Narrative Essay: The Case Of Jonathan Riojas

“Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous.” Rainsford is an experienced hunter who fell off a yacht, and swam to a nearby Ship Trap Island. Once he got on the island, he found shelter with a deadly General Zaroff. Great fear was then sparked in Rainsford when Zaroff forced him to be hunted in a three-day long game. Thus, Rainsford will most likely never hunt again after suffering through the damaging trauma of the game.

A saying i've kept to myself is to get back up when knocked down. This saying doesn’t just stand for getting up when literally knocked down but can keep a deeper meaning than what it says as for example being knocked down by a difficult obstacle to overcome and getting up to find a way to get past it and achieving it. Some people may not see this as something important but they don’t think about how getting up after knocked down can be something that can or would have been like a positive outcome into their life and how they are given two choices when knocked down which is to stay down or get back up and continue going forward.

Summer vacation, and school ends for about three months, and then you have as much fun as you can, then back to school… right? Well I had to go to summer school, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Everything was going fine, I had a job after summer school, and that was going fine as well. They say that summer is supposed to be fun and exciting, and it usually is for me and my family. However in July my father started coughing up blood. My father usually doesn’t make it his top priority to go to the doctors, so he waited about four weeks until he really didn’t feel good.

SSG Bob on 23 Sep 05 I had received a phone call at 1410 hrs. from SGT Bill stating that he had come into some money and that he had known that I was wanting to get some additional equipment for OUR SRT. SGT Bill stated that he needed myself to come in and type up a letter of justification and if I could also have SGT Jones come in as well to assist in writing this letter due to the fact that SGT Jones had been placed in charge of training folders. On notification of this I was on the phone notifing my soldiers of where they needed to be and in doing this I had also asked SPC Man if could also inform you of what I had going on in case he had seen you before me, but his telling you was not going to be your only notification, nor would I

He was walking onto the campus of his future college for the first time. “This is a place I can go. This is a place that I will enjoy.” He walked around with the name of the college echoing in his mind. “Case Western Reserve University. Case Western Reserve University.”

“Life is like a baseball game. When you think a fastball is coming, you gotta be ready to hit the curve.” -Unknown. Baseball is a game, one that is not timed, one that is not rushed either, but is only allowed twenty-seven outs. For some it means everything to them, for some the opposite. Even though it is just a game, the characteristics and necessities that come along with it, is what people don’t understand. Baseball can teach individuals, all ages, the tools they need to help themselves, schooling and their future. Within this comes the aspects of teamwork, self-confidence, and the importance of family.

We had been laying out Alpha sections truck when they pulled up. They proceed to hand over keys and locks to the vehicles so we could lay them out. The platoon immediately began to download these truck to finish out this long process of accounting for equipment. Most things had been pretty beat up and SSG Thomas had asked about replacements. It was about 1700hrs when a runner form the SQDN came and ask for SFC James to call the S-3. SFC James had been gone for about an hour and we had been counting BII for the trucks we had received from this poorly skilled scouts. SFC Lackey was waiting for him so they could both move through the equipment and check it. SFC James came back with an urgent mission according to him. Right then, we had to start pulling the trucks back together and getting our gear from the rooms. We had been spun up because there was a IED that the IA had found. We rushed to put together the trucks and rushed to get gear on. We spun up four trucks in less than 20 minutes. The senior guy was SSG Fielder, point man was SSG Thomas, and I was going to be the middle truck. When we pulled up to SQDN and SSG Thomas pulls me aside to speak to me about taking lead. That he wasn’t feeling taking lead. So I told he him I would and went up to meet SSG Fielder. I meet him in the ops center of SQDN and he asked where Thomas was. I told him SSG Thomas At that point SSG Fielder had gone to talk to the S-2 and the IED the IA had

Cameron Academy, the place where it all started for me. The first ever school that I had gone to. It was the place where I learned to fear anyone older and bigger than you because the teenagers there were not above fighting kindergarteners. Where I learned that the safest place to be after school was the office because the fights between the police and the students that took place outside on the front steps of the school were too brutal for me to witness; at least that's what my mom told me. That school was the place where I learned to be ashamed of any art that I may produce, to always keep it to myself, lest I be laughed at by the teachers. Cameron Academy is where I learned that “bad” kindergarteners who were in Ms. Valorie’s class got beat up.

On 11 SEP 15, I was working as Patrol unit 1L27. I was driving a fully marked OPD vehicle # 1243 and I was wearing full OPD wool uniforms.

When I was near to eight years old, I walked outside when my father got home that nice warm summer day. I went over to where he was by his truck and trailer to find that he was detaching chains from an old Farmall M that had been oxidized entirely and the motor and transmission had been seized entirely. “It was a cotton picker down in Texas” he said, “she’s definitely seen better days but we’ll make it look brand new”. Bang, thump, ssss was all you could hear as we loosened the binders that held the pile of rust to the trailer and took the shackles back to the tool box.

Ares Eugene could have held this little shindig in a designated public space on his local non-competitor’s own campus, Bamzonia E-liners, and never had a worry because the real security was imbedded and satellite and policed on the nano-second in a small box somewhere under the Arizona Sea. So, this week’s mandatory fun was hosted in the lobby of the Magna Campus sales hub and the three story glass walls were imbedded with interactive reps of next year’s media models. All the while I stood with my back to the expansive bar and made mouth work on a Rippling Pine vodka splash while Mary Marks and Shad Aelfe discussed the finer points of something technical across my shoulders. A drink was expected so I had a drink. The vodka was to have something to hold, couldn’t risk the scotch at a party like this. Ares liked to impress and the chance of a new and more importantly good scotch was too high, the vodka was nice enough make me consider expanding my repertoire. Nice enough to offer me a slight distraction from the two acquaintances I was standing between.

In Compton there are only two rules, the blood's own the streets and Trey and Dequan can't be beat.

While reading any composition of literature, the reader must address how they will connect with the text. To do this, the reader considers different forms of literary criticism. There are an abundance of approaches to literary criticism. For the purposes of looking at “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” by Robert Louis Stevenson and “Greasy Lake” by T.C. Boyle, the narratological approach will be used here. The narratological critical approach to assessing literature expects that the audience reads to “understand how events are constructed and through what point
