Personal Narrative: Super Beetle Bug

Nick, Mac and Michael 's canoe flipped over three quarters of the way down the river. The guide paddled upstream to assist them in flipping their canoe upright. Some of the group broke out in laughter. I laughed even though I didn’t notice much considering they were trying to twist it upright, and they kept dropping it and tripping on the rocks. And the entire trip, we were all having

The preacher who came to preach at this service, heard her singing out of everyone there. He asked her mother if he could come by the house later and of course she agreed. He sat Paula down to tell her that she was a lovely singer and knew of a world renowned opera teacher who was holding auditions in Washington, D.C. The preacher told her that she could ride with them up there to audition, then fly back home. She was unsure of driving all the way there with people she had never met.

The story begins with a seemingly normal plot about a family’s road trip to Florida, and a stubborn Grandmother who stirs up trouble along the way. Before the trip, the Grandmother becomes fearful of meeting a recently escaped convict, the Misfit, and begs to take a trip to Tennessee instead of Georgia (O’Connor 177). However, the family believes that she is having irrational fears and proceeds with the trip as planned. After a while, the the talkative Grandmother remembers an old house she one visited, and manipulates the family into going. However, the house turned out to be in Tennessee, not Georgia, and upon realising the mistake the startled Grandmother jumped up and disturbed her bag and basket that the cat lye in (O’Connor 182).

Hey grandma I want to hear a story too! Grandkid #1: What’s wrong? Scout:

“The journey will never go as expected, life is going to throw in some curve balls and wait to see what happens.” This is the central message to the story that my father tells several times a year anytime we are about to go on a trip. The story all begins with my Pawpaw John. Pawpaw John was a very loved and lighthearted man who was an avid outdoorsman. He grew up poor, so he was a handy man out of necessity.

Sammy was funny,friendly,nice,hardworking and personable. The time was now eight-thirty p.m. and it was time to close up for the night when a screech came from the back of the kitchen. Everyone froze in disbelief and thought to themselves what was that?Granny Peterson darted

and she couldn’t find anything either, so she just gave me some of her clothes. My dad is getting the truck ready for the trip because we are leaving at 1 a.m. so that us kids can sleep for most of the ride because the ride is 15 hours long. We finally all got packed into the car and left. By 1:30a.m. Everyone was already asleep besides for my

When I was eight, my family could not believe what I was doing to my nanny on the way to Gatlinburg. My family and I begin to scavenge our belongings to place in my mother 's car, my anxiety and excitement begins to rise. We all start to swarm in the vehicle and to my recollection, I notice the sun beginning to ascend over the horizon. My mother stomped on the gas pedal to accelerate the car forward out of our driveway onto the road. In the car, my parents occupy the front driver and passenger seats, my brother sits next to the window behind my mother and I sit behind my father, which leaves the middle seat for my nanny to take up.

Going several hours back in time, my eight year old sister and ten year old I were driven to Wachusett Mountain, going to a ski lesson, unaware of the events to come. We ate a quick breakfast, packed our ski bags, and set off with our father chauffeuring us. It turned out that me and my sister were the only ones at that lesson that day, I being less than enthused. (I somewhat dislike my sister for many miscellaneous reasons, such as her wonderful personality.)

The grandmother shared the back seat with her eight year old grandson, John Wesley, and granddaughter, June Star. She brought her cat, Pitty-Sing along hidden in a basket under her suitcase. The grandmother wanted to visit an old plantation so she created a story about a hidden treasure which made the

Mildred has a huge problem with the wall-screens and beetle cars. Wall-screens are like televisions today; she watches television all day long. Mildred thinks that the people on the screens are her family. When Mildred gets mad, she takes the beetle car and drives off. This is a problem because, she drives extremely fast.

Today was the dangerous day of my life. My body change in all way my back sprouted wings. My body change colors my eyes turned yellow, my legs and arms grow and started manifesting and to my whole life. Then to my old life was still with me but the new addition to it was and is “The Fighting Moth” the reason of this to help the people and free them from the villain hood of the “Trio of Power” but hopefully they were no match for the Fighting Moth and “Kassi the Leech”.

Soon Jimmy best friend came over and hung out the whole time Jimmy was babysitting. Jimmy and Bob played together like there was no limmits to anything they did. Bob started getting hungry so Jimmy made food for everyone that was there. Jimmy's mom called and said “Honey I'll be home soon ok, but still take good care of my friends kids ok?” Once they hung up Jimmy and all of the kids played.

The Beetle, an 1897 novel by Richard Marsh, takes place in the dark and supernatural country of Egypt, where said creature of horror is believed to change its form at will, and use its hypnotic powers to prey upon young middle-class English people. The novel appears to, more often than not, deal with society’s anxiety surrounding the turn of the century. Marsh analyses the opposing views of sexuality and femininity through the exchange of sexual manipulation in the novel. By numerous means of sexually influenced interferences, and the degenerate figure of the colonized, The Beetle builds a sort of parallel between the practices of the British Empire, allowing the British characters to see their individual wrongdoings in a horrific other form.

We were at the park looking down a trail that looked longer than usual. I knew it was time to learn how to balance without training wheels. I was scared, even though I knew my dad wouldn’t steer me wrong. At that moment I knew I wouldn’t mind having my training wheels on a little longer, even if the rest of my friends didn’t. But with the help of my dad I was balancing my bike in no time.
