A Narrative Essay On A Fair

A World’s Fair is an “[I]nternational exposition that features exhibits dealing with commerce, industry, and science.” (World Book Encyclopedia 412) Entertainment is also present along with cultural activities. In 1893, the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, although inaugurated a year late, commemorated the discovery of America. I feel that the Exposition displayed some of the more beautiful architecture of its time; its immense buildings and sculptures drew heavily from Greek and other classical styles, and it could possible be because of the sweeping popularity in Beaux Arts architecture.

By the 1750s, the American colonies had come a long way from their original struggles and failures. They had grown in both population and economic stability. Even so, relations between the colonies and Great Britain were strained. The colonists became more and more discontented with England’s control of their political and economic affairs. The colonies were dissatisfied with the rules of British Mercantilism, or the idea that the colonies were a mere source of raw materials and market for the British mainland. This animosity for the motherland had then been seeded by the lack of economic freedom and the harsh taxes that had been set on everyday luxuries and necessities;

You will hardly come upon your first view within the pages of this book without realizing that you have been brought into contact with something altogether new, something new and at variance with the traditions of other days. If you are like most of us, you will wonder if the future is to look like this, and, if it does, what your place is to be in it.

Jenna felt her stomach begin to growl and she thought of the dinner her father had prepared for them before he’d left for work. Spaghetti and meatballs with cheesy garlic bread, her absolute favorite. The very thought of it was now making Jenna 's mouth water as she licked her lips in hunger. She silently wished that she would have eaten earlier with her father back when he had just finished cooking it. That was right before he had kissed her on the cheek, told her he loved her, and headed off to work the night shift as a paramedic at Saint Christopher 's Hospital. But, she was too excited about Halloween to eat just then, the anticipation of trick-or-treating being such a short time away filling her every thought with joy. She was a

When Alex wrecked and no one else could drive, we had to come up with a solution. I was out of the question because I refuse to get my license. Mrs. Logue asked Libby, A’Zariah, and Alex if they knew of any other way to go and sell ads. Alex said that on certain days she would be able to borrow her mother’s car. Because of that we decided that we would work on yearbook pages until Alex was able to get her mom’s car. When Alex could get it, we would go out and sell as many ads as we could. Once we got our car situation out of the way, we needed to figure out a way to get the money that was in Vidalia. Alex was in her mom’s car, so she wasn’t able to drive all the way to Vidalia. I said that we go buy groceries in Vidalia every weekend, so I

Society has set certain stereotypes to girls and women about what it is considered to be beautiful that girl’s focus more in their appearances than in their internal selves. Every girl deserves to feel beautiful because they all are, but how can girls think that they are beautiful if there is always that constant reminder of what being considered beautiful is. It is often seen on TV various shows where little girls are being judged by the way they walk, turn, how their makeup and hair is done and what they are wearing, and obviously their beauty. Society has set such high standards of what is considered beautiful and girls are being the victims of those standards. Girls now feel that they are not beautiful enough because they do not meet

The three girls are on their way to the party when out of nowhere Talia slams on the brakes. " Why did you do that," asked Allie. " Didn't you see that," questioned Talia in a terrified voice. " Uh, no," responded Allie. " What did you see," asked Kaylee. " I don't know, but what I do know is that it was tall and looked like a dark figure, it had a black mist surrounding it," replied Talia as she started the car again. Every one was silent until they got to the party. When they get inside they see a bunch of decorations, and surprisingly everyone they knew was there also. Talia still didn't trust the fact that it was on a forbidden road.

It is Thursday, August 24th, the opening day of the Minnesota State Fair. I am here with my family, a friend and his mom, and one of my sister’s friends. It seems so long since last year’s fair. I always look forward to the state fair, even though it’s pretty much the same every year.

My mom and I love theme parks, and what theme park is better than Disneyland! I’ve been to Six Flags Magic Mountain and Universal Studios constantly, but it’s been awhile since I’ve been to Dinseyland. There was a time when I even believed I hadn’t gone at all. The thought of me going seemed so rare and extraordinary because, well Disneyland costs a lot, but I was constantly told I had gone. I was only three then, we’d gone with my grandparents, and there was even pictures to prove it! So I finally gave in, admitting I’d gone, but I still wasn’t satisfied. So what I’d gone! I obviously didn’t remember that time! I deserved to go again! I was a good student, a good daughter, and I believed I really deserved a trip, no matter the expense or the distance! I waited it out though, suffering through the commercials and never missing a beat in telling my mom about the discounts on Disneyland tickets. Suddenly, on my ninth birthday, all my waiting was going to pay off. All my begging was finally going to cease. It was a colorful birthday, a few weeks before the actual date, and all my friends had come of course! My grandparents were there, and my aunt visited for a while before having to leave to an appointment. But it was odd, because before she left, she laid a piece of paper on the present pile and my mom was quick to swoop it up. So, throughout the party, I waited in anxious anticipation to open my gifts, not knowing that today was the day I was waiting for. Finally it was time for presents, and my whole body tensed, waiting for the paper. However, as I tore through wrapper after wrapper, I just couldn’t find my aunt’s gift! Where was the paper!! After unwrapping the final present, I stood up to hug all my friends, but my mother’s shout to wait instantly made me sit down. I blinked at her, how big she smiled and how excited

The author starts off the story with many details to the readers to show what the city of Chicago was like during this time. This was a good way to start the story because I was gaining background knowledge of the amount of violence that was going on during the time of the World's fair, and it showed that this was more of distraction away from all the bad things going on so that the American people could lift their spirits.
