Chapter six- a look in the mirror When I look in the mirror, I see myself. I see a fourteen-year-old boy with no complication or depth. But I have to describe myself with depth to really illustrate what kind of person I am.
Starting from top to bottom, I have deep, deep brown hair that is 2 and ½ inches long, which I am trying to grow out. I have curvy ears and deep brown eyes with a small nose and not much acne. My teeth are one of the personal parts of me as I have mentioned before in other chapters. It has intrigued me since I grew them in. There is about a one-centimeter gap between my incisors (or my two front teeth). People have asked me all my life if I was/am going to get braces which makes me very irritated. Though the question about

My moral code is basically don’t offend anyone. But also, be open minded to other things.
I enjoy reading. It's what occupied me in my elementary school life. I just got into comic books which I enjoy, though I can’t name my favorite. My favorite book is a feast for dragons by George R.R Martin. A pet peeve that I have about reading is when people cannot read in their head, people who spoil books, and people who spoil books wrong by saying he/she dies in the end.
I can't say what my favorite show is because I have so many I will just describe them by genre. My favorite action and adventure show would be Game of Thrones. My favorite comedy would be the Big Bang Theory. My favorite dramas are Daredevil and Jessica Jones. I really like science fiction, so I have many. They are the Flash, the Arrow, and Agents of Shield. My favorite anime is Attack on Titan and Naruto; and my favorite family show is blackish. Some TV shows really rile me up. I hate it when they rip another show off, or when they change around the plot. What I hate is when they make shows more dramatic than they
My parents have always stressed the importance of reading. Throughout my whole life, they have motivated me to read and they have encouraged me to find books that I find interesting to read. Because of their encouragement, I am an avid reader today. When I was a child, just starting to enjoy reading I liked to read books that were fiction. Some of my favorite books to read as a child are series that I still love today and I think I still have every book in each series stored in my attic. They are The Boxcar Children, Junie B. Jones, and The Magic Tree House.
I am positively in love with books. I love the feeling that I am having a conversation with the author. One of my favorite books, Looking for Alaska by John Green, generates that emotion every time I open it. Its ambiguous nature allows me to discover something new each time, like I am uncovering a new layer of a dear friend with every turn of the page.
So, who am I? Should I describe the person I see when I look in the mirror or the person I am working to become? The person I am changes with each new experience, with every person who enters or exits my life, and with how I handle the challenges placed before me. So, the person I am, that is something I will spend the rest of my life discovering.
Reading is not something I look forward to, I do not like reading much,when I heard we had to read a book , I wanted to read a book that appealed to me.My main subject in school is history. I have always been amused by history, that includes, World history and U.S history, but I focus more on World History. One event in History that interests me and I find important is The Holocaust. I find the event as a big catastrophe that means a lot and teached us a lot.
A lesson that I learned for good. When I was five years old and the year it was 2005. Me and my mother were home like any other day. It was a Monday morning and everyone left the house except for me and my mother. The reason why we were the only ones left is, because my sister was at the age where she could go to school. As for my father well he’s the man of the house so he has to go to work.
For the past two years my dad and I have gone down to Kentucky in late October. My dad’s side of the family owns some land down there and they are good friends with the people who own the plot of land next to us. He usually lets us hunt on his land, and in turn we let him hunt on ours. My dad and I usually go down a Friday evening after school, and get there later that night. We spend the weekend at my Great Uncle’s house. When we get there we unload the things that we will need for in the morning, and we head straight to bed.
When I was younger, I was interested in reading. I loved leisure reading and used to get different books from the library at least once a week. As I have grown older, I read dramatically less and reading is more irritating. I hate reading and sometimes get annoyed when I have reading assignments in class. Through the years, there were readings that I was forced to read and did not enjoy. It has turned me off from reading for the most part. I know that reading is something that is important, but I also know that it is something that I hate doing most of the time.
Personal Narrative: The World The world is a messed up place and we are all stuck here until our lives are through, or until we choose to leave. It's strange that I go along with everything everyone tells me, such as that I should wear certain clothes or listen to certain songs. I often wonder why I do the things I do, but then I just realize that's who I am. People are confused about why they are here, and they don't understand what life is supposed to be about.
Reading is one of the most important skills to have in your life. Whether it is reading Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss or reading War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy, it benefits you. Everything you read causes you to think and use your brain. I personally am not the biggest fan of reading, but I do believe that it is a crucial skill needed to be successful. The world of reading is a very large and diverse.
Summer vacation, and school ends for about three months, and then you have as much fun as you can, then back to school… right? Well I had to go to summer school, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Everything was going fine, I had a job after summer school, and that was going fine as well. They say that summer is supposed to be fun and exciting, and it usually is for me and my family. However in July my father started coughing up blood. My father usually doesn’t make it his top priority to go to the doctors, so he waited about four weeks until he really didn’t feel good.
I read because it brings me pleasure and because I never want to stop learning. Recently I have been reading a lot of multicultural women's literature and Victorian medical textbooks.
Reading always became tiresome to me. We had a reading block in class everyday. The reading block was to make us read fifteen minutes straight a day. Ms. Peshca, my seventh grade teacher, ensured that the class would read. I never read the books until we started reading The Hunger Games.
My relationship with books and reading has not been the greatest adventure for me thus far. I will not say that all my experience has been terrible but for the most part not that great. I know for me it started when I was little and unfortunately it has carried to my adulthood.
Let me get this straight: I LOVE books. I adore books. Books are my life and reading good books is one of the few reasons that make my life worth living.
Personally, I consider myself as an adoring, kind-hearted and determined person. I’m respectful and caring to everyone around me. I pursue my goals to the end and I never rest until I accomplish them. I 'm confident that my companions would depict me as a compassionate and kind individual. I believe others see me as a steadfast individual who is obliging of others. They would also consider me competitive since I am aggressive when in pursuit of a target. My coworkers think of me as a problem solver, because I am very logical. I am also humble and generous. I love to give back to those in need. My friends view me as a free spirit, creative and imaginative person. They also see me as being very sociable and outgoing. I’m huge
