Personal Narrative Essay: Dog Town

245 Words1 Page

“Gavin, time to go,” Mom called out to me from downstairs.

“Okay, I just have to finish packing.” I was finally ten years old and could now volunteer at the Best Friends Animal Camp. I was spending the next three days high up in the mountain camp caring for dogs that needed extra love and attention. It was here that dogs were allowed to roam freely, safe and protected from the hard life they had experienced. They still, however, needed a home.

“Make sure you pack both work clothes and boots,” Mom reminded me.

“I have them,” I replied running downstairs. “I’m so excited,” I said as I tossed my gear in the car. “The camp letter states the dogs reside in “Dog Town.” “I will go there first.”

When we arrived I sprinted straight down the path

  • The Lady With The Pet Dog Comparison Essay

    652 Words  | 3 Pages

    Every piece of literature can be compared to others to determine which is better. But what if the two pieces being compared are the same story? Anton Chekhov, in the late 1800s, wrote the short story “The Lady with the Pet Dog” about a man who views women as an “inferior race” and constantly cheats on his wife until he finds a young lady he truly falls in love with. Joyce Carol Oates’ story, written almost 100 years later, also named “The Lady with the Pet Dog” is about a woman who cheats on her husband with a lover she truly falls in love with. Even with these two stories being very similar as much as having the same title, one can be determined as the better piece.

    Risks can be something huge to overtake that leave you paralyzed with fear. But often smaller risks are overlooked even though they have the potential to change your life. The best risk I have ever taken in my life is a seemingly small one in the grand scheme of things, but I know at the time it seemed a monumental task, but if I had never gotten the courage to take that risk my life would probably be drastically different today. That sounds somewhat dramatic, but I suppose it all goes back to drama, specifically theatre, that is. The first show I ever saw was Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella when I was a high school freshman.
