121 English Composition Matthew Bamberg April 22, 2013 From the moment I step into my grandfather’s van, I contemplate about reaching our destination.

The van ride is so smooth and country music is playing in the back ground and my grandfather seems like he is a peace on earth. He is focused on making it to our destination. The hour ride was scenic; I can see trees, lights and just more trees

What is it? Who is it? Go see!" and because he thinks someone is attacking the house, he jumps up with a rumbling growl and races out the open back door to bark like the world is ending. When he's done, he uses the facilities
