Cousin

in awhile is what I have always dreamt of. The event that I had attended was a wedding down south, specifically in Anaheim. My older cousin from my dad’s side was getting married to a beautiful bride. Not only did we attend a wedding there, but we had also rome throughout the city traveling into Los Angeles. Down in Anaheim, we stayed at this cottage that my cousin had rented for a week. Inside the cottage, there was a pool table and a pool. Also, there was another small house connected to the…

Many people have a misconception that young people are annoying and always angry. But in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, that is not the case. Romeo shows his lovingness by always being amiable with his enemies, Juliet shows her loveliness by always supporting Romeo, and Tybalt, who is always referenced to as the villain, also has a soft spot and a loving nature, thus proving that young people in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet are loving. First of all, Romeo’s attitude throughout the play…

tall, the light blue A-frame sits on a small lake surrounded by a dense woods, with cranes as loud as the morning’s alarm. However, this cottage on the lake feels of peacefulness and love, throughout all the noise. Every July, Grandma, Grandpa, my cousins, Jacob and Jason, and I hop in the crowded cherry red Subaru Forester, as we prepare to take the hefty…

In his infamous play, Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses the forbidden relationship between Romeo and Juliet to explore the ideas of change and impermanence. From feuding families, the two adolescents are banned from fraternizing with each other. However, the conflicts between their two families does not stop them from becoming star-crossed lovers. Over the course of their relationship, both characters constantly change affinities and feelings, depicting how evanescent love can be and how…

To tricking my 14 year old cousin into thinking that Nev from Catfish texted her telling her she’s cat fishing somebody and watching her freak out. Watching my grandfather cry for a whole weekend because my cousin graduated on a Friday from 5th grade with lots of awards because she had the highest EOG scores and you graduated High school the next day on Saturday and…

separated from Pickerel Lake, my cousins and I generally spend all day at the lake near my aunt and uncles cabin. I have three cousins that are exactly the same age as me and two that are a year younger than us four. This closeness in age works out great since we all get along pretty well and all enjoy being outdoors and doing the same variety of things. Especially since we have spent so much time together throughout the…

but things weren’t so bad until I started getting older and I really started having to get things on my own. We lived with our grandma as well as my mother and like eight cousins and I never had my own room or bed, I always had to sleep on the floor or on an uncomfortable couch. Things were never great. When I was about 17 my cousin and I went to a party with a couple of our friends and I had a gun on me. While we were at the party, a couple of other guys were mugging me and the guys that were…

great community with an amazing school district (that I have attended since kindergarten), not only is it the area I learned to drive in, and not only is it the area where my friends reside, but it’s where my true family is, my grandparents and my cousin, Blaze are. Trying to make sure I stay in Garnet Valley, the neighborly, value-centered, community I grew up in, we made our way to the Media…

“Are those …bullet holes?” Chase asked, as he dug into his pocket for his truck keys. The two cousins Chase and Jason were on their first hunting expedition after Jason got back from his tour in Iraq. When the two were in high school they would come to the same place and hunt every year. As they grew older, the tradition was often pushed off because of work or family responsibilities. However this year, the men had planned the trip months in advance after a grim discussion about how they are…

grandmother say that "when we die, we cannot take nothing with us." That phrase I used in any regular conversation, so lightly, as a saying; but it was not until the day that I had to face, one of the most painful and shocking situations in my life. My cousin Margarita, was a very cheerful, optimistic, hard-working, beautiful, slender and very elegant woman, she had 2 children, Ariella, 17 and Michael 12, she owned a beautiful house in Englewood, CA; when I visited her she was always making…
