Personal Narrative: Linden And My Community

419 Words2 Pages

I live in Linden and my community is small, but we are close to one another. We are a respectful town and show love to everyone. In 2012, our community was struck hard by Hurricane Sandy. Water flooded every house on my block up to the second floor, but mine. I thank God for allowing the water not to damage our house, but to think of the effect it had on all my neighbors is horrible and heartbreaking. All the houses damaged will be demolished and turned into a grass field. I 'm sad that I 'm losing my neighbors, which also takes a part of me away. Even though my house wasn’t destroyed, my family and I still helped those effected. We also offered necessary items that 'll help them get through the storm and after it. We always checked in on

My mother and father looked as if they were about to cry in sadness and anger at the same time.

    Upstage is back, downstage is front, right is left, left is right, out is up, break a leg but don't really, wings have nothing to do with birds, the catwalk doesn’t involve cats, and when the stage manager says move it means move. The theatre vocabulary is very confusing for the outside world, but for me it is my second language. More specifically, I have developed a passion for the technical elements of theatre over the years. The joy of being the “people in black” that can make amazing sets and produce incredible plays which goes unnoticed.. Although this discourse is much small yet complex it has helped me find out who I am but also in my academic skills through learning how to work in teams, solve problems independently but also how to be

    Because of that, U.S. citizens need to be prepared for these horrific events, especially Louisiana most recently. Louisiana has been one of the country’s latest “victims” of these phenomena, but the southern state’s recent experiences are just one of many every month, if not every week. Cities within several states experience destruction and devastation, and most do not know how to cope with all the loss that results after it. Knowing that, it would make sense that people would feel a little bit of relief knowing that at least there is a plan when these occurrences happen.
