It’s as chilly as the artic in the morning at seven A.M. We had our bags already packed from last night. I’ve never been to Chicago neither has my brother we can’t wait. I love big cities like Chicago and my mom had told us some of the fun stuff we happend to be doing. In a half an hour we would head to the train. The clock is beating loudly I couldn’t hear anything but it. Once the car filled with our bags and some snacks, we took off. The car is packed with no were to move. About one hour later we arrived at the train that would take us to Chicago. It took a lot of waiting but the train finally stopped at our station. Most of the seats were already taken by people who got on before we did. I sat with my dad and my little brother sat with my mom. The sad thing was we didn’t get a window seat I really wanted to see the scenery. We got closer and closer until I could see huge buildings. Then errrrr! The brakes went. We made it to the Chicago train station. We walked off the train and my nose filled with the Chicago smell. Also I went deaf from the car horns. Theres no words it was beautiful. We saw skyscrapers, stores, birds, and a lot of people. We made our way to the hotel. It wasn’t that far but when we got there it wasn’t ready so we had to wait about two hours. Once it was ready It looked like lava from a volcano. The window was open and gives the best and worst view of the sun in the morning. “Time to get in the shower”. My mom yelled. Once we were done getting ready we walked out of the hotel and took a big whiff of the big city we were in. The smells are deadly but delightful. We saw a pizza place and got some Chicago pizza it’s was pretty cool and there was a lot of cheese. After that we went to a couple museum of dinosaurs and ancient animals. Once it was night we walked around to a McDonalds and got food. I loved to city at night it was so beautiful. The city looked like there was a million stars all over from the

    Chicago also has multiple arena and stadiums to attend sporting and concert events, including Wrigley Field, US Cellular Field, Soldiers Field, United Center, Rosemont Theatre, and The Chicago Theater. I also visited Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo on the lakefront, and Brookfield Zoo which is located Southwest of the city. If you want to spend time on Lake Michigan, there are many beaches for swimming, and piers for boating. I can honestly say that Chicago has a lot to offer. I never had a boring time. Of the many things I miss about not living in Chicago, one of them is the food. I love Chicago hot dogs, pizza, and Chinese cuisine. Chicago neighborhoods have multiple, family owned restaurants and hot dog stands. You have enormous menu choices from hamburgers, cheese fries, hand dipped ice cream and shakes, hot dogs, gyros, giant fried shrimp, Italian beef, and one of my favorites, the "Confused Chicken Sandwich". Chicago also has multiple family owned pizza "joints", such as Lou Malnati's, Gino's East, Old World, Home Run Inn, and my two favorites, Amato's Pizza and Giordano's. The best Chinese food I've ever tasted is made in

    I was sitting in a basement that smelled bad and was stuffy, I needed to get out of there. I was with my friend who liked to ride bikes. So, we decided to ride bikes. Outside we only had 1 normal bike, the other was an old bike with a banana seat on it. I lost a coin toss so I had to ride the trashy bike that had trouble even going straight. There was a trail down at the park where we would ride the bikes. We thought we would go there first and then go climb on playground after. At the very beginning of the trail there’s this difficult hill that goes pretty fast and shoots you right at a left turn. If you didn’t slow down and turn fast enough you would crash.

    It was the first time I ever rode in one so I wanted to make the experience a memorable one. That’s why I decided to ride in the passenger seat in the front with the driver, and not in the back with the rest of the family. While riding down the road, the driver turned on the radio station. This was the moment when I first heard the announcement of planes crashing into the Twin Towers. At this time, both the north and south towers of The World Trade Center had collapsed. There was no mention of a terrorist attack at this time, I did not hear about that part until later that day when we got home and saw it on the news. The vehicle was quite at this time, I think we were all in shock and disbelief. I remember seeing the driver have tears that dripped down his face. I really didn’t know the significance of the Twin Towers at the time, or why would anyone want to attack New York City. All I knew was that the person on the radio keep saying airplanes full of people crashed into the Twin Towers. When we got to the repast, everyone was talking about what happened, and their version of what they heard off of the radio. Some people were saying it was a plane that crashed into the World Trade Center, others were saying that it was a bombing. There were many different versions of what actually happened, floating around the room. There were so many different stories, until I started to

  • Modern Short Story Essay

    908 Words  | 2 Pages

    The traditional short story is a genre of a prose. It is a fiction work that presents a world in the moment of an unexpected change. The traditional short story obeys some rules, such as the unexpected change and major events with detail. The modern short story is a revolution which is based on the traditional short story. In other words, if the traditional short story is in the first floor, the modern short story is in the second floor. Therefore, the modern short story still obeys some rules that the traditional short story obeys, and breaks some rules that the traditional short story obeys. One rule that the modern short story still uses is the unexpected change. The rules broken by the modern short story are that the major events are not detailed, and that the border between the real world and the fiction world. This paper first talks about the unexcepted change and uses the examples of “Eveline” and “The Open Window.” Then, this paper talks about major events with detail, and uses the examples of “Lottery,” “The Open Window” and “Hills Like White Elephants.” Finally, this paper talks about the meta-literary and the border between the real world and the fiction
