The only crime you saw was on TV and you could honestly say

historic town in Massachusetts called Marblehead, while it may not have been the quintessential Boston upbringing, but it's easy to tell where I was born and raised. I’ll still brag about how much better of a city Boston is than New York City. I still call Dunkin Donuts “dunks”.

I have lived among this untamed coastal beauty all my life as have my mother and her mother as well. My grandmother spent her early years on an island in the mouth of the harbor. Her

you perspective. For the past several summers my family and I have traveled around the country, covering as much as 9,000 miles by car in one five-week summer trip. The trips are exciting and fun, great education for my kids, and make us all realize how different our lives are from lots of other people.

Luis Rodriguez Historical Fiction HIST 1301-2H2 For my 14th birthday my grandmother gave me a diary. I never used it until now. It was just pieces of strings that connected sheets of paper together. It was nothing special or anything that looked fancy. She wanted me to practice my writing since it “imitated a peasant’s work”. How considerate of her to be so kind about helping me with something so utterly useless to me. It was a miracle for her to even give me anything since she is so blinded by

My seemingly normal life had come to a standstill. “We’re sorry Parker, but we have no other choice. We’ve thought it over and this is our decision”.
