Personal Narrative-Humorous Day

The rushing about of recess is enough to put anyone in a fantastic mood. A few kids are talking while sitting on a stump. Some are playing soccer, but I am playing tag with some of my classmates. As I make an effort to flee from the tagger, but my legs seem to not want to work. They see that I am hurt and almost feel bad enough to leave, but recess games are anarchy, so they do it anyway.
"No!" I screamed.
"Tag!" They yelled. "You're it!"
"Aw man!" I shouted.
Whatever remains of that round of tag is pitiful. I am trying my best to put this to an end once and for all, but all anybody is saying are words that don't give the boost I need at all, like "Missed!" or "You can't get me!" I started to wonder why my right knee was so stiff. Was it

We drove home and enjoyed the rest of the night. But when I woke up, I felt kind of woozy. I slowly walk down the stairs, and when I look down, I scream in horror. My knee was swollen so much to the point that it was the size of a watermelon of all things.

We’re on the highway and I just watch the granite formations on the side come and go. I thought that it would never be over. After an hour of driving since my Dad works at the South Shore, we arrived at the hospital. Dad brought me into the hospital check-in where the kind secretary smiles at us. After Dad checked me into the hospital, he takes me down a hallway. It was a pretty long one, but about halfway through the stretch, we turned right and opened a door that was dark and had lots of computer screens and one large table.
“Ok, put this fabric on where it hurts,” Dad says. “Don’t move, I need to scan it.”
We’re waiting in the silent dark room for about 30 minutes, when suddenly something pops up on the screen with my bones in a bright white with this gross yellow plague in the picture. That was Lyme Disease. I’m already surprised because I can just tell that it doesn’t seem to be normal. Dad takes a close look and prints the picture looks shocked and takes me right across the hall to a regular hospital room.

    Before I start talking about the book I have chosen to read, I would like to describe how I came to my decision upon choosing the book.

    Court Rooms are a place where everything can be changed in the matter of seconds. In my experience, court rooms are always packed with people who have no idea what really happened. In the movie, “And the Band Played On,” the court room they perceived was a lot like one I am familiar with. The room was packed, there was a lot of yelling, and not much of any kind of compromise was made. One of the actors says that the only reason the people were there was for money.…

Frankly, Fridays felt fantastic for me, predicaments with them only belonged to specific Fridays .…
