Point of View

Tommy's mom told him that he needed a haircut. Tommy thought his hair looked cool the way it was, so he whined all the way to Sports Clips. The stylist took one look at Tommy, and realized what the problem was. He whispered to Tommy, and Tommy grinned. Tommy hopped into the chair, and the stylist started snipping away. In 15 minutes, Tommy was the proud owner of a faux-hawk.

The doorbell rang. Scott bounded down the stairs. He looked through the peephole and then opened the door. The mailman stood there holding a package. "Is your mother or father home?" Scott shook his head back and forth. The mailman handed Scott a bulky scanning device and said, "Sign here, please." Scott grabbed the stylus and scrawled his name.

The phone rang. Sam answered it and on the other end was a voice that he knew very well. It was his teacher. At once, his heart began to beat faster and he couldn't quite get the words to come out. He was nervous and wondering why his teacher would be calling his house. Could it be about what happened today during lunch?

I like to ride the bus to school everyday. I sit with my friends and we play games. I look out the window and watch the houses and cars go by. I bump up and down as the bus goes over the hills. Riding the bus is so much fun!

Sara pulled her jacket around her as the wind began to blow. She told her friend, Jenny, that she needed to go home before it started to rain. Jenny wanted to convince Sara to stay longer, but Sara knew the right thing to do. As Sara began to run, she noticed her mom's car coming toward her. She breathed a sigh of relief.

My dad and I went to a Diamond Backs game. I was really excited because Madison Bumgarner was pitching. Dad and I waited impatiently for the game to begin. And then it happened! Just before the first pitch, we heard a loud boom, saw sparks, and were suddenly sitting in a pitch black stadium. I almost cried when the usher said we had to leave. At least they gave us a rain check!

Andy and his younger sister Paula sat in the backseat of their aunt's car. They had not spoken since being picked up at the airport by their aunt. The car turned off the highway and bumped along a dirt road lined with trees. At the end of the road, they saw a big white house with a huge green lawn. They were both thinking about how amazing the house looked. Andy was thinking about all the fun he was going to have kicking the soccer ball around. Paula suddenly realized that this trip was going to be much better than she originally thought it was going to be.

The dew on the grass made my running shoes damp. It didn't bother me. The sound of my feet hitting the street formed a rhythm, a steady pattern of light thumps. I timed my breathing with the rhythm. These sounds filled my head. I thought of nothing other than the next step and keeping my tempo. I soared over the sidewalks like concrete clouds.

"Crash!" The sound of falling bowling pins fills the air. You walk to the counter and address the attendant. You mention that he has given you shoes in the wrong size. He politely corrects the error. You walk back to your party. It is your turn. You put on your shoes, find your ball, and approach the lane. You wait until the lanes are clear. Then you waddle up to the lane and roll the ball between your legs, grandma style. Your friends cheer. The bumpers ensure that the roll is devastating.
