My Sister in a Photograph

My Sister in a Photograph
Standing with a smile on her face wearing a lime green and neon pink bathing suit with her baby fat sticking out. Printed May 10, 1997 in the left hand corner in orange typing. On the back is written, bikini babe, Tara, having fun at our house on the patio written in my grandmas delicate cursive writing that is barley readable. Her hair is brown, thin, and short, later to become long, luscious, thick and wavy hair that is gorgeous. She has her baby fat rolls on her arms and legs, later to become skin and bones. Little does she know, by the time she hits the age of 13 she will suffer from depression. She will lock herself in her bedroom daily and wont respond to anybody or anything . But then at the age of 15 she will get help from a therapist and get medicine to help her control her mood. Tara will then be happy and enjoy life and go out and do things with her older sister regularly, she will talk about her day instead of going straight to her room after school, and she will actually begin to like and appreciate having her family there for her all the time.
In the background behind the young child is her grandparents used to be house on daisy lane. No one expected them to decide to move to Texas this late in there lives. . This was the most emotional day for the young girl in the picture and her family. She and her family spent the whole day grieving about their loss of the grandparents cause of the distant move to Texas that they decided to do so late in their lives. To overcome the sadness her and her little sister will write letters to their grandparents every week until they grow old of it.
When October of 2011 comes she will be excited from day one till day twenty one. This is because just around the corner is the young child’s 16 birthday. .Though the girl fears driving she will be looking forward to getting a car. Hopefully, the girl will realize by the time she hits 16 that her little sister does actually care for her and was not just trying to bug her, her whole life.

  1. I like the repition of the dates (13,15,16,etc). I find that to be very effective in this piece.
    To improve to improve you could work more on showing not telling. it would make this stronger.
