Water On Seth's Head example essay topic

9/4/02 Narrative 9: 00 am English At the beach It was a day like every other that summer. I went to the beach with Julie. I played as she worked. She was a lifeguard at Break heart Beach. I went with her every day and our mom picked us up at six forty five. On this day there weren't that many people, in fact only two people were in the water the whole day.

I admire Julie greatly, so of course as any little brother would I would do anything she or her friends would tell me to. Just to impress them. This unfortunatly would not be to my advantage today. Being that there were only two people in the water only one guard had to be at his post. Julie and all her friends had dared me to go up to the first aid station and fill the huge green bucket with the ice cold water from the hose.

I can still remember walking towards the ugly and musty first aid station. The whole time over there I was thinking which way I would run after dumping the water on Seth's head. I had the greatest escape route. I was going to run around the chair a few times then back up the hill to the road then straight to the playground. It seemed like it took an hour to fill that green bucket.

It weighed about a million tons. And I was struggling to even pick it up. Never mind carry it all the way down the hill and then to dump it on Seth. I carried it about ten feet at a time. This made the trip to Seth a little longer than expected. Still going over my escape route.

This was going to make all the older people like me. Finally I almost made it to then edge of the hill I needed to make it to before I could get my target. I picked up the huge bucket and dumped it on the poor kids head. He still had his sweatshirt on. He jumped right off the chair.

My escape plan went into action. I ran around the chair several times he was not even close. I sprinted to the hill directly behind the chair and began to run up it. I slipped on mulch. Seth got a hold of me. He picked me up and ran towards the water he was soaked so it didn't matter to him if he went in too.

He must have tripped and we both fell me first then him on top. All I felt was a thump and then my leg felt like I had pins and needles. When my head hit the rock I saw what looked like a flash of light. When he got of atop of me I looked down to see the inside of my knee cap. I saw the yellowish bone and pudding like cartilage of my knee. When I saw that a feeling went straight to my stomach.

It was like I saw something your not suppose to see. After what seemed like for ever waiting for an ambulance and holding my skin together, they came and took me to the hospital. My doctor told me that it was a bad injury and that it was in a bad spot. He said that it required stitches but being on the kneecap it was impossible. As traumatic as that was it didn't really hurt all that much. It must have been the Adeline pumping, which shut off my pain.

Seth must have felt really bad. I kind of felt bad for him seeing that I was to blame for it. That should have been a lesson to me about showing off but it didn't work to good.
