Personal Narrative: How World War I Changed My Life

The middle and ending is where it talks about Mr. Helm and how he misses the Clutters, and how it has been though on him. In conclusion, it was a devastating moment for everyone except the killers. The syntax of the story is that it was harsh. “The weeks between had been hard on Mr. Helm.” The author uses this type of grammar because of the incident that happened with the Clutters.” “We may never have another chance.” “Chance?” He uses this punctuation because Perry didn’t explain himself specifically.

Paul was kindhearted, he believed strongly in comradeship and grew strong bonds with his friends in his troop. He was an emotional person but was able to almost ‘turn off’ his emotions while fighting. When he went home on leave, he broke down in tears because he was overwhelmed with the safety of his childhood home. He cared strongly about his mother and always thinks of how much she sacrificed so that he could live a good life. He didn’t really know much about love because once again, the war halted him from experiencing much of it.

Elizabeth is biography worthy because she has to go through alot, he family survived a war, she was able to write all her feelings down in her journal and be able to share all her accomplishments with everyone. She was able to write many books all because she was encouraged as a child

PTSD causes many different feelings, whether they are single or with a family. Many times within the novel Chris Kyle felt bad for his family and had no idea what to attempt to conclude these horrors in his mind. Most with PTSD will never forget these hardships they have had to undergo. There won’t be any way to forget it, it’s how they deal with their issues and prioritize what they want to achieve in life. Chris Kyle was haunted by these tragedies from his tours in the war to the day he

Anne was a terrific writer, her story was told with so much detail that you felt like you were in the “Secret Annex” with her. She included important things such as her emotions, as well as the emotions of those around her. Anne’s story was told best by her and no one else because she was, in fact, a young girl hiding from Hitler’s army. Not many people can say they did this in their lifetime. Anne was so full of hope, and her hope is what I believe kept her alive for the two years in hiding, up until her family was captured.

I went to the author John Green’s book tour a few weeks ago, and his new book has a definite message. However, he spoke about how nervous and apprehensive he is about releasing his work. Not so much because he fears the quality of it, but because once the book is out there- it’s not his anymore. It’s the world’s to make of it what they will. I think that ultimately connects with Chuang Tzu’s statement that there are no answers because there is not just one person existing; there’s an incomputable number of humans with their own dialogue, creating their own

America is a blessing. Although I knew very little English and I had a difficult time fitting in, I experience many struggles because I knew that Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. I was not someone who could learn something easily but my determination and hard work to make a better future for myself kept me going. My father was really sick, for his better health, we first moved here and the time I spent taking caring of him. Ever since I realized that I could help people and enjoy it immensely.

Almost my entire life changed after my move, I had a new routine, some new friends, and a new way I had to learn. It took me a while to accept that what I did every day was my life. I didn’t like it, I missed my family in Texas, and I missed my old friends. I had to grow up a little every day. At the end of it all I had dealt with a broken rib, taking care of siblings, and a new school.

It is through this knowledge that I have learned to overcome discrimination and the uncertainty of living in the shadows. I experience rejection and discrimination throughout the formative years when my character was being built, but that allowed me to become the person I am today. No more than a year ago, I thought all my hard work was in vain. My visa was about to expire and immigration denied me a renewal of my student visa due to my family’s low income level. Without any legal documentation stating I could be in this country, I was afraid I would not be able to continue my education or obtain a job in my desired field.

“What you seek is seeking you” (Rumi). I feel as if I didn’t choose to become an optometrist so much as the inspiration was seeking me. Two years ago I panicked every time someone asked me what I was doing after graduation. I hated the time commitment that came with medical school. I knew my nieces and nephews would be graduated from high school by the time I got done, and that my grandmother almost surely wouldn 't be with us.
