Sleepover

was taking her and her sister Alyssa with me to my house to live with me! They said no they needed to stay with their family and that we could see each other whenever we wanted. Sam made a promise to me that I would be the first person to have a sleepover at her house and the first one to see what the house looked like. I was so happy when she said that. Then I said Sam I will help you guys pack and move as long as I can be the first person to see the house. Sam said you know you will be the…

yet despite its size, many divisions were apparent. One of these divisions was the railroad tracks following the river through the city. I've come to realize the part they played in my childhood experiences. My friends never came to my house for sleepovers and their parents wouldn't make plans if my mother was driving their children. Summer camps, the bus stop, and enticing playgrounds were on the other side. The eyes that saw me were full of judgement i was deprived of trust and opportunity…

mumbled something about sleeping over and knowing his daughter. With a nod, he frisked me inside and wandered off calling for Ashley. We, of course, got everything sorted out. The night that followed lived up to my arrival- it was the most grandiose sleepover I had ever attended, complete with a three course dinner, tea, and lengthy conversations. However, my feelings of unease remained throughout the ordeal. I discovered that I did not know much about the lifestyle of the rich. I unearthed…

Shirley Jackson’s short story The Lottery is about a tradition where the villagers must make a sacrifice in order for their crops to have a good season. Tessie Hutchinson picks the slip of paper with the black coal mark in the center and she is the one to be sacrificed which means the villagers, even her family, must stone her to death. The theme of this story is that traditions can be good or bad. Traditions can result in lots of different scenarios. Tessie wins the lottery and she gets stoned…

Everyday after school, I would see this blind accordion man on the side of the street with his dog. I used to be scared of him, but not anymore now that I grew older. Every time someone dropped money in his case he would say “God bless America”. During winter vacation, I started a coat drive for homeless people so that they could have coats in the winter. Mr. Tushman told me that was a great way to spend my winter break. I used to be best friends with this girl named Ellie, but I’m not her best…

It was a just a regular Friday I came home from the bus, changed, and rode my snowmobile. I came in the house and I looked at my phone to see if I had gotten any text messages. It says Jayden texted me. I opened it and it said, “ Do you want to sleepover and go Northern fishing tomorrow morning?” I texted back and said yes. I didn’t know what would happen tomorrow, but it’s going to be fun. When I had gotten to Jayden’s house we played on Xbox for a little bit, then we played hoops with a mini…

she just told me to check in with her from time to time so that she can check in. What my mom was doing here was being protective and giving me room to grow, something that Amy should use in her parenting style. She should allow Lulu to go to a sleepover, as long as she checks in with Amy from time to time. This will allow Lulu some of that freedom that she may be yearning for, but also giving Amy that feeling of protecting her…

we were used to. The other senior and I took it into our own hands to make this season fun, since no one was sure how it would turn out. So I invited the whole 9-12 volleyball team over to my house after a practice during the summer to have a big sleepover; it went very well and we were the closest team that I have ever been a part of or seen. Because of how close our team was, we had no drama this year, which…

Moving to a new city or state can be hard. You are moving to a place you are not familiar with, you do not know anyone and nobody knows you which could be hard to make new friends. This is a lot like the movie the Sandlot. A young kid named Scotty “Smalls” is forced to move to a new place far from his old home. He tries to make new friends but it does not work out so well for him at first. This highly recommended movie shows the hero’s journey of a kid trying to make some friends but gets…

have asked you the same thing had you asked me a week ago. I’ve always enjoyed scary stories. For this reason, my cousin Tayler and I scared ourselves half to death reading a particularly scary story in the late hours of the night at one of our sleepovers. Yet I’d never thought of reading them during class. In an article on barnesandnoble.com, Paul Goat Allen conveyed five reasons kids should read scary stories, which are: 1. They get children excited and exhilarated about reading, 2.…
