Can someone tell me how this sounds??!? |
I have class at 1:30 and i had to write a descriptive essay on an object and i picked a fish tank with pictures in it... What better way is there to capture special moments but through pictures? Once you have captured those moments in pictures place them where everyone can see. But who would ever think to place them in a fish tank? Its sole purpose was to hold fish so what do you do when the water dries up and the fish are gone? It is a great way to display our family鈥檚 special moments. Thanks grandma I really enjoy looking at the collage of pictures; it brings back great memories. The four main picture memories I remember is the picture of me and my intermediate family taking an Easter photo, my grandfather鈥檚 military photo, my little cousin Myah photo, and my uncle and aunt wedding photo. As I walk through the front doors of a multi-colored stone row home on Payson Street I see an array of colors. Towards my left in a cozy corner a long brown wooden table made itself at home. On the table rested a collection of portraits of my brothers, and cousins. The faces in the pictures aged with time. I look straight ahead and I keep walking; stopping at a clear, square 25 gallon glass fish tank. This fish tank was once my uncle鈥檚. It sat downstairs in the living room of my grandmother鈥檚 house. This fish tank once held brilliantly colored fish; now, it holds pictures. Pictures of me, wonderful moments- family portraits. Pictures of my aunts, uncles, cousins, brothers; what a pleasant sight. I look through the glass and analyze all the memories. A smile crept across my face as I glimpse at a picture in the corner of the fish tank. I see my mother, father, brothers and myself. I remember that day as if it were yesterday. I was seven; we were on our way home from church. My mom had arranged for us to take a family portrait. I was wearing a light pink dress with white shoes and stockings with a blue trench coat over it. My older brother wore a solid blue suit. My father had on a sandy brown suit; my mother wore a light blue skirt suit. My little brother, whom was in my father鈥檚 arms, wore a black, yellow and red sweat suit. The sun was beaming bright that day. And as the camera flashed the sun struck my eyes. Needless to say, there I was, at the wrong place at the time, because by the end of the day, the picture was taken with a mug in my face. I kept looking around the photo filled fish tank and stopped at one that almost immediately caught my attention. It was an old picture of my grandfather, John Johnson; who was 6鈥?鈥欌€?a Private First Class 0fficer, who fought in World War II. There was another picture of a precious little girl who was only one. She wore a beautiful light pink dress with ruffles around the bottom. She sat on a white unicorn she wore a smile as bright as day. There were many other pictures in there. There was one of my Aunt and Uncle on their wedding day; which is also my grandmother鈥檚 birthday. My aunt wore and royal blue dress with a matching hat and my uncle wore a white shirt with a black and grey sweater over it along with a pair of beige khaki鈥檚. The wedding wasn鈥檛 anything big. It was a very intimate warm setting with close family; it was officiated in a court. Staring at this old fish tank I realized something. If this fish tank was ever to be sold, a price could never be listed. It displayed the perfect family; my family. And even the wealthiest man on earth would envy me. I have something that money can't buy. I have happy memories of a loving family, growing together celebrating Birthdays, Thanksgivings, Easter, Christmas, and New Years. It sounds GREAT and very descriptive!!!! =) Now hurry... make it to class on time and just hand it in!!!! Thanks for sharing... I think now that my fish are dead... your idea is a GREAT IDEA!! Thanks again! Well done and well-written. Is there anything higher than an A++++++ that I can give you?!?!? LOL What do you do when the water dries up and the fish are gone? add more water and fish. Does this fish tank have water,fish and the pictures in the back? that would look cool. |
