The biggest memories that come to me are going to church in my hometown. Every Sunday was a special schedule. I got to wear my best clothes of the week, which was usually a dress, long socks, and a bow for my hair. Once my whole family was ready we would walk to church. On our way, my mom would often stop and talk to neighbors. Sometimes I would have to remind her that we were going to church or tell her that we were going to be late. Mass was an hour or so. After mass, my mom and dad would give me money to buy an ice cream or junk food. When I finished my ice cream, we would walk home with neighbors who lived on the same street. Walking home everybody would talk about how beautiful the ceremony was and how well the priest explained the Gospel. I loved the sense I was given by my neighbors. Comforting and belonging is what I felt when I was around them. McClay and McAllister refer to this as “anchor our memories in something more substantial than our thoughts and emotions,” which is my hometown connecting me back to my neighbors at my

I remember the rattling and squeaking of the bunk beds as we jumped around laughing. My room was basic except the bunk beds that I found fun in many different ways from jumping off the top into pillows to pretending the floor was lava with my siblings, those memories will never leave my mind. With my brother, David Gaipo Junior, being ten years older than me it was hard to connect at times, but I could look up to him and learn without him even knowing. One difference was that, my brother and I had different mothers with that obstacle I only saw him every weekend if I felt lucky.

Allen and his two best friends Needles and Noodles are unique in their very own way but when it comes to being a teen and following the world around them they have trouble being who they are especially in a very distinctive neighborhood that’s full of gossip. To support this in the book When I was the Greatest, Maloy was a positive character during all the decisions and situations Ali was going through. This is because as Ali looked up to him since he was young, Maloy gave him advice and taught Ali one of his biggest interest which is boxing. For example, Maloy says “Punching bags don’t punch back, but sometimes when you take them for granted and you get cocky you could really hurt yourself when you punch one.” This is a piece of advice Maloy

One of the characters I would like to discuss is Richard, played by Hunter Mruz, because he was one of the characters who really stood out to me as very profound and interesting personality. In my opinion he was one of my favorite actors to watch as I felt some of his lines or discussions ere very vital to the story as they provided key clues that you had to pick up on in the begining to help get a better understanding of the story. He showed good voice inflection and was very active when saying his lines. My all time favorite scene he is in is when they are being pulled over by the sheriff and he has to try and talk the cop out of a ticket but it completely backflips. He says to the officer “Well I

When I first heard about Ponyboy, I thought that he was a bit inexperienced and lacking in street smarts, like the other Greasers said. Ponyboy also can be called a jack-of-all-trades, being talented in the arts. However, on the other hand, he is lost in this world due to his situations right now; his parents dead, him being a Greaser, and not always getting along with his brothers.

When thinking of my memories it’s as if you were surfing through TV channels. Some making me wish I could go back to that day and relive it. Some I hope I will never have to relive. Most memories make me smile and think of how much I want to be little again. Although at that age, all I wanted was to grow up and live my own life. My memories can range from being at home to being anywhere but home. Although, some stick out more than others. One of those few fond memories is going to the Dominican Republic with my family.

My strongest memory is from when I was in kindergarten. I had to move to a different school. My mom had started going to Cosmetology School in Poplar Bluff. Before we moved I gave my kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Long, a green stuffed poodle.

Everyday we would do something new, for example, go karting, board games, card games, but specifically the one that sticks out in my mind is geocaching. We would always go out to new places and look for geocaches. It was exhilarating when I actually found one and got to take what was in the container and put something new back in.

In Beneatha’s case Asagai is a better suitor than George, because George is caught up trying to live the American Dream. Asagai and George differ greatly from one another making them both foil characters. A foil character is known to have different qualities to help highlight the traits of the other character. For example, Asagai is seen to be an ideal black man, one who is attached to his African identity rather than having an American perspective. On the other hand, George can be seen as an African male trying to live in a white society. Clearly showing their character’s qualities are the converse of one another. George qualities of viewing how Beneatha dresses and acts clearly shows he is not capable of being with her. For instance, when George

What is character? Character is something that is hard to explain. It is who we are, the way we act, and the kind of person we truly are and want to be. Character is what you are in the dark. But if character is the kind of person you are when no one is looking, then why does it matter? Character matters because even when we think no one is looking, they are. People are always watching us and the way we behave and many will look to us in admiration and inspiration, so it is our job to constantly be a role model of good character. A couple of ways that we can show our character are through gratitude and respect, but we can also look up to others, such as Benjamin Franklin, as role models for good character.

Both Dade and Julian where fixated on proving themselves right and defending their beliefs about

There are many character traits that make someone successful in life. Some traits you are born with, other traits are mindsets. There are a few character traits that coaches, teachers, bosses, or any other significant figure looks for in particular. One of the most important character traits is a hard-working attitude. You aren’t born with a hard-working attitude. It is a mindset. You may not be the best employee, but an employer will be more willing to work with someone that works hard than someone that can do the job but is lazy. Although I am not the best at everything, I give 100% effort in everything that I do and believe that working hard is the most important trait a person can possess.

My most memorable childhood event was when I was 15 years old. It was the Fourth of July. A big family vacation a barbeque, over night stay and out of town trip to six flags, and I had a blast the night before me, my mom, sisters and brother packed our bags to stay the night over my cousin house in Goodlettsville ,Tennessee. She had the biggest house ever I thought it was a mansion; six bedrooms two an half bath, a swimming pool, a game/movie room with a nice big kitchen. It was something that I was not use, knowing that we stayed in a three bedroom based on an income apartment on the East side of Nashville.

My character has both opened and closed many doors for me in life. Most of the time you will see that I'm very laid back and relaxed. Independence is one of my key qualities. I never like to bother people with my problems because ultimately they're not always going to be there for you. I roam around in silence; being loud and obnoxious is not something that has ever given me much success in life. I try to conquer a healthy and happy lifestyle, but you know how that usually goes. I am pretty athletic I believe because I have put in so much hard work and dedicated even more time to football throughout my eighteen years of life. My life experiences have given me a rebellious trait. For example, whenever I get yelled at in football by Coach
