Personal Narrative: Hills Like White Elephants

Her use of imagery paints a picture for the readers which ultimately helps to make learning the writing process easier. For example, when she says “the critics would be sitting on my shoulders, commenting like cartoon characters”, this creates a humorous and memorable image of shoulder sized critics (Lamott 469). This step in the process is unusual from what other authors say, yet it’s interesting which engages the reader. Lamott also uses similes and metaphors throughout the essay to explain what it is like for most struggling writers. She states “we all often feel like we are pulling teeth” when it comes to constructing and composing a piece of work (Lamott 468).

Because of appropriate explanations of her teaching experience and references, I found the article to be thought-provoking. For example, she used this characters Tracy Flick, Paris Geller, and Darrin floen as references to show different genres of student’s behavior. Although Schuman seemed to be pretty instructive and caring throughout the article, she was very strict and demanding about students '

The book kept me guessing until the very end of the story. The main characters are easy to relate to, and are very likeable. Lauren Oliver’s style in the book is casual, yet it keeps the reader greatly intrigued. Oliver is able to paint a very vivid picture of each event in the story, that makes the reader feel as if they are right there, participating in the challenges.

The detailed descriptions are extremely beneficial to the storyline because it helps move the plot along while also further enticing the reader in the process. Also, I quickly noticed that unlike any of our other readings, the main female characters are permitted to have vices. The women are allowed to be promiscous and to drink alcohol. We see this immediately through the unrefined and "un-ladylike” behavior of Carmen and Vivian.

Throughout the whole interview I just was not confident. The vice principal told me to get my grades up in math and I would be accepted. Of course I said yes, but that never happened. I continued to behave the same way throughout the rest of the school year, following my

She even states, “I could do some things well. Some things I was god at, like math or painting or even sports, but the second a boy put his arm around me, I forgot wanting to do anything else, which felt like a relief at first until it became like sinking into muck. ”(Minot, 295) This is such a powerful, and eye opening statement due to the fact that she loves the feeling of being in the moment, and knowing that it was a relief that she was appreciated for something that she could be “good” at. On the contrary, she then takes the audience aback when she compares her passion of sex, to sinking into muck.

The experience of our mock Tunnel of Oppression was definitely a fun one. Seeing everyone’s different presentations showed the group’s creative side and also gave some insight on what everyone took away from the class. The latter only continued to show during our conversation after our viewing experience was over. I loved everyone’s input on what the Capstone taught them about service learning. I especially remember what Christian said about how the experience brought certain issues that aren’t given much attention to light.

But I did and get used to it in my junior year of school in Guilderland. My junior year goes pretty good, due to support of my family, teacher and my will power. I give my best because I want good result and also my family has tons of expectations from me. Even though, I have other cousins who are my age, my whole family

Why I would give them both rehab is because they both need to learn not to do drugs and to take care of each other. Marquese’s mother was never there for him she would teach his son how to steal. Also her mother was always doing drugs. Therefore Marquese never got the love and attention from his mother. That is why when he want to go back to jail he felt that in prison people would give him this attention.

Going into this class, I thought it was just going to another English, but now thinking back I did learn something new. I would like to believe that I was pretty attentive. I did not miss any task, but I did turn in seven task in late; task number two, six, seven, nine, ten, eleven, and fourteen. I did open all of the readings and I would either skim it or I would read it; several times even. My favorite reading was by Bill Ivey and Steven J. Tepper the “Cultural Renaissance or Cultural Divide?”.

Apparel exceeded my expectations. I have been to several Broadway Lights shows in Charlotte over the years, and this production is one of the better ones I’ve seen, if not the best. The stage was designed very well for the show, the story was excellently written, and the play resonated well with a contemporary audience. My immediate response to the layout of the theater was that I didn’t like it because I am not a huge fan of theater performances in the round.
