’Typhoid Fever’– Present Tense Childhood Memory
I am four years old and sitting by our pool. I see everyone swimming and splashing with relief on this hot summer day. I get up and try to balance on the edge of the concrete that leads to the pool, when I hear my mom yell at me: "Sis, stop playing around or you'll fall in, and I'm not jumping in to save you." I ignore her and keep trying to balance myself. Next thing I know I can see the reflections of the sky through the water I'm under and then everything goes black. I peek open one of my eyes and i notice that I'm upside down. maybe I'm on someones shoulder, but its hard to tell. Everything goes black again and then I open my eyes only to find myself laying on my bed with all my clothes wet. I walk back outside to look for my rescuer but no one said anything and just continued with the pool party. I still don't know who saved my until this day.

"The Storyteller" Another Point of View
During the extremely boring train ride, I go out of my way to tell my nieces and nephew a story but they keep asking "Why?" and then they call my story stupid! I am so irritated. Then this bachelor wants to shake his head at me as if he can do better. He thinks hes so smart and that he knows how to entertain three uncontrollable children who won't be quiet! I'm tired and annoyed so I guess I see what he has to say. It seems that his story was very innapropriate but I'm glad he kept them quiet for the last ten minutes.

“’The Storyteller’ - Memorable Books from My Childhood.”
A list of my five favorite children's books are:
"Clifford The Big Red Dog" written by Norman Bridwell
"The Giving Tree" written by Shel Silverstein
"No, David !" written by David Shannon
"Corduroy" written by Don Freeman
"The Rainbow Fish" written by Marcus Pfister
Clifford was the runt of a litter of puppies and was chosen by a city child named Emily Elizabeth as her birthday present. No one expected him to grow, but Emily's love for her tiny red puppy changed him dramatically. Before long, he was over 25 feet tall, forcing the Howard family to leave the city and move to the open spaces of Birdwell Island.
The Giving Tree is a tale about a relationship between a young boy and a tree. The tree always provides the boy with what he wants: branches on which to swing, shade in which to sit and apples to eat. As the boy grows older, he requires more and more of the tree. The tree loves the boy very much and gives him anything he asks for. In an ultimate act of self-sacrifice, the tree lets the boy cut it down so the boy can build a boat in which he can sail. The boy leaves the tree, now a stump. Then in the future the boy comes back and asks the tree for a quiet place to sit and rest. The tree once again gives the boy the least that it has.
In No, David! there are pictures of David doing he was not supposed to do like writing and drawing on the wall, reaching the cookie jar, stepping into mud, dressed like a pirate with a scuba mask and snorkel and holding a shark and running naked down the sidewalk, dressed as a soldier playing with a big spoon and a pan, playing with the food at the table and eating it watching the tv dressed as a cowboy picking his nose, watching tv in another room, playing baseball in the living room and knocking down a vase sitting in time out and hugging mom.
Corduroy tells the story of a teddy bear named Corduroy, who is bought in a department store by a girl named Lisa.
The Rainbow Fish is best known for its morals about the value of being an individual and for the distinctive shiny foil scales of the Rainbow Fish.

Third Person Narrator: Plumber, Princess, & Attacking Turtle
Once upon a time, in a castle a princess was watching a plumber as he was trying to fix her sink. Suddenly outside the castle stomping up the hill, a giant turtle starts to roar in anger after a bug flew in his eye. In response the princess and the plumber go outside to see whats wrong. Later after a long story has been told to them by the giant angry turtle, they all create a conclusion on how to get the bug out of his eye. The princess walks over to the turtle blows a small, cool breath into it, and calmly and carefully takes the bug out with her two small fingers. Afterward the three all sit at the top off the big grassy hill, and watch the sun call it a day.
