Personal Narrative Essay On Meme's
Downstairs from Meme's is a basement apartment that Meme's mother fixed up and rented to a Puerto Rican family. Louie's family. Louie is the oldest in a family of little sisters. He is my brother's friend really, but I know he has two cousins and that his T-shirts never stay tucked in his pants.

Louie's girl cousin is older than us. She lives with Louie's family because her own family is in Puerto Rico. Her name is Marin or Maris or something like that, and she wears dark nylons all the time and lots of makeup she gets free from selling Avon. She can't come out—gotta baby-sit with Louie's sisters—but she stands in the doorway a lot, all the time singing, clicking her fingers, the same song: Apples, peaches, pumpkin pah-ay. You're in love and so am ah-ay.

Louie has another cousin. We

There were white rugs and white leather seats. We all asked for a ride and asked where he got it. Louie's cousin said get in.

We each had to sit with one of Louie's little sisters on our lap, but that was okay. The seats were big and soft like a sofa, and there was a little white cat in the back window whose eyes lit up when the car stopped or turned. The windows didn't roll up like in ordinary cars. Instead there was a button that did it for you automatically. We rode up the alley and around the block six times, but Louie's cousin said he was going to make us walk home if we didn't stop playing with the windows or touching the FM radio.

The seventh time we drove into the alley we heard sirens . . . real quiet at first, but then louder. Louie's cousin stopped the car right where we were and said, Everybody out of the car. Then he took off flooring that car into a yellow blur. We hardly had time to think when the cop car pulled in the alley going just as fast. We saw the yellow Cadillac at the end of the block trying to make a left-hand turn, but our alley is too skinny and the car crashed into a

    My mother, sister, and I were driving down Highway 124 on a hot July day when my mom screamed and slammed on the breaks. Fear rushed through our bodies. Outside the car window, a short young African American man was launched into the air. As he came down, a loud boom sounded as his body helplessly rolled off the hood of the faint green Toyota Corolla in front of us. The man lay motionless in the road while we waited for what seemed like hours for the driver to exit the car. His red shirt and gym shorts were ripped. The driver of the opposing car threw the vehicle in reverse in a spasmodic action in an attempt to end the man’s life. The injured man made an effort to crawl onto the Wendy’s sidewalk, forcing his body up on the curb to evade the car. The driver drove up onto the curb and blew its tire, just barely missing the wounded man. Realizing the driver would stop at nothing, my mother drove her white suburban in front of the car, blocking the violent perpetrator from doing any further damage.…

I jumped back in and tried to put my foot on the brake, but it must have been the accelerator because the car just kept going forward. It was so quick! I went over the little concrete block at the end of the parking space, right through a fence, across a small patio, through a sliding glass door and into a lady’s kitchen.” “Thank God, that lady and her son were out taking a…

    “Emjed hurry up!” my cousin shouts with joy. I walked out of the garage while putting on my jacket to get into my car. We first drove to go and pick up my friend, Nathan. As we got close to his house, I called him to come out. A few minutes later, he came out and jumped in the car. Before we headed to the party, we made a quick stop at the liquor store to buy alcohol. Once we left the store, we spotted two cop cars right behind us. My friend Nathan was so scared because he was only nineteen years old at the time. Even though I was the same age, I wasn’t too afraid. Eventually, the cops turned into a street just a couple miles before we got to our destination. I was a bit hesitant about going, but it was too late to turn back now. I didn’t want to look like I was a little kid in front of my cousin and my friend.…
