Personal Narrative On Dixie

Though I spent my entire life living in North Carolina I never thought of myself as a Southerner. My understanding of the Southern lifestyle was quite limited; there is an emphasis on family solidarity, and self-sufficiency with an agricultural backdrop that is part of their essence. The South is not simply a location, manners or customs it is a way of life. Hearing the childhood details of a favorite professor allowed me to envision a picture perfect life under the shade of a magnolia tree and little southern girl who grew up to be a Sandhills Community College professor, Mrs. Cole.

Well the week of our trip to Memphis Tennessee had finally arrived ! My colleagues Beverly,

“Everyone, please calm down.” His words could not be heard over the loud voices of the

The greasy scent of cheap burgers and fries wafted into the car as we pulled into the parking lot of a Wendy’s, right in the heart of who-knows-where, East Tennessee. I couldn’t contain my excitement as I rushed my 12-year-old self out of the minivan and into the palace of grease. Clad in ratty sweatpants and a t-shirt with my hair pressed down from my prolonged use of headphones, it was evident that I spent long hours sitting in a car, asking “if we’re there yet” too many times to count. In this moment, however, carving up Snowshoe Mountain on my snowboard didn’t seem as exciting as the machine that stood across the room. Standing tall, shiny, and red, the Coca-Cola Freestyle soda fountains were in the early stages of being released, and

Frederick Douglass wrote The Narrative Life of Frederick Douglass before the Civil War. Douglass was a former slave, an opinionated abolitionist, and a clever writer. Douglass existed as a slave from Tuckahoe, Maryland who absconded to New York and then later on to Massachusetts. When he was born He was born into slavery and was authoritatively shipped to a plantation to labor at the young age of seven. Before he started working in the fields, he, and all the other slave children, was raised by an older woman. This was very ordinary on behalf of the slave families, according to Douglass, "it 's a common custom to part children from their mothers at a very early age. Frequently, before the child has reached it 's twelfth month, it 's mother is taken from it, and hired out on some farm a considerable distance off, and the child is placed under the care of an old woman, too old for field labor" (Douglass, 2). A man by the name of Captain Anthony, which was aid to have been Douglass 's father, possessed Douglass 's mother. Due to the sequence of deaths inside his family, which later would also incorporate the Captain himself, they had a measure of property arguments. Douglass was persistently shifted to and from Baltimore to the south. After he got caught trying to escape, he was shipped back to Baltimore. The life of a slave was a very unconstitutional and unfair demeaning way to live. "I was often awakened at the dawn of the day by the most heart-rending shrieks, the louder

On May 24, 2016, I thought it was just going to be a regular day. I was very wrong. But let’s backtrack some, I was invited to be a part of Girl’s State for the state of Alabama, for my school and Tuscaloosa county. On this particular day there was a meet and greet for all the young ladies that were invited from the area. My mom had pestered and bothered me the entire week about going, but I just had no desire to go. Me not listening to my mother this day has been my biggest regret of my life so far. Hence the title of my essay, you have to win some to lose some.

“I’ve been in his company on many occasions, I once had a conversation with him on equal rights.”

My connection to the state of Alabama is that I was born in Fairhope, Alabama and lived there with my family till I was 3 years old. My family loved living in Fairhope but due to job opportunities they decided it was best to move back to their home state of Louisiana. Even though I don’t recall much of the time I spent living in Alabama, I do remember the many visits I took with my family every year to visit our extended family and friends in Alabama. Additionally, I went to Riverview Summer Camp in Mentone, Alabama for two weeks every summer as a child.

Living in the segregation era was very hard for the Logan family. Most blacks were treated unfairly and were unable to defend themselves when it came to this treatment. Cassie Logan, her friends and family had may encounters with the Aames brothers that may leave one of her good friends dead. “The Road to Memphis” was written by Mildred D. Taylor in 1990.

When I looked over the material at home I understood it better than I did in class, so I decided not show up to class and just study the material at home. The problem was that I didn’t do that either. I think I opened the textbook three times the whole semester. I didn’t do any of the homework or

I blame my horrible day on homework. If it hadn 't been for an upcoming test for history, I wouldn 't be in this pickle. I suppose it’s partly my fault. I could have skipped the procrastination and balanced my time traveling duties with studying, but responsibility has never been my forte.
