Picnic table

This quote is explaining how on Scarlett’s birthday, she woke up a little later than usual, she treated herself a little more, and didn’t really have any worries. I connect to this in the way that on my birthday, I don't really worry about much. I focus on having a good day, taking time to myself, and being good to myself. I think not only I, but everyone can connect to this one. Visuals: One image that really stuck out to me in the book is Hector sitting alone in the beginning of the book on the picnic table. The above image doesn’t have a specific name, but it reminds me of when the book says, “One day during grade school, he sat out back at the picnic tables during a sweltering day. No one was out…” (Drake 63). This quote indicates he is in fact, all alone. Although there were many images on the internet of a boy alone on a picnic table, this one just happen to stick out to me. When I read this part in the book, I visualized exactly a little boy, upset and…

first time traveling to this destination. The destination was Markham Park Shooting Range. As the car ride took about an hour, that alone gave enough time for my excitement to bloom. When we arrived and got out of the vehicle, the sounds of constant bangs from the police shooting range next door with a few chirps from the startled birds littered the air. We got to the range and stacks of paperwork awaited our signatures. He had to check my height, and made sure which gun was the best suited…

also has a lot of grassy areas that allow people to lay and relax, there is also a second part of the park which contains picnic tables and the only water fountain in the whole park. There isn’t a basketball court, and there aren 't even bathrooms, it is a small neighborhood park. Next to the jungle gym, there is a statue of Mr. Harold A. Henry’s head, the man who help build a better community, and was memorialized with this park. After I took a seat at the benches, I observed the setting and…

The Bill Johnstone Memorial Park, a small activity filled park located near the heart of Sackville on Main Street next to apartment buildings and down the street from Sackville’s favorite dining places. A park that offers a place for the town’s residents to take their pets for walks, hang out in the gazebo or picnic tables, play sports, indulge in markets and events, splash in the water pad, and more, all with the comfortability of park Wi-Fi and security of cameras. With accessibility to many…

We walked up a pavilion sitting alone in a field surrounded by trees. The layout of the building was symmetrical, with four doorways to an cozy arrangement of picnic tables and outdoor fireplaces on both ends. The walls were stone and seeped a sense of abandonment. We made conversation while he began setting up his equipment. I explored the setting, admiring the crevices and graffiti left behind. When I came to the fireplace, I noticed feces covering the mantel and ash that saturated much of…

It was a crisp summer day and I was laying on the sandy beach of Dewmont Lake. The smell of sweat and sunscreen was in the air and it was a scorching hot day. So I decided to go in the water with my friends Callie and Emily. We splashed around in the lake and played all sorts of games with each other and with our other neighbors who were at the lake with us. One of my favorite games was chicken fights and I got to say Emily and I were pretty much the best team out there. Once we were tired of…

something really crazy (These were far from the truthful words, but they symbolize the spirit in which I wrote the note). I sped back to his house as fast as my chubby legs could pedal. While he was still standing outside, still dazed from me leaving, most likely, I shoved the letter into his mailbox and turned around to go back home. He watched me the whole time. Jaden, Yogi, and a girl flaunting black, skin tight sweatpants, with the word “PHAT” bedazzled on the side came with their frosties…

You can find heros in almost anyone, perhaps your parents, your friend, and even your favorite actor from a TV show. When you think about heros usually the first type that comes to mind is, Spiderman, Deadpool, Batman, and Firefighters. Yes, they are heroes, but they are the typical heroes found in movies. No one ever really thinks about those heroes that are in your favorite TV shows or Romantic Comedy movies or even heroes found in your everyday life. Each hero is different and fall into one…

This Old Table The surface shows the signs of use. There are crayon and marker stains on it in places. Glitter from crafts are in the cracks visible only if you look close enough. In some places you may see colors too vibrant to be markers. These marks are from having daughters who didn’t realize the effect of nail polish and remover on wood. Scars and lines stand out proudly like the battle wounds on a grand warrior. Few would dare to call it beautiful from the surface alone. It was…

Walking with his hands behind his back, just taking slow steps around the whole perimeter of the classroom. Ethan walked the perimeter of the classroom two and a half times until he stops in front of the back table where he finds a plastic saw and hammer. He picked it up and ran over to the easel that is next to the block area. Sitting on the floor in front of the easel he begins using the toys on the easel. Pretending to cut of the legs of the easel and putting nails into it. While cutting…
