Connie is mostly concerned with how pretty she looks, while her mother scoldes her for it "Stop gawking at yourself, who are you? You think you're so pretty?".

In “Monkey Hill,” Stan Rice writes about the speaker of the poem who sits at a zoo with his friend observing the spider monkey exhibit. The two stay the whole day to observe these monkeys. The speaker becomes envious of these monkeys and their ability to be confident with exactly where they are and with who they are. Rice argues that our minds imprison us when we are worried about judgment from others. The monkeys in the exhibit felt free and at ease while the two observers were trapped in worrisome about the outside world in fear of how others would perceive them.

Finally they reached Kelley and Will’s mom, “Why do you all look so nervous and sweaty?” Their mom questioned. All four of them laughed, “Just a bit nervous from the rides,” Makayla stuttered with an uneasy look on her face.

I pondered it over, everyone knew about that cabin. It was haunted, I even knew about, even though I just got here. The cabin looked like it was a hundred years old, made of wood. It had broken windows and missing shingles. It was every kid's nightmare. Whitler disappeared twenty years ago and everyone thought he was dead. They said Old Man Whitlers ghost haunted the cabin. I hoped it wasn’t true.

With her heart racing she ran to her closet and pulled out her survival kit that had everything she needed along with her survival

“It will be ok. It’s not that scary like, you think it is.” said Kathryn.

Slowly she began to back away toward back door; she pressed her back against the fly screen and wrapped her hand around the door handle. Footsteps made their way toward their door and a fist banged against the wood, the door ricocheting off the fist and wiggling. Her mother then gasped and slowly walked to the door, wrapping her hand around her belly she opened the door and Djinda darted to hide in the kitchen.

        Walker shrugs. “I’m not sure. I guess I’m just nervous.” Eleanor steps forward, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. Delta makes a sound that is filled with irritation and Eleanor shoots her a solid glare. Walker knocks on the door twice. Everyone holds their breath as they all wait for the door to open. The door is flung on its hinges with something white and brown standing on the other side. Walker bends down to pick up the creature, struggling to hoist it up with it squirming s the whole

The Blackberry salad smelled like happiness like when fresh cupcakes that came from right out of the oven. Macie’s school was not serving her favorite meal, Mac-and-Cheese, they were serving the disgusting Sloppy Joes. They were gooey, the bread had mold on it, and the meat smelled like horse poop. Macie thought that she is going to be sick for the weekend, which was not exciting. That Friday night, Macie and Casey went to the same mall. Casey came with some of her friends to go shopping, and Macie came to read and study. They were ordering mouth watering food from a taco shop, when they turned around and walked forward. They bumped into each other from the side, and Macie spilled her cola on Casey new dress that she had just gotten. “What is your problem?” Casey blurted out angrily. Macie replied with “Oh! I am so very sorry.” They looked up at each other, and they said, “You look exactly like me!” They thought for a moment and they tried to come up the options of why they looked so much alike. “ We can’t be related can we?” Macie asked. “Of course not!” Casey demanded. After a minute, they observed each other very closely. They finally decided that they were identical twins, because they looked exactly the same. Same color of hair, eyes, and they had the exact same birthdate, December 31,
