All I want is to make seventh grade a blast for her. I hop out of bed and start getting ready. I make my way downstairs to the smell of freshly baked cinnamon rolls. I finish my first golden brown cinnamon roll that had just melted away in my mouth from the frosting and go in for seconds. I look at the time on the…

Snow Fall The snow fell gracefully onto the ground flake by flake. As my family packed each bag into the car until they pressed tightly against the rear hatch, I tilted my head back towards the sun attempting to catch each fraill flake with my tongue. My entire family piled into the car slowly as I continued to stand motionless in the snow. Finally, forty minutes later when every mitten and hat had managed to make its way into the car, summoned by my parents who were anxious to get home, I slid…

The Protagonists: Holden Caulfield and Jonas “I'm not going to tell you my whole goddam autobiography or anything.

Lying was something he had not trouble admitting. He even told us outright that he was ‘the most terrific liar you ever saw’ (Salinger, pg. 17) only he sometimes ends his…
