Melinda's Thali A Short Story
Hi, Melinda, it’s Thalia how are you? Last time I saw you were not speaking. I need you to trust me and tell me what happened to you that day at the party. I am aware that everyone is blaming you for calling the police. I’m sure that if you called the police it was for a good reason. Speak to me, I promise I won't say anything to your parents or your so-called friends. Remember how close we were before this incident happened we would always tell each other everything. I am very sorry that my parents moved me to Manhattan. Moreover, living in Manhattan is nothing like living in Syracuse. I am able to walk outside at any time and find a place to eat. Even the weather is different I don’t know how is that even possible but it is. We actually

    Thalia Grace Research Paper

    Thalia Grace, or just Thalia, since she doesn’t like using her last name, is one of the children of the Big Three. Who are the Big Three, you ask? Well, they are the top most powerful gods in Olympus: Zeus, lord of the sky, Poseidon, lord of the sea, and Hades, lord of the Underworld. You must be thinking, ‘Thalia Grace? I never heard of her. Is she a minor goddess?’ This is because Thalia is a fictional character from Rick Riordan’s national bestseller series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians. She is purely make-believe, a character from the mind and imagination of the author himself. She isn’t the main character of the book, but she plays an important role. But, nobody really knows a lot about her. Who is Thalia Grace?…

    Personal Narrative: Southern Paterson

    Born and raised in South Paterson, I wouldn’t ask for anything better. As I walk down the block I notice how people that come from around the world can get along in such a small city. I would see people representing their ethnicity, backgrounds, religion, and even their traditions in many ways. From the flags being hung up and to the candles and Christmas trees that are lit; I enjoyed watching fellow friends and neighbors of mine knowing that they are proud of their own race. Coming from a busy city, I always called it the “glimpse of New York”. People view New York as a place where it’s full of activity. Correspondingly, the streets of Paterson are the same. Commencing the overcrowded produce markets and the NJ transits stopping at every…

    Significant Place

    Brooklyn, New York is a very capacious city. My favorite thing to do there is shop. When I go shopping, I often enjoy seeing the enormous crowds in the downtown area which lets me know I am in New York. I try to ignore the rambunctious sounds coming from the cars, buses, people and trains because Brooklyn is a very large city which means there’s going to be a lot of noise coming from everywhere. When I go downtown, a very distinct aroma often hits me which I think only I can smell. I just love the fresh scent of downtown; the scent is as fresh as the smell of roses; very obsessive. Also, when I am downtown, I frequently visit a deli called Lawry’s to get me a hero which is something like a sandwich but only better. The taste of it is very addictive which leaves me wanting more and more. I just love Brooklyn and I doubt anywhere else can replace it.…

    NARATIVE ESSAY ABOUT A Birthday Party

    On the March fourth, 2002; I was invited to a birthday party of a very close friend of mine. The beginning of the party was slow and not too much was going on at that time but there was a lot of food, which kept me entertained; there was, pizza, 6 foot tuna sub sandwiches, cake, ice cream and a bunch of other food and I ate a lot. There was really not that much meat served at the party because it was still during Lint- a religious holiday were, except for fish, Catholics stop eating meat for 40 days and 40 nights. Mandy, the beautiful birthday girl made us feel very welcome and tried to keep us entertained; she also said repeatedly, "The party will get better after dark when some people leave." The party started getting interesting, to me, when the piñata came out and the little kids were not allowed to swing. After the piñata some of the older people started leaving and two other annoying teenagers, around our age, who kept on ruining the fun also left; so after they all left the real party started. Inside of a shed in the back yard there were flashing lights that made everything seemed slow motion and we cranked the music up loud enough to hold a concert and since the house was out in the country no one complained about anything and the police never came for D.T.P, Disturbing the Peace. Everyone danced until knees started collapsing on the floor, drunken people passed out on anything available and until the D.J was to drunk to play; the party wasn't over until about 5:00 in the morning; menudo was served the next…

Before we left for the party at Andrew’s, we promised that we would watch over each other.I pulled on the side of the road because Andrew’s driveway was already packed.We walked inside to find someone we knew.As i turned the corner I ran smack into the backside of Andrew and Tony. They both turned around ready to scream and cuss. They saw that is was me and they calmed down.I apologized over and over.Andrew chuckled and told me it was an accident.”Do y’all want something to drink?” We said “Sure, but nothing too strong.”I was handed a solo cup with something real potent in it. As the liquid went down my throat I got a warm feeling.I told Simone not to drink too much because she will end up getting sick.We had so much fun at the party, we played beer pong and we just had fun. As the night progressed I tired not to drink too much even though we had a designated driver. Simone on the other hand was throwing shots back with the encouragement of Tony.I was worried about her cause she doesn't drink like that.Out the corner of my eye i saw Simone trying to come towards me and Tony yanked her back to him. I went over and told Simone to come on because we were leaving. Tony demanded she stay with him and he will drive her home. I tried to beg and plead with her but she wouldn't come.My friends and I waited till Tony and Simone left so we could follow them. We were following them and Tony almost took…

    First Adventure to the Big Apple

    Looking out the window of the taxi cab, at all the skyscrapers and crowds of people rushing to reach their destination, I realized that this is New York City, a completely different world then I had ever experienced. Day or night, there are cars honking, people talking, and music playing. Getting out of the cab, walking down Broadway Street for the first time, being part of the city’s madness felt so exhilarating. On every corner the smell of Starbucks would fill me lungs and glowing signs would seem to follow me saying, “Read me.”…

    A Place Where I Would Like to Live

    I like the saying: “The grass is always greener on the other side.” To me, it means that we tend to believe that life in places different from our residence is for some reasons better. Considering this, I have tried to be content with the place where I resided throughout my life – a regular city in the center of the United States. However, due to various circumstances which would take too much time to describe here, I started to think about changing my life and moving to another area. And, to start with, I attempted to figure out where I wanted to live, in all sincerity.…
