Personal Narrative: My Trip To New France

120 Words1 Page

Today was a big day for me, probably one of the most important, also concluding that it was the first time I had arrived in New France. At 7:30 a.m., us passengers were let of this grand ship that took us all the way from France to New France! Even though it had taken me more than 3 months, I was glad to start a new life in this new territory. As we got of the ship, I immediately smelled fresh air that I haven’t in a long time. I recall my mom saying “good luck with your new journey!” about 4 months ago. A while later, my crew and I got started with building the log cabin right away.

  • Personal Narrative: Lafayette Escadrille

    932 Words  | 4 Pages

    Hi, I’m Eugene Skinner, and I was part of the Lafayette Escadrille during World War I, which was a squadron of primarily American fighter pilots who fought for France before the United States entered the war. Although I lived in France at the time, my roots were dug in the US, and I came over seas because my father told me that all races were treated equally there, and for the most part, that was true. However, when I first moved to France, the only job I could find was one as a carnival target, which sufficed until I was noticed for my boxing talent. Just before the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, I moved to Paris in hopes of making it big, and I did: I ranked number four in the country before I enlisted. But why would I end something so wonderful, you ask?

  • The Hero's Journey In Lanval By Marie De France

    452 Words  | 2 Pages

    In “Lanval” by Marie de France, Lanval is a hero, though parts of his journey are sometimes hard to identify as herioc. Lanval’s story follows the basic elements of the monomyth, or Hero’s Journey, when read closely. He begins his journey in a vaguely unsatisfying ordinary world where he is unappreciated and where “he could see nothing that pleased him” (52). Leaving that world, he enters into the world of Queen Semiramis, wherein he is not only beloved of the Queen but assured that “he would never again want anything / he would receive as he desired” (135-36). When Lanval is challenged by his Lady “if this love were known / you would never see me again”, he accepts his quest readily (148-49).
