Part 1 At one point in high school my grades were below par which didn’t really make my parents happy. They decided to enroll me into a tuition center where may other kids take tuitions during the school holiday. One week in, I didn’t have a single friend, probably because I’ve always been a really shy person. I sat outside reading before my morning class. I looked up and noticed this girl was moving towards me, she engaged into conversation with me and then told me she thought I was real good looking and that definitely was an ego booster, she then suddenly left and I never saw her again because that was my last summer school class.
But I could not fight Bob to get him off of the children, because I was not going to get in the middle of it, and get in trouble again. I think he saw me, because he ran away quickly once he looked my way! I quickly ran and picked up Jem who was laying on the floor from being knocked out! And I ran him back home to his bed and laid him down I looked behind me and I saw scout following closely. I hid behind the door because I didn't want anyone to see me.
He's so dreamy! I wish my mom would buy me that, but we don't ever have any money to spend on that kind of stuff!” my friend said this, “Well, you could always DOWNLOAD it off of the internet for free!” (she told me how to do it) after I got off the phone with her I couldn't wait to download my first batch of songs but, it didn't stop there. Growing up in my life has never been easy, we CONSTANTLY run out of Nutella, my curfew is only 8:30pm On school nights, and I have to take the trash out EVERY NIGHT. With that in mind, I thought swapping music online would give other repressed children an opportunity to see some positivity In their cruel lives. I thought it was the right thing to do.” Given the consequences Brianna LaHara faces, I believe the “Clean State Program” is a very reasonable program.
There was a slight breeze, which made the softball sore through the dark night. This was the last time I would ever see my best friend Trevor. It was 6 am when my alarm clock went off. Hit the snooze a few times when my mom hollered, “Richard, get up. We’re going to be late.” So I slowly drug myself out of bed because I had a restless night.
Both Baby and Anne are very smart, but Baby isn’t recognized for it. Instead she is put into a practical learning class. “I didn’t bother explaining that I’d been on the honor roll at my last school. That I had to go to a program for kids who had learning disabilities made me sad beyond words.” (Page 202, O’Neil) Baby deserved more, considering she was on the honor roll.

Poem Study/ Imaginative writing on Separation A Twist in my Story. The moon shone so bright that evening, making it almost impossible to miss one of the biggest celebrations in my teenage history, graduation. Although once again, my intentions were delayed due to my monthly visit at Dr. Coleman’s office. Frustration soon led to teardrops of sweat, which ran down my eyebrows as I lay reluctantly on a couch while listening to some know-it-all therapist preach on about how I should live my life.

Student Name Literacy Narrative 1 My family; my mother and siblings in particular, played a large part in why I enjoy reading so much as an adult. We moved from town to a small farm house in the country when my siblings and I were all very young. We rarely watched television; my family was too poor to afford cable and seldom got any reception from using antennas. And trust me, we children did try our hardest to get a signal on TV, all we heard in school was other kids talking about the adventures of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Duck Tales, and Nickelodeon shows .

GUN CONTROL & GUN VIOLENCE School was extremely dull that day but, I managed to endure through the six hours of mercilessness, with the thought and anticipation of going home to my father fueled me. The day finally came to a close. When the bus dropped me off I went trudging along, happily ignoring the police and yellow tape around the house; until I was stopped by my neighbor. She said these exact words, “Your father is not at home. Go to your babysitter.” Her words were succinct and verbatim I told her she was wrong that and my mother told me to come home.
