Personal Narrative- Transformation from Child to Teenager Sometimes at night, when it is so dark the darkness becomes almost smothering, I lie awake listening to the cars outside and the endless crying of the baby next door. I think back through my life, to try and comfort me into restful sleep. I remember summers from my junior high school days. The images are yellow, orange, warm, and happy. Endless summer vacations, the sun almost unbearable with its cruel heat. A time when swimwear wasn’t

Cathy was born with an innocent look that fooled many; she had golden blond hair, hazel eyes, a thin and delicate nose, and a small chin to make her face look heart shaped. According to the town Cathy lived, Cathy had a scent of sweetness, but that is just what Cathy wanted the town to see and think when Cathy planned her

old, he sure knows a lot about everything; and I don’t necessarily like that. His muddy blue eyes and strawberry blonde hair just makes me jealous. Me, I have brown eyes and black “luxurious” hair. If you asked me, I wished my hair was strawberry blond just like my mom’s hair. Instead, I’m the outsider with the strange hair. And about my parents, their conversation usually goes like this: “Oh George, look at this magnificent statue. It was an excellent idea to go to the Louvre,” my mom comments.

He was dressed in a red shirt hanging over black jeans, had a beard, and very pale face. She shone like a lamp beside him. He watched them
murder of over six million Jewish people, and long with eleven million more who didn’t fit the perfect picture. Hitler’s idea of the “Perfect Race” was very simple, blonde hair and blue eyes. Hitler thought that blond hair and blue eyes meant power and leadership.

But there were many problems with that. Not everyone in Germany looked like that
Lysander and the Whiskey Once upon a time, in a thick enchanting evergreen forest, lived a young man. He was tall but scrawny and his skin was a deep chestnut from spending his life with nature. His hair was assumed brown, but it was soaked in so much filth that it could be a red or even a blonde color. It was summertime and the lad was relaxing on a hammock he built with willow tree branches. His mouth spread open slowly and his chest rose as he breathed in a deep, lazy yawn. He stretched
The sky is darkening with the upcoming storm, and I can smell the rain as the lightning dances across the sky. Thunder roars in the distance; I quicken my pace down the street for fear of the storm. I cling tightly to bundle of books I hold my hands, my house is still far away. It’s better to be away from that place. I stare at the pavement as the water pours down from the sky; within moments I find myself on the ground I look up to meet the blue eyes from an unfamiliar face. He kneels down next
Cold. Everything was wet and cold. The streets were flooded, London was completely under water; people, families, homeless from the flooding. Many were unable to even walk across the water; it was too high for them to touch the floor. It had been raining for three weeks and the Thames over flowed during the middle of the second week, which caused the entire city to be flooded. It was interesting to see so many people who were used to having somewhere to live walk the streets hungry and cold. I have
Misunderstanding Women As many of you women may know, men have a lot of misconceptions about us beautiful yet complicated creatures.

I close my locker the same time, Luxora runs over and jumps on me. I know this might sound bad but, she's the only Asian I know that's as ditzy and boy crazy as a stereotypical blonde. I don't exactly know how we became friends, but maybe I'm just losing my memory. She gossips about boys and shoes as she pulls me to French.

At last, the day had come! A surely magical night for all teenagers Taylor’s age, her first high school dance. It seemed any moment she would burst with anticipation and joy.

My family has been a foster home since the middle of my eighth grade year. We hadn’t had kids until everything changed October 30, 2012, my freshman year of high school. It was a regular school day, everyone talking about their Halloween plans, what parties they were going to, and who was "too old" to trick or treat.
