Staring contest

This quote intrigued me because the two had just met and Holmes was quite rude to her. This foreshadows how they treat each other later on in the story. Their relationship is going to be full of mockery of each other but yet full of love and support for one another. This reminds me of something I would say to my sister or something my dad would say to me. Their relationship could either resemble one of father and daughter or one of sister and brother. This quote surprised me because as I kept…

to be in. We were checked in within a few minutes and handed our flashy badges showing that we belonged here, and started down the nerd-infested hallway. The surroundings were almost too much to take in - staring down the long stretch of hallway gave you eyefuls of art galleries, cosplay contests, karaoke competitions, merchandise displays, anything you could imagine.

“Con trai, chúng tôi đang ở đây.” Those are the first few words my father spoke to gain consciousness upon landing in my parent’s holy majestic birthplace, Vietnam. Exhausted and excited, I replied back in a tiring voice to my father, telling him how I’m glad to be back in this glorious country in my native tongue, “Cuối cùng, tôi không thể tin rằng chúng tôi đang ở đây.” My father alongside with my mother gave a heartwarming smile towards me and I knew, this was going to be the greatest…
