    Setting the Context: Let’s watch this!
    The Fourth Of July
    This summer, I spent the Fourth of July at
    Gibson Park with my family. My grandpa came to
    visit and celebrate the holiday with us.
    At the park, we needed to find a place to sit.
    There were more people there than grains of sand
    on a beach. We walked endlessly through a maze
    of blankets, picnic baskets and smells of various
    Fourth of July feasts. Finally I spotted a patch of
    grass in the sea of people so my brother and I
    quickly claimed the spot by spreading our own
    oversized blanket.
    My stomach rumbled, which let me
    know that it was time to prepare
    something to eat. I helped my grandpa
    make his world-famous cheeseburgers on
    our small grill. While cooking, grandpa told
    me funny stories about when my dad was
    little. We laughed so hard that we both
    forgot about the cheeseburgers, which
    ended up more burned than world-famous.
    Once the fireworks started, my
    eyes focused on the sky. The bright
    colours lit the dark night like a sunny
    afternoon. The patterns reminded me of
    sprinkles on top of birthday cakes. When
    I realized that the fireworks were
    reflected on the lake, it was like I was
    seeing two fireworks shows, one above
    and one below.
    After the fireworks finale, it was
    time to go home. With the fireworks and
    spending time with my grandpa, it had
    been a great Fourth of July.
    Deconstruction
