Everybody in John’s family loves the beach. It is only once a year that they visit the beach, but they try to make the most of it. The morning is the time they go most often (the time when the sun is at its weakest), and also the time when the sharks are not out. Beep-beep, this was the sound of Johns alarm clock, that was set to wake him up at eight o’clock in the morning. As he woke up he could hear this loud high pitched scream like nails on a chalk board coming from the living room, it was his mother who was calling him to see the beautiful sea that was nice and calm. “Get ready son, we will depart from the condo in ten minutes,” he agreed and ten minutes later they left for the beach.
It was eight thirty; John’s family was walking through the white sandy beaches to the ocean front, in order to build a sand castle. This was their usual schedule, and then they would walk into the beautiful blue ocean, so they could swim and jump the waves. There were four of them in the family; two brothers named john and jack, also a mother and father named Donny and Rachel. As they began to build their sand castle John and Jack began to fight as usual and this caused a loud argument which included screaming and conflict. As the conflict was later settled the boys continued to build their sand castles on two different plots of land, this gave the two boys the right to build their own ideas and such. The boys began to wrap up their sand castles and clearly john had the best castle because he was the most artistic out of the two. The family then continued on to their next activity in the day, “how about we play some beach volley ball,” Donny asked and the boy’s faces lit up with jumping joy as this was their favorite game to play. John then asked “what will the teams be dad?” his dad then answered with “perhaps they could be the same as last time,” and John answered with a simple okay. As the game got started, both teams were playing to win, but it was in the interest of every person to have as much fun as they could. This is something that they had always agreed, on to have the most fun because it had occurred to them that usually whoever has the most fun will usually win.
As the game came to a close tie, in the end the two teams began to play harder and they began to lose the ability to have fun. “Twelve to twelve” Donny said and the two teams played with their all; mostly because they knew the losers would most likely have no bragging rights after the game. When Donny served next, it was a bad one and it went out of play, Donny and John had lost the game. This was a devastating loss for John because he knew that he was better than Jack. John knew that for the rest of the night he would here jack all night bragging about his victory. In the end though, the two teams came back together to being a family and they remembered how they were supposed to have fun, but they had lost their ability to enjoy the game through their excessive fighting. However this fighting brought them closer together as a family and allowed them to see past fighting.
