Family and loss
Felicia C-W
The theme of my life
When you lose someone, do something that makes you happy because when I lose people and animals I do things that make me happy like listening to music or playing with my guinea pigs.
Mom
She is my mother and when I am down or bored she will play board games or cook food with me, My mom is very caring for when I am sick or sad. My mom will go clothes or shoe shopping with me. My mom will watch movies and tv with me. She helps me when I want to take the guinea pigs outside to eat the grass, so we have a square like shape where they can run around and eat grass. When my sister used to pick on me my mom would ask if I am ok and would go talk to my sister to see what the problem was.
Dad
He is my father and when I am down, he will talk to me about what the problem is or when my sister is messing with me. My dad can tell if I am having a bad by the way I act, or how my face looks. If I say that I am ok, he will ask again just to make sure that I am ok. My dad also can be serious and can make around with my sister and me. If my sister and I are fighting he will come and stop it by not yelling but by just talk it out with us.My dad will take my sister and I swimming,fishing, or hunting for mushrooms. My dad is a really good cook like hamburgers or baked goods.
Guinea pigs
I can talk to them and they always make me happy! When I am mad or sad I can go to them and they always make me happy. They are always there for me when I need someone or them. I can always talk to them and they can't say anything mean, it is like they support you when you talk to them about something that is troubling you. When they squeak or chirp it is like they are talking to you if they are agreeing or disagreeing.
Music
Music is a escape from reality and it helps me think. It helps with for all of your emotions.When I am sad or mad I listen music it makes me feel happier or better. I have different playlists for different emotions like happy,sad,mad and general emotions for all. You have different types of music like old music,pop,rock,emo, and electronic.You have different artists with different types of emotions in their songs like Black Veil Brides,Bring Me The Horizon, and Nirvana.
Setting of Theme
My house in Norwalk is the theme because I have lived there all my life. It was my first home. A lot of events have happened there like animals died and new animals joined the family. It the setting was different I wouldn't have a big connection at I do to my house.
Three Life Events
Bike rides
My dad, my sister and I would go on bike rides togethers around Des Moines and Norwalk like parks or trails. My mom would take me on the streets on Norwalk by Dollar General and the Middle School. My dad took me to Water Work's Park and Gray's Lake in the summer.
Celebrating the Holidays with Family
My family celebrates holidays with my aunts and uncles.Some times my Grandma Geri would come and bring presents for my sister and I as late birthday presents or early Christmas presents.
Swimming
My family and I will go swimming at Big Creek or Easter Lake. My mom doesn't like swimming in lakes so she will make food or spend time with my brother. We will eat sandwiches and chips. We also will swim with my Uncle Mark and Little Mark at Raccoon River.
Climax
When my family and I spend holidays with my aunts,uncles,grandparents, and cousins.
When it was Thanksgiving , my Grandma Geri would come with presents for late birthdays and early Christmases. In 2008, Thanksgiving Day was celebration for my Uncle Mark coming out of prison. Celebrating holidays with my family at sometimes sad times makes those times not as sad anymore.
