Victor is a boy who tries to impress a girl and gain her attention. For example, Victor wanted to be like all of the other boys and make the girls like him, so he tried scowling and he felt unwise. A quote from the text that proves that my topic sentence is true is, “On the way to his homeroom, Victor tried to scowl, he felt foolish.” This quote means Victor doesn’t think that any of the girls are interested in him as much as they are to his friends, so he thinks that he needs to change his actions to make the girls like him. Another sentence of what this quote means is, Victor feels like when he tried to scowl that it felt very unusual to him and he felt embarrassed. My second piece of evidence from when

A time that someone had a single story about me is when I had seen a childhood friend after four months of not meeting them. It was the first months of our ninth grade year and we didn’t attend the same school so when she had asked me what school I attended and I had answered her “ I attend Arlington Collegiate High School.” That's when I saw her face change to an exiled and questioning face my childhood friend had said something that made me feel two emotions “Oh to that smart people school?”.
Most stories have a conflict within them, and most of them have winners. In the story “Seventh Grade”, the main conflict is internal. An internal conflict occurs within a person’s mind. While on the other hand, in the story “Melting Pot” the main conflict is external, which takes place between groups of people.
The first day of school came earlier than I anticipated. Summer vacation sadly soon came to an end. On the morning of August, I arrived to my school. The only thing visible that I was excited for, was the enormous playground
I was sitting on the grass at Kemper Elementary School with four of my closest friends we were waiting patiently lock n’ loaded with water guns sitting at our sides waiting for the teachers to get outside and all of the other student's. When the rest of the teacher’s and student's got outside the student's grabbed their water guns and went to the other side of my friends and I. It was field day.
My last year of middle school. The first two feel like they zoomed past me. Next year, I’ll be a freshman. I hope high school doesn’t go as fast as middle school has. Next thing I know, I’ll be in College.
I was sitting at my desk inside if my third grade classroom that was full with many students. I sat right next to my friend Eric. The teacher, Mrs. Cooksey had put four desks together so that it could make one big table. I sat with two other girls and Eric. Eric was on my right side and one of the girls who is named Yesenia sat in front of me and Keristy sat in front of Eric. We were all working on multiplication problems on a worksheet that Mrs. Cooksey handed out to us. As we were working Eric asked me a question.
Throughout the book we are able to see that at a very young age the the little uglies were reinforced that they were ugly that that by the time they turn 16 years old it was expected from them to be operated and turn pretty. I was also able to see that through a very young age they were engrave that when they turn 16 they would be living the desired and comfortable live.
