Personal Narrative: Alice Smith's Life

Alice Paul had a very interesting and eventful life. She was born on January 11, 1885, in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey. She grew up with a Quaker background and attended Swarthmore college. At the time women picked latin or english as their topic of study, but Alice had already mastered that so she picked biology. She was in a class with mostly men so from a young age she felt different. In 1906 through 1909, Alice was in london and she became politically active and was not afraid to use noticeable strategies in support of a cause. Furthermore, she joined the Women's Suffrage movement in Britain and on many occasions she was arrested. While Alice Paul and her supporters fought for Women’s rights, and the people that were against women’s rights

Have you ever heard of Alice Paul? If not she was the first women to fight men to let women vote. I’m glad that women can vote how about you? So now I will talk about how she was as a child to her middle age, to her as an adult.

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.

Alice enters my office wanting to work on her anxiety and mood changes. There were some general goals aligned with her assessing a desire to be less anxious and to control sudden mood changes. She also stated she would like to turn her life around, but has no idea where to start. Alice notes she is not bleak. She has enough guts to leave a lot of her shady past behind and enrolled into college.

It was the year 1922 and life hadn’t been this good in a while, times had taken a big change for the best. In Manhattan, New York, there were extravagant parties every weekend; the whole city shows up and doesn't leave until they see the sun. There was once this wealthy family living right in the middle of the roaring twenties. There was a mom, a dad, an older sister named Alice, and a younger sister named Anna. Alice loved to go to all of the huge parties, meet new people, and not come home until the morning. Every time Alice would get ready to go out for the night, Anna would watch her get ready as if she was picturing that was herself. Anna looked up at her sister and wanted to do everything she did. Alice had been talking about this party for a long time, and the night

Another factor that turns Alice into a hero is her slow confrontation of fear. Alice’s fear accompanies her from the beginning of the movie. Fear of meeting other’s expectations, fear of how her future will unfold and it causes her nothing but stress. She seems to be one of those people who tend to be caught in awkward situations which puts more pressure on her shoulders and makes her unsure of what to do. Her fear of other people in general might not be as noticeable as her fear of appearance to other people.

As high school freshmen, most kids do not get very excited about walking into their College Preparatory Biology class, but I sure did! Everyday I looked forward to Mrs. Wilson's 3rd period biology lesson because she never disappointed. Mrs. Wilson was a special kind of teacher, she was the type to turn boring lectures into a captivating learning tale and had the gift of making tests enjoyable with her creative illustrations. Yes, you read that right, I enjoyed her tests. One day, Mrs. Wilson presented us with a demanding project; “Okay class, I am challenging you to create the BEST “Bunnimoose.” she announced. As we sat there with puzzled faces, she went further into explanation.

Jane and I grew up in grade school together. She was in the class ahead of me, but her and I were still friends. My father was into politics and involved himself in whatever he could with Jane's dad. Since our fathers were away quite often, we would spend a lot of time together. Since Jane didn't have a mother, my mother would often include Jane in whatever my sisters and I were doing. We would have great talks together talking about what we wanted to do when we grew up. Even though neither one of us knew what we wanted to do, Jane was someone that always had the biggest heart for helping people. She was always talking about the stories her father told her about President Lincoln, and even though she didn't know how, she knew she wanted to be someone to make change like he did.

My name is Rebecca Cooper I was born on June 17 1998 in San Diego California in a hospital called ciser perminente childeren’s hospital. I lived there until I was 7 then I moved to little old Corvallis Monana where I currently live. I started public school in 3 grade but due to the fact I can’t read I was put back a grade. I have moved around this whole Bitterroot valley but maintained my education in the Corvallis school district. I am currently an eleventh grader in Corvallis High

“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.

My name is Alexandria Russell and I am 23 years old. My hip are 33 inches, my waist is 27 inches, my bust size is 31 inches at 32C, I weigh 121 pounds, and I am five foot seven inches. I really enjoyed talking with you on the phone today. I will call ADC and Wilhelmina agency to tell Ryan _____ that you referred me to him. I am willing to travel to Oahu to do modeling and acting jobs. If an opportunity presented itself to travel around the world I would be open to it.

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.

“ You don’t need to apologise. It is totally my fault for startling you .” She still couldn’t believe that she voiced her thoughts out loud. She usually kept it to herself, but she was just surprised with girl’s detailed instructions. There was a lot of thought and effort put into it and it was quite impressive.

Alice has an overbearing mother who is very critical of her. This has obviously put a strain on their relationship. Though much of the dynamics did not play out on screen it was implied that a rocky relationship exists between Alice and her mother whereas the opposite was true between her and her father. Alice has a lot of internalized frustration and anguish over her relationship with her parents and her family, especially Michael. She drinks to suppress her true feelings and control her anxiety as much as possible. The family as a whole is really struggling with boundaries and this is leading to triangulation. These are normal patterns of a dysfunctional family. No one in the Green family had a clear identity (not even Amy, the nanny; her role should have been clearly defined). These are signs of diffused boundaries and enmeshment. Each member was stuck in the same position and there was no room for individual growth and freedom until they went to treatment.
