Cousin

around the dining room that I swear has shrunk as I’ve gotten older. My cousin of a whole knowledgeable eleven years old added her own eager questions to my own. “Where were your parents from?” she asked, with eyes that burned with an unsatisfiable fire. “Well” said Gramz, “My mother was Mary Ann Vierra, she was one of the babies that came here from Portugal. My father was John Puana from here” (Mary Ann, Interview). My cousin was immediately excited by this, she went off rambling about all the…

Cruise to the Bahamas with my whole family. The first night we flew to Florida, and it was a packed day of traveling so we hit the hay. When we woke up the next morning our adventure began. The next morning, we boarded the ship. Immediately my cousins and I of course went to take a picture with Mickey Mouse. After we checked in and saw our rooms we ran to the pool deck. It was breathtaking,it was so cool. There was a slide that went over the ocean, I of course ran straight to it. Needless…

in my grandma’s car rushing to the hospital. We get there and they put me in a wheelchair.They bring me to one of those hospital room. I try to get on the hospital bed but I was struggling. This all happened in the summer of 2013. My brother, my cousin, and I were bored at my house. We didn’t know what we wanted to do. We played in our pool for a while but we wanted to do something else. So we decided we wanted to ride our bikes to the park that was down the street from our house. So we asked…

of the stories that I truly enjoyed was "The War of the Wall" by Toni Cade Bambara. The story revolves around an artist, whom other characters call her "The painter lady" that visits a town in the south of America to paint a mural dedicated to her cousin and the community itself on a wall that is located in Taliaferro Street. This essay will analyze two of the painter lady's characteristics. Firstly, it will introduce the trait. Secondly, it will offer evidence from the story, an explanation of…

something we should have done as well. Instead, the other sixteen of us stayed put, not turning in until well past two thirty in the morning. After many rounds of hot chocolate and six pizzas devoured, we all finally retreated to our bedrooms. Ten cousins, myself included, went up to the far corner where we always slept. Our uncle Matt…

there, the End of the ride Or Were We………………… We were in Universal, the Orlando theme park, and me, my cousin, and my dad had gone on some pretty fast and fun rides, like, The Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit® , which went 65 mph! (My glasses almost flew off my face!) and, we had already gone to Diagon Alley to get butterbeer ice cream, and I bought Harry’s wand, and we rode the rides! Then my cousin and I decided to see if we could go on the Revenge Of The Mummy® ride... “Could we go on the…

“Thank you so much Orlando, we hope to see you soon!” Ash, the lead singer of New Year’s Day exclaimed. “We love you Ash!” the crowd responded. This year at Warped Tour has been amazing so far, you know minus this horrid heat. I mean I just saw Attila, New Year’s Day, Pierce the Veil, Koo Koo Kangaroos, and Never Shout Never. It was all amazing until...we had to go! “Nooo!” I screamed, earning some strange glances. “Let’s. Go,” my sister repeated for what felt like the thousandth time. The…

involvement. After the wedding, Romeo kills the cousin of Juliet during a duel and is punished with banishment. Juliet fakes her own death and Romeo kills himself in response. If Romeo was not desperate and dramatic, the deaths of Mercutio, Tybalt, Paris, Juliet, Lady Montague, and himself would never occur. In the very first scene, it is revealed that Romeo is desperate, as demonstrated by the way he agonizes over his first “love”, Juliet’s cousin, Rosaline. For instance,…

everyone calls me Slushy.” said the ice experiment while giving Stitch and Shift snow cones on the house. “Hey why did you choose the name Shift, Lilo usually names us?” asked Stitch after taking a bite out of his snow cone and looking at his new cousin. “I’ll show you why.” said Shift after eating the entire ice cream cone and walks behind the counter to Slushy and his eyes glowed pearly white. Slushy looked at shift weirdly then shivered, regardless of his 0-below body temperature,…

At Red Scaffold my cousins Gabriel, Josh, Tristan and I ride bikes. Gabriel and I wrap ropes on our back tires to create traction like chains on the rear tires. Consequently, I think the ropes work well on ice and snow, you don’t slide around on the slippery ice and can move well in the snow. My cousin Gabriel and I go through mountainous snow drifts and the ropes help enormously, so we don’t spin out. Last year we wrecked a lot while riding our bikes because the ice was like glass, causing us…
