Karina's Story!(:

The story I most relate to is "The Scarlet Ibis." I relate to this story because of the sibling rivalry. My older sister has always been better than me, at pretty much everything. Of course, I always try to prove her and others wrong. Things always come out wrong, though. And in the end, I'm the one that isn't better and the one that is in trouble. One time we were fighting to see who was faster at putting up dishes. (Yes, we fight over the smallest and most dumb things ever.) Well, we were putting the dishes up and she pushed me so I wouldn't hurry. This got me really, really mad. So I sort of went off on her. I started swinging, punching, and kicking. She also did the same. Gave her at least four good hits and she only got one. I felt good, like I had actually beaten her in something. Literally. But, like always, my mom came in and saw that only I was hitting. She didn't see her and I got grounded. Had all of my electronics taken away for two weeks. It was pretty bad. After that time, my sister and I have never fought. Well, not as bad as that once.(:
