Explain Why It Would Be Fun To Have A Twin

My sister and I, 28 minutes apart, are fraternal twins. Twins have a very special and unique bond. However, being a twin isn’t just rainbows and sunshine, it’s much more complex than that. It’s the feeling of constant comparison in every aspect of our lives. We were never invited to do activities as individuals, it was both of us, or none at all. I can tell you about the time I was 4 years old and I cut my sisters hair off so my parents would pay attention more to me, or at our 5th grade dance recital when everyone complimented her on her smile and I cried because they didn’t compliment me.

The Runaway Twin by Peg Kehret is a fascinating book. The way the author describes the challenges Sunny went through are just outstanding. I think the theme of this book is to never give up no matter how difficult the challenges that are thrown at you are because in the end it will be worth it. I believe this because when Sunny was caught in the middle of a tornado she stuck her ground and tried her best to survive which she succeeded. Another example is, when Randy was caught under a few wooden boards and a a cast iron sink she tried her best to set him free, giving herself blisters in the process. She decided to run and try to find help for him she didn't just give up on him.

The one drawback of being a twin is making an identity for yourself. Many assume that since we are 99.9% genetically identical, that I am the same person as him. I have to show that I am separate from my twin for my family, my peers, my teachers and others. Just because I come from the same egg as him does not mean I am a unique and separate human being. Making an identity for myself is one of my main struggles in life as I try to shine out and I have come a long way. Yes, I have a different favorite color than him, orange instead of blue. Yes, I like and dislike different foods than him. Be being proud of my accomplishments with my twin make those that I make on my own that more special. I was a Committee Chair in Youth and Government in a program area that my brother was not. I partook in the Chemistry Olympiad that my brother could not as only one person could go. These standalone activities help shape who I am, but it is my twin who had given me the marble to sculpt. I know that going to college is a big step of me branching out from my twin and I'm ready as it is coming quite

It was hard to come by this realization, but I have learned to embrace that being an identical twin is simply a part of who I am and who I always will be. And as I am growing older, I realize our lives are taking drastically different paths. Natalie has always been an introvert who loves working with computers, I am more extroverted and love the outdoors. I always wrestled with myself thinking that being a twin made me lose my individuality, but instead it has rather pushed me to discover myself and distinguish who I truly am. Being a twin is an incomparable experience and I wouldn’t trade it in for the

Most twins also have a few close friends that are separate from their sibling. Most don’t share a personality. Again, some small parts are the same, but these parts can be explained by environment. My sister and I have different interests, are involved in many different activities, and have aptitudes in many different things. For instance, she is involved very heavily in the theater and political science departments at her college, and I am involved in volunteer work wherever I can find it and the nursing department. Finally, we don’t usually dress alike. We have not dressed in the same outfits every day since the age of six, when we started helping pick out our own clothes. When we do dress alike, it is only for special events. For instance, we are planning to do so for three days at the end of summer, due to our attendance at the Twins Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio and most twins find this a fun way to celebrate being a twin. Most pairs have the same philosophy. They may dress up for holidays or birthdays (the parents and other relatives find it cute), but not on an everyday basis. There are, of course, exceptions to the rule. Some twins like to dress alike all the time, even as grownups. Some have the same friends, and some even have eerily similar personalities. To these people, I say “More

Identical. To me, having an identical twin brother is very uncommon. I enjoy having a twin brother because whenever when do anything together we are very competitive. We both push each other to do better for example if we have the same class and I have a higher grade he will work harder to get a better grade than me so it pushes us both to do better. Lastly we have a bond that will ever be broken. Overall having a twin is something that most people wish for But I was lucky enough to get

Having a twin helped and hurt me; the challenge that impacted me was my independence or lack of. She was always there. We were in the same classes, had the same interests, played the same sport, had the same friends, worked at a job together, and

I wondered what I could be in life when I have a twin that looks like me and acts like me. When I was younger; everyone always considered Mariah and I as the same person. I tried to prove them wrong by doing different things. I experienced a rough childhood with a single parent that raised us by herself. My mother was working all the time at her job at the nursing home being the admission while we came along because no one could watch us. As I began to grow older I found an interest in being around nursing. When I turned sixteen, I began my first job at my mother's nursing home and I am still there for over two years. However, after those two years, I realized I was not close enough in helping people so I started CNA classes through my high

I am a statistic. I am the 1 in 285 Americans that has an identical twin. Although these are merely numbers, they mean a lot more than that to me. It means I have a twin sister, Chloe, who has the same DNA as I do and looks exactly like me (or so I’m told). Our unique situation has led to a unique relationship.

I would want a twin,that would be exciting! It would be exciting because ,you can trick people. For example you can trick people by dressing up in the same clothes,and people will mistake you for your brother or sister. The second reason having a twin would be exciting is that you can play games with your twin. You can play games like tag and,hide and seek,wouldn't that be fun. In fact you can also style each other's hair. You can brade each others hair, and put buns in each others hair. The last reason that I think having a twin would be exciting is that you can do sports together, and in addition to you can do sports like volleyball and soccer. This is why having a twin would be

What stood out to me the most in these chapters was the part about the twins. This stood out to me because I am a twin and can’t imagine living life without my sister. The fact that they chose the twin to kill based off of which one weighed less is so very sad. Towards the end of the book we finally are told what it means to be release. What happens is they person is given a shot that kills them. Jona has to see this in a painful way when his dad does it to one of the twins. The book didn’t end the way I thought it would. I was a little disappointed, but it wasn’t the worst of endings. Jona and Gabriel escape with the help of the Giver. They take a bike and travel up a huge hill for days. When they are about ready to give up they get to the

The Benefits of Having/Being a Twin On a more positive note, yes, being a twin does come with issues, but having a twin is a blessing and is one of the greatest gifts a person could get and there are wonderful things that come with this experience. The benefits of being a twin outweigh the drawbacks by an abundant amount of reasons. One reason is that, “the level of intimacy and connection commonly experienced between twins is a foundation on which to build other relationships.” which was stated from an article written by Linda Marks, a

It would be incredible to have a twin. First it would be awesome because we can practice athletics together. My twin could be on the same soccer team as me. Another reason if I had a twin would be in school together. Me and my twin can work on homework together. My twin could be in the same classes as me. The third reason of having a twin would be is that you and him could have the same friends. My twin and I can never get bored because we will always hangout together. The fourth Reason of having a twin is that we would go swimming a lot more. My twin would make swimming fun because swimming with no one is not fun at all. The last reason is that at home we can always play games together. I have nerf guns so me and my twin could have a nerf

When I was little, having an identical twin was so exciting. We wanted to wear the same clothes, watch the same movies and just be identical. As we got older, it seemed less appealing to be exactly like someone else. By the time we were teenagers, I fought to build and maintain a separate identity. Pausing to reflect on my life, I see that it was those small, seemingly insignificant moments that sparked my interest in human development and behavior.

For years I have been fascinated by that mysterious quirk of nature called twins. In my family, there are several sets of identical twins, and I have always concentrated on their similarities. I did not realize that identical twins also have many differences. My identical twin cousins, Sue and Heidi, appear to be perfect mirror images. They love to dress alike. They can feel each other's pain. They sound alike and can complete each other's sentences. But upon taking a closer look, I have found that they are as different as day and night. Aside from Sue and Heidi's outward characteristics, they possess several distinguishing traits that allow them to be viewed as two separate, independent
