Destination: Personal Narrative Analysis

I partially agree that characters learn more from their journey then from their destinations simply because without knowing your destination is just like your externals when you pick a certain question and you begin to write from beginning to end but you didn't relate what you had written to the question because you were so fixated on what was in front of you not referring to the question

One of the biggest misconception is “life is about the journey, not the destination.” This quote is basically saying the outcome of what you do is less important than the experiences you face along the way. What would your ride to school matter if you didn’t get to school? What would you purchasing ingredients for a recipe mean, if you didn’t make the recipe? What would reading a book matter if it didn’t have an ending? Everything would be aimless if it didn’t have an ending. Both The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost explore the central idea of journey versus destination. The Alchemist is a book about a shepherd boy named Santiago who goes on a journey to achieve his personal legend. “The Road Not Taken” is a poem about a man who comes at a crossroads; he must decide what

There for proving Roberts quote, that we all had a better time on the journey than arriving. the point is to arrive at the destination, the journey has the most memorable moments. Reid McNemar Taylor English Pre ap February 29th 23 Reality

The purpose of a journey should be reasonable and have intentions of resulting into a

What happens when you complete your journey? In the texts “Back Roads” by Vinnie Rotondaro and “A Winter’s Drive” by ReadWorks the authors explain that when you take life slow and pursue the journey you reward will be waiting. Both stories have characters who go on a journey, whether it's to canada or just a trip, go slowly and pursue their trip to find their prize at the end. The characters in “Back Roads” decide to take the back roads instead of the highway and end up finding a small town with beautiful discoveries. The character in “A Winter’s Drive” wants to go back to his old house in Canada but is worried what he is looking for won't be there. He goes forth with the journey and finds what he is looking for is right where it was. In both

At one point Drake said, “Sometimes it’s the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination”. Most of the times your experience helps you learn a valuable lesson, which would utilize throughout your entire life. In The Odyssey, by Homer, Odysseus goes to a trip, where he learns that he needs to rescue his throne and wife, Penelope. Also, when the Cyclops had captured Odysseus and his members, Odysseus made the correct choice and saved everyone. In The Cruelest Journey, the main character or the author, Kira Salk, go to Niger River, where she uses her own knowledge to terminate obstacles and learn the following task. In The Journey, by Mary Oliver, the character learns that she needs to leave all the negativity back and start a new journey. As a result, for every character or real people to set up on a journey they need the mental state because mental state is like a boss that helps connect with the concept, which can help them learn new lessons.

Another theme in Walk Two Moons is it's not the destination that counts, but the journey. “Lewiston had been a gift from gram and gramps to me. They were giving me a chance to walk in my mother's moccasins to see what she had seen and feel what she might have felt on her last trip.” (Page 262) When Sal was on her journey to find her mother, she was worried she wouldn’t come back to her. Sal was worried if her mom wouldn’t come back then she would have to live with Margaret and her father.

Journey To The Unknown: The Analyzation of “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?”

Expectation is the feeling about something might happen in the future. Experience is what has already happened to people. Experience and expectation can have a real impact on people’s mood and situation. When people’s experience is unlike their expectation, they can be down and despairing. In the essay “On Habit”, Alain de Botton states that the happiness people get from journey is more rely on the mindset people have than on the places they travel to. De Botton feels extremely annoying to be home after coming back from Barbados. Everything around him is meaningless and boring due to the decades he lived in that neighborhood. After reading Xavier de Maistre’s Journey around My Bedroom, De Botton pretends that he is

An example of when the journey matters more than the destination is when you learn to be a better person from the journey. In “The Odyssey” by Homer is an epic poem about a man that learns important lessons on a 20 year journey. An example of this is “Though living still I took ship for holy Troy. Seeing this ghost I grieved, but held her off, though pang on pang of tears.” (Homer 616) I chose this evidence because this is where he showed his soft side for the first time. This proves that every person even the strongest

Great changes can come from scary experiences. For me, it was trips to two different hospitals and an infection that led me to recognize my privileges and become a mature person. I’ve never been fond of hospitals, especially after my visit to one in China. That trip left a scarring image of hospitals in my mind-a scary, dark place I wanted to avoid. However, my first encounter with hospitalization in America was surprisingly pleasant and nurturing; it contrasted greatly with the gruesome conditions I witnessed overseas.

For instance, when Kamaswami sends Siddhartha out to collect a rice harvest from a nearby and Siddhartha returns a few days later Siddhartha returns and says that “the rice was already sold to another merchant. However, Siddhartha remained in that village several days, entertained the farmers, gave money to the children, attended a wedding and returned from the the journey satisfied.”(Hesse 67,68). This shows that even if we don’t get in the reasons for a journey that we can enjoy the journey itself. We can enjoy what the location has to offer, because more often than not the outcome of experiences like this are far greater than what we originally planned to do.

Back in 8th grade like a lot of teens I became really distant from school and my work ethic became something atrocious. I felt this way about school because the mind set I was in had me thinking that most of school was useless and how was this going to help me. My friends were an extremely big part of my life so I would often put them first. My attitude was bad towards my parents and that stopped after 8th grade year but the bad habits continued. This was until last year when I finally realized that in the real world you can’t just ignore what you have to do. My parents had shown and told me what was going to happen and I really didn’t want to go down that road. I feel like the two people who impacted my life so much were my parents even when my dad was deployed and my mom trying to hold a job through a bad series of events. I knew that I didn’t want to feel the pain that my dad feels having to work in the military which he has slowly started to dislike. I also

In conclusion an individual’s journey could always involve the process of learning, maturation and self-discovery as a personal development. Therefore inner journeys increase our personal knowledge and understanding of others, although the play Away by Michael Gow and the film To Kill a Mockingbird by Robert mulligan involve three types of journey. They all demonstrated the inner journey throughout the play and the film giving us an understanding of an individual’s journey could have an impact on others. I would like to end my speech with a quote by Greg Anderson ‘Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing

My wife is not a keen road traveler, but she endures the road because of the destination. For example, the thought of spending some much-needed rest at the beach is worth the trip. In situations, like these we do not think of the journey but what awaits us at the end of the journey. Life is a journey that takes us to one of two destinations and even though the journey maybe challenging at times for believers, we know what awaits us at the end of this journey. Our text today teaches us that the destination is worth the journey. Revelations 21:1-5 reassures us that despite all the challenges and trials we face in life, there is a better life awaiting us. It’s a text that gives us hope and keeps us going when the going is though. It’s a text
