The Nest

In the story The Nest, Jimmy asks his mother if he could go on a hike with his friends. His mother refused to let him go. Even though Jimmy asked multiple times, his mother's answer was set in stone. Ignoring what his mother said, Jimmy went on the hike anyways. I can relate to Jimmy in his situation because sometimes I ask my mom if I can go on the Wii and she says no. I keep asking and asking, and then when she isn't paying attention I sneak onto the Wii. When my mom calls for me and asks what I am doing, I tell her I am playing Wii.  Sometimes I use the excuse that I was helping my little sister Sydney with a game so I don't get into trouble.

My Worst Halloween

 My worst halloween was four years ago. I wore a costume to school that was very hot and made me sick to my stomach. My mom had to pick me up from school after I threw up. We had plans to spend halloween in buffalo with my cousins, so we drove down to the states and that was when things got really bad. I got sick several times on the trip down and felt so weak that I could not even go trick or treating. That's certainly one halloween I will never forget.
