Miracle Garden The Secret Garden is one of the best books that I’ve enjoyed reading. All the characters have interesting personalities that change for good; in many occasions. It’s neat to see how Mary‚ Colin‚ and Dickon encourage one another to value their own life. Two of the main characters would happen to be Mary Lennox and Colin Craven. Throughout the book‚ both Mary and Colin had a negative attitude. Mary was the first one to change her attitude and began to be positive and see

items was my "lucky" t-shirt. The back-story to how I received this shirt is rather simple. As I recall‚ or more like from what I can remember‚ it was a frigid mid- January morning‚ but all I could think about was baseball. I was eight years old‚ but while most kids my age were thinking about building snow forts and starting snowball fights‚ I was more in the mindset of a little leaguer on a muggy Saturday afternoon in August.

When I was a young child‚ my family would go to Silvershells beach in Destin‚ Florida for a week each summer. I remember that once you had to endure the ten hour drive down there‚ the paradise that was waiting always made it worth it.

The term "stabbed me in the back" is a recognized vernacular for someone who was betrayed. Well in my case I was "stabbed in the chest." I knew how my cousin Ann could be and somehow I was still shocked that she would hurt me how she did. She was my best friend from the time I was eight to that dreadful night she nearly had herself killed. It is during this time that she changed from the person I knew; the outspoken‚ rebellious‚ fearless woman that lived life to the fullest and took no prisoners

There were no general stores‚ markets or even neighbours
