A Bus Stop At Paris

The long scar just below her left knee looked like that lady had been in a bad accident, as I quickly look away, the road seem to lead to no where, the bus was pack with people, there were children crying, people laughing, people reading, and me just being bored, my parent had plan for me to go to Paris and visit my aunt Lulu, who was a wealthy lady, and stay with her for a couple of weeks, this would be my fourth time to see her this year.
As the bus driver announce to every one that we would arrive to Paris in about 15 minutes, "boy was i glad," we were almost there, because it seem that it was taking centuries. As the bus finally arrive my aunt rush towards me and squint, taking a better view of me, she just turn and told her limousine driver to carry my bags to the car, I hated when she did that not even welcoming me, she would just take a look at me and walk away.
We got in the car and drove away, we went to her house and pass by a garden full of beautiful smelling roses, then out of no were my immature childhood, crept into me, my aunt Lulu gave me a look that made me scare. We arrived at her fancy house and "boy it was gorgeous," by credentials of my aunt she was one of the wealthiest lady in the whole town, i was just happy to be related to her so that when she died she leaves me something cool.

Lovely Bones

What Susie's father means, is that the penguin that inside the snow globe, looks all lonely, but it is not because he, may seem lonely but he has a mind there are things that go through his mind, and he is in a different world. The father considers it perfect, because it just up to the penguin to decide, what he will do, and in side the snow globe, the penguins life looks perfect.

What I think that happen to Susie she is trapped in a heaven, because she is always looking down to earth, and remembering her life. No, i don't think she sees it as a perfect world, because there are things she miss, like her family and friends.
