t was the first of June. The sun was shining brightly and there was the flavor of joy, happiness, and vacations in the air. I breathed it and truly felt how my body overwhelmed with the freedom and desire to move the mountains in the pursuit of great vacations. I planned my summer holidays during the whole year, and I knew for sure that it had to be a marvelous time spent with friends, ocean, sunshine, fresh fruits, and disco parties. My mother has changed everything that day. She decided that charity was the best thing, which I could do in the summer, and enrolled me to the special program, aimed at attending the elderly homes and assisting senior people there. Saying that I was disappointed is nothing. I was truly furious, because it meant that I would be obliged to spend half of the week helping some old grannies. This activity was not included in my summer to-do list. I felt rage because during the whole year I worked a lot to pass the exams, to receive excellent marks and to get the appreciation of teachers. I did everything I was told to, and as a result, obtained the punishment in the form of geriatric homes visiting. Today, I understand that it was God’s blessing. It was a chance to look at my life from a different angle and to understand its gist and essence. However, at that time, I considered myself to be the victim of my mother’s cruelty. My first visits of the geriatric home did not make any impression on me. Old wrinkled people were sitting and chatting about
One Crazy Summer is about three girls, the Gaither sisters, Delphine, Fern, and Vonetta, who go from Brooklyn to Oakland and spend a month with their mother they barely know. Upon meeting their mother, a dedicated poet and printer, they arrive to a stucco house and a cold welcome. However, they make the most out of it by going on insane adventures, like meeting mean lady Ming and going to a Black Panther summer camp for breakfast but staying after for the lessons. Fern is the youngest; she carried a little white doll around wherever she went until her older sister Vonetta colored it all black. The middle child, Vonetta, is a showy girl who loves attention, but when it is too much her older sister Delphine always puts her in her place. The oldest,
To follow a life of success, happiness, and fulfillment will always begin by observing ourselves, from finding inner peace, figuring out your purpose, and pursuing it through hard work with the passion to commit in to our goal that will shape up our life. Without persistence and hard work it is impossible to succeed. A life without direction could lead to a path of uncertainty and without contentment. Also a life without inner peace is a life without true happiness.

The short sci-fi story All Summer in A Day by Ray Bradbury is about being treated as an outcast and reveals the alienating effects that it may have. Sometimes this treatment is brought on by others. In this case, Margot is treated in this harsh manner because she isn’t the same as her classmates and they desire to have the life experiences that she has. Being outcast may not be the only main theme for this story in each reader’s mind. All Summer in A Day provides a multitude of possible themes. This may be the case, however, the children’s physical and emotional abuse of Margot is extreme and justifies this theme. As the time draws nearer for the sun to rise, Margot’s classmates become more brash and crue and at that moment, Margot is exponentially different from the other children in hr class. This concept of being outcast and
500 days of summer is a story where a boy meets a girl, he falls in love with her yet she does not truly love him. The movie shows the progression of the relationship of Tom and Summer. It begins when they first meet when Summer begins working as a secretary where Tom works and progresses to them casually dating. Summer is obviously hesitant and against relationships yet Tom is overly eager to find the perfect girl. The story ultimately shows the demise and after effects of their relationship. At first thought anyone could think this is the typical love story where the movie casually progresses to them living happily ever after. This is not that kind of fairy tale love story.
The short story “All Summer In A Day” by Ray Bradbury describes how in planet Venus there is rain non-stop and the sun only comes out once in a day every seven years. Margot used to live on planet Earth, so she has felt and seen the sun before. The students “hated her pale snow face, her waiting silence, her thinness, and her possible future.” (Bradbury, 1954). To begin, the author uses craft moves to show the theme to show how Margot’s classmates were jealous. Using descriptive words, Bradbury gives a clear visual of the events of the children bullying Margot. The author uses similes to describe sun. “It’s like a fire, in the stove.” The jealousy of the children on Venus caused them to treat Margot poorly; this is shown
But the summer after ninth grade made me rethink my options. My best friend’s dad was in charge of a summer camp for underprivileged children. He needed some junior counselors for the week, so we volunteered to help; we wouldn’t mind
As each day of summer was flying by, I got so excited to work on my summer agenda. My family and I had so many things planned out. I got to choose where to go. I wanted to choose somewhere I could enjoy my time with my family. A congregating time for my family and consuming so much time so that it was a family wholeness
My summer was different than my typical normal summers. I spent my time going from Yankton, South Dakota to Winner, South Dakota. My parents had a busy schedule this summer so they decided to send me with some family. Although my aunt wanted me to be there, she always sent me home after a week or two. It wasn’t enough time to really do anything.
Summer looks at the car in front with fear, gradually loosening the steering wheel and looking around in panic. The glare of the sunlight shining on her face, she is frightened by the man who keeps knocking the window. Just out of the car, her body is filled with dizziness. Through the reflection of the car window, Summer stares at herself that she has never seen herself before, mature makeup look, the white dress and the regular hair style.
Over Summer break, I broke my hip, I Couldn't walk nor get up from bed. While I was stuck in bed, I couldn't hang out with any of my friends. So I had my turtle in my room. He didn't do much, he just kinda looked at me and waited for me to feed him. It was hard to feed him because I couldn't get up. I had to reach over to the turtle feed, and throw his food into the tank.
It was a gorgeous summer day. the sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the world was at peace on the seemingly carefree sunday afternoon. church had just ended and the children ran fast and free ready to play. They ran two and twelve towards the town’s lake to go swimming, in order to ward off the heat of the noon sun. They stampeded through town bumping over numerous people and even one another to reach the cool blue waves. The menacing multitude took a sharp turn from the street to an old dusty road. The trees shook in the evening breeze and swayed slightly further when the children hurried by. Dust faintly clouded out the light that poured over the path. Finally they reached the dock and began to take off and swap clothes. The boys took off their shirts and pants and swam in their underwear, while the girls chose to go behind some nearby bushes.and exchange out their attire. When everyone was in they started to splash one another while laughing and shouting. A few of them dived under the water to search for fish and other sea life. When they came back, up two of them had seaweed, one held a starfish, and two others had a crab holding it by both sides. It was getting a little later in the day, but the kids were not quite yet ready to leave their fun to rest. They decided to play hide and seek even though the sun was beginning to make its descent behind the green curtains that were the distant hills. One child counted while everyone hid and waited. As he counted out
The first summer living in our own home was a time of personal fulfillment. Mom did not approve of the American School System’s three month holiday during the summer, deeming too much unsupervised idle time as an opportunity for Ellen and me to get into mischief while she and Oma worked, therefore, as in the previous two summers, Mom enrolled us in Summer School.
My mom, my brother, and I decided we wanted to go on vacation. It was our first family vacation and we decided we wanted to go to Florida, where we used to live. My mom has a friend named Gigi who lives in Tampa, Florida and she said we could stay at her house for that week.
The most eventful thing that I have done this summer was to go and visit the Indianapolis Zoo. I had a really great time especially in hindsight. There were tons of amazing animals and I got to see some relatives of mine. It was a very long and eventful day even more so when you compare it to the rest of my summer. I’d even go as far to say the drive there and back alone was enough to make this the most eventful day of the summer!
