Personal Narrative- Victim of Robbery

My story started about a week ago. I was heading to bed early, because I was tired from a long day with plans to wake up a few hours before class to review for a test. As I closed my books for the evening and headed to bed around midnight, little did I know something was going on outside.

A little later that night someone entered my garage, which was so conveniently unlocked. They first rummaged through my dad’s van outside and I think they stole his coat, a tape and a few rolls of film. They also sifted through my mom’s car looking for something to steal, only to find a few motivational tapes. Surprising enough they passed those including one on "Getting Rid Of Guilt." When they got into my car however, they decided to take most of what I had. They stole my CD player, taking part of my dash with it. They also took most of my CD collection and the liner to my new Columbia coat. They even took my flashlight. They then vanished as quickly as they had come.

My mom woke me the following morning. She had decided to bring me breakfast in bed...

    The inferno takes the reader through Dante’s haunting journey in hell. On this journey Dante is guided by Virgil through nine circles that make up hell. Hell is shaped like a tunnel, and the further down it descends the worse the punishment is in each circle. Sinners are placed in the circles according to their sins.

Dante illustrates his concerns and frustrations with the morality of his fellow countrymen and Christians by creating a specific circle and punishment for each type of sinner. He also shows his own personal belief that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation. Allusions

  • Personal Narrative Shape: My Journey With Rape

    750 Words  | 2 Pages

    My journey with Rapé, pronounced ‘ha-peh’, in English, has been an interesting one. It is one heavily connected with ayahuasca. I remember being in Peru at an ayahuasca ceremony and was asked if I would like to try Rapé. I was told it is normally done at Ayahuasca ceremonies to prepare you for the work and open up the third eye chakra. Being that I am a daredevil and adventurous I will certainly try anything once. So I said yes. The Shaman blew the Rapé in one nostril without any explanation, of what to expect, to me. Let me remind you that I was in Peru where they only spoke Spanish in this ceremony. Immediately I stopped breathing. Fear entered, I began to panic. Thoughts of death aroused. The Shaman began to say breathe in Spanish, but I couldn’t. He said breathe again. I was just filled with fear and could not hear anything he was saying. Breathe, what is breathing anyway. Breath is life. Breath is the thing that helps us relax, think clearly and bring us back to a healthy state, which is why breath work is fundamental in yoga, meditation, pilates, dance and singing. Breathe. He touched me and said breathe. I was able to take a deep

  • Writing a Personal Narrative

    473 Words  | 1 Pages

    Personal narratives allow you to share your life with others and vicariously experience the things that happen around you. Your job as a writer is to put the reader in the midst of the action letting him or her live through an experience. Although a great deal of writing has a thesis, stories are different. A good story creates a dramatic effect, makes us laugh, gives us pleasurable fright, and/or gets us on the edge of our seats. A story has done its job if we can say, "Yes, that captures what living with my father feels like," or "Yes, that’s what being cut from the football team felt like."

  • Critical Component for Language Acquisition

    ...hildren learn it so easily with minimal effort. One may question as to how the brain does it. Whereas, in amidst of all the questions, our cognitive processes discerns critical thinking or a rationalization. Strong empirical evidence reinforces the critical period hypothesis. Case studies of individuals who are able to acquire a second language, deaf individuals that communicate via the medium of sign language or a variety of signals, extreme cases of childhood neglect all stems back to the understanding of language acquisition. If a child is not exposed to language at an earlier time frame, then little exposure to environment and society prevents acquisition of a language. By contrast, studies on deaf children indicates the arduousness in learning a language after early childhood which may have been brought by the individual’s struggle in developing mental skills.

  • Clean Cars

    First of all, the car should be clean and dry before there’s any sort detailing going on. The car should be washed in a clean environment to avoid any dirt particles getting it on it after its wet. Soap and water will do just fine, no need to get fancy unless otherwise preferred. Immediately after the car is done washing, a microfiber towel or any sort of drying towel is recommended to dry off the vehicle as soon as it’s done washing. If left on too long, the water will begin to dry in small bubbles and leave behind oxidation due to the dirt stuck in them. Another wash would most likely be needed if that’s the case. The wash will get all the unnecessary dirt off making it a lot easier to detail it later.

  • Personal Narrative- Lost Wallet

    703 Words  | 2 Pages

    In my wallet, I store dire personal items such as my lisence and some pictures. Among other things, I have my money, like everybody else, and certificates for stores. This summer, I went to the Keys with my family. I drove down there with my wallet and took it everywhere with me, like I would any other time. Well, when someone doesn't have pockets, then it is hard to keep their wallet right next to them at all times. I was carrying my wallet out from the hotel, along with my keys, and set both on top of the car. When I figured out that I needed the keys in order to get in the car and turn it on, I took them off the top of the roof, leaving my wallet behind. I sat in the car, car door open, waiting for my dad to make it to the car so we could all go to a diving area. Once he made it to the car, without thinking, I closed the door and started the car. I had been driving about half a mile before I realized that my wallet was no longer on my body. Immediately, I pulled the car over, and the next hour or so was spent looking for my wallet. All I could think about was what I would lose if I didn't find my wallet. The week before was my birthday, and I was given $60 to Best Buy and $50 to Auto Zone. Aside from that I had $3 in cash. While walking up and down the road that my wallet flew off on, my sister found my two Best Buy cards.
