Wendy's Narrative Analysis

Perhaps the short story that I can relate the most comes from Updike’s “A&P”, mostly because I have recently experienced the work in the service industry the same way the narrator “Sammy” did. The way he carries out the occurrences going on at the grocery store is the same way I carried them while working as a waiter at my uncle’s restaurant. Besides the similarities we have

I failed AP English. I had missed the second quarter of the school year, almost completely, due to… technical difficulties. I got discharged from the hospital mid-February, and for the remainder of junior year, the majority of my waking thoughts revolved around passing 11th grade. With motivational speeches coming at me from my parents, friends, and teachers, I began to believe I had a chance of passing the year. I did my best, which apparently was not enough. My teacher had picked up on my tremendous amount of effort, and on the last day of school, bumped my grade up to a low D — just enough to pass. I was not exactly about to put my grade on display or anything, but I passed! Technically. This is not one of the underdog-who-succeeded stories. The real success for me was (look away, it’s cliché) realizing my best was enough. I sound disgusting.

Assuming the office of chief Superintendent of Education in Upper Canada, Egerton immediately swung into action as he continued to make countless creative, as well as, extensive changes targeted to remodelling the Upper Canada school system whose general control of the school was within his jurisdiction- the Chief Superintendent. Egerton had the prerogative to “set standards for the curriculum; supervised the training, inspection and examination of teachers; and oversaw the selection and distribution of textbooks, through a central depository and press plant which encouraged the publication of works by home-grown authors. Libraries were organized in every school”. (Claude W.D, 2002, para 7)

I was checking the Miami Heat schedule for next week and they will be playing at home against the Chicago Bulls. That means the return of Dwyane Wade to Miami. I will have to go live to the AA Arena that day.

I thought they were happy to see me, but when I opened the door to our shack, I saw that everything we owned was neatly packed in cardboard boxes. I was shocked! We were moving? Since when? I walked further into our shack and saw Roberto and Papa carrying boxes to the Carcanchita. I then saw Mama holding her pot walking over to the Carcanchita very carefully trying her best to not step on one of my younger sibling’s toys.

Throughout the journey of this class a lot of pieces we have read stuck out me but only in bits and pieces the story that held the most ground and really stuck with me as a whole had to be the "Off the Road story" by Daniel Duayne. Simply because the author uses the truck as a metaphor for troubled times and have to make big decisions in your life that may be very hard for you to do or letting go of someone or something that you were not ready to let go of.

Wichita is the largest city in the state of Kansas, with a population of 382,368 as of 2014, and it is part of the the Wichita-Winfield metropolitan area that has a population of 680,398. Wichita is located on the Arkansas River, in the south-central area of the state. The city got its start as a trading post along the Chisholm Trail in the 1860s, and it was incorporated in 1870. Wichita’s nickname, Cowtown, came about as it became a key stop for cattle drives heading north from Texas to reach railroads further north.

    To begin, the reading selection was a great piece for me to help recall all the past knowledge I have on writing. Throughout the years I have taken multiple English and writing courses that have exemplified most of what corresponded with the book. However,

This writer used a descriptive writing pattern. I believe the writer used this pattern very well. The words he chose and the way he put them together made it easy for me to understand as well as visualize what he was saying.

Toilet paper, Check. Milk, Check. Once again I’ve caught myself ticking off a shopping list, it seems like only yesterday I did the same thing. I was caught in the weekly drag, doomed to repeat the same day over and over again, my own figurative Ground Hog Day.

I think that he uses a Pathos throughout the whole article by expressing what his thoughts are, to make you agree with his statements, I personally liked the

Willow Davenport and her family have always loved the wild west. They love it so much, they sing and dance in their own Western themed show. Always on the hunt to expand their holdings, they are elated when the ranch next door goes on sale. They jump on the chance to buy it.

Before I longboarded, I thought that I would never learn hot to ride one or that I as going to get hurt. Well one of those things came true and I’ll tell you that it wasn’t the first one. It was a sunny Milwaukee afternoon and me and my friend Nick were very hungry. He wanted to go to Wendy's but no one there to drive us and it was at least a mile away. He suggested that he rides his longboard, and I ride my bike, but my bike was buried in the back of my garage. But then he said that I should ride my dad's longboard to Wendy’s. I was nervous but I said I would only ride it if my dad said yes thinking that he would say no. So I called him and asked him and he said yes so I grabbed the board and went outside. When I tried to ride it, I was slow

One word to describe Griffith is.. Eccentric. She is quite abnormal compared to her kin. Griffith is a proud Lythari, an elf that has the ability to take the form of a wolf, one of very few who exist. As a beast she stands at 4', has a length of 5'7”, and weighs in at 160 lbs. The base color of her coat is the same stark white as her hair with silver marbled in. A few identifying physical traits are that she is missing 25% of the top of her left ear, while the right has been accented with an assortment of 22 stone, wood, and bone hoops along the outer lobe/cartilage. While in her elven form she stands at 6'4” and weighs in at 220 lbs. Additionally, she has seen 22 namedays, which makes her one of the younger of her kind. Due to the strength

Hi Christopher, I think this will make a very interesting topic for our first narrative essay. Having worked in the food service industry myself I can relate to this topic and understand how scary it can be to be thrown in to that type of situation. Especially having trained on the area so long ago, putting you in this position by yourself seems like a sort of trial by fire method. I think it will also provide a good frame for the story explaining your background in the establishment and the unprecedented placement of you in this particular area. The dialogue that you provided paints a very clear picture of the fast paced and high stress environment that you had to overcome. If I’m correct in assuming that this particular story will be framed
