On the other hand, Marvin finds the proposition to be rude, so he chooses to refuse to push the boy into the cake (Escobedo 2017). On the behalf of Maria, she believes that pushing the boy into the cake is right, rather than not…

state that I never saw culture as a thing. I grew up with a family who took me birthday presents, bought me homecoming mums, and gifts on valentine’s day to school. I have been continuing the tradition with my kids, but when I left Texas and moved to Georgia and I took my daughter a birthday gift to school the office staff looked at me like I was crazy. They had never had a parent drop off a gift for a child on their birthday or a valentine’s day. I realized that here it was not the norm to do…

Lupita: Mom! I have a boyfriend Mather: My love, I just want you to be happy. Who is the lucky guy? Lupita: His name is Bryan Smith, and I was dating with him for 1 year. I know I never talk about him because I did not know the relationship was serious. Mather: (Trying to reason with her daughter) Lupita! Why you do not look for a Mexican boy? Lupita: Mom! but I like him, now we decide to live together. Mather: (Altered voice) but Guadalupe! You have to think about marriage first? Where are…

Who are you? They say I look like you, that I sound like you, I remind everyone of you. But you forgot who I was. I looked at you in the eye, at my sister's sixth birthday, you looked back at me with a confused face, your eyes grew old, sad and frustrated. You wanted to remember, but your brain wouldn’t let you. I wish I could've gotten to know you, hug you, and tell you I loved you before you forgot. I knew my grandma would be different, after being diagnosed with severe Alzheimer's…

interesting person. It is weird how no one actually knows his real birthday. They think that he had died on his 52nd birthday, but no one actually know the real facts about him. He is also known for the greatest dramatist of all time. It is very fun and interesting researching him. I’m happy I got to research William Shakespeare. William Shakespeare was born on April 23,1564, in Stratford, United Kingdom. They assumed his birthday was then, but no birth records existed. He was baptized on April…

banged her legs together as she waited for the UPS man to drop off her gift. Aunt Allison promised her that the full antique dollhouse would arrive promptly before her birthday. Darlene had been waiting for this delivery all week, but she had an inkling that today was the day the package would arrive. Surely it would because her birthday was tomorrow, if not the box must have been intercepted in some fantastical way. She entertained herself while waiting by imagining the swashbuckling pirate…

package from his father, who died four years before. The package had a locked wooden box with four key holes, but no keys. “The meaning of life for Jeremy Fink to open on his 13th birthday” is engraved on the top. Jeremy and his best friend, Lizzy, have four weeks to search New York City to find the keys before Jeremy's birthday. I like the idea of giving a quest to a teenage boy and seeing how he solves it. While reading I was wondering if the two will even find the keys and if they’ll ever be…
