The Right Twin-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
There is something that makes me stand out from others: my younger twin sister, Sophia, and I are fraternal twins. Although we’re fraternal twins who technically don't look alike, my sister and I share almost identical facial and body features, to the point where people wouldn’t be able to recognize who is who from the back. This is why there is always confusion between our friends about if the person they are greeting is the right twin, (and most of the time it is not). Most people would get angry if someone mistook them for another person. This, however, is not the case for me. Instead of getting annoyed whenever someone calls me Sophia, I think of it more optimistically and am rather thankful. If it weren’t for this constant interaction

    One of the greatest factors that contribute to twins’ relationships is the appearance of both twins that appear as mirrored faces or almost close to identical faces that make a distinct separation between normal siblings and twins. In the book, Entwined Lives, author Nancy Segal demonstrates that twins that are identical or symmetrical-appearing have a close relationship because of the clear similarities in the physique and face of twins that lead misunderstandings in which in “Twins and families have long known that some twins find it difficult to identify themselves in snapshots, even if they have not known why” (Segal 25). Because many pairs of twins are born identical or with similar appearances, twins gain a close relationship to the point…

    “Ginger” and “little red” and “copper head” and the ever so famous “carrot top” were just a few of many nicknames that once taunted my childhood. It seemed to be that I did not have a name, but rather I was just “the redhead.” Always sticking out like a sore thumb, I was surrounded by a family of dark brown hair and undoubtedly seemed to be the only child in the class with the uncommon genes of fiery red hair, a galaxy of freckles that covered my body, and the fairest of skin that would burn at the slightest of interaction with the sun. As a result of the little resemblance I share with my family, people often mistaken me for someone else’s child or demanded an explanation.…

    A lot of people think just because you’re an identical twin, that you must be the same in every aspect of your life as the other person. In my case, and in others, being an identical twin doesn’t prove that we are the same in all areas of life. I have an identical twin sister, named Emily. Emily is pessimistic, high maintenance and very well organized. I, on the other hand, am more optimistic, open-minded and easygoing.…
