    It was just a boring day in my hometown, a traditional, weak entrance a lot of narrative stories use to try to get the attention of the readers. This story, however, isn’t one of those traditional stories; this one involves a day that had been exciting up to that point already. The memory that resonates daily throughout my mind would have to be the time when I went to Six Flags for the first time in my life. Before I jump into my story, I should tell you my friends mess with each other a lot, almost to the point where we get into fights with each other.…

    In the story, the author states, "Right before you get you get into St. Louis County, you run into the most famous of historic highways-Route 66." This is where he begins talking about Route 66. He states that it is the most famous. However, this is all opinion and does not support that Route 66 represents America. He later states, "Route 66, to me, represents America before we had the same stores…

    The authors like drive Route 66 because road planners began to build more direct routes between cities. The author likes to drive on route 66 because it is wider the lanes and is a little more secure and can not be so dangerous. As they did, they diverted, bypassed or otherwise realigned Route 66. Route 66 lost its official United States Highway designation. The author says that Route 66 is narrower and people driving on those roads have a limit of speed that the author…

    Have you ever wondered where you would be if you would have chosen another path? Have you ever wondered how that choice could have changed your life if you would have made it? Often I look back and think about my past and look at the places I have been and the things I have done. Some things I’m not proud of. Some of those things bring back vague memories. Whether they are good or bad they still come back to me. Everything we do is based upon choices. After we make those choices there comes consequences. We can never decide our consequences, they just come.…

    Route 66 represents America where people could take the time to do unique things with their small business. The places on route 66 are one of a kind. Based on what I read, it was called, "THE ROAD." It takes you back in time to a shadow of what America was once, before it all was the same. This route is also a historic road that led people from Chicago to Santa Monica. Route 66 has so many sights to see that you will not forget. The route is very special to people trying to escape from the busy traffic on an interstate. In the story it states, "It takes the fun out of driving."Being on the interstates is really boring. It is an original route without the same old stores and places everywhere. People love to take this route to see all those amazing views.…

    Every other driver on Six Forks preyed on my vulnerabilities. I remained in the right-hand lane the entire twenty minute journey to school, afraid to switch lanes on the off-chance an impatient driver might cut me off. I was the only commuter in Raleigh adhering to the speed limit, being overtaken by other teenagers on their way to school, business men rushing to the office, and soccer moms in their ponderous minivans. The whole world was passing me and my little green CRV.…

    I remember the day vividly: the sizzling of food frying, children yelling, my tears running, it was the first time I adventured to Six Flags. The uneasiness of my stomach while swaying tens of feet from the ground on the Texas Giant petrified the adventurous spirit out of me. However, I did not realize that moment `would shape the next eight years of life, emerging in my memory at every unfamiliar experience I faced. It was my senior year when I declined an invitation to go camping with my friends an epiphany struck me. How many of these opportunities was I going to skip out on due to my reluctant manner?…

    I always keep this poem and picture in my wallet. I take it everywhere with me because it means quite a lot to me in two very different ways. One of those ways is because it holds sentimental value. When I was younger I learned to read very late in life and I was always so embarrassed of that. My father knew that I was struggling and bought me the book, Where the Sidewalk Ends. It is a book full of poems and little pictures written by Shel Silverstein. I remember opening the book to ta random page, and it was the page with this poem. I then remember my dad asking me to read it to him. I was so uncomfortable, even thought I was just going to be reading to my dad. He gave me some words of encouragement, and even thought I was not able to read…

    Some people say I’m a speed demon. Some people say I have a heavy foot. Some people say I drive like a maniac. But according to me, I just like to think about getting where I’m going, fast. Really fast. Just because I would much rather prefer going fast, it does not mean I am not careful. In fact, I am more careful than probably any other driver I know. I might go 20 or so miles over the speed limit at any given time, but I do it with great care and while paying attention. I slowdown at intersections (in case some idiot driver blows through a stop sign), tap the brakes when I see a car backing out of a driveway (in case they do not see me coming), and I give people all the space they need to walk on the side of the road or even sidewalk. I…
