The Lovely Bones

Susie's father meant that the snow globe was a perfect place for the penguin to live and that there was no way of him getting out. The father thinks it's perfect because it has everything the penguin would need and that there wouldn't be any hardships of any kind. I think that Susie thinks she's trapped in heaven, trapped in what's supposed to be a perfect world. I don't think she sees it as a perfect world though, because if it were a perfect world, her family would be there.

One night, my friends and I decided to get together. So we each drove down to the beach to look up at the stars. Meghan and Chelsea Russell were the first ones to get there. They were followed by Armondo, Chelsea Campbell, and Bethany. I was the last one to get there, but they didn't mind waiting for me. After we were all there, we carefully made our way down a steep hill. Chelsea Russell was the only one that fell down. She slowly got up and called to us that were still near the top. When we finally reached the ocean, the soothing sand spread in between our toes as the water crept up to meet us. We laid down and spread our feet out then quietly took pictures of the moon with our phones. "Wow!" exclaimed Armondo. He had just gotten a beautiful picture of some shooting stars. "Armondo, you're so funny!" said Meghan as she tried to imitate Armondo's face. When I saw what an awesome picture he had, I tried to take one of a small star flying across the sky, but Campbell shined the flashlight at my phone. When I looked at it, I saw that the flashlight was too bright and it messed up the picture!
