My most memorable day started out with my brother and me visiting my grandmother by bicycle for lunch on a Saturday. We rode our bikes without incident to her house but on the return trip‚ my brother’s bike broke. I got off my bike and walked it with him until we got to a long steep hill that led to the railroad tracks we needed to cross.

Lily Campbell Block 3 Mr. Watrous 18 September 2012 Who is Mr. Watrous? When we initially meet someone‚ we immediately tend to judge by physical appearance. This is somewhat of a natural instinct‚ although the way someone looks does not necessarily reflect the individual’s true self. When I first strolled into Mr. Watrous’s classroom‚ my first impression was that he’d be a stern‚ serious teacher.

North of Alaska‚ ripples scattered over the water as the small ’u’ shaped trawler glided through the shivering water. As Summer swept through‚ the mountains with the remains of snow enclosed the lake‚ distant from the open sea. A small gulley was the only way to access the unknown feverish water.
