I do not really have many objects I care about or have any feelings toward but one item that I really have a lot of feeling toward is my doll Rubi Gloom. She is the cutest little thing. I really do care a lot for her and I could not imagine how I would be without her. One sunny‚ Saturday afternoon I was hanging out with my friends and we decided to go to the mall.

True historical facts can easily be transformed by adding or taking away details in order to see it only from a certain perspective.
