn down into the ground over time by paws and hooves, would climb its way up onto the crests of ridges and meander across the moist, mossy fringes of muskegs. The rough, black and gnarled spruce branches that grew there were pirate spacecraft, pursued by the sleek birch branches from beyond the muskeg's soggy borders. As imaginary lasers and rockets exploded against the ships' hulls, I would rip off little pieces of bark and let them fall to the forest floor.…
