Me myself and I a narrative essay written for a friend describing a day when a girl finds her best friend is herself.
Me, Myself, and I

I was on my way to the park on a Tuesday morning to play a leisurely game of baseball with a couple of good friends of mine. I do this every week.

I saw my friend Kasey while I was walking to the park, when she saw me she ran to hide behind a big green palm tree. So I snuck behind a nearby white picket fence to get to the other side of the palm tree to surprise her. That's when she jumped over the white picket fence and tackled me. After lying there on the green moist grass with the sun beating down on us we decided to get going. As we walked to the park together we were talking loudly and making fun of each other. There were many people looking at Kasey and I strangely. We just laughed at them and continued walking.

When arriving at the almost deserted park we decided to practice our catching while we waited patiently for Steve and Rhonda to arrive. We threw our, almost completely demolished, baseball back and forth to each other. In this tranquil time I found myself thinking back about all the good times Kasey and I have had together. She was a very good friend of mine who was almost always there but always disappeared when I felt bad. Putting that aside I noticed she had on a new baseball cap. It was blue with white letters that said "Play Ball" on it. It looked exactly like the one I had just gotten. She still had her usual faded blue jeans and yellow jersey. They both had stains on the left side from Kasey sliding her way into home plate. I am left-handed so I have stains on the right side of my faded blue jeans and yellow jersey.

Just as I was thinking about them Steve and Rhonda walked slowly to the baseball diamond. They were both also wearing new caps just like mine. Steve had a stern look on his face as always. He is always so rude so it was no surprise when he roughly threw Rhonda on the ground and laughed that is the only time I,ve ever see him smile. Rhonda gets up and does nothing about Steve she just shies away carelessly. After

    Baseball Mitt Analysis

    Allie's baseball mitt is a left-handed baseball mitt. The whole mitt is a light brown color because it is very worn. Yeah, you can even smell the smell of old leather and the dirt. If you'll be looking at the mitt from far away though, you can get the idea that the mitt is green. It's a very light shade of green because a long time ago Allie wrote poems in green ink on every finger and every pocket of the mitt. Since then the ink had faded down a bit. I always thought it was so damn funny that Allie wrote the poems on the glove so he would have something to read when he was on the field and nobody was up the bat. But now it's just a funny little memory that makes me think of Allie more.…

    I was closing in behind her as she reached the crosswalk. She started to cross, of course I followed. After we crossed the street, she walked for awhile, then she sat down on a communal bench. “May I sit here?” I asked. “Of course,” she replied. A minute or two later, she asked “You look familiar, do I know you?” I stated who I was. Everything clicked after that. We started talking about the old days when nothing really matters. I lost track of time, we sat there for what seemed like minutes. Only to find out it had been a couple hours. We exchanged phone numbers, I told her to keep in touch. We went our separate ways, I called a cab and went back to my…

    The wind blew around me as I rushed over to the softball field where I saw two girls the coach. I had been anticipating this for a week and it was finally here, my first ever softball practice. I recognized the two girls from junior high and could still remember their names, Sadie and Blake, and was able to meet a new friend whose name I have forgotten already. I also met Coach Smith. I had never been to the Lehi Sports Complex, but just being on the fields there was enough to excite me. We spent the entire hour and forty minutes catching, throwing, and batting.…

    “Katelyn you're up!” I heard my lanky redheaded coach Kevin screech. I slid on my batting gloves that were caked in dirt, and tightened my helmet that was meant for a 8 year old. I felt a tingling sensation rush through my body, I knew that I was going to do something great. It was the top of the 4th and we were down by two, already down a player so our outfield had to work vigorously to make sure not even a sickly hit could get past them. I could see Kenzie, a short stocky girl, with a bright pink helmet get ready to sprint to 2nd. As I got up to bat I felt the tingling sensation continue to grow, scared out of my mind that I would strike out and end the inning, I stepped up to bat.…

    I was so excited to see her, so I ran up to her and gave her a hug. She then looked at me with disgust and told me that she had new and better friends so she did not want me to talk to her again. She also said that she could not explain anything else because if they saw her with me, they would kick her out of the group. I had no idea what I did wrong, but I was very upset. I tried to talk to her later in the day, but her new friends kept making fun of me. They would call me names and go out of their way to harass me in the hallways and at lunch. They would call me a loser and accuse me of stalking Tanisha. The dynamic of picking on others outside of the group is similar to what Adler and Adler define as “subjugation.” In Alders Peer Power, they explain the different tactics of out-group subjugation. “They like to pick on people of lower status, it tends to excite them” (Adler and Adler 179). Adler and Adler explain, “One of the main things is to keep picking on unpopular kids because it’s fun to do” (Quoted in Adler and Adler 180). The worst part was that Tanisha went along with all of it. I was so upset that my once best friend thought that I was…

    I had just finished my freshman year of high school, now playing on my school’s summer baseball team. It was a perfect summer night on the baseball field; playing against one of the teams I disliked the most, Ava. It was always a close game playing them; they had good players who always played hard. Going into the 7th inning the game was tied, three to three. I came up to the plate wanting to help my team win the game. As the pitch came in my eyes lit up, it was a fastball right down the middle. I swung and hit the ball into left field.…
