Personal Narrative Analysis

Firstly, she uses an unemotional tone to promote her credibility as a woman politician. Instead of using flowery language and going into a fit of hysteria, which the audience expected from a woman speaker, she used concise vocabulary and kept a level head. She speaks “briefly and simply” to also show the urgency of this crisis facing the nation. In addition, she states, “I don’t want to see the Republican Party ride to political victory on the Four Horsemen of Calumny—Fear, Ignorance, Bigotry, and Smear.” This shows the audience that she wants a Republican victory, but without using tactics of the Democrats. Margaret Chase Smith remains poised, proving this is not a fit of hysteria, which gains credibility from the American public.

First, we explained to her the problems with political polarization, and how the political parties are more divided than they ever have been with the passing of the presidential election. One main reason we emailed her was to bring her attention to the issue plaguing our election system, we wanted to hear her stance on it. We also proposed in the email that she should replace the current election system with a nonpartisan election system, a system where candidates can not identify themselves as Republican, Democratic, or

Constantly running around chasing the next story does not seem ideal. Walking back comments that should not have been said seems like a tough task to do. It seems as if connections are the most common way to find yourself working on the hill. This has made me think that over the next few years I need to network as well as possible to try and land a job here. Her comment about joining a campaign has made me rethink my future. After hearing her thoughts on campaigns I would really like to work on one and experience another side of being an elected

Overall I really enjoyed signing with her because I thought she signed very clear, she wasn’t impatient and she could speak very well. I wouldn’t mind if we had to interview or talk with her again. I think it is extraordinary how deaf people can be great friends with hearing people because even though there so different they still get along. Also in the past people wouldn’t be friends with deaf people because they all believed they would perish in hell since they couldn’t hear the word of God. I also think it is amazing how a deaf female could be such a great mother to her hearing child because, she has to teach the important things of life without commutating as much as hearing

She takes part in meetings, gives speeches, and becomes more political than

(Unfortunately, the interview was conducted by email. Her response were not retyped, just copied and pasted from the original email)

However, she was able to speak on ObamaCare for what she has seen on commercials. She knows that there is a need for affordable and accessible health care.

When I was 18, I have had many experiences in my life where I was pressured to quit school. From not having the proper learning from educators to having blocking obstacles in the way for me to learn. Especially back in high school, I was always the student to ask questions if I did not understand projects or homework. I would never agree to something I was ordered to do and didnt know enough information to get it completed. As time went on in high school, I eventually gave up. I started to wonder why I was not paying attention to education but to something that had much less value, social life. I begin to realize that all of my friends have dropped out and had begin to live life. Not knowing dropping out of school would have affected me, I

Kevin and I stepped into a whole new world in the fall of 2009. We began our degree program at Emmanuel School of Religion, which is now called Emmanuel Christian Seminary. We were working on our Masters of Arts and Religion. I was excited and nervous about going back to college. Our first day was terrifying. Kevin and I attended orientation the week prior to classes starting. There was a definite realization this academic program was going to be a challenge. However, I wanted a challenge. On the first day of class, we started with Greek. Our professor was Dr. Marwede. He opened the class with a test. He came over to my chair first and handed me a paper with a list of Greek words on it. My immediate reaction was shock, which Dr. Marwede realized I was overwhelmed by the look on my face. He told the class we could take it home as homework. Many of the students in the Greek class had previous experience with Greek; however, Kevin and I had no knowledge at all. We were overwhelmed. We were assigned five chapters and told to return the next day for a quiz with our homework.

Growing up, my parents and I always took the time to read stories together. Before bed, before school, while playing with dolls in the bathtub. Fiction and nonfiction stories alike taught me about both the physical, literal world around me, and the world I could create in my own mind when I needed to find comfort. It was through the works of fiction, however, that I learned despite the hardships of life, I could disappear into a world I could mold however I pleased.

From time to time, it was not easy trying to read my interviewee. I did not know if Ms. Jones was comfortable with me or not. She had no problem answering my questions and she was descriptive. She had this calmness and she never rushed an answer. I wanted to talk about something she likes, so I would ask her questions, such as what is your favorite tour stop to talk about. I think both of our favorite question was when I asked who her favorite African-American activist was. She said Maya Angelo. I thought that was ironic being that way she talked and her presence reminded me of Maya

I thought it was going pretty good so far. Next, I asked her what her opinion was on, “The Martian” by Andy Weir, was. She said she liked it and that it was one of the most technologically sound science fiction books she has read. She also added that Andy Weir directly used a mars colonization plan that the Mars Society had come up with. I asked her if she was ok with that and she said she was flattered. I then asked her if there were things the government could be doing better regarding Mars colonization and if so what? She said that she just wants them to cooperate more. “How would you feel about being a volunteer on a mission to Mars?” was my next question, she said that she would be very excited and very scared. I then asked, “What do you wish people understood better about Mars colonization?” to which she responded with, “I wish people knew just how important it is. I wrapped up the interview with my final question, “What is the most interesting question you have heard about Mars colonization and how was it answered?” She said that the question that angers her the most is “why worry about Mars colonization when we have so many problems at home?” She says she dislikes this question because there will always be problems at home no matter what so why not focus on going to Mars? I wished her the best and after that we said our

She gives minor details to answer her own question and does not elaborate on them much if at all. She begins to tell a story about a team that brings people together to discuss/anticipate changes and what course of action to take before they arise but quickly cuts it off and goes to a new subject. I personally would have liked to hear more on the subject with more detail because even with help and diversity in the workplace this question may not be very hard to answer, but can be tough to answer in an effective

I saw her once before and she looked very intimidating to me, she seemed unapproachable. I already assumed that a person like me can't afford to talk to someone like her, she was one intelligent woman. In class, when we got to know her my impression changed. Its true indeed that she was intelligent, but she wasn't intimidating at all. Whenever she speaks, I am in awe. Her intellect, her confidence, and her expertise in research is something to look up to. I can feel the warmth of her heart and the sincerity of her encouragements that we can pursue our study. We really need encouragements nowadays and she didn't fail to give us

Before this, she asked three questions to Siddharth Shankar Ray. Her first question was, can a letter regarding internal democracy be written to the president without consulting the cabinet. Second, she questioned him regarding the language and tone of the letter. And lastly, she questioned him regarding the content of the
