Personal Narrative: Slaying The Double Headed Dragon

“Slaying the Dragon” by Deborah Gee is a comprehensive look at media stereotypes of Asian and Asian American women since the silent era. From the racist use of white actors to portray Asians in early Hollywood films, through the success of Anna May Wong’s sinister dragon lady, to Suzie Wong and the ‘50s geisha girls, to the Asian-American anchorwoman of today. The movie also shows how stereotypes of exoticism and docility have affected the perception of Asian-American women.

What if you were destined to save your town, would you be heroic enough? What is a hero? Campbell’s Heroic Journey, The Hobbit, and story/ film explains. My idea of a hero is being a person who sacrifices themselves for others, and doesn't think people are less worthy than themselves. The Heroic Journey describes that anyone can be a hero, examples of that would be The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, which is a story about a group of men go on a death defying journey to save the town. The other story is How to Train Your Dragon is similar with other supernatural events. Such as dragons and bugs. Despite having similar heroes, The Hobbit had a stronger Heroic Journey because there were more obstacles.

Change is inevitable. Whether it be positive or negative, change is constantly happening. More than often change can take you from the known world and spit you into the unknown, where you return a changed person. While embarking on the journeys provoked by change, you are on a hero’s journeys. The hero’s journey was popularized by Joseph Campbell. When describing what prompts hero’s journeys, Joseph Campbell said,

Graduation had ended, and the senior class had officially become high school graduates.  Time was given to take pictures afterwards, and then The Last Knight would begin. The place that everyone one would meet was the Knight Statue in front of the wellness building.  At the Knight Statue moms of some of the seniors handed out t-shirts dedicated to the night. The material of the t-shirt felt itchy against my skin, as it had not been washed. After the group photo with the statue; we went to Main Event on a party bus.  Their at Main Event we entertained ourselves with arcade games, bowling, laser tag, and a ropes course. At midnight Main Event closed and we went back to the bus were we traveled to Tyler Jackson’s house. At Tyler’s house

Once upon of time there were these two boys that ran cross country their names were Amar and Will they both ran for Tupelo High cross country team,and they were the top 7th grade runners on the team. Will was a bit faster runner than Amar although Amar would run and train hard he just could not yet run as fast as Will but that would one day be his goal but for now that would have to wait. Competition season was fast approaching, our first real meet was the last Saturday of the month of August. The day of the race Amar was full of nerves because this was his first real race,yes he had trained but he had never ran against other schools. Amar thought to himself this is no Will, there are so many kids from other schools to try and

Although nearly every culture has the concept of dragons represented in its mythology or art, the idea of what a dragon looks like, how it behaves, or the purpose it serves varies drastically. Does the dragon fly—if so does it have wings or does it fly through other means? Does it breathe fire? Ice? Does it bring good luck, energy, or protection? Or does a dragon instill fear and bring harm and destruction? What is their intelligence level? The characteristics of a dragon can be determined based on whether or not we look at western dragons or eastern dragons. However, what’s even more interesting than the different variations of dragons that have been around for centuries, is the etymology of the term and how it has changed over time in meaning

Everything will be okay. A set of four simple words that have been engrained into the very fiber of my being on any occasion that an unfortunate event occurs. Unfortunately, those “unfortunate events” were more so a daily routine. The Tyrant, better known to some as my father was a kind enough man, yet his very presence at home caused an almost suffocating layer of tension in the air. He was a teacher, a beloved one at that, yet to my sisters and I he was more of an undiscovered land mine. Everything seemed okay from above, but below, it could blow up at any given moment, at any given moment he would be set off; he would yell, and more than likely, lash out at me. This behavior was a root cause of my

Legends tell of gigantic lizard like creatures flying through the sky and being slew by humans. Beowulf, and Saint George killed dragons in their lives. Dragons lived in places that only crazy people would ever trek. Dragons are very interesting creatures because they are in legends,heros slew them in epic battles, and may have hidden themselves in places no mortal man can travel.

It felt to Gilhain that he now lived on the Cardurleth. He dared not leave it, for the attacks of the enemy did not let up. And he trusted to no other to organize the defense. Not that others were incompetent; there were many who could do the task, but the responsibility was his alone.

“Why do they have to make everything so complicated!” Hannah Page exclaimed from the perch on her bed. The tight knit group of girls that I have been drawn into were sprawled across a bedroom, all of us complaining in agreement about the amount of effort it took to plan a simple day trip when the male half of our dysfunctional pseudo-family was involved. Phones were buzzing as we tried to organize last minute plans, with the boys continually introducing complications that hindered us from our goal. The girls and I continued filling the air with plans for a day in Nashville, as the boys either interrogated us for details, or in Zach’s case, stopped replying all together.

“Won-Won is such a babe. I mean, did you see him eating breakfast this morning? Who knew cereal could look that good?”

When In my Mind’s eye his face has been etched since the day I first saw her.

I was only an infant when my family died. Or, at least, that's what my father told me.
