722 Words3 Pages

It Became That Moment
It became that death defying moment, the moment I never thought would become reality. I started to talk my worst enemy; Connor Streek. I was very chubby and couldn’t do a lot, I was very bad at sports and overall a big huge dobber. Connor and I used to always fight and scream across the classroom just to get the better of us.
After we started talking he seemed cooler than I thought, we started to hang out and ride our rusty cheap scooters. I started to like him because we had a lot in common, but he was very complicated because he could never handle situations when he was being laughed at.

I started making jokes about him, but he never liked it one bit, he would even react with violence because he was so annoyed with him not being the dominant one anymore.
He wouldn’t take the jokes, so I slowed myself down and thought about how and why he was making the jokes. All along he was just trying to impress all his friends, I tried to understand but all the memories just came flowing back.

    The topic of birth is an interesting one and is explicitly found in the book, The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down. There was a vivid difference between the Hmong traditional practices and the way Lia was born. It is to each and every ones own opinion to think and have a take on the differing birth practices.

    A Lesson Before Dying Review Nine several weeks ago I finished reading through A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines. I initially gave it a four-star rating since i felt it had been missing in showing Jefferson’s side from the story. For those who have never read A Lesson Before Dying, the storyline is all about a youthful guy who had been in prison for killing a liquor store owner throughout a robbery and it was performed. Jefferson is really a youthful guy who 's referred to to be “slow” and who follows two teenagers in to the liquor store.
