Childhood Memory

Author's Note: In the novel, All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque, it demonstrates the main theme of childhood and that it is something that nobody can escape. It stick with you your whole life. Everybody wishes to be back at your childhood because of all the happy memories it had. In this response, I wanted to capture that childhood memory. There wasn't a specific quote that inspired me, it was the first three chapters of the novel that inspired me to write this response.

The smell of fresh air happily fills the lungs. The sound of chirping birds brings music to the ears. The warmth of the sun brings sleep upon the eyes. It feels so good. The grass, perfectly green, tickles the skin as the body lies peacefully on the earth. Rolling along the smooth ground brings happiness to the emotions. Standing up, there is a slight breeze; it’s perfect- not too hard and not too cold. The breeze scatters the innocent yet beautiful butterflies that float peacefully through the wind. Chasing them was the best part. If luck was present, one would be in my hands. There is nothing like a childhood memory.
