Recommended: Learning to drive essay

One day, my big brother came back from his college and decided that it was time for me to start to learn how to drive. I was really bored and had nothing to de at the time so I agreed. My big brother thought about it for a little bit longer and came up with the conclusion that it would be better if he taught me in Mexico to learn how to drive. He said it would be better because we can go to a deserted place where there is not a lot of traffic. But before we went to go drive, he gave me a book to start learning what all the modes do and that kind of stuff. I felt like I was studying for a test. He also told me to learn all the different speed limits for when you’re near school or when you’re on a highway. So after a little study session, we headed off to a place in mexico where I can start to learn how to drive. When we got to a slightly remote place, he told me to get in the driver’s seat. At this moment I was nervous because I had never even sat in the driver’s seat before. So I got out of the passengers seat to go to the driver’s seat. The moment that I sat down I got a little bit excited because I thought about how I can drive anywhere I wanted to go, if I learned obviously. …show more content…

I moved my seat a little bit forward and then he told me to check my mirrors, to make sure that I can see behind me and also to the sides. So I did and he started to quiz me on what he told me to study. I had studies this for about 30 min. And I felt like I could remember almost everything he told me to study. When he started to ask me question I forgot most of what I was reading before. I got most of them wrong but he said that it was fine because I still have time to remember the rules for

  • A Reader-Response Criticism of How I Learned to Drive

    1427 Words  | 3 Pages

    How I Learned to Drive is the story of Li’l Bit’s teenage life. The 17 year old Li'l Bit functions as the narrator of the story, following her life between 11 and 17 years old. The story mostly revolves around Li’l Bit and Uncle Peck, the man who molests and sexualizes Li’l Bit throughout the story. The story makes the story itself into a story as a result of the narratorial and dissociative structure. The life of Li’l Bit, and even her description of events that are close to her in the present, is structured like a play and her running commentary is filled with humor, satire, etc (like she is a comedian making a joke in poor taste). This manner of narration implies Li’l Bit has an attitude of dissociation, or a detachment from from the events that she describes to the audience. The act of molestation is itself dramatized in such a way that it takes on the appearance of fantasy, losing with its reality its moral weight, and the molester, Uncle Peck, is not only a character of great irony but also of great ambiguity. He is never condemned for his actions; rather he is sympathized with, and he is unwittingly supported by his family. To truly understand How I Learned to Drive, one must not look to the text itself for answers, as the metastory and story are both different fictions (which hampers the use of psychological, social, and formalist critical approaches) and one may not look to an underlying moral message, as the entirety of the text is pervaded by moral ambiguity. It is in the act of interpreting our response by which How I Learned to Drive may be understood. How I Learned to Drive gave me a sense of religious optimism, amusement, anger, and bewilderment.

  • Personal Narrative- Learning

    As the dull scent of chalk dust mixes imperceptably with the drone of the teacher's monotone, I doodle in my tablet to stay awake. I notice vaguely that, despite my best efforts in the shower this morning after practice, I still smell like chlorine. I sigh and wonder why the school's administration requires the students to take a class that, if it were on the Internet, would delight Mirsky (creator of Mirsky's Worst of the Web), as yet another addition to his list of worthless sites. Still, there was hope that I would learn something that would make today's first class more than just forty-five wasted minutes... It wouldn't be the first time I learned something new from the least likely place.

    As I walked out of the courthouse and down the ramp, I looked at my mom in disappointment and embarrassment. Never wanting to return to that dreadful place, I slowly drug my feet back to the car. I wanted to curl up in a little ball and I didn't want anyone else to know what I had done. Gaining my composure, I finally got into the car. I didn't even want to hear what my mom had to say. My face was beat red and I was trying to hide my face in the palms of my hands because I knew what was about to come; she was going to start asking me questions, all of the questions I had been asking myself.

  • Personal Narrative: Electric Autonomous Cars Vs. Driver Dependent Cars

    257 Words  | 1 Pages

    After spending my first time in a Tesla, an electric autonomous car, I always wondered how efficient these types of cars were compared to, driver dependent cars. When I was in the Tesla, it seemed that the car had a mind of its own, making decisions right from wrong and understanding when to stop and go without any help from the driver. I thought this was too good to be true and feared that something may go wrong, but we reached our destination just fine. However, I kept thinking of terrible possibilities that could occur when we were driving such as getting hacked or the computer inside the car making a mistake.

    It’s funny to me that we are having this discussion this week because I recently got a different car I use the term different because well it's, not a new car and it’s that my dream car or the exact car I wanted. My car was totaled in June when I was hit by a drunk driver. I never really thought too much about how my car could be different from other cars of the same model and year. What I did not know was that my car was a demo model and had a lot of added features that most in its class do not have.
