For example‚ my Spanish wasn’t good enough for my Mexican relatives and my English wasn’t refined enough for the American society. I began to learn english when I

Karley Pohlmann Personal Narrative Composition‚ 8am Red‚ that is what comes to my mind when I remember May 3rd of my freshman year in high school. Red was my totaled out car‚ red was the stained seat fabric from my brother’s blood‚ red was the flashing lights and sirens‚ and red was my eyes from the tears I cried.
