What is Italy like

 Please note    This post will only make sense if u know  Welcome to Holland  by Emily peril Kingsley.

  I was born in Holland.  A land of windmills and  trollops.  but sometimes I wonder what is Italy like Most of my family  are Italian  so naturally I wonder what  it is to be Italian too.  I land of pizza and history. 

  I  wonder what it feels to be able to  speak the Italian dialect to  be so easily understood most everyone around  seems to know how to speak  it fluently. Like the  land in which it originated  in Italian seems so grand . I have tried  and tried to speak it but still people do not understand.

 I wonder what it  is like to be from Italy.  To blend in with the crowd. Too not have to prove  myself worthy   and that I do know what  to do.  I wonder what is like too ride a moped  with the wind through your hair. I will never know what it is like to be from Italy.

  I will never know what it feels like to  be a full bread Italian , but I have a rough idea.   I have  met many people from Italy and  have played some Italian games learned some stuff  from the banks of Venice.  Some people  call it  a  Inclusion ,but to me it is  more then  a word.    can help me understand   Italy and it;s people which is so important  because Italy has so many people  and sights and a sounds : while Holland has so few. I learn to be  a Hollander  alongside  the Italian  because  there is so much in Italy to discover  and the more I discover  maybe my parents   dreams  of creating similar thing will come true.   Holland has it  tulips  and is known for it slower pace  and I was  born into  this but   when it comes down  to it  I  still need food  shelter and lots  of love, Because   if I can not get the full   Italian experience I can get the whole experience of love

A chunk of chapter three

   the backround is Alixes  Bounding  a teenager  with CP   is now a freshman at Algond high school in Medowlake  which is a town in the unitiied states. She wants to try out  for  her high school's basketball team.


Jim Stickler    was  what you  call a   highly  respectable  coach .   His  teams  were the ones that won championships and  his  players were the ones  who got  the scholarships   for collage  and  news  reports  in the   Meadowlake    times newspaper.  He   was a   alumina of    Algon High school and in his day  been  MVP in  football baseball and basketball, now  as a  coach and  head of the athletic department   he  wanted to  keep the   Algon high school  altheic  program  to the same standards  as     they had when he  went there  in his  youth.  This  year  he   was drafted  to coach the  ladies  varisty basketball team  as well as oversee the  freshman and sophomore  basketball  progam   too.

 Tryouts  were   the week after Halloween  on  a  Wednesday.   On that Wednesday  he was assigned to  cheek  in the    junior varsity  players.  So far it seemed  to  go well a  lot of the freshman  girls    had some  height and    fairly  good academic records, Jim had spent the   Tuesday night  looking over the  players   grade  as  was  standard  proitcall for      players  to sign up to clear  grades   before trying  out . It  seemed to be  turning out to   be a successful  normal  season of basketball  for the  Algon   Saber  Tooth  tigers     that was  until   a freshman  showed   up.

  She  was   skinny and     tall   jim would have  guessed that she was around  58  with honey colored  skin and  a  orange  t shirt    shorts and shoes.  A  promiseing  player  indeed     Jim tought  as  he asked “Name,”

“Alecus,”  Jim header  her  say  with doorl. His heart sunk    the girl  was not promising    she    seemed  to Jim to have belonged   in the special  education classes  , a sped  student.

 Sorry   what  Jim said and    strained  to decipher the  name from the  anomaly  speech

Althus       said the girl 

Athena

  No    the  girl  yelled and   tried again with little  success.
