Snapshot 1:
Charlotte was having a diffcult time focusing in Ms O'Reilly's first period social studies class. She had to keep pretending there was a big red sign in front of her blinking PAY ATTENTION! This was unusual for her, because social studies involved one of her favourite topics——the adventures of famous people in history. But how on earth was Charlotte supposed to pay attention to Ms O'Reilly when her mind was on a differnt kind of adventure:the surprise adventure that she and Nick and Chelsea had been planning for weeks. The adventures she was supposed to announce to the whole class in five minutes!

Snapshot 2:
Charlotte felt her stomach do a somersault. It was bad enough she had been caught passing notes, but now she was going to be humiliated by having to share the note with the whole class. She probably should have been used to public humiliation by now considering herself as the class klutz. But Charlotte wasn't. To her, embarrassment was embarrassment no matter how many times it happened.

Snapshot 3:
There it was——finally the cheers and clapping she'd been waiting for. Of course people would be excited about a big beachside overnight on Cape Cod. Charlotte herself loved everything about the Cape——the sandy beaches, salt water taffing, sailing and digging for clams on the shore. Before moving with her father to Tanzania, then Australia and Paris,
they had spent several precious weeks on the Cape. And that was alreaddy enough to make Charlotte fall in love with it.

My own snapshot:
It was just like any other day in November——rainy, cool with the fire in the fireplace crackling. Father sat down on the massage chair, holding his cup of tea in one hand. He sipped his tea carefully, trying not to scald his lips. He set the cup on the coffee table, switch on the television,and spread his precious atlason the table. He loves looking at it. Studying it. My father and I both love geography. Father squinted at the map even with his glasses on, not to mention a magnifiying glass, too! His finger slide across the map and rested on a place——Singapore. Where we used to live...
