So What

lets people hide away and be shielded from everything outside. But that also means that it keeps you from experiencing things. In the story “White Balloons” by Judith Ortiz Cofer, a girl named Doris lives a very hidden life. She chooses to be invisible so she does not have to face as many problems. Everything changes when a gay couple, Rick Sanchez and Joe Martini decide to start a theatre company. People in the barrio do not like Rick because he is gay and is also sick. When the kids bring home forms

It was a hot spring morning at Wave Side Middle School. I loved the smell of flowers, I remember what they used to look like. All of a sudden I was startled. “Hey Lavender” Said Adeline. “Hi Adeline. You scared me.” I said back, Adeline is my best friend. “Lavender, we have to go in, the bell is going to ring.” Adeline said nervously. “OK, let’s go.” I responded. Once we walked in I said bye to Adeline and she went the other direction as Mr.wells helped me to my locker. “How are you this

everyone has shorts t-shirts, anything to keep them cool. So of course Big Bob (as everyone calls him) is showing off his muscles by wearing a muscle shirt. He is going around his school making everyone get out of his way when he see the new kid named Billy. “Hey pipsqueak,” says Bob. “I heard you’re the new kid.” “ Um…. who are you?” Billy replied. “ and yes I am, why does it matter?” “ ‘cause you’re going to listen to what I say and do what I do!”Bob yelled. “Why is that?” Billy said. “I only listen

She was the best friend anyone could have, kind, compassionate you know the type. The ones you think will never leave you no matter what always by your side through thick and thin, the one that feels like they’re your lost sibling. We were so close for so many years, like sisters. We talked about everything, we shared so much always there for me helping me out the mud if you like, every time I was sad she wouldn’t leave me alone until I told her. We used to go on road trips down south then sleep

in his bedroom so he didn’t have to face the outside world because he was scared that he would be taken out by ninjas as well. The ninjas had taken Chloe to a deserted

able to get to the finish it wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t fast, but I did it. The next day it was a trip to the doctor and the X ray machine. I am thankful, it wasn’t broken as I feared. The bad news was that the ligaments were damaged. The news wasn’t what I wanted to hear but the

something different, something that no one would expect to become, but what I had in mind wasn’t what I was hoping for. It was nice out and Brandon and I had some unfinished business we needed to take care of. We got mad at each other earlier that day, got into a big fight and ended up messing up moms’ big day. On top of that, he blamed the whole thing on me which I can never forgive him for, but I can also never forget what happened to Brandon. We never got to go out much when we were younger, but

she would stand up for me and always be by my side. So I know that if she were my friend, she will always be with me to the end and that’s why I would choose her. Is the title a good one or a poor one? I think the title is a good

My Most Important Day The most memorable day in my life, I remember so clearly. It happened just this past summer and is still so fresh in my mind. I was on the upper level of our house, painting my sisters bedroom. The room was painted two colors. The upper part (that was split by the molding) was painted a white peach and the bottom a very light pink color. My whole body was covered in white and pink paint, and my back was starting to get stiff from all the hours I had been rolling and cutting

replied with an annoyed and tired tone. “Not until you tell me what the hell happened! And clean yourself up man” I really hated Tim’s abuse of drugs, especially Xanax. We usually do it together but only for a couple of months, until I started not remembering what I have done the day before. Tim is the kind of person who would do anything to get what he desires. Even if it means taking money from my wallet or pawning my electronic stuff. What made it even worse is that he is a natural born liar, who
