Personal Narrative: Jane Addams

On September 26,1998 in Detroit, MI at a church with a picture of God sitting on His throne, Jesus to the right and the Holy Ghost to the left on a wall behind the pulpit. I Vivian Williams stood and was infused to my rib cage belonging to Ellis Deshawn Odum. I can truly say he was my soul mate, best friend, companion, and all that and then some, but what sums it up best for me is, when reciting his wedding vows , he told God thank you for returning his rib to him. If either of us had any doubts, God would confirm by performing miracles such as, a store manager from Home Depot named Daniel Blu calling the wrong number , and Ellis ends up at an interview for a job he never applied for. Then he not only gets the supervisor position for himself,

It is full summer and upon the horizon, I see soldiers coming, they are forever coming, it seems. Though they will soon leave us alone. For some insane reason, crazy people, scare them away. This place, has become my haven. You would think, after a hundred and forty years, I would have grown tired of this place and moved on; but when my Henry, was killed at Vicksburg, I completely lost my mind.

On 05/07/2018 at about 2255 hours, I was dispatched to 113 Frad Ave in reference to a battery that had occurred.

Finally I have escaped. I was critical about escaping at first but now I know that it was the right choice to make. I escaped with Mary Ingles, a fellow captive. We escaped while on an expedition to find salt away from the village. Mary says we are going home, but I have no home anymore. I was the only survivor of the raid. However, Mary is a kind person and says that I could live with her family. Poor Mary she has had even worse than me she has lost all her children to the Shawnee. I feel very fortunate that I survived my captivity at all. Some of our fellow captives were even burned alive by the indians. I am lucky that I gained their respect by running the gauntlet. Mary and I escaped because they let us go out into the woods to forage

In deciding to write about my friend Jane Addams, I knew that it would not be an easy task. Jane is an amazing person who is driven to help all manner of people even though her own life was filled with struggles. Jane brought hope, caring, and love to many people in two centuries, the 19th and the 20th. She lived her life for others by taking her struggles and turning them into ways to alleviate the same for others less fortunate. Jane's learning took her across an ocean and led her to people who would help her on her journey. One of these people was Ellen Gates Starr. Together Jane and Ellen worked for many years as a team to help others.

Give specific examples of the methods this person used to make changes - articles or books written, political actions taken, innovations made, etc.

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.

Have you ever seen or thought of an ongoing problem and wanted to do something about it. Well Jane Addams did that, she took action in a problem at a very young age. She saw all the poor and the less fortunate and helped them. Through the hardships, life in the fast lane, and medical issues, she helped many people start their lives all over. So, how did Jane Addams go from a life of privilege to a life of servitude?

I don’t recall if you remember but we met about a year ago. My daughter’s name is Julia Talamo and she is going into 11th grade. She has been here since freshman year and is very happy with the atmosphere of the school. As you already know she has been on the swim team placing at finals states since freshman year and swimming is a big part of her life. However, over the past 8 months we realized that Julia was struggling. The stress of such a wonderful but rigorous academic life was taking slowly taking over her positive and lively attitude. We noticed that she was very anxious all the time. We tried to help her but as a determined girl she is she put on a smile and pulled through with all of her responsibilities. However, during

I feel like I do not really know Jane’s life story very well, and this is the perfect opportunity to learn more about her. I know her as a mentor, but we have never really had a deep discussion like this before. I have also included some questions about the historical events that Jane has lived through. I hope to learn more about these events from her perspective. It’s not everyday that you actually get to sit down and talk to someone who lived through events like WWII and the Great Depression! I anticipate learning some valuable life lessons from her, particularly on the value of learning in older adulthood. Even at the ripe old age of 97, Jane loves learning, and she values doing so in everyday

The principal took out the whipped cream and unwrapped the the clear packaging with his sharp car keys; he then attempted to throw it into the blue trash can to his right, but the wind blew the packaging onto the black pavement. He stood with his hand on his chin and contemplated whether to pick it up or throw it away. As he took on step towards the packaging, a middle schooler tapped on the principles back and handed him the microphone. Mr. Addams took out several note cards while the students began to silence. As the Mr. Addams rambled about nonsense, the students started to become restless. They began to talk to their friends walked towards the tables set at the carnival. There was a large poster that read:

6 O’clock was around the corner, and so was me about to hyperventilate my life out. I stood there, right where we agreed to meet, hounding my wrist watch, memorizing the movements to distract the tornado in my stomach. “Just be yourself, you’re sarcastic, entertaining and whimsical.” my mom told me. I remembered the famous Marilyn Monroe quote when mom mom’s words resurfaced on my mind. “If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything.” Sounds simple enough, I had no idea women could be so simple and easy, being myself made this seem all too easy. I began playing the scenario of tonight in my hand, with that Marilyn Monroe quote in on my mind. As well as I remember hearing guys from school talk about their times with ladies, all

Ms. Herbert, my art teacher, is a very special person who I really admire. I remember the day when she substituted my art teacher because she was sick. She taught the way no other teacher had taught me before, she accepted any idea from any student and let us decide whether or not we wanted to do any assignment she gave us. We could create what we desired because we all had different specialities in art and she wanted to uncover them, so we could focus on them. Now that I´m part of the art elective I´ve gotten to know her more than just my art teacher, but as a friend, I could ask for suggestions with anything. She´s taught me how a problem should always have a solution, no matter how hard it may be to find. Ms. Herbert loves what she

Jane is 74, but is turning 75 in November, has a husband, 4 sons who are all married, and 8 grandchildren. She is part of the silent generation and the post-war cohort. Jane also grew up in a small town, she was born in Cleveland Ohio and went to a catholic high school. After which, she attended an all-women’s college. After graduation, she quickly got married and started a family. Once she had her second son, Jane started night classes to get her law degree and eventually wanted to start her own practice. She did ultimately start that practice and even became a professor at a local university before retiring. These are the closing chapters of Jane’s “young” life, but to really understand her we have to delve more deeply into the beginning.
