Fall

Grandmothers. One of the most important people in your life. Some have two or sometimes three, but I have one and she is very special to me. This frail looking but tough old woman I call my granny, is the only grandparent I ever knew and she has taught me many things.

“Ahhh!” a scream comes out of my granny’s back yard. Suddenly my aunt comes running from the yard screaming “Snake! Snake!” Wondering if the snake was really a snake and not a hose or something, my mom and I investigated it. We saw a lime green garden snake slither towards a cement wall. It was probably trying to hide from my aunt’s voice. Inside I saw my aunt looking out the back window of her South Carolina home that she and Granny share. From the kitchen I could hear Granny yelling,”What’s wrong Linda?” to my aunt. My mom, our friends and I attempted to capture the snake. We intended to release it at a nearby park, but the snake retreated into a hole. We told my aunt it escaped. During this entire time my aunt was running around the house bothering my grandma (who is not afraid of snakes).The next day my aunt told her brother (my uncle) to cement up the hole. As you can imagine my grandma has to have a lot of patient’s ad a good sense of humor to deal with my aunt’s fears.

Every time I go to my grandma’s house I discover new sides to her personality. One summer when I went down there I found an understanding, caring side to her. On my mom’s side of the family there are three girls including me and nine boys including my brother. One day while at my Granny’s house four cousins (one girl three boys) spent the night at her house. Being boys my cousins and brother didn’t heed my grandma’s words and watched a scary movie while my girl cousin and I watched a comedy. That night I stayed up and watched TV. On my way to the bathroom I glimpsed in to my grandma’s room and saw one of my cousins sleeping on her bed. After this I realized that even though he didn’t listen to my grandma’s warning she still comforted him.

There is really no word to describe how my grandma is important to me. I could say because I love her. I could say because I love her but like I said before. She's a grandma. One of the most important people in you life. Some have two or sometimes three. But I only have one and she is very special to me. That is the truth.

Taryn Pettigrew November 7, 2003 Period 6-7 Fantasy Room

In your mind, imagine a place where you can get Icee’s for free. Envision a place where TVs, DVDs, VCRS, PS2s emerge from the walls. Visualize a place were you can collapse on the floor hard and not feel a thing. Is it heaven, Best Buy, or something else. It just so happens to be my fantasy room.

When you first get in the door of my room, on the left you see my entertainment center. It consists of a TV (along with a VCR), a DVD player, and a PS2. These appliances come out of the wall. They are removable so if I go on vacation I can hide them. A dresser is also on this wall, but it isn’t really important when you compare it to my electronics.

Moving counter clock-wise around my room, the next wall you see will be the west end of my room. It holds my exquisite sit-in windows, another dresser, and my spiraling steps going to my loft. This loft contains a sound system, big screen TV, computer and a pull out couch. This room is also considered my dog /guest’s room. I also use this room to have parties in since it has so many superior things in it.

Turning right a quarter turn, you will see my unique wall. From left to right there is my nightstand, Queen sized bed, and my Icee machine. My bed is in the center of these two belongings so I can reach them from my bed. From the angle I positioned my bed, I can use my electronics perfectly. This is definitely my favorite wall. The last wall in my room is mostly a closet. This is not just any closet. It is a walk in closet. Turning left in my closet there are four rows. One for my shirts, one for the pants, one for the skirts, and one for the dresses. Behind my clothes are my special rows. I put my videos, DVD’s and my games on these rows.

In the middle of my fantasy room are many things. First of all, there is my specially cushioned carpet. If I trip, the carpet will be like a pillow. Also in my room is a beanbag to do my homework on. The last thing in my room is an emergency escape slide in the corner. (I sometimes use this as a way to get outside quickly.)

This room I created would be quite pleasing. I can imagine almost ever day lying on my giant bed, waking up to go to school. I would then saunter into my closet to get my clothes. After eating my breakfast, I would probably use my emergency escape outside. After school, I would create myself a slushy and head to my loft or beanbag to do my homework. After that depending on my mood, I would watch TV, listen to the radio, or invite my friends into my loft. At night, I roll into my giant bed, adjust my lighting and fan with my remote, then either watch TV or read my self to sleep.
