Personal Narrative: Liberia

The different living in a small vilge and in big city almost the same only different is. in the village consists of the unity of geography , social, economic, political and cultural contained in that place (an area). in rural areas is still difficult to develop instead of lazy people in the village, but they are still firmly hold their ancestors' teachings, sometimes a new thing contrary to what their fathers taught because it is a culture in the village still strong. while in the town is still a lot less people care about others, and virtue was already no longer used to big city life squad, it is also in big cities tend to be influenced by foreign cultures so contrary to our own culture. but according to people who live in big cities. It is

Each house-- painted a very vibrant, dazzling color, purple, orange, yellow, green, and pink. I had never seen houses like that in the United States the usual house colors are gray, white, tan, blue, very dull colors. The sight of these vivid houses was just a small glimpse of this beautiful country. As I nervously traveled without my family for the first time the lush terrain of Costa Rica dotted with colorful houses welcomed me.

When my high school years rolled around, I made a few Liberian friends. By my sophomore year, I was not ashamed to be seen with them. Slowly, I started saying I’m Liberian when people asked me my ethnicity. No more of, “My dad is black, and my mom is Liberian.” I started telling people that my favorite food was rice with stew and pepper chicken. To a young mind, it was quite liberating, but it was not full-fledged by any means. I still hung on to my Black associations. I would still hang around my Black friends, most of the time. Even though I was making progress with accepting my heritage, I was still attached to the Black community. I mean, I grew up in North Minneapolis; the Black epicenter in Minnesota. Growing up in the rougher neighborhood

Describe a place or environment where you are perfectly content. What do you do or experience there, and why is it meaningful to you?

Established on the banks of western Africa is a small country known as Liberia. Liberia is an astonishing country, with its history and culture. The first thing you might notice about Liberia is its African heritage. Liberia was not only founded but also colonized but freed African slaves. It is also known fact that the people are very friendly in Liberia. The culture of Liberia is amazing; some people still carve out African figurines. This country has fought a long way for its freedom. That’s why it is a wonderful land of liberty! This nation needs to be recognized and you will agree that Liberia needs to be visited at least once.

If I was a European thinking about moving to the New World, I would base my decision based off the images and descriptions that were available. One of the images that would deter me from migrating away was a piece of artwork done by Jacques Le Moyne. His picture entails a group of natives who are trying to fight off a fearsome looking alligator. Theodore De Bry describes them plunging a pole into it’s mouth and turning it around so they can stab their stomach. He goes on to say that the natives have to watch out for them day and night because of how frequent they appear. Since I don’t really know how to defend myself against such creatures, I would be afraid to live somewhere where danger is constant. I also would not want to deal with vampire

Beautiful sunsets, salty air, sandy toes, and sun kissed skin is what you figure when hearing of exotic trips around the world. However, that was definitely not my case. June 22nd, 2015, I embarked for Lira, Uganda. Malodorous trash, red dirt, parasite infected waters, and giant mosquitos was the actuality I had. Unfortunately, this was the daily life of millions in Uganda.

I am originally from Liberia which is located in West Africa. I grew up in a town called Yekepa in Nimba County. Growing up there was amazing because it wasn’t a very big town. People were kind and very friendly.

The aristocrats lived in large houses with roofs, gardens, and courtyards. They were very rich. To keep out bandits, they put walls around their houses. Inside the houses they had fine furniture and silk. The father would divide their land to his sons when they were older. As he divided it, the land became smaller and smaller.

The place where my personal legend had started, the abandoned church. It was in the church where I dreamed of the treasure being by the pyramids in Egypt. It had caused me to follow my personal legend, learn new things, meet fatimah, the Alchemist and everything else on my quest. The Abandoned Church taught me the importance of home and the recognized. Little did I know that the whole point of my journey was for me to learn and grow, allowing me to understand that the secrets of being happy and accomplishing my personal legend are not always far from us, instead it is at home, where we all started. I did not have to travel for many years to find my treasure, but if I dreamed of the treasure to be at the church and not have to travel, both the

LEAD SENTENCE. Liberia is located in Western Africa, bordering the North Atlantic Ocean and is between Côte d’Ivoire and Sierra Leone. It is a country of foreign companies owning most of its land and wealth. It was first settled in by Americo-Liberians in 1817. This was the first cause of conflict in Liberia. The country was, and still is, in political and tribal conflict. Charles Taylor, the man who declared a revolution against the Liberian government, starting the country’s civil war, and, consequently, was convicted of countless war crimes and crimes against humanity, is one of the root causes of the country’s condition today. THIRD CLAIM.

My special place is not a physical location, but more of a mindset. It is when I sit down, and begin listening to military cadence on Spotify or YouTube. This brings me zen because when I think of the military I think of brotherhood. This aspect was heavily involved in my life as my high school always said my fellow students were my brothers. St. John Bosco engraved the idea of brotherhood into my mind as everyone would try to lend a hand to one another. The feeling of being able to count on someone else when you need help is what

That place would be a cemetery called St. Mary Catholic Cemetery. To many, this may be a weird place to choose, but to me it is a safe place to vent and think. You see, St. Mary is the resting place of my mother, Kimberly Bitsie. Those reasons, are why it is the most important place in my world.

Lines are rightly said by great English writer-“Charles dickens”. villages are generally very beautiful with green hills, clean air and peace. In villages people care and help each other. Cities are normally very crowded places as compared to Villages. In the city, one might not have the privacy that one wish for. One would not be able to go outside without bumping into people. One have 10 people living in a small one room

The social profile reveals a mixture of upper middle come and middle income population. The village has lot of community spaces. It is design by spontaneously. And the housing units have small verandah area prevent segregation of people from the common area. The territories of the individual units demarcated by means of a hedge, fence which aren’t completely separate from the surrounding area.
