Sam said that he was not ready to go home yet and his father said he could stay for a few more months. One month later his family came back and got him. They stayed in the Catskill Mountains to live. This story of survival taught me that kids could live in the wild, but it would be tough. I liked the book because it taught me some survival tips.
English 9A: Growing Up: Family Narrative Mia Ippoliti My Family Narrative Last year my family and I took a spring break vacation to the beautiful state of Washington. Originally we had wanted to visit the Olympic Peninsula because of our love for the Twilight Saga book series but after researching on-line we realized that there was lots to see besides the infamous small city of Forks. We planned to visit the only rain forest in the United States as well as several wild nature beaches where we would spend low tide hours exploring the sea life inside of tide pools. We also planned to stay a few nights at two different Native American reservations on the west coast right on the Pacific Ocean! We named the trip "Our Wild Northwest Adventure."
I remember waking up that day on a Saturday morning. The smell of wet cement outside from the rain the night before and me splashing through the puddles outside. Grandma running behind me “Mi cielo te vas a mojar la ropa” (“My darling you’re going to wet your clothes”). I went back inside to eat the mouthwatering meatballs my grandma makes but I was impatient to go outside and play with my tricycle so my grandpa went outside with me. We fed my bunnies then he helped me get my bike out the garage.
Assignment #1 English 101 Revision # 1 February 11, 2013 My best memory hunting Saturday, October 26, 2004: the day my dream would become a reality. This would be the first time that I was able to go duck hunting and fire a gun. I had just received my hunting license and a 12-gauge shotgun as an early Christmas present. It was a cold and windy morning that day. The day started by having to get up at two o’clock in the morning followed by a long car ride and normally when I am in a car I can fall asleep, but this morning I was too excited to do that.
In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, the mad dog in chapter ten represents the unseen prejudice in the town of Maycomb. At this point in the book, Jem and Scout are playing outside when they notice Tim Johnson, the dog of Maycomb, making his way towards them. He does not seem normal, so the children go home to tell Calpurnia. When Calpurnia questions them about the dog, Jem answers that “he’s just moseyin’ along, so slow you can’t hardly tell it. He’s coming this way” (93).
One late fall afternoon, a man named Rip Van Winkle came home to his farm after a long day at work. His wife began to nag at him because without asking her, Rip brought home a puppy.

My birthday was around the corner and getting a dog was my only wish. The morning of truth was finally here, it was my eleventh birthday, and the day I hoped my wish would come true. I woke to an almost empty house, mom and my brothers were gone, and dad was working in the garden. It was just like any other day and I was instantly upset when I wasn’t woken to the cliché big brown box with holes poked in the top, and a shiny red bow. After two irritating hours of Nickelodeon and Disney shows and mom finally gets home.
Kimberly Clemons Professor Angela Haynes English 1113 #006 - English Composistion I 7 February 2012 The Time I Tried to Save My Dog From the Electric Fence We have all had those moments where we lack common sense. You know those moments when you do something that you know better than doing, but for some reason, your brain just doesn't register how completly senseless it is. When I was just 14 years old, I had my first of many epic lapses of judgement. At the time it was anything but funny, but over the years my family has reminded me of it in such a comedic way that I can now look back at it and laugh. Let me tell you about the the time I tried to save my dog from the electric fence.
Dogs can be trained to do things and cats cannot. According to Bradley Trevor Greive, a New York Times best selling author, “On September 11, 2001 many people died and thousands of lives were lost, but there were 17 People at ground zero that didn’t die because of the bravery of search and rescue dogs.” Nobody was saved by a cat on that terrible day. Dogs can be trained to do tricks and to not pee on the floor. When was the last time you seen a “cat show”? Dog shows have and will always be a form of entertainment for us as humans; they are fun to watch and very entertaining.
While I was petting him I told my dad I wanted him because he was shy until I called him out. So we did. While my dad was signing papers with the owner we went around back where there were even bigger dogs which I think were the little puppy’s moms and dads. When my dad was done we headed home. During our ride home we stopped to the closest pet-co to get some dog food.
