Lai Xu Per. 10 2-4-03 A House to Remember I have moved in and out of many houses throughout the years‚ but none of them were as important to me as the house in which I grew up. I must admit that this house‚ although enormous‚ was neither the nicest nor the most comfortable house‚ yet my nostalgic nature has propelled me to treasure that house above all others.

Heldt Mr. Bender English 10000 8 May 2012 The Sea After reading The Old Man and the Sea‚ written by Ernest Hemingway‚ I found the most interesting part of the book to be the sea itself. One can almost consider the sea another character‚ due to the vital role it plays in the short novella.

Autobiography: The Sea My family took a vacation the summer before sixth grade. We were in Maui‚ Hawaii to be exact‚ it was paradise. We walked to the beach from my family’s cabin everyday.
