When they are sitting down for breakfast her father hears a loud noise and starts shooting at a crow. His mother is shocked, and runs outside screaming “Pat, you might ought to check, but I don’t think they do that here!”(155) to her father’s surprise, the neighborhood they moved in did not think of shooting crows as a “national pastime” (155). For this reason, Sarah likes her new Bozeman house. When Sarah was
She explains the struggle of only having little food there because it was the ones her parents brought her during the weekends but she had to save it in order for it to last.

In 1952 on Francine’s tenth birthday, her birth parents, Fred and Feonia came to see her.

For the remainder of the week Fred, Feonia, Francine, and Marguerite went shopping, watched playes, and went to the park. Then over the weekend there was a terrible accident and Fred and Feonia died.
Having to Choose In Mona Simpson’s “Approximations”, Melinda is sure that her father is “gone for good” after the second visit with him, because Melinda was in the middle of making two choices. Either Melinda chose to please her mother or to have any type of relationship with her father. After the first visit with her father, Melinda’s father calls her six years later and said that he wanted to take Melinda to Disney Land. Before Melinda and her mom get on the plane to go to California, Melinda’s mom tells her that she wanted a New Sony Portable Color Television in white. During the flight Melinda and her mom made plans to get Melinda’s father to buy them the television.
We’re going to be late.” So I slowly drug myself out of bed because I had a restless night. As I put my softball shirt on “Hurry if you want to see Trevor before the games start” my mom said. So I hurried as fast as I could as she chuckled. It was a usual Saturday morning.
The woman even made her dogs peanut butter and honey sandwiches, and let them sleep inside her bivvy sack. She treats them almost as children, as any other human beings in need of love. Although she’s camping in thirty below weather, the only things she gets from it are positive. She ends her trip with this closing, “On Sunday I had a glimpse outside of the house of mirrors, on Saturday I couldn’t have seen my way out of a paper bag” (281). Nature and her companions had given her happiness, which nothing else seemed to be capable
I expected to go to lunch, visit a new state park or go out shopping in a new boutique, but I never guessed what I later saw as one of the most beautiful structures made by man. My sister and I piled into the car oblivious to the magnificent images we were about to experience with our own two eyes and willingly trusted our mother in her plan to astound and educate her two daughters in a way that would never be forgotten. I returned to BAPS for my site visit report for this class in order to further experience the Hindu faith after my initial visit, and to also go back to the magical place I so adored. When first entering the gates of BAPS, one can already begin to gather it is a place that is revered as holy.

I never wanted to see them again.Soon my daddy came home. He picked me off my bed, where I was watching television. He took me into the living room where Matilda sat on the table next to us.My dad excitedly asked, like he did every day, “Are you ready to see how Ms. Honey finds her way out of the house?”I said “No. I don’t care.

When they get home they take the beads out the bags and keep the ones they like and throw the rest in the bag, and the little kids look through the bags to find toys that they can play with. The rest of the bead that the people don’t want they can give them to friends that ride on floats so they can throw them next year. That is why Mardi Gras is a tradition to have in Louisiana. The floats are amazing to look at. It’s fun to yell real loud and not get in trouble for it.
We followed one of our good friends as we drove to her house in Alabama. While we drove to Alabama on I-10, I decided to get some rest, because the sun did not come up yet. I wrapped myself up with covers, and I laid down and slept. Suddenly I woke up from my mother’s screaming and the feeling of our truck rocking. Soon, my brother
