Childhood is the most innocent phase of man's life. With the passage of time, it fades into adolescence and adulthood. Yet the sweet memories of childhood linger on. My childhood recollections are those of a sheltered and carefree life, nurtured with love and concern. As I was the first child in the family, everybody doted on me.
My funny lisping, my innocent mischief and my inane talk-everything was a source of immense pleasure to them. There was never a word of reproach or censure against me. Once a distant uncle picked me up from my school and, without informing my parents, took me to a fair. When I returned home, it was quite late. I found everybody worried, anxious and apprehensive about my safety. A frantic search for me had MEMORIES OF CHILDHOOD
The memory of the days spent during my childhood is still haunting my mind. Although I do wish that those days, full of pleasure, may come back, yet I know that it is a thing of the past. Time always flies on its wings. I cannot enjoy those days again. It is this period that has often been praised by poets and writers. Recollecting past is to plunge ourselves in a state of melancholy. Wordsworth, the immortal poet of England and a great worshipper of Nature, describes his childhood period in his poems. Childhood, according to him, was full of pleasures, thrill and entertainment. As I am growing in age, I feel greater attachment and attraction for those days that I had spent during my childhood. I know that my desire of enjoying childhood again can never be fulfilled because gone are the good old days when I was a child and when i remember my childhood.

Wyatt Horton Mrs. Overy English 10-7 10 October 2012 My Childhood Memory Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go to a country where life is difficult and is lived, day-to-day, while barely scraping by? Well, it is disturbingly different compared to our lives, here, in the United States.

I went to Nicaragua…

William Wordsworth believes that nature affects the human mind from a young age. Even though when man grows and he loses that pure sense and connection with the memory, the mind of the adult compensates the loss with the ability to feel nature. The author believes that the growth of the human mind is affected…

These connections inevitably present themselves throughout many of the prolific…
Malachy, three, the twins, Oliver and Eugene, barely one, and my sister, Margaret, dead and gone. When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I survived at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood.” “As usual the handshake was firm, the smile warm and the gratitude sincere. Again it struck me how bizarre that the…
The fact that this was a memory that she will never forget she can recount countless times. However, since I had heard this story before I did notice that her body language changed from time to time. Their where moments of pause that caused her sadness, which lead me to believe that this was because she knew how much she has aged and how all those experiences meant a lot to her. The quality of her story didn’t seem to be that of a bad one, it seemed that every piece of memory given to me was a fact…
Few objects spark such memories as does my old pillow. When most people see a pillow, they just think of sleep, but my pillow is different. My pillow has been with me since early childhood. That consistent comforter and friend has supported me through thick and thin. That pillow has patiently endured my nightmares and dreams for years. Whether I was in bed with a sickness or running after my little brother in a pillow fight battle, that familiar sack of cotton has been reliable. Every time I lay…
