Personal Narrative: My Journey By Circe

My personal memoir is going to be about when I moved here in Homedale, Idaho. When I was 6 I moved to Homedale and I was going to start 2nd Grade. When I got dropped off by my parents I went to the playground. When I was young I used to never speak to anyone because I was so shy and scared. When I got there a kid named Oscar came up to me and asked me what is your name, for a few seconds I stood there saying nothing and finally I said my name Osue. There were one of his friends that I remember, there was Antonio, but that wasn’t the first time I have seen Antonio because the house we moved into I went outside threw rocks and so did he but when I backed up and went forward etc. he copied me. I When we went I she Ms. Garrett was welcoming us

Stories come in many different shapes, sizes, and genres. Even genres that sound similar can contain quite a few differences that make them unique. This is the case with Gothic Literature and Southern Gothic Literature. Even though both styles are referred to as Gothic, they each have different elements that set them apart from one another. They also have elements that they share, however both go about expanding on these elements in diverse ways. One way to recognize the differences is comparing stories that represent the two sides. For Gothic Literature I’ve read “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allan Poe and for Southern Gothic Literature I’ve read “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner. Even though both stories are classified under the umbrella of Gothic Literature, they each have distinct differences in their style. They may share some

Child sexual abuse is a common occurrence. We recently talked about the Jerry Sandusky case, Discuss the ways in which Chaucer examines class and social status in The Canterbury Tales.

Imagine being at the peak of your high school career, personally, academically, and athletically. For me, that was my sophomore year. I was selected to be on the homecoming court, I won a free class ring, and a free corsage and boutonniere for prom. I was on my way to a 4.0 grade point average. I was pulled up to Varsity basketball, I became the 100 meter hurdle regional champion, and I qualified for two events at the Division 4 State meet for track and field. In one split second, a clip of a hurdle, that was over. My first race of the day was the preliminary 100 meter hurdles. Once the race started, I was calm, focused, and determined. I was starting to make my way up to the front of the pack when I clipped my trail leg on the eighth hurdle.

A young woman started playing a traditional wedding hymn and the side door of the Cabinet room opened and the priest, Jackson and Harry walked into the rose garden and stood by the alter. Both men were in their Marine Corps dress uniforms, complete with officer swords and Jackson’s left arm was in a sling. Both men cut quite the handsome figure standing there as United States Marines. The Medal of Honor, The highest military honor that the United States could bestow upon a member of the U.S. military, awarded for personal acts of valor above and beyond the call of duty stood out around the neck of Colonel Jackson MacKenzie. This moment was very special to him so he decided to wear it in public for the first time at his wedding. Followed closely by Jackie when she stepped out of the Palm room in the West cannonade in simple and elegant white wedding dress with Colonel Chris Patterson.

My friend ,Kendrick, is diligent and self-sufficent.He gives his best effort at everything that he does.One time Kendrick and I were at school walking to the cafeteria to have lunch. Before we opened the door to enter ,we was stopped by Mr.Douglas. Mr.Douglas was Kendrick's R.O.T.C instructor who had a high rank as sergeant major. He stopped us to talk to Kendrick about some important R.O.T.C business.

Around two or three years ago my family and I had to move houses. Moving was sudden and we didn't know it was going to happen. This made moving out and into the other house a lot harder. Since we were moving so fast somethings we just decided to leave behind with the person that was still living there. We got most things with us but one thing that we did leave back in the old place was our living room tv. Since we had just moved and my family isn't rich my mom said we couldn't go get a new one for some time. This sucked because I used the tv a lot for watching show, movies, and playing games just like the rest of my family did. Having a tv wasn't something we needed at all but it was always something to do when you were bored and there was no other things to do. Another big thing was my grandma had just gotten us a new playstation 3 and now we weren't able to used it at all because there was no television. Not having a tv was bummer for me and I thought it was a huge problem when it really wasn’t.

As stated by Elpenor in the underworld, “...O my lord, remember me, I pray, do not abandon me unwept, unburied, to tempt the gods’ wrath, while you sail for home; but fire my corpse…” (187). Even after death, Elpenor is still pleading with Odysseys to give him the proper burial procedures. This shows that the planes of existence for the underworld and the overworld are so connected that your actions in one place will follow you to the other. Due to his lack of burial procedures, Elpenor will constantly roam the halls of hades as a disturbed spirit, unable to fix his own problems because death is an eternal disease. As a result, Elpenor must rely on Odysseus and his crew, his only lifeline, to help resolve his sins for him. Additional evidence comes from when Tiresias claims that “But anguish lies ahead; the god who thunders on land prepares it, not to be shaken from your track…” (188). Odysseus is not safe from death either, as it follows his crew closely. Thusly, because of the prophecy given to him by Tiresias, Odysseus knows how to avoid this death, but lack of informing his crew will result in this issue following him back to the overworld where Poseidon wreaks havoc on his ship. What this shows Odysseys is that death is constantly looming over every man’s head, not just his own. In the end, the meaning of

Since elementary school I have exhibited a talent for writing. What started out as mere ten page stories about cats hunting mice or Greek Gods turning people into blob fish expanded into publishing a four hundred page long summer camp murder mystery as an eBook with my friend Henry in eighth grade. Over the years I have become more passionate about my writing, and over the years my grammar and writing style have grown tremendously. Looking back at the book I helped write in eighth grade I can’t help but cringe at the mistakes we missed and dull language we used. If I had written the eBook at the level I am now it would have been much longer, extremely detailed, and correct grammar wise. I realize the story could be leagues better, so I’m currently

Growing up with a father in the military, you move around a lot more than you would like to. I was born just east of St. Louis in a city called Shiloh in Illinois. When I was two years old my dad got the assignment to move to Hawaii. We spent seven great years in Hawaii, we had one of the greatest churches I have ever been to name New Hope. New Hope was a lot like Olivet's atmosphere, the people were always friendly and there always something to keep someone busy. I used to dance at church, I did hip-hop and interpretive dance, but you could never tell that from the way I look now.

The day I was born was 13 years ago now, and it was certainly an interesting one. I was supposed to born on the 15th of March, but instead I was born 12 days late on the 27th of March. My mum didn’t actually go to hospital because she was in labour; she came to the hospital because she was booked to get induced. I didn’t want to come out! Finally at 10:02p.m I came out into the world as Keilah Danae Truscott, daughter of Ian and Danae born on the 27th of March at Glengary Hospital in Perth. I was 8 pound and 13 and a half ounces, 52 centimetres.

“Your world revolves around me” is a phrase I have heard most from one of the most influential people in my life throughout high school. These are the words of the sassy, past Highlander yearbook adviser, Elizabeth Perkins. She began the first day of school each year with a speech about how everything we do for the yearbook must be her way, or no way at all. Perkins made it known that good enough is never good enough. She expected perfection. She taught me about the meaning of dedication, accountability and hard work. Coming to the end of my Junior year, she unexpected retired. We were in the process of being positioned into a new staff and I was running for Editor-in-Chief. I remember sitting in a room filled with teachers asking me if I was

When I got fired from my job over the summer I realized there wasn't a lot to do. I was bored. This led to me exploring the woods around my house.I found lots of things, old oil cans, empty budweisers, and coyote traps, but the biggest thing I found was a trailer.

In my 38 years of life, I’ve had to overcome plenty of obstacles. When examining my life, especially in my younger years, it showed me life consists of an assortment of minor and major obstacles. Facing an obstacle, especially a major one, and conquering it, awards me a triumphant feeling. Furthermore, this feeling did provide me with determination, willpower, and courage to take on any future obstacles that life can throw at me (Harrington, 2012). This makes minor obstacles to become like a cake walk.
