Childhood Summer Memories

Character traits in books are a very essential element and without them, books would not be books. They provide people with an example that they may follow in order to live a good life. Some books serve as life lessons to show people how some characteristics can bring downfall to some people if they do not follow the rules. Throughout Last Days of Summer, by Steve Kluger, the characters possess many characteristics that can help us in our everyday life, most importantly, patience.

It was the day of the Six Flags trip, all my friends and I lined up in the front of our bus with our backpacks. The sun blazing and burning our skin. We

I remember my childhood like if I was five years old again; it was the best time of my life, getting woken up by the sound of the lawn mower. My dad was always up early, working at the farm. The smell of fresh cut grass

The first thing I did this summer was my family and I went to Myrtle beach South Carolina. The first thing we did there were we went to this restaurant called River Side. Next we had to wait for my aunt to get there so we can get our apartment. Once my cousins and aunt got there we got our room key so we got into our apartment. Then we went to unpack all the cars and decided what room each person someone would sleep in. After that we went to eat lunch and we almost got lost. The next night we went to a boardwalk right by the hotel. And then on Wednesday we went back with our cousins this time and found a store called the stupid factory. It had funny shirts in there and stuffed animals. On Thursday it was 100 degrees,

When we got to the pool, the pavement on the ground next to the pool was very hot! My feet were burning as I looked for some shade. My uncle and I went to the lazy river.

Sunshine. Endless amounts of fun. Water. It was about that time again, summer! My favorite season, no school and my birthday was in it. This summer was especially great, my dad was coming home he was in the military and I hadn't seen him in eight months. It was about a regular summer day with my family, when my parents thought of heading down to the beach. I was thrilled this beach was one of my favorite places to go in the summer. It was not only just a beach but, it also had a large park with big blue swings, a tennis court, and large grass area for people to have picnics. And were the beach and the park split of there were tall ginormous rocks so people could watch the boats and ocean. I was so excited and on top of that my mom told me that

Summer of 2011. Sun is bright as ever, and the humidity starts roaring. It was 11 am in Orlando, Florida and I’m finally at so called “the happiest place in the world.” Disney World is the name. Once entering, balloons, parades, and screaming from the roller coaster hits you. I myself was with joy that my dreams have come true. Even the few souvenirs at the gift shop got me hyped.

In “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury and “Examination Day” by Henry Slesar, many similarities and differences emerge throughout the stories. “Examination Day” is about a 12-year-old boy who has to take a test by the government only a few weeks after his birthday. The boy's name is Dickie and he passes the test by the government, and as a result they exterminate him. This portrays the dim mood of Bradbury’s story. In “All Summer in a Day” a character living on Venus, named Margot, is different than the people around her. She is different because she remembers the sun, unlike the other characters living on Venus. Furthermore, there are similarities between the settings, the the, and the way the authors express their writing in “All Summer in a Day” and “Examination Day”.

The sand was hot on my feet to the point where my feet were aching. I would take breaks by standing by the tide for a few minutes. My parents and my Aunt and Uncle started talking about the old days so i decided to go and sunbathe. My sister, Sara and Maddie got fed up so they went up in the house.

I remember my family and I finishing our yummy, grilled peanut-butter sandwiches that my dad would always cook. I walked out outside, it was a beautiful, sunny day on a Saturday. It was about 70 degrees. The breeze felt amazing like you could just be outside for hours. Kids were outside playing on their play sets, seeming to not have a worry in the day. I've always wanted something that I could actually ride instead of just a fake four-wheeler that little kids had. When I first got one, I of course begged and begged my dad to take me for a spin. I wanted to learn, and I was very happy to get to ride this big, blue bike. He was always busy, but he made

The sun was harshly burnt my face. I was at my uncle’s house that summer day just to hang out because he had some cool “toys” he wanted to show us. Anyway, there we were, me, my dad, and my brothers Aidan and Austin.

It was in mid July when we went on our entertaining cruise. I was eight, but I remember it like it was yesterday. The weather was sunny and blazing hot, just right to get a sunburn. There were everything you could do to have an enjoyable day. What could be better than soaking up the scorching sun, shopping, playing a round of miniature golf, or taking a swim? Who wouldn’t want to watch a beautiful sunset before bed? Why wouldn’t anyone want to wake up and look outside their window to see the sparkling blue water?

After walking the whole morning in the streets filled with joy and children pulling on their parent’s arms to walk faster, my parents insisted to sit down on the Animal Kingdom Park bench to rest for a bit. As my parents talked about what we could do next my sister and I waited impatiently with our heads down trying to hide from the scorching sun. My favorite Minnie Mouse cap did me no use because I remember squinting my eyes to the point where they were basically closed. Although it was about 80/90 degrees Fahrenheit outside, my mom had forced my sister and me to wear a long sleeve due to our white pale skin that with just 15 minutes of being in the sun would transform to a bright red.

Maybe summer wasn't like that type of movie I've always wanted my summer to be like, but let's be honest here, it's my type of summer that I would never forget. It was at total of 71 days, full of complete boredom, until I thought of my last few weeks of summer as a horror movie and let's just say that kinda came true because I knew that a summer couldn't be fun and entertaining without being scared.
