For a great deal of kids, summer is the best time of the year. They can enjoy to the beach, hang out with friends and enjoy their time in the sun. I was always the oddball that felt the opposite. I hated summer. In fact, I used to despise it. From birth to even today, I was always considered the “fat kid” because I was overweight, despite the fact that I never touched junk food or ate excessively. It is just in my genes. I remember being in elementary school and wearing sweaters all year round…

Right from the start, Celeste Ng is straightforward and tells us that Lydia is dead. As readers, we spend the whole novel knowing that Lydia was dead before her story began. Her family does not know this piece of information until her body is found. When the police inform her family that they found her body, her family is put into the same position as the reader, knowing Lydia was dead but not knowing how or why she died. The end of chapter one brings us to the next step in understanding…

“Mother had written him that she felt she was dying and wished to see him before she did. It must have been hard for both of them… I remember them sitting in the garden talking before she passed. He was crying. Vera and I were watching from my window. She whispered to me that she would never let anyone hurt me again…” I reached and touched his cheek. I saw that his eyes were misty. “You must have loved your mother very much,” I said softly. “Yes, I did- you are the only person I’ve ever loved…

I interviewed my grandfather Charles Rutherford who lives down the road from me. We discussed a few different topics such as what his life was like being a kid, what he thought of school, and how he knew my grandmother was the one for him. It sometimes got off tracks talking about his children and what happened to them, but for most of the time we stayed on topic. We talked a lot about what life was like and his jobs and his life overall. This interview started about his life in Tennessee and it…

Critical Preface Going over the whole interview and realizing how many similar situations I have gone through with my Grandpa is what surprised me the most. This paper was completely different then I thought it was going to be. I assumed it would just be about me asking my grandpa questions and he just answers them and I’d put dialogue with a little bit of background information on paper. After I think about how I was going to originally start the paper I’m glad I realized that I need to change…

“What’s this?” I gander at the intricate indentations of the tinfoil-wrapped cylinder. My dad took me to the Edison Laboratory in West Orange to expand on my knowledge and interest on technology and engineering. All the inventions made me question my capabilities of constructing a beautiful masterpiece, so I begged my dad if we can build something. My dad agreed and took me to a store. When we arrived, I ran into the store and started searching for something I can get. Finally, I hit my jackpot…

Buzzz! The sound of the siren goes off. It is halftime. Jogging off the court, I follow my team to the locker room, all of us sweaty, out of breath, and completely dejected. What happen to the Baron pride at the beginning the game? It seems that even the coaches have given up on us as they stomp out the locker room in frustration. We all sit in a room overflowing with silence and tension. I stand and say, “Ladies, why are we letting a few bad plays and missed shots completely discourage us? We…
