Personal Narrative: Alice

During the fifth year of my life, my mom gave birth to my little sister, Adreona and, a year later, Alona. The only thing, I liked about her

Alice Smith is a 28-year-old, single Millennium woman, whom is self-assertive. She is a secondary school teacher at Landis Intermediate School in Vineland New Jersey. Alice enjoyed the fundamentals of math, so she followed in her father’s footsteps. And became an 8 grade Mathematics teacher.

Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a story of a young girl’s journey down the rabbit hole into a fantasy world where there seems to be no logic. Throughout Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Alice experiences a variety of bizarre physical changes, causing her to realize she is not only trying to figure out Wonderland but also trying to determine her own identity. After Alice arrives in Wonderland the narrator states, “For this curious child was very fond of pretending to be two people” (Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland 12). This quotation is the first instance that shows Alice is unsure of her identity. The changes in size that take place when she eats or drinks are the physical signs of her loss of identity.

Who is Katelyn Ballard? Katelyn is a student, a sister, and most definitely, a pet lover. I am a senior at Franklin County and have lived here since May 30, 1998, which is my birthday. Even though I have lived here seventeen years, I have moved houses six times. I currently live on Tims Ford Lake with my Mom and step dad. I have one older brother, Cody, and two step siblings, Cade and Carly. I have two dogs, Dixie and my favorite, Marley. I enjoy high school, but just like every other senior; I am ready to be done. I plan on entering Motlow’s nursing program then furthering my education at MTSU to become a nurse practitioner. Taking care of people has always been an instinct of mine, so a job in the medical field is ideal for me. I enjoy writing

I walk into the Moore’s house, and go upstairs. I see Alice on the bed, and tell her. “Hey, I did it with Alec. Oh, and I also told him I loved him, and he said it back. I think I wanna marry him.” “Ok slow down there Anna.” “I know, I’m sorry its just the happiest I’ve felt since what happened.” I know, and that's fantastic lets just not ask him to marry you yet.” “Yea, I know. I should probably get some less revealing clothes on.” “Yea, I’ll be downstairs.” She tells me.

“Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a slowly progressive disease of the brain that is characterized by impairment of memory and eventually by disturbances in reasoning, planning, language, and perception.” (Howard Crystal) In Health 1000 we were asked to read the book Still Alice. I have never dealt with or have done any study on Alzheimer’s disease before reading this book. After finishing this book it has really opened my eyes to how bad of a disease and how it cripples the mind. I never imagined the effect of this disease on a patient and the patient family. This book is about a upper middle aged lady named Alice who is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, and how she and her family learn how to deal with disease. One of the things this book

In the process of creating the story Alice Hayes my partner and I frequently found ourselves questioning what would a person in her situation do and how can we tie this into what we discussed in class. But first we had to think of a character for our western, they had to be someone brave who had faced a tragedy that made them that way, but they couldn’t be like every cowboy western that we watched in class. It had to be something different, but still held the same values. This is what led to us making the main character a female. It had to be someone who isn’t normally the American Adam figure and who would do the same thing that a man would do. We named her Alice Hayes because we were saying names back and forth and Alice seemed to fit best and Hayes seemed like a good western name to put with Alice.

Throughout schooling, Ive had one authentic best friend, Rose, since middle school. Rose was like a bra, always there for support through the typical teenage drama to the enamoring of boys. We've crossed many paths including graduating together, but at some point in time one must go their own way,so we did. The internal change was beneficial as well as perturbing. I moved to Carrollton because my mom got a job at Tanner Hospital, which meant changing schools. Central was a bit different, I wasn't quite use to the rural setting yet, Rose was an individual that made me feel more at ease.It was an opening for trust, anticipated secrets, scoop of the school, and undiscovered journeys. Rose and I were about to become the Bonnie and Clyde of Central

I have raised my voice for, and will continue to raise my voice for, people less fortunate than myself. More specifically however, I often stand up for and help my autistic older sister, Abby. Ever since I can remember, I have felt obligated to fulfill my duty as a "little-big brother", because she is older than me. Whether it be taking her to school, taking her to baseball games, or playing "Dogoply" with her, I have tried to imprint a positive attitude on her so that she can continue to grow into an even greater person than she already is. One time after a football game junior year, I was hanging out with my classmates when the topic of Abby came up. They all talked about how they were the best of friends with her and how they loved her. Sure, all of

Six Perspectives of Alice There are six different perspectives we use in lifespan development; psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, humanistic, contextual, and evolutionary. No one is exactly the right one, as they all have different aspects of human’s personalities. Some make more sense than other perspectives, but they all have their rights to be logical. The psychodynamic perspective would say that Alice is having a hard time and putting less effort into math because she has some childhood trauma that is effecting her doing well.

Alice can be very childish, but throughout the story, she encounters many animals with human qualities that make her change her perspective of the world she lives in. The main obstacle in Alice's life is growing up. As she grows up, she looks at situations in a very distinctive way, such as the moment when alice meets the March Hare, The Mad Hatter, and the Dormouse. By the time the story is over, Alice is already a grown up because of all the experiences she confronted such as, the mad tea party, the encounter with the caterpillar smoking a hookah pipe, also Alice's encounter with the Red Queen during the croquet game and the trial.

The book I chose to read is called The Truth About Alice. Such an amazing novel, it is also the winner of the Children's Choice Book Awards. Everyone knows Alice slept with two men at Elaine's party. Quarterback, Brandon Fitzsimmons died in a car crash, Alice was the reason he died. Rumors are all around the school that Alice Franklin is a bad girl. It is written all over the stall in the girl’s bathroom. Alice had some intercourse for exchange of test answers. Sadly, Alice had an abortion last semester after she slept with the two men, names were Tommy Cray and Brandon Fitzsimmons. After Brandon dies the rumors start going out of control all over Healy High. This novel tells how everyone knows the secret about Alice, and they all reveal their

Survival means to be able to live and fulfill all your needs such as eating, etc. The theme of “survival” relates to this book because, the main character, Alice has been accused of murder when she hasn’t even committed any crimes and now, she has left her home. She has to flee in order to not be caught by the police. In addition, Alice uses strategic plans and different ideas to message her mom, to be able to survive without much money. In this text, Alice had to survive in challenging environments by acting normal [as if nothing happened] and finding transportation to go to places she needed to go to.

I saw Still Alice this week. I wanted to see the Glen Campbell movie (which I will watch later) but opted for this one first. What a stirring movie! Watching the progression of her decline, and realizing that she KNEW that she was affected, was very sad. It was heartening to see the support that her family gave her, even while dealing with their own issues. The fact that she was proactive on the front end, in obtaining the diagnostic testing helped her family be better able to understand what was happening and to support her. I love the fact that she and her daughter were able to have a better relationship, and that her daughter was truly able to see her mom, even when her mom had trouble seeing her earlier.

“… But’s that’s all it took. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything I knew and loved was gone…” Alice Bell, a sixteen-year-old who’s life wasn’t like a typical sixteen-year-old. Normal sixteen-year-old would be out with friends, at parties, having boyfriends, ex boyfriends. But that wasn’t the case with Alice; her over protected father was very strict with her. Alice and her only sister, Emma, weren’t even allowed to be outside when dark approaches. Her dad would patrol the surroundings of the house, with a rifle in hand, and scanning every movement. Her dad talked about the “monsters”, that these “monsters” would feed on you, infect you, and kill you. She thought her father was a lunatic. Although Alice has yet to see the “monsters”, her father did. But the night of her sixteen birthdays, Alice
