Personal Narrative: Hey Santa Swiping

David Sedaris explains the different holiday practices Americans and the Dutch have. He talks about how Americans and Dutch people celebrate Christmas, also how they view the tale of Santa Claus. As Sedaris says, the American figure, Santa Claus, is “jolly and obese,” yet the Dutch figure, Saint Nicholas, is portrayed as “painfully thin, and not unlike the pope.” The differences between the Dutch and American Christmas figures and traditions provide evidence of the differences between their national character. Americans, with their fat, jolly Santa and tradition of opening presents on Christmas day are more materialistic and consumerist than the Dutch, whose skinny St. Nicholas and less gift-centered Christmas traditions are evidence of their

Finally after trying and trying and trying Sam gets the elder to try the Green eggs and ham. One of the most popular stories by Dr. Seuss is the classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas. This story became so popular that Universal Studios not only picket it up for a movie, but also a whole theme for their Christmas season theme park. In this story the Grinch loathes Christmas and the who’s with every fiber of his being. The Grinch presents himself as socially cut off from the who’s down in whoville. He lives on top of Mt. Crumpit with his dog Max. All of this hate is because his heart is two sizes too small (and this time he’ll keep it off). He finally had enough of the Who’s bangboozaling and clangclangaling so he devised a plan to steal Christmas. After Santa Clause came and delivered all the presents to the houses he would sneak in, in his Santa Clause suit and steal every present, every light, every decoration, every tree, and all of the food for the feast. He even stole the roast beast! He would empty the houses one by one and he didn’t leave anything. Not even a crumb big enough for a mouse. So as he got done with emptying the houses and was about to dump everything over Crumpit he heard a noise, a weird

Santa is a fun, iconic figure. One loves when he tells the bad guys about their naughty secrets and lies about his weight. He provides nice guidance.

Santa came out to see who, and why someone was making so much noise. Seeing Sylvester standing in the street and pointing to a spot in the sky, Santa stopped to look up. He is flabbergasted to see the reindeer are actually flying.

The reason I would go to Santa’s Workshop is because, there’s toys, candy, Mr. & Mrs. Clause, and their reindeer. Santa’s workshop is actually a real place. Don’t believe me? Boom: https://www.google.com/maps/@44.4012301,-73.8491959,105m/data=!3m1!1e3. It’s just not magical.

I spent a lot of my time alone, sitting on the floor of the stable I shared with a friendly mouse. The mouse tried to talk to me, always going, “Hey, hey Rudolph? All your reindeer buddies are outside. They’re jumpin’ in all the snow, and boy, does it look fun. You know they out there shoutin’ your name, right? Like they want you to join? How bout it, man? You could really cheer up.”

“Hey! Act like a knight! Here’s what happened: I was working on a regular tooth fairy day, taking kids’ teeth from all around the world. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, no other flying men in black suits mugged me and brought me to a dark room. While I was trying to figure out what had happened, they came in and dragged me into a van, and there was where everything started. They told me that Santa Claus had gone MIA during Christmas Eve, and my mission was to locate him and to bring him back. They gave me a new identity and made marry you because you had the money and power we needed to locate Santa to save Christmas. There weren’t any news until two weeks ago. There were reports of Santa being spotted here in Schneizereindeer while you were gone. That’s when you became worthless to us so I left. I’m sorry.”

Adversity is a state or instance of serious or continued difficulty or misfortune. Ernest Hemingway shows how adversity can affect someone in many ways through the individual's actions. In the novella, The Old Man and the Sea, Ernest Hemingway shows how a person can overcome hardship and adversity through persistence and tenacity. Hemingway utilizes a wide variety of literary devices such as alliteration, characterization, and allegory to prove the overcoming of adversity. Santiago, the protagonist of the novella, displays the obstacles he has overcome throughout the novella during his eighty-four days at sea without succeeding in catching a fish.
