In the story of "The Nest" I really think I can relate to Jimmy. I can relate to the way he spoke to his mother. It reminded me of all the times I would get into some arguments with my mom. I would ask her if I could do something like...go out somewhere or go to a friend's party. When she'd say, "No" or, "I'll decide later", I'd have the tendency to reason with her and persuade her to allow me to go. My parents say I'm stubborn, and I don't disagree. Sometimes I'd ask her so much, she'd get annoyed. When I'd finally give up of trying, and her final decision was a firm, "NO", I'd be so upset, but not upset to ignore what she said and go out and do the wrong. Most of the time I'd just go upstairs to my room or walk away and slouch myself down on the couch, go on my iPod, and ignore the world. Yes, you heard me. I would just be all depressed after that. I know some people give advice like, "Look at the bright side!", but seriously? When that happens, I'm not able to find the bright side. I know this is making me sound all negative, and I'm not too much of a drama queen either (I hope), but don't worry. After ten minutes or so, I'd be back to me loud, awkward self. When a situation happens like this, yes I'd be upset but afterwards I'd realize that the situation wasn't such a big deal.
If somehow the situation turned out that I was right about something or I proved a point to my mom, you can't argue that it DOES feel good to know you were right. (:

Nice work Christine, very well done. Everything was wonderful!
ReplyDeleteTHAT WAS A VERY WELL-WRITTEN STORY. GREAT RETELLING OF THE STORY! I know I hate when parents say no and they go on saying all stories when they were a kid and how unfair their life was! Well you can't change the way the world is, but sometimes people can change their mind!Great story Christine! :D

Very excellent blog Christine! I think that sometimes parents can be a bit bossy to but your are a little like me you need some time alone to cool down was you are sad. A great read overall too.
ReplyDeleteA great piece of writing Christine! My parents also get annoyed when I ask them something multiple times. Sometiimes, I annoy my parents so much, that they would let me do whatever I wanted to do. An entertaining blog to read and hope I could read more in the future!
