Rocky's Death-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
It was a colorful Sunday afternoon and I was outside with my two dogs Rocky and Cece. They were playing while I was on the front porch on my swing. I lived in front of a major highway which, was very busy that day. I got distracted on my phone talking with one of my friends and, did not notice Rocky had wandered off. I heard I loud pop and thought someone had popped one of the tires on their car. I came to realize my greatest fear.

I turned to look to see if I needed to help the driver. It was not a tire in fact it was my dog that the driver had run over. “Rocky!” I screamed and ran into the street. “I’m so sorry.” “Is there anything I can do to help”? Asked the driver. “No” I said bitterly. I was exceedingly dismayed and thought it was my fault for not paying attention. It sincerely traumatized me. I wasn’t the same after that incident.

    Rocky and Body and Soul are both movies that fit comfortably into the boxing genre, a genre that has been defined by its typical pattern of the unknown boxer rising to fame, falling, and rising again. Leger Grindon encapsulates the commonalities of these movies and the boxing film genre in what he calls the “master plot” (Grindon 57). When Rocky and Body and Soul are held up next to the master plot it becomes evident that each fits in quite well, but each also has features that separate it from the master plot. As Grindon explains, “individual texts will select from, vary, or add to the routine formula, but the master plot incorporates the general expectations of the spectator and often supplies implicit information assumed by any particular film” (Grindon 57). Therefore, the significance of this is not…

    I am surrounded by a loving and caring family in a comfortable environment and I can say with complete certainty that any member of my family will do whatever is in their power to make sure I am safe from anything that threatens my mental and physical wellbeing. If, God forbid, something happens to my parents or siblings, I have the security of knowing that I have aunts, uncles, grandparents and friends to lean on, I have the security of knowing I won't have to rely on strangers for help. Most importantly, if something tragic happens to a loved one, I will be devastated, but I will not spend the remainder of my life waiting for them to return. From experience I know that slowly, but surely I will move on. While this may seem a bit redundant, there are people who never get over the death of a loved one.…

Only a few months earlier, after learning material in this course, I addressed important questions to my family relating to their personal preferences when in the face of death. My family has always held relatively private attitudes towards death. When my grandmother passed away, each member of my family went to our separate rooms and dealt with our own emotions separately and never addressed the death with support from each other. Looking back, all our attitudes have all drastically changed as a result of my dad’s health issues; our family is now very supportive of each other and we tackle emotional setbacks as a team.…
