I found Jodi Picoult’s novel, “My Sister Keeper”, to be an emotional and inspirational story.

When Anna turns 13, she decides that she has had enough and sues her parents for the right to her own body.

A news announcement stated that it was supposed to rain for four days straight, but later that afternoon, the rain suddenly stopped. Everyone was filled with joy after the sun came out. The kids all ran outside for some fresh air and sunlight. Even though after twenty minutes they were bored and went back inside to…

Have you ever stepped out onto the sidewalk during the summer without shoes on, and you burn your feet? Well, that is what it was like sleeping on the ground in the middle of nowhere without any shade. My entire body seemed to burning. My shaking hands lifted my aching body from the dirt. My skin was no longer this pale color, but instead was as red as a lobster. There was also dirt covering every part of my body. How it got up my pants? I have no clue, but it was rubbing my skin the wrong way.…

I always hear what makes a good friend in books that I have read. That’s just it seems like a good friend is just in books and made up. Some of these traits of a good friend are arguable and others are right on the spot. It seems like every time I try having a friendship those so call traits are never there in the person. If I was going to make a friend the things I look for in them are: honest at all times, there for you through the hard times in life, and they like the same things I do. The…

I walk towards the entrance to the metro trying to look confident. I look around. I spot the metro sign, indicating were the entrance is, and I start walking towards it. I…

I think it’s weird how water looks almost black under frozen lakes. When it’s warm the water seems so friendly and inviting, but during the winter it’s almost ominous. “I just don’t feel the same way about you anymore, Aleksei” that’s definitely the worst thing anyone has ever said to me. It feels like it didn’t happen, but at the same time it feels like it’s the only thing that’s happened all week. Everything else is just jaded by those words. This was my first day of my junior year in college,…
