Personal Narrative: My Work Better Than A Mommy

233 Words1 Page

When first starting the essay, I had some trouble figuring out what exactly I wanted to write about. I had a lot of thoughts, but my problem was putting them all together in a manner that wouldn’t sound like a personal diary. It’s tempting to write everything I know and don’t know about myself, but I’m sure that that wasn’t the point of the assignment. As far as I can tell, everything I wrote in the essay is true. The only part that isn’t exactly correct is that I have a five-inch rubber ghost (it’s actually a mummy, but I changed it after your feedback). I do agree that a ghost works better than a mummy; it gives the story some more symbolism. Another thing I’d like to mention is that I tried to write the story from the perspective of that

    My visit to the cemetery was very interesting. When I first read the assignment sheet, I didn’t want to visit the cemetery. I thought it was scary to visit a stranger; it turned out to be very fascinating. When I got to Kewanee Cemetery I got the goosebumps all over my body; six crows following me around, watching every step I took. After a while, I was more intrigued about the headstones that I even forgot about the crows.

    As a student, I have grown in my skills for academic success by having to write an essay in my Honors English class. We’ve recently finished reading the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and were told to write an essay about one of the given prompts. Before having to write this essay, I was struggling with the type of vocabulary and perspective, which was third-person, I was supposed to use. I had to find the right quotes from the book and explain in detail how they support the prompt, I felt that was the hardest for me. The words “I” or “me” weren’t allowed in the essay, unless they were in quotes.

  • Behind The Formaldehyde Curtain Summary

    877 Words  | 4 Pages

    Analysis of an Essay Do you ever wonder how a brutal murder victim appears to look their normal selves at their funeral? Well, in Jessica Mitford’s “Behind the Formaldehyde Curtain”, she takes us through the amazing, yet disturbing process called Embalming and Restorative Arts. Mitford is disgusted and completely against it because she thinks it is inhumane, so she goes into illustrative detail by using similes, and a great deal of imagery. Mitford’s purpose of the essay was to gain support in objecting towards embalming, and inform us of the process through graphic detail. She did this using process analysis and telling us step by step.

    Thesis Statement The complexity of the Egyptians’ burial procedures may suggest an obsession with death. Indeed, the Egyptians put much thought into the way they would be buried, but these thoughts are tied more to religious beliefs like a second life after death, rather than death itself. Paragraph 2 - Early Mummies Introduction sentence (Transition) Ancient Egyptian mummies weren’t always wrapped wrapped in linen and placed in golden sarcophaguses.

  • Personal Narrative: My Rave Review Of My Job

    890 Words  | 4 Pages

    I have had a lot of obscure jobs in the past, working for an airplane repair facility, working for an answering service in a small backroom of a funeral home, jobs in retail, and now working at a car dealership – at least for now. While it sounds like I have been in the working world at length, it is has only been a little over a decade since I got my first afterschool job. It seems I bring a bout of bad luck with me wherever I go, though my former employers have not a negative word to share about me, a rave review is hard to come by from an out of service number as every place I have worked for has gone out of business. Expiration dates are all part of the deal when it comes to the working world, it is something that I dread, but accept.

    The narrator appears to have a positive and loving attitude for her mother; she has a lot of respect and pride for her and wants to stand up for what her mother rightfully deserves. I think this was very unique; she uses irony repeatedly in her essay. It keeps you interested throughout the essay and even after I finished. I wondered what her response was to the person at the Social Security Office after they said, "Well you see-your mother never worked." Even though she didn't express her feelings about not getting any benefits from her mother's death, I can tell that she was upset and shocked that the government overlooked the work, her mother did daily.

    A sense of accomplishment is invaluable to a person. Not only does a sense of accomplishment build confidence and faith in oneself, but it also allows one to reflect on how wonderful the journey to the accomplishment was, and how every little struggle and triumph was worth it. In the middle of summer, where time seems endless and the stress of the previous school year has been shed by students, I never expected to find out that I scored a five on both of the advanced placement exams I took. Nor did I have one-hundred percent confidence the goals we set as section leaders of the marching band would actually be met. Yet to my surprise, I had the good fortune of accomplishing challenging things in both aspects of my life.
