Broken Record The record I bought fo my little sister Phoebe is important to me Phoebe is one of the people I adore the most Although we got into an argument about me getting kicked out of school we made up very quickly I love how I can talk to her with a sophisticated vocabulary and she can understand everything I am saying I bought this record in the record shop near Broadway The song was Little Shirley Beans It was about a little kid that wouldn t go out of the house because two of her front teeth were out and she was ashamed too 114 The child in the song is much like me and what I hope my sister to be change is scary and staying the same is fine by me The Ducks in the Lagoon I have always been fascinated by the ducks in central park I worry about the ducks and I am concerned they will die I ask my cab drivers Where do the ducks go when the pond freezes over 81 They are gone once winter comes and I always wonder where they go This lagoon represents a person losing their childhood As the lagoon freezes over the water disappears just like my own childhood Although they leave the ducks give me a sense of comfort Even though the ducks leave I am certain they will come back once the weather warms up Allie s Baseball Glove Allies left handed glove is the one thing that truly reminds me of him Allie is my brother and he died not too long ago from leukemia I keep it to remind me what kind of brother he was He was intelligent and friendly
