Unforgettable

Everyone has unforgettable memories about what happened during their childhood. I have mine too. The house where I grew up was filled with a certain sweetness that gave me an unforgettable childhood. I lived with my grandparents since my mom worked in another city. There were few uncles, aunties and some cousins I loved that house because it provided shelter and rest just like a sanctuary. This house was unforgettable because of its composition, its memories and the firm foundation it establish for my life.

At first, the house stood on the corner of the street filled with flowers as a garden and smelled of candy. An old brick wall house built up for several decades. Located about 200 meters away from the Church, and 150 meters far from the public Library, which served of references. There was a lake at the end of the street, and the sunset directly behind it created a spectacular visual event. The place was quit and people only heard the sound of the bird. The house had two stairs with nine bedrooms and three bathroom. At the top floor, five bedrooms and two bathrooms. One kitchen, two storage rooms, a big living room at the bottom floor, four bedrooms, and one bathroom. The balcony, a peaceful area to study just like at the library. This house stood in the country which is Democratic Rep. of Congo.

Also, the house was full of memories, where family enjoyed company of each other. Just to enter the house means to leave all problem that happened all along the day behind. At this house, girls like boys prepared food, swept the land, or even clean their room and do the dishes without a thought of gender. When the time came to get up for school, we rushed to the bathroom so that the last person to get in was supposed to clean up. Sometimes, we wake up at night around 11pm to cook, and the youngest ones helped the older, but ended up deprived of food. The smell of spicy food comes from the kitchen every night, and that food tasted of

    Growing up as a child was very met morale and a sometimes fun other times not experience. Many memories are developed during your childhood but many memories are forgotten. Memories that are remembered are apart of who we are today an what makes us how we are. These memories and experiences tech us life lessons that we use without knowing it everyday.

    Separate but equal is the approach that my roommate and I took when we moved in. To keep things separate, her things are on the left and mine are on the right. The equal part comes in if one of us wants to use something of the others (such as a nail clipper or a hair tie.) This means that almost anything we own is open to use with permission. We decided that we didn't want to combine any of our things just yet because we didn't know each other that well. I believe it's a good idea because it will reduce the chance of an argument over whose things are whose. Girls seem to be pettier about their things than boys. Having two girls in such a small space can lead to unwanted confrontation and bitterness. I'm not a territorial person, but she may be and for that reason, separate but equal is definitely the best approach.…

    In this passage, Jamaica Kincaid articulates upon how foreign power vastly altered the lives of Antiguans, by affirming that they have been ripped away from their families and homeland. Kincaid uses word choice which exhibits her frustration toward the Antiguans, who cheers at “some frumpy, wrinkled-up person passing by in a carriage waving at the crowd.” Kincaid juxtaposes Antiguans to orphans to further relate her feelings about the people of Antigua. To create a harsh tone consisting tragedy and misery, Kincaid uses heavy words and juxtaposition, as well as syntax. Through her word choice and literary devices Kincaid offers the readers insight on her feelings toward the Antiguan society.…

    I moved into my home when I was about 4. They house we used to live in was going to be too small once me and my sister, Mira, got older. I was very sad that we were leaving the house I had lived in my whole life. I had many fond memories for it, such as my dad building a playing structure for me and my sister. I remember thinking that I had a say in which house we were going to buy, and I thought that I had a part in making such an important decision, which I know now is preposterous, but I felt proud to be making choices. I remember missing my old house, with the play house that my dad made, and the stairs up to my bedroom, which seemed so tall. This new house had no stairs. I remember meeting our new neighbors, Manny, who really like vintage pinball machines…

    It had beautiful, old ironwork surrounding the verandah, and dark green paint on the doors (Campbell). We toured the house jumping at every random sound because we were afraid of ghosts. The décor of the home was exquisitely decorated in the time period of the house (Campbell). When we finished our self-guided tour we walked out to stand on the verandah and admire the view. It was dark outside and nobody was in the home so we decided to spend the night here. We found two beds and quickly fell asleep.…

    Most if not all of my memories came from her house. We had many memories in that house and I loved every single one, including the dreadful ones. I remember aimlessly wandering late at night through the itchy, insect filled trail behind her house, where we lay on the dewy grass for hours staring at the stars. I remember ignorant arguments we had over things such as “which cup of coffee is mine?”, “or you forgot to bring it again?”, but within ten minutes, we would forgive each other and be rejoicing again. The memories that brought me the most joy were the most mischievous ones. I…
