One responsibility that I had to take on was very tough for me. I have a dog named Maggie Lou, that my mom and dad took care of. I didn't think it was very hard, but sadly, I was wrong. On one normal day my mom and dad said, “you have to take care of Maggie.” Then after I said “how hard could it be?” Like really how hard could it be. It turned out to be pretty hard, I wish I didn't have to do this. This was very hard for me, you might think it's easy, but believe me it's not. She is scared of men because her old owner was a man and he abused her. The scary part for Maggie is that she was going to the pound, but we saved her. Every morning I wake up, feed, and give water to Maggie. Most of the time I am the first one to get back to my house so when I get home I do the same thing, feed her and give her water. One day my cousin came to my house, and we went outside with Maggie and played catch with one of her toys. Also, Maggie likes to run and I tried to race her and it didn't turn out so good. She turned and came up behind me and jumped on me and I fell, my cousin could not stop laughing. When we got inside Maggie drunk all her water, so I had to fill her bowl up. …show more content…
So my mom and dad wanted another boxer so we got Maggie. Before we saved Maggie my dad, sister, and I all wanted a dog so my mom brought us to go get Maggie for our christmas gift (we were all excited). When we got back Maggie was very excited and she was jumping and licking me, but that night she ripped up everything. When we got up my mom and dad were very mad at her. Since it was only her first night my mom and dad were not that mad, but that day we went to the store and bought a cover for our couch so it would not happen again. Then when I was watching Kickin It, Maggie could not stop licking
There are many things which contributed to Maggie’s ultimate downfall and demise. At the end of the Novella, Maggie dies and it was because of the pressure that the tenement put forth on her. People, religion, expectations, traditionalism are all things that led to her downfall and
In the beginning of the story, Maggie is described as an innocent person, “The girl, Maggie, blossomed in a mud puddle. She grew to be a most rare and wonderful production of a tenement district, a pretty girl. None of the dirt of Rum Alley seemed to be in her veins” (18). The use of the words “mud” and “dirt” depicts the dirtiness of the Rum Alley neighborhood. Despite all this, Maggie still “blossomed”. She is kind to her siblings and takes care of Tommie and Jimmie. For instance, she begins crying when she sees that Jimmie has been fighting and hugs him when he is scared of their parents, “She grasped the urchin’s arm in her little trembling hands and they huddled in the corner” (14). However, as the book progresses, Maggie becomes more susceptible to physicality. We see this by the way she falls in love with Pete. To begin with, she falls in love with Pete at first sight, “His mannerisms stamped him as a man who had a correct sense of personal superiority” (20). However, he is physical just like everyone else. Jimmie and Pete brag about their fights, “Say, I jes’ jumped deh bar an’ deh way I plunked dat blokie was great” (21). Also, the first thing he says to Maggie is, “Say, Mag, I’m stuck on yer shape. It’s outa sight” (22). Pete cares about Maggie’s body which also shows his physical nature. Overtime, Maggie also becomes physical. First of all, she begins thinking about Pete’s wealth, “As she had seen him twice and he
Maggie is an undeniably insecure girl. She lacks any self-confidence and is very quiet. She doesn’t speak her mind very much, and this is because of her insecurities. Maggie’s insecurities stem from her sister, Dee. Dee had many things that Maggie never had. Dee was beautiful and had an education, things Maggie had always wanted. Maggie lacks confidence because she lived in her sister’s shadow her entire life.
Maggie is not liked much in the book as she is so bossy and stubborn.
Maggie is one of the daughters in the story. She is described as being like a lame animal, she walks with her "chin on chest, eyes on ground, and feet in shuffle" (Walker 87). Her mother gives the impression that Maggie is ashamed of the burn scars down her arms and legs that the fire left her with. Maggie is the younger of the two daughters. It seems as though she is still very naive and gullible. Maggie is uneducated like her mother and her lack of education has a lot to do with her character. Mama is able to persuade and control Maggie because she does not know any better. Maggie is seen as being a sweet, well behaved young lady. Possibly that is just Mama's favoritism between the girls showing through. Maybe Maggie really is that way, but we only know what we can perceive from Mama's story.
Sophia Garcia was a 14-year-old freshman who cared about her family, the latest season of Friends, and the Patriots. Being in a household with six athletic brothers, from a young age Sophia had the experience of playing numerous sports, her favorite being football. Unfortunately, her high school only offered football for boys, and in return, offered cheerleading for girls. However, Sophia craved to play for her high school football team. Upon telling her friends, they immediately rejected the idea of even her trying out, yet alone, being part of the football team as they joked that females can’t play aggressive sports.
She is like something parenthetical and mute, incapable of making herself heard. And she dresses like a child, wearing a "stupid little hat -- a kid's hat with ear flaps." She isn't much taller than Twyla and Roberta. The older girls exploit Maggie's vulnerability, mocking her. Even Twyla and Roberta call her names, knowing she can't protest and half-convinced she can't even hear
This culminates in one moment where Maggie’s mother comes back from drinking. Jimmie has to drag her in, and the two fight, with Maggie hidden in another room (Crane 977). In all that destruction, Pete comes, and tells Maggie “Come out wid me! We’ll have a hell of a time” (Crane 978). Maggie has a choice: go with Pete, or stay.
Hershel also taught Maggie to be honest and loyal. Her loyalty shows when Rick shows up to the farm with Carl. Her level-headedness helps her stay strong and aware during hard times for her, especially when she lost the love of her life, Glenn, who was also the father to her unborn child, to an evil man named Negan. Negan is on Maggie’s revenge list for not only herself, but the group.
While Maggie is brown-skinned and dark-haired, Lucy, her cousin, is her contrary: "It was like the contrast between a rough, dark, overgrown puppy and a white kitten" (58). And the appearance influences the character: everybody is satisfied with Lucy and that is why Lucy is satisfied with herself. Maggie on the contrary is viewed as almost an idiot in her effort to be admired and loved.
I called my Dad and once again, begged for a dog. But this time-- he actually said yes. I had no idea what the puppies looked like or how old they were. All I knew is that one of them were going to be mine. We drove to the lady’s house and she brought out a small black dog.
Alley's Story I grew up with animals. There was never a time in my life that I did not have at least three cats and two dogs. Sometimes, when the barn still stood on my neighbor's property, my mom would start working with another lady and they'd rescue the ferals, get them fixed, and find them homes. Whenever that happened, we'd end up with fifteen or twenty cats sometimes. Now, I have a cat I credit with saving my life. Here's Alley's story. When I got engaged and moved away from home, I had no furry pets. We couldn't really afford them. I had a few tarantulas and they were very enjoyable but it just wasn't the same as a cuddly, furry cat or dog. My fiancee would remind me that we could barely afford to feed ourselves, let alone another mouth,
Yesterday I had told every kid in the neighborhood about my new gecko. I was so excited that went door to door asking people if they wanted to come and take a look. Almost everybody in the neighborhood was going to come over except for Izzy. Izzy was one of the most sassiest person I had ever met. And when I asked her she said she wouldn't. But I had a feeling she would come and it could only mean trouble. Big trouble.
Being a teenager my mother explained having a pet was a great responsibility somehow I was frustrated she didn’t understand my passion and love for dogs! Nothing in the world would convince her to let us get one. She claimed I can have a turtle if I desperately wanted to have a pet. I couldn’t agree.
The day Mom got Sugar was somewhat frightening for me. Obviously, I wanted nothing to do with the dog, I never planned to be in the same room as the dog, much less, take care of the dog. After all, Mom was supposed to take care of the dog. Slowly, I fell in love with her. She looked stern and loving. Her warm, brown eyes and pearly white smile only helped me fall in love with her. Not long after that I started to enjoy her company. Sugar was a loyal dog, she wanted to please everyone. When we went for a walk Sugar would come with us. We kept her on a leash, yet she never strayed from us.
