The Lake Let me tell you about the time I got pulled over trying to retrieve a bouncy ball. It was Wednesday and none of the things that happened that day were planned. In the morning at school, Aaron, Gabe and I have class together. Gabe walks in and says, "Gavin, If you take me to get something for my girlfriend, I will buy you and Aaron something." I couldn't pass up this opportunity to get some free food, so I said I would. After school we met at my locker to go to my car. There were still no thoughts of doing anything but going to Walmart. When we got in my car, we had to wait forever for my car to warm up, because it's old and kind of sucks. Once we got on the road to head to Walmart, we were listening to some music that varied …show more content…
It is probably frozen over. Its only like 10 degrees." They said, "sure why not", so we went to get some pizza. We went to Lil Caesar's because we only had a little over $5 left. After Gabe bought the pizza. He put a quarter into the bouncy ball pinball machine. The bouncy ball dropped into the pinball machine and he ended up completely missing the ball with the flippers and it went straight through. He still got the ball though. We then headed to the park stage to eat our pizza, because it was near the lake. Since there was three of us eating one pizza, we ate it fairly quickly and Gabe being the responsible diabetic he is, didn't take any insulin. I said, "You probably should have brought some insulin to take." He said, "Nah, I will fix it later." After this, we went to the lake. Right before we got there, I thought we should grab some rocks to throw and they agree. I grabbed mostly small rocks and a few that we almost the size of my hands. Aaron on the other hand grabbed mostly large rocks that might qualify as boulders. We threw them in the back of my car, but before we went to the lake, we were distracted by some frozen puddles. We were determined to break the ice, but it was harder than we expected. Gabe and I both almost slipped, but were able to catch ourselves. Aaron then came over with one of his large rocks and threw it onto the frozen surface with no warning. The rock sent pieces of ice flying everywhere and one of them hit me in the
After Wendy's I went home and on the way home I fell asleep. The next day my friends came back to my house and had a cookout after the cookout Daniel,Miguel & me went to the Rec and then we went
What does the word time mean? The definition of time is the continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and the future. People cannot see time but the effects happen to everyone and everything like humans, animals, and nature. In E.B. White’s essay “Once More to the Lake”, time has affected his beloved vacation spot from his childhood the lake, roads, and camp grounds have changed since 1904. Therefore, I disagree with White in “Once More to the Lake” that everything was as it always has been; the author changed, the camp changed, and the people are clear examples of changes.
Then we went back to my aunt’s place and got ready to do some shopping for our new apartment. My aunt drove us to Walmart and then took us to Macy’s. I was amazed to see size of Walmart the first time. Also it

In the short story “Greasy Lake” the narrator, our protagonist, describes himself as a 19-year-old rebel, but as the story progresses, we learn how it is all a façade to try to be like the rest of the kids his age. What started off as a joke to who he thought was his friend Tony Lovett, turned out to be a life lesson that would crash down his false image of a bad boy. A series of events trigger his common sense and make him see that his way of living will bring him severe consequences or even death itself. The narrator changes his opinion on who he wants to be by the end of the story, therefore making him a round character.

It was mid September 2016 we were on our making our way to Lake Hamilton. An hour and a half later we arrived, it had been my first time in Lake Hamilton ever. I walked into the sunlight exiting the bus. We all ran to the locker room and got a drink of water and went to stretch so we wouldn’t have problems with cramps and charley horses. We started hitting practice and ran some sprints to warm up. Soon after the Lake Hamilton football team came out. I wasn’t intimidated to the slightest, I knew what I was capable of and was hunting for fresh blood.

Hi James, I am a camper here at the Camp Green Lake. There was an incident here at camp and I need your help. You see I was digging my hole to build character and the warden here poked me with a pitchfork as a punishment.
“Yeah, sure, nice try, Justin,” said Conner, folding his arms, leaning back in his chair.
It was just a normal, hot summer, that day. After debating what activity my family and i should do we chose something simple. Shaved Ice. Where we live there wasn’t much. There were a few stores, a small crummy park, and a small portion of so called restaurants. However there was one great thing about this community...Hobo Joe’s. Hobo Joe’s is a small shaved ice truck. It was ran by a family that had been selling shaved ice for quite some time. Their shaved ice was the best because one, it was super cheap, and two, they always added a large amount of flavoring.
The story began with a little small brown bear. The bear didn’t have much friends, all he had was his mother and sister.
She put a plate of bacon, eggs, and toast on the table in front of me. I ate the whole thing in the matter of seconds and went upstairs to change out of my pajamas. I wasn’t very excited to shop with my mom, but it was all ok because I would get ice cream after it. I got dressed and went back downstairs. My mom was waiting for
