This essay begins with a happy tone about an important relationship in the author’s life. She seemed to really like the boy even though it was just a middle school relationship. Throughout the whole essay, the author describes the different activities involving her sweetheart. In all of the descriptions, words of excitement are used to express the feeling of the entire summer after eighth grade. “As we pulled up to the baseball diamonds, I was nearly jumping out of my seat in excitement.” The author even took time to brag about her athletic boyfriend saying,
“When Colin struck out three batters in a row, we hopped up and waved our dazzling dark blue pom-poms around. I was Colin’s biggest fan and the whole crowd knew it.”
Suddenly by the very end of the essay, the author reflects on the summer with a slight bit of sadness by saying, “I was the happiest I had ever been… I knew nothing would ever be the same again.” This is a nice contrast to sum up the essay with some emotional connection for the reader.
