Abandoned Disney amusement park projects 

walking into the abandoned area filled with rusty roller coaster tracks, the vines were hanging loosely from the railings where birds had began to make their nests. the trees reached out spindly branches trying to grab any trespassers, it was scary and eerie yet it was a sort of blissful peace. it was like a kingdom that no one had yet discovered.
gravel shuffled underneath my feet causing sharp little pains travel up my nerves. my hands shook as i walked cautiously up to the rusted roller coaster. it shifted lightly with the wind making deep screeching sounds, it sounded as if a large bird was trapped underneath the crumbling structure. These were the rides that no one would ever get to see, or experience the thrill of. it was sad yet peaceful something that most people will never witness.

Text to self:

Some of the text was about struggling with confidence which I have dealt with before, I adopted a motto that had helped me with my confidence like the characters in the book had.

Text to world;

I think the greater lesson in this novel is to do what you enjoy, live a carefree life because we don't all live forever, we must do what pleases us or we may never find true happiness or self pride.

Text to text :

The character is struggling with finding out who he is, is he an independent man who lives only to make money and impress the people around him or is he the man that is falling for a love he will never quite capture.
