A personal essay about having a little sister named michelle by a female writer
Not everyone can say they are a big sister. I on the other hand got blessed with not only being a big sister, but being one to Michelle. Michelle is my now 13 year old sister. We never really got to live with each other long because I was always moving, but there is no one that I love more. She can be the meanest person in the world, but she can also be my best friend. Because she is my sister, I have many jobs: making sure she is happy, making sure no one but me tortures her, and making sure our fights are not only a challenge, but also an art.

First of all I really love my sister, I would do just about anything for her. Last year on her 12th birthday she had made plans to go to the beach for a weekend. Our parents were going to take her, her friend and me. I unfortunately had to work both Friday and Sunday. What made it even worse was that the day before she was supposed to go, her friend couldn't. Michelle was so upset but she went anyway, alone with my parents. I love my parents, but both of them are not the most fun. My sister was doomed to have the worst birthday in her life. Well, I got up Saturday morning and drove the two-hour trip to Dillon. I got there around 12pm. I had to do something for her. The first thing I did was order a cake. While the bakery was making the cake I went and bought several balloons and a stuffed teddy bear. I then headed to good old Wal-Mart to buy some banners and a present. On the way to the house I picked up a card and her cake. I went back to the house and set up everything so when she walked in the door she would definitely be surprised. I hope it was a birthday surprise she would never forget because as her sister, I love her and I want to see her happy.

Another one of my jobs as a sister is to make sure I am the only one that tortures her. One Friday my friend Nikki and I were hanging out in my back yard. Nikki was not really fond of my little sister, so she was not thrilled when she showed up there. Michelle came down to

    This essay will discuss the political history of the United Sates from Washington Administration to the election of William Henry Harrison. George Washington is unanimously elected president of the United States in a vote by state electors in 1789. One month later on March 4, the constitution goes into effect, having been ratified by nine states, along with U.S. Congress meeting for the first time at Federal Hall in New York City.

    I’ve never wrote in a diary nor have a planned on it, but I feel that my experience should be shared with everyone. My name is Edith Goldberg. I was born 1928 in Teschenmoschel for most of my life which is a small village near Kaiserslautern, Germany. My family were farmers that lived in a small village of about 200 people. The village had a very small Jewish community… It used to be bigger, but over time people either had left or died. From what I remember I had a normal, happy childhood with my parents and sister. I remeber my family and I would be hay-making in the summer and tobogganing in the winter. My family always stuck to the Jewish traditions. Man, Those were the goodtimes. I also remembers a time that wasn’t all that good, which…

    The connection between mother and son is untradeable. There is inevitable love that pushes a mother to do absolutely anything because of the maternal instinct that is bestowed within. Unconditional motherly love releases the “super power” inside a desperate mother in need of her child. In the novel “Son,” Lois Lowry uses characterization in the main character, Claire, to demonstrate her courage, desperateness, and mental, as well as physical, strength that strives her to find her son. Born in an utopian society, Claire is assigned her role as a birthmother. After something goes terribly wrong in her birth, she is reassigned to the fish hatchery. After overhearing her son is number thirty-six in the Nurturing center, she creates a friendship with the Nurturer so she can secretly see her growing son. The village elders decide, at one year old, he is not suitable for a family and would be killed. The Nurturer’s son, Jonas, runs off with the baby and Claire sets off on a ship to find them. Her body washes up on shore of another village without any memory of what happened. After listening to a little girls’ conversation, Claire thinks “This baby in my belly makes me forgetful,one little girl had said. Claire, working now with Alys, preparing the herbs for Bethan’s mother, understood what the child was pretending. Why did it make Claire feel so unbearably sad?”(Lowry 153). Lois Lowry uses indirect characterization to illustrate…

    1. Meena - Meena has two sides to her personality, what she calls a ‘dual identity’. She has one identity with her family and being brought up within a cultural family. She has another identity with her friends in a British environment. But throughout the book sharp aspects of her personality shine through. She is desperate for an adventure. ‘When would anything dangerous and cruel happen to me’. As she says here, she wants some adventure, something to spice up her ‘boring’ life. ‘If what that dog had was madness, I wanted some of it. Even then I felt I spent my whole life saying sorry’. This evidence tells us that she is quite rebellious and another piece of evidence pointing towards the fact that she wants some adventure in her life. She is a drama queen as she tell us of the hot dog incident. ‘I squeezed my hot dog and suddenly the sausage shot into my mouth and lodged itself firmly in my windpipe’. This supports my statement that she is a drama queen as this event sounds exaggerated. She is very opinionated and she lies a lot. ‘Telling a group of visiting kids in the park that I was a Punjabi Princess and owned an elephant called Jason King’. This tells us how imaginative she is. It also shows us how her cultural identity reflects through into her other identity.…

    Once upon a time, there was a really lazy and mean little girl who lived in a house with her stepmother and two stepsisters. The little girl never did anything for herself.

And she was the worst sister EVER! Whenever her sisters would dress up for a dance or special occasion, she would gather up all of the cinders in the fire place into a bucket, and dump them all over her sisters, ruining their pretty clothes. They would then ask, "Why did you do such a thing?" and she would respond, "Eh. I guess I was just bored." They would then run weeping from the room.…

    I would like to share a story about my maids. I used to rely on maid services because I have two children, aged one and three respectively. When my eldest son was born, I initially sent him to a babysitter who lived nearby my area. However, the babysitter was only able to take care of my son until he was six months old due to her own pregnancy. So, because of the unavailability of my babysitter, I really needed to find a maid to look after my kids when I was away at work. My first maid was from Indonesia and I hired her in Dec 2012. She was 26 years old. She was originally from Bandung and she was a widow. She had never worked in Malaysia before and I was her first employer.…
