into my head that our yearly family Christmas dinner is ever so close. As a child I enjoyed the Christmas dinner but not for the wholesome heart warming reasons that echo through my words now‚ but for the greedy natured presents. Admittedly the presents still are a highlight of the Christmas dinner‚ but after a few seasoned years of learning that Christmas is not about materialistic items I now feel that the Christmas dinner is the best part of this day. Every year we have the dinner at my grand

There is a place where my family travels every weekend in the summer. I have gone there ever since I can remember. I have pictures of my family and me up there from before I was one year old. This is a place I call my "camp". My grandparents moved up there a few years ago and now live there all year round. It is a very family-oriented place‚ and all of my Dad’s close family has houses up around there. All the houses are so close that many generations of cousins have all grown up together. My camp is

My brother just kept on spitting out "come on‚ Maggie. I know you can do this". I couldn’t help but believe him‚ so yet again‚ I climbed the ladder. I arrived at the top of the boathouse‚ and I crept across the black gravel laid out on the roof of the building. It was burning on my feet‚ since the gravel had absorbed the heat from the sun. Finally‚ I edged myself to the step up that was the edge. It was metal‚ so now it was scorching on my feet; even worse than the gravel. I stood there and felt

My favorite room makes me feel as though no one can touch me while I am in there. The room is a very calming place to be when I am stressed and have a lot on my mind. Now that I am in college my room is even more special since I have to share the one I am in. Being in college even makes me appreciate it more to because I can’t do some things like play my radio or the television

We decided that we didn’t want to combine any of our things just yet because we didn’t know each other that well. I believe it’s a good idea because it

My third favorite poem out of the sixteen we studied was “Song” by Garcia Lorca. “Song” tells a story of a woman who is content and blissful in the state she is in‚ and needs nothing more to fulfill herself.

My absloute favorite poem we studied was “The stone” The way Wilfrid Wilson Gibson tells about
