Mint Snowball R.R

In a book what is more important the feeling of the book or the feelings of the author. Mint Snowball is one of the few narratives that both seem to matter. The author's story tells about something that effects her life yet she has never witnessed or used any of her senses towards the item which is of course the mint snowball that her father exclusively made.
Life is a strange thing that can be affected by even more so strange things. As in this story a mint snowball that is non existent effects someones whole life. It is the feeling of emptiness that has caused such a monumental change. That space of not knowing in the mind is the epicenter of the conflict is. The fear of the unknown, it drives the author to revolve her whole life around this one thing. Her mind beautiful yet scared due to this. All the things that she has done and effect her like  the things she has not done. This is a testament to the phrase that you will regret the things that you didn't do in life than the things you did.

The difference between cultures and cities within our country never really jumped out at me until this break. I have been all over the world, islands, countries but I never really have been anywhere significant in our country. This break I went to Northwest Arkansas and it was insane. I started noticing the differences in the land. The land was like God sculpted it, rough and perfect. Plus the elavation made the air thinner and it was easy to breathe instead of the humidity ridden air we have down here. And then the culture, everyone supported each other just as much as they support the Razorbacks. Now I am one to love Lsu's football life but in Arkansas it was like one unit, one single body instead of the disorderly chaos of down south. I love the disorderly chaos though, it is what I am growing up threw but I will not deny the beauty that is the mountains, lands, places, and people of that state.

   At school life is different. It is a series of classes and social interactions throughout an 8 hour day. Knowledge is extrapolated every day for the betterment of our lives. Though times that betterment comes at a price. Prices like the effrontery by classmates or even teachers in an extreme situation.     Not all of these things come at a price. Instead, laws take the place of anarchy. Cheating and purgery are rightfully placed so that a student may maximize the learning experience. The freedom that comes with a life without pastiche comes with this teaching.

Dear 12 year old

 Age is just a number a person measures age with. However a person's age has nothing to do on how they are measured. A person is measured on what their character is like, on how they live in life, in the success is earned, and by the respect gifted by peers. So at the age of twelve the realization that life is harder than it was perceived to be. Things like respect, character, and success aren't what motivates a kid at earlier points in life. Now at the age of twelve work starts to become harder. Though it seems stupid right now this is what will prepare you for the rest of your life. As the work keeps getting harder the success you earn becomes more prominent. The character that you didn't even know you had shows and as you get older the respect from your success will give gifts that you didn't even know you desired. I learned this as a young child that if you work hard enough at anything than you can be the best at whatever it is you're working on. Hard work will
