A Walk to Remember

As Albus Dumbledore once said, “Happiness can be found, in even the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” This is true for many characters throughout Walk Two Moons. Most, if not all of the characters have had to face dark times, and many of them have needed to find happiness with what they have. Sal got through her sadness by thinking of things that reminded her of her mother, and her father got by by spending time with Margaret Cadaver. They discover that they are in…

filled with anger. I couldn't think any clear thoughts, I couldn't see anything clearly. When I look back on this, all I can remember is red.…

“Ring” goes the school bell as you hop along to your first day of kindergarten. I don’t remember much about kindergarten but I do remember the outfit I was wearing. I wore a denim looking dress with a smile on my face as I walk into class. I knew how to read and tie my own shoes before kindergarten, I remember my dad teaching me while we lived in Florida. I have more memory of when I was in first grade. I remember one day at recess and I had to go to the bathroom really bad, I asked my teacher…

\Another murder has occurred. HYUN-JUNG (mid 30s) runs a small nursery School, and is in trouble since she is out of donation money to feed the children. She falls down after a STRANGER wearing a baseball cap squeezes her neck from behind. Inside the nursery school, Det. Park finds out a connection between the victims: the people around the victims, they lose hope because of their deaths. Det. Park heads to Father Choi with the blurry photo from the victim’s phone, where the Stranger is reaching…

Taking long walks in the park, during the summer, is something my family and I love to do. Watching the wind blow through the bright green leaves on the tree’s, or feeling the warm, reviving sun radiating off my skin. Covering me in a blanket of sunshine. The sweet, fruity smell that lingers in the air is a smell I wish could stay in the air all year round. Even if the air conditioning is on, I still will open my bedroom window to let the smell of summer fill my room. For my family, summer…

got worse. Eventually my dad made a doctor's appointment. The doctors didn’t find any big problem, they just suggested tests, and prescribed medicines. They set up an home IV for a couple days, recommended yoga, meditation, and acupuncture. I remember one November day when I was in 7th grade coming home from school and seeing my dad sitting at the kitchen table with an IV in his arm and the IV standing but him. I was really scared because it looked like it really hurt, but he…

Growing up in the Bahamas as a little girl I always dreamed about living in America. I’ve never seen pictures, or visited America but only heard positive things about this country. People painted America as a beautiful country that you would want to live there one day. So, I started thinking about what would it be like to live there. And one day my dreams came threw I moved to Miami to live with my mom. It was one of the happiest day of my life. There I was enjoying life, experiencing some of…

“I can remember opening my eyes in panic, hearing sirens and everybody screaming and crying. Terror in everyone's eyes everywhere I looked, people were running trying to get to their loved ones. I was wearing jeans that had been torn from when I fell, with a t-shirt and running shoes. My face was covered in dirt along with my hair from all the smoke that were being made from the burning houses and building. Then it hit me, i was traveling with my best friend: Sam, before the explosion, I turn in…

There's always going to be that one person in your life that you can't walk away from even if you know you have to. That one person is my grandfather. I couldn't walk away from him even when it was his time to walk away from me. I remember the morning of his funeral and how, at first, I refused to go because I was afraid. Afraid of what I was going to see, the most important person in my life lying there lifeless, but I could not help but want to see him one last time. At the funeral I…

a lot with my grandmother. In Albania, you can see around 7 of these boats that have been permanently left on the shallows of the beaches just by walking down the shoreline for 20 minutes. They're very beautiful and big boats, one I specifically remember had carnival rides on it, being so young that one was my favorite so my grandmother and I went there often when my family visited Albania. I didn't just decide to talk about these boats because I've been there before, but because a great…
