Personal Narrative: Las Vegas

Little did i know, on Tuesday August 29, 2017 I would be proven wrong. I was in my room when the house had shook more than it ever has before, so it made me wonder if it was more than just thunder. My parents yelled “NEVAEH, ALEX COME OUTSIDE NOW!!” Once I got outside I saw two long brown branches, one in my window and another through the roof of my porch. While crying my mother said, “This thing is ginormous.” I could see her trying to contain her tears. Once my father and other family members got on the roof they removed the branches and covered the holes. After accessing the damages, we all decided it was safe to stay

Leaving Las Vegas, directed by Mike Figgis and based on the autobiographical novel by John O'Brien, is an emotional story about an alcoholic who rejects life and wants to drink himself to death in Las Vegas, and an unselfish prostitute who loves him the way he is. Ben, played by Nicholas Cage, was a former movie producer in Los Angeles and has obviously crumbled in the glamour world of Hollywood which is shown in the opening scene. Here Ben is already an alcoholic when he disturbs former colleagues that are embarrassed of his appearance at the restaurant. Ben is unstable and a mess when one of the men give him money and tell him not to contact him again. Ben then gets fired and ultimately decides to drink himself to death in Las Vegas, a

My story began on September 12, 2000, in Phoenix, Arizona. I was born to my mother, a faithful member of the gospel, and my father, an alcoholic. These two traits did not function well together and they ended up getting a divorce in 2001. This would start a new chapter that took my mother, three sisters and I to Elko, Nevada. Nearby was the reservation of my Native American (NA) tribe, the Western Shoshone. My NA heritage came from my father, so when he left my life, he took the culture with him. My grandmother did all she could to include me in the tribe by making me traditional NA items such as moccasins and shawls.

What did the early American pioneers see when traveling the uninhabited wilderness of the early 1800’s? Could they have be seeing a black bear standing momentarily on its hind legs or was it actually what we now call Bigfoot today (“The Canadian Encyclopedia”). The origin of Bigfoot dates even further back to Native American myths portraying a large aggressive ape like animal walking on its hind legs eating children and animals (“New World Encyclopedia”). Since then there have been thousands of reports of supposed Bigfoot sightings including footprints, photos, videos and the actual carcass of a deceased Bigfoot. For over 80 years scientist have been discrediting the thought of the existence of Bigfoot, but throughout time scientist have

Waking up at midnight on a cloudy monday night, I walked outside and looked at the moon. Look at how far I have come. Living in hillbilly hick Iowa, to traveling all over the world. Listening to my mother has been one of the greatest things I have ever done. Without her I would have stayed in Iowa and probably married a ugly overweight farmer. Graduating from highschool I decided that I was going to go straight to college and get my masters in Biological Anthropology. Since I already had 20 credits completed at Iowa Central, I decided to stay for one more year. The money I would save would go into my traveling “fund”. Planning on living with my mother still, to me was not a bad decision. She fed me, clothed me, and loved me even though I can

I enjoyed reading your post. I’ve never been to Reno, Nevada, but, have been to Las Vegas and like Reno there were obviously slot machines everywhere including the airport. I have to say, although I’m not from a small town the culture there was certainly different so I can definitely relate. The town I currently live in is quite rural in comparison to my home town and is a mix of northern transplants as well as those that only stay during the winter months. However, although not as small in population compared to yours, when I first moved here I felt completely lost. Oddly enough, unlike most small towns it wasn’t as friendly as I imagined, in fact my home town was friendlier even though it’s considered a city. Since I’ve moved here the population

Although some people believe that supernatural creatures aren’t real, I know they are. When I was ten years, I experienced something horrifying. Let me tell you the dreadful experience I witnessed.

I walked out of the New York Casino’s front doors to the smell of car oil from new corvettes and cigarette smoke. I hate those people that go off buying expensive cars without any thought about other people. Why is it fair that they have all this money to go around wasting? Whatever the reason hope he has a fun time compensating. I just got two hundred from that gig, but it still doesn't cover my house rent or house payment.

Dalton and I were planning our fall break. We decided that we wanted to go somewhere fun for vacation. We talked to our families and we all went to Las Vegas. I’ve been there before with my brother and we were in a weightlifting competition. This time it was just for fun.

So I had so much fun on my vacation when i went to Arizona over the summer for ten days. We went to the Grand Canon and it is way bigger than I thought!! We took all kinds of pictures on my aunts tablet and we took them are our phones. But the bad thing is that my phone died right when we got to the Grand Canon. I got so mad so then my aunt took pictures on the tablet and she let me take pictures on her phone.

I skipped outside and went to the upper right hand corner of my parents brand new blacktop driveway and you guessed it, I begin digging. The blacktop, having been recently poured was very easy to dig into. I dug and dug and dug, not knowing what I was digging for. I dug until, I heard a familiar loud, and concerned voice

We have been travelling for hours looking, searching, suffering for food. The five of us have been through hell and back losing over half our pack two or three days ago. As soon as we were about to bunker down and get some rest, catch the sight of a buck running through the woods, without even thinking about we all get up and chase the deer, but without eating for days has taking a toll on our ability to run. Our alfa leads us to something he had seen out in an open space while we were chasing the buck. We came upon a pasture with a little house, we creeped up to and seen something inside so we tried scratching at the door, then we could smell sickness from inside, than we heard a human crying from the inside. We went back into cover to plan

The windows on the rusty station wagon began to shake, turning the music up to hide the laughter from the back seat. It came from Liam and Maggie, the love birds. Khloe and I sat in the front, I drove while she uses the worn out GPS. We made a good team. This was a beginning of a long road trip filled with amusing jokes and lots of laughs. We are headed to Arizona for the weekend to stay at my grandma's house. She only lives there in the winter to get away from the frost and snowy weather up in Minnesota. Liam, Maggie, Khloe and I just graduated from high school this spring and decided to go on a road trip together. We have all been really good friends all four years of school. We only have two more hours until we arrive in Phoenix, Arizona. If one more person complains about being hungry or asks “If we are there yet” I’m going to lose it.

My beautiful, I did some mixing and matching using your idea from Las Vegas and I came up with something that I think will work very nicely (thanks to my baby bear). If I rent a car and drive from Pocatello to Las Vegas it will cost me over 300 dls. for rental and gas and it is such a long trip. So, I found another flight on the arrival and departure dates leaving from SLC and arriving in Las Vegas for only $150. All together it would be around 400 dls. for the different flights. I'm sending you a copy of both Itenareries- 2 pages (SLC to Las Vegas, Las Vegas to Panama) and there would be a littl delay at the airport, but theh price of 400 is outstanding. So, check out the attachment and let me know what you think. I love you sooooooo much

How did this happen I made sure it wouldn’t, couldn’t, can’t happen. This is great just fantastic. Now I’ve got to go back into hiding. Man my boss is going to kill me. Well I guess I have a choice, either a firing squad or a knife to the back. Really hope marice doesn’t find out.
