Narrative Essay - Original Writing

A woman becoming Pharaoh had been almost unheard of in ancient Egypt until Hatshepsut was born. Hatshepsut was the second daughter of the pharaoh, Thothmes I. After her sister, Neferu-khebit, died, Hatshepsut was the next heir to the throne unless a male married her and became Pharaoh. After Thothmes passed away, Hatshepsut fearfully, yet confidently, claimed the throne and commenced one of the most successful She-Pharaoh reigns ever recorded. Pauline Gedge’s Child of the Morning explained the social, political, economic, and cultural aspects of ancient Egypt’s society during Hatshepsut’s reign as Queen and Pharaoh.

Pharaohs were governors of the Ancient Egyptian realm who broadcasted themselves as sons of gods who upheld Ma’at – the Egyptian order of life. Most pharaohs ruled in a typical and expected way carrying the beliefs of their ancestors- though not all ruled this way.

Though he used traditional means to incorporate his changes he did so in an atypical way. After all his attempts at reform all was forgotten when he died and Egypt returned to the religious beliefs it had beforehand. This essay will analyse historical evidence that demonstrates

Hello there! I am Pharaoh Hatshepsut. Your probably know that pharaohs are usually boys. Well, that when it changes… I’m actually a girl! That is probably one of the reasons why I’m so great.

Well, the flooding of the Nile River ended up having the farmlands flood. That was very bad! All the farmers got mad and it was hard to harvest food. Everything was ruined. I ended up wishing for the flooding of the Nile River not too much, just enough

So it does take a lot of courage to be an Egyptian pharaoh. I learned about the uniting of Egypt and about the leadership that affected uniting Egypt, religion and politics, and about how rulers affected trade, business and conflict. This gave a lot of information of what it takes to be a pharaoh. But what I feel a little sad about is about power. Power gives other people to attack and possibly lose their territory. It just seems unfair to me. But I learned a lot from these pharaohs and I hope to learn more about them in the

Because the Pharaoh was considered to be the most important being in ancient Egypt he lived a life of luxury. He had fine food banquets, expensive textiles, and many slaves to do his daily tasks. The Pharaoh would wake to receive a banquet of fruit and bread, followed by a bath in clean water, then be draped in a fine linen cloth before starting his work for the day. This process of eating, bathing and dressing would be repeated up to 3 times a day with the help of slaves. The Pharaoh’s life was not hard and would have been the most wanted position

Pharaoh Amenemhat I of the 12th Dynasty of Egypt, had a trusted courtier by the name of Sinhue. Sinhue was well-known and loyal to the Pharaoh and his family. One day, Sinhue overheard a conversation between Pharaoh’s son, Senusert, and a carrier that Pharaoh was assassinated. “The Tale of Sinhue” is a poem that captures his adventure and ordeals after learning about Pharaoh’s death.

I haven’t been able to talk to you diary… I just can’t. That day in the park, was the worst. I’m not sure if I can keep calm while I tell you this, but, the news is just horrible. As I told you before, mother and I couldn’t find father for quite some time, so we went over to the general. He told us something that I just can’t bare to say again after this. He said that father never came back from the very last battle they had. He told us he was shot and instantly died. At that moment I was frozen. I looked at mother and I could tell she was too. Everything just stopped and I had to close my eyes. Oh diary, I can’t speak of this any more. It’s too hard to think about.

There was a certain feeling of dread hanging in the air. Everyone was crowded around the royal bed, there was no sound in the silent room other than the pharos occasional rusty cough. Death was edging closer with every passing second. He had been on a ventilator for over a year now and it seemed like life was coming to an end for him very soon and it might be a matter of minutes before he's no more. He held his son Ibrahim’s hand and whispered “Take care of your”- but before he could finish his sentence he lost his battle against cancer. Suddenly the silent room burst into tears as the sons realized they had just lost their hero, as the pharaoh's wife just realized she had lost the man of her life, cries could be heard from outside the palace as everyone in Cairo just lost their beloved leader at the sheer age of 66.

I was about ten years old when this happened. It was in the fall of fifth grade, and I had just gotten settled into the new school year. My dad was deployed to Kuwait, and so for the time being it was just my mom, my brother, and I. He had been deployed previously, so I was used to him being away for months at a time.
