Bunking Narrative

As much as I loved living in Mexico as a child I always missed my father, I spend 6 birthdays, 6 Christmases, and 6 Father’s days without him. Even though he called every single day, my sister and I needed him to be in our lives physically. I know it was also very difficult for my parents to be apart and my dad suffered deeply but he was sacrificing to give us a better future. In the summer of 2007, when

September 9th started like any other day, but it didn’t take long before it was the strangest day I’d had in awhile. I came to school at 7 am since it was early in the year, and I still was adjusting to my new classes and new students. The new year was one I was especially looking forward to. I had just won the Teacher of the Year award after only my third year and my students and I all created a bond.

It’s Thursday, September 15 my supervisor Sherry Smith calls me into her office and tells me I have to go to Northwest Miami-Dade to evaluate a family of four. The first thing that comes into my mind is, “Oh great another Hispanic family.” She explains that there have been several domestic abuse complaints and they need me to be there by 6 o’clock today. I look at the time and it’s already 4:50 PM. Our office is in Fort Lauderdale; all I can think about is the traffic while making assumptions of the family. The last thing she ends with is, “Call me if you need me, I don’t want another melt-down.” In my last journal entry, I wrote about how I was in Northwest Miami-Dade and I had my third Hispanic family, but our values didn’t coincide even

Confirmation is a hard, difficult process that comes with many sacrifices. At my school getting confirmed was a huge deal, but I never understood why. I thought it was just a redo of my baptism. As it turned out, it was a lot more important than I thought, and the journey leading to my confirmation was a very critical one.

Hello mom I wanted to ask you a question and give you reasons why I want this thing. So you and I both know that I want to go live with my dad in New Mexico, But you don’t know all the reasons why. I want to live there not only to be with my family, but with the friends that are like family to me and that will always be my family. I also want to live there to grow up and become an actual man doing manly things instead of working at a business and sitting around all day long. I also do not like the city life because of all the obnoxious people that don’t care about you. I know you will never let me go live there, but for you to let me go you have to realize how great my life would be there with all of the nice strangers and friends I have there.

As the employer I have no legal right to force or coerce this employee to take any medication, therefore there is no course of action that I should follow. However, if this employee is not able to perform his job, I have the right fired him. Keeping an employee that can created a danger environment on the workplace can subsequently have greater repercussions for the business.

The article, Heroes and Lies: Storytelling Tactics among Paramedics, is my favorite article because I feel like I not only learned something from this article, but I also have a new perspective about humor. During the first few pages of the article, I was disgusted and confused about how a person could twist a serious story into a joke. The worse story was about a paramedic comparing a burnt victim to food, he says “He had chemical burn over ninety-nine percent of his body…just smelled like burned toast…. Just makes you want to go out and have char-broiled food or something” (49), but now I understand why the paramedic told the joke. He was attempting to bring a sense of normalcy to a hectic situation.

Can you please elaborate further on what exactly you are looking to see or for me to explain in regards to my research question and hypothesis? You mentioned in your comments: "The research question needed to be identified by name in the narrative and be stated in one sentence that is pithy". This has been in my paper for the last week and seemingly; I assumed that it was correct and reflected concise thought in it. You did not provide any feedback on this for Week 4, is there something that I am not understanding?

The way in which a story is organized or complied adds to the ideas, themes, and character of the story. A frame narrative is a way in which a story is told were a main story leads reader into other stories within. Essentially a frame narrative is a story within another story. As in the story One Thousand and One Night the frame narrative is used to tell many different stories within the main story. Although the stories in One Thousand and One Nights are separate from the main story the stories are still relative to the main idea. In One Thousand and One Night the separate stories within are used to delay execution of one of the main characters. In the story of Canterbury tales the frame narrative is used to pass the time of a long journey

One of the biggest change I made was changing the narrator of the story. I decided to change it to a third person narrator to give myself more flexibility in terms of description because I felt like the first person narrator limited what I was able to describe. However, writing in the third person also proved to be challenging. The different POV changed the tone and voice of the story. Plus I couldn’t decide on which girl was the main protagonist of the story. As I delved into both girls’ mind through third person narrative they both became more interesting, and it was harder for me to decide on one main character. Now the subject of the story keep shifting between both girls.

Standing over Jaydin Charlson thats on the ground crying. Feeling excited but at the same time scared, because we are behind the ANNEX wondering if we are going to get in trouble or if we are not going to.

It is also assumed that the act of telling a story can provide insight into past, present and future events (Espinoza, 1997). By going through this process, individuals can find the importance of certain events and assign roles to people who are a part of their story. This act can allow a client to find new meaning and understanding to their reality (Espinoza, 1997). Not only is a

There are many different opinions on what the difference are with a lie and storytelling. I believe that a lie is something you tell someone to deceive them, such as a little kid telling their parents they ate all their vegetables when in reality they put them in the trash under a napkin or fed it to the dog. A storyteller is another thing when a person is telling them something to entertain them. An example of a storyteller would be if that little kid told the parents that a dragon came down and ate their vegetables because he needed it more than he did. Although a lie can be used for many reasons, like lying about a birthday party for your best friend. That example is still a lie even though it was used for good. The storytelling is used

Socrates is a man of great controversy. He has been portrayed as many different personalities such as a sophist to a great philosopher to just a vocal old man. The true nature of Socrates is to be questioned. He spoke his thoughts on life and what his philosophy on life was. A couple arguments that he spoke about really stood out about lying. These arguments had brute force and were made very clear through his dialogue. According to his dialogue, he felt that there were two different types of lies.

What are lies? A lie is defined as follows: To make a statement that one knows to be false, especially with the intent to deceive. There are several ways that lies are told for instance, there are white lies, lies of omission, bold faced lies, and lies of exaggeration. No matter what type of lie that one chooses to tell many people believe that lies do more harm than good.
