As an upcoming freshman going into my first year of high school, my high school experience started off during the summer. The start of football season to be exact. Being only my second year in the small Rosendale-Brandon School District, I wasn’t sure what to expect of a freshman/sophomore team compared to what I had come to know in Fond du Lac, which developed an all freshman team, JV team, and finally varsity. Although this would be only a small part of my entire life, at the time nothing was more
my first high school football game with my best friends Jordan and Nick in the sixth grade, I’ve always wanted to play football. I wanted to be apart of the brotherhood that these highschoolers had. I wanted to leave a legacy and of course win. Three years pass and it was finally my chance to step onto the field and begin a new character in my life. It was my first opportunity to lace up my cleats and step foot onto my new home away from home, the Machebeuf football field. It was the first day
August 17th 2014, my first day at high school. Nerve wracking to say the least. I knew my aim for school which was to get good grades then hurry up and move onto University, it’s easier said than done but I had faith in my abilities. At the time, my family and I had a strong relationship as I always told them the truth as I had nothing to hide from them.

The narrative style of the novel can affect readers' perception of the book. The "narrative style" of any novel is the manner in which the narrator presents his/her story. In Dracula, Bram Stoker employed a multiple first person narrative style. His confusing yet attention grabbing novel is about a story of vamparism in England and Transylvania during the 1890s.

lovable, or at least relatable, young protagonist, Melinda, who is beginning her first year of high school. Mel is sarcastic, witty, and observant, constantly constructing metaphors for her world, referring to herself as a “wounded zebra” in the first few pages of the novel and giving the people around her funny nicknames like “Basketball Pole,” “Mr. Neck,” and “Principal Principal” (Anderson 5; passim). Mel’s humorous narrative voice is definitely something young readers would appreciate and identify with
“The Faery Handbag” by Kelly Link is a story where events in the narrative are told out of the order in which they actually happened; however, due to the many echoes scattered throughout the text, it is easy to see what is going on. Conflict in the story comes mainly from circumstance, although there are several characters who have more of a role in the conflict of the story than others.

Sinatra achieved a level of intimacy, both in his sound and his style, with the amplification equipment of his time that no one before him had. It's fair to say that Frank Sinatra's legacy is still felt and heard today, in singers everywhere. Our narrative begins with the birth of one Francis Albert Sinatra to Natalina Garaventa and Antonio Martino Sinatra, in a little town called Hoboken, New Jersey. Frank was born with severe scarring on his neck, left cheek, ear, and damage to his ear drum, which
