The Sanctuary of the Family Cabin The TV in my room blares the sounds of some show in which I am not even interested. There is too much on my mind for me to worry about the show on television. "I need money. I need a job. My car needs gas. What am I going to do when school starts this fall? My life is going downhill. I need to get away." Just before my mind explodes, my father comes in and says, "Let's go to the cabin." That is exactly what I have needed. My family's cabin has been

I was about ten years old and in the fifth grade. My mother had just picked me up from school that day and had bought me some delicious popcorn. I could not wait to get home to pop my popcorn, and we lived all the way in Rose Hill, Alabama. I was getting pretty restless by the time we got home. So we got home and I went directly to the big, black microwave. I put it in, and began pressing the buttons. It was popping and popping, and the buttery smell was getting to me. My mother said that she had
Observe a Sixth Grade English Class at Bain Middle School I observe at Roosevelt Middle School, which is in River Forest, in Mrs. Braun’s sixth grade English class on Tuesdays in the morning. As I have observed, I have noticed that the classroom is student-centered.

I wake up in a waiting room. Six blue seats on either side of the room lined perfectly. I’m in the one farthest to the entrance of the room, I am the only one here. I look to my side to see an old stereo on a coffee table with a trashcan underneath. A door leading to a bathroom is next to the table. This whole place seems odd, how did i get here? what am i doing here? The room is lit with fluorescent bulbs, cheap floating ceiling is everywhere along with white walls and a carpeted floor. the sound
bedrooms a reality for families (Lewis, par 12). Many families opt for their children to double up out of necessity, although shared bedrooms can benefit siblings. Nevertheless, some families may experience a few bumps on their way to room sharing success. Shared room arrangements work well in the early years and with siblings of the same gender.

other three children were doing their chores and I noticed Trinity was out of my sight. I went to the living room, looking for her but she was not there. Then I proceeded to the family room and glanced outside the window to see if she was in the back-yard playing outside. Finally, I decided to check her room, that’s her favorite place where she can create her imagination. I ambled towards her room and the door slightly open; I peeked in to see what she was doing.

herself to sleep, since her family had forgotten her birthday. The numerous pillows surrounded her petite frame making a mounded fortress. The fifteen year old Skylar rolled off her goose quilted bedspread, then sashayed her way into the stately Living room of the Suite. She found the bar refrigerator stocked with iced water bottles, and took one big gulp. Dang, she hated that freeze feeling in her brain. She frantically rubbed her forehead to end the cold sensation, only to have her black hair become

walking round the kitchen looking for what to stuff my mouth with for the moment, “Yes, he should be in the room”, it is both their room and my mum always made sure she never personalized it as his or hers. I still do not know the reason for that “Okay, thanks”, “And tell him the food will be ready soon”, my mum shouted as I was already walking towards my parents’ room. I went into the room, greeted my dad, talked a little about school and the things I did. We quickly ran out of things to talk about
