If The Dust Ain T Trying Summary
An Autobiography by Kinsey DeVine

“If the dust ain’t flying, you ain’t trying”, author unknown for sure, but I associate it with nine year old, barrel racing phenomenon, Chayni Chamberlin. If my mom would have heard that saying eleven years ago, she probably would have said that saying could apply to every aspect of my life. Whether it’s on horses or not, it captures the essence of giving my all in everything I do, including trying to come into this world. Eleven years ago on February 7, 2006 in Fredericksburg, Virginia, a baby girl was born. After twenty-four hours of labor with no luck, I had to be taken via cesarean section. As the story is told, the first thing my dad said to my mom was, “She has red hair!”. And so the story begins, the story of me. I was born on a cold day, three days before my mom's birthday. When I was born, I was taken to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), because my mom had a fever when I was born and I was unable to regulate my body temperature. After three days, my family was able to bring me home. My grandma was there and she was able to stay with us and help my mom for the next 3 to 4 months. Life as the baby, Kinsey Grace started to unfold; luckily it was Kinsey Grace, not Presley Jean, Rayce , Riley, or Madison.

I wore a pretty purple dress with a white collar, and we celebrated my birthday at home in Fredericksburg, Virginia. This party celebrated my birthday, but also gave us the chance to say farewell to some of our friends because we were moving to South Carolina. I received a “Princess House“ for a present. Princess...that is what I wanted to be. Everything I did revolved around being frilly, wearing dresses, and plastic high heels! I visited my grandparents and stayed with them in Georgia for a week and we had good times riding the mule, fishing, and gathering the eggs from the

    There was a concert, games, art shops, and fireworks. My sister and I got glitter tattoos and we got to make a sea turtle out of sand. My brother was exploring all the games there was and playing one game over and over again. It started to rain hard all of a sudden when the sun was just out shining bright. Employees were passing out plastic rain coats for us to wear, the rain stopped and soon it became dark. The fireworks display was amazing, with red, white, and blue sparks falling down from the sky. Everyone waved their mini American flag as we sang the National…

    'Children of the Dust' is a novel by Louise Lawrence. It deals with the aftermath of nuclear war. It shows how the survivors of the attack struggle to survive and adapt to their new surrounding. It displays a family split up into two groups, the group of people inside the bunker and the group of people outside. The story covers a period of about fifty years, illustrating the way of life of the descendants of the people inside and outside the bunker. Even though the insiders and outsiders originated from the same family, they all end up having very different views on how human life should be continued. I believe that the main issues raised in 'Children of the Dust' are survival, prejudice and different values of society.…

    July 14th, 1931. I lie in my deathbed at 10:49 pm, thinking. It seems like just yesterday I was only five, with my whole life ahead of me. I remember my mother told me stories while I sat on her lap. She would make hot chocolate and I would listen to her talk. My favorite story always started the same way. On September 2nd, 1903, the day I was born. My mom went into labor a month earlier than expected, so it was a good thing that they already bought baby supplies. The only problem was my parents thought I was going to be a girl. My mother would laugh every time she spoke of this, but she always assured me afterwards that they both love me all the same, no matter who I turned out to be. They named me Lawrence Exeter, after my father. This was the last and only memory I have of my mom before she left us.…
