Challenge Check in #3

For my challenge, I wrote about the Princess and the Frog. Completing this challenge enhanced my understanding of the Gothic representations by noting the differences between the movie and the story. Although the story was more drab and would not be interesting to children, I think that the movie employed more Gothic features such as voodoo and evil characters, which are not present in the original story. There were no issues in the writing process, but I was expecting the story to be a bit more interesting.

My old neighborhood

Sunrise is the town I lived in for 5 years in my life. Sunrise, I must say, is the perfect town for any family. There are always kids playing outside. They'd play hopscotch, four square, or hula-hoop. I remember there being two parks within walking distance in my neighborhood. One of the parks was good for playing basketball or riding your bike. While the other park was good for playing sand volleyball, playing soccer, or meditating near a lake. I remember going to a park almost every weekend. Besides the park, my family had our own pool. This was really the best area to stay active. We also had our own tamarind tree.  I remember picking tamarinds and pealing its hard brown skin off to get to the sour, sticky fruit inside. It was extremely sour! The other plus to this town was that my elementary school was within walking distance. Although my parents did not let me walk to school by myself, it was nice to have a school close by. My neighborhood was a calm family-friendly area to have fun.
