Ghetto Narrative

Improved Essays
1st Month It’s not as bad as it was made out to be. I had been evacuated out of my house, and into a ghetto. I have never been closer to my community than I have now. We are in immediate vicinity of each other and we are able to socialize and operate normally for a community from a certain aspects. The guards aren’t being heinous, and they seem to take our best interest in mind. I mean sure, they may have taken away our liberties such as taking away my gold, but it’s all orders given to them. The only real part I really have to complain about is the living space. Sure I like to be within a close community but at times it can be excessive. We were forced to live within a small single bedroom household, we being 15 pungent smelling jews. I still have my beautiful Aryan …show more content…
They had started evacuating jews out of the ghetto, and cramming us into trains. Families where in which are interracial take different trains, because interracial marriage has become illegal. A good friend of mine, James had his wife and daughter taken away while he resides alone in the ghetto. I pity the poor man. I could never imagine losing my wife Anastasia. We had met in Hamburg and it was love at first sight. She was a Aryan Immigrant, and she radiated all things holy. My faith in god was precarious at the time being, as I was going through troublesome experience. After meeting her I was convinced she was a gift from god, which restored my faith and I had the luck to have her convert. We then had my daughter Maria. A blessing given to us for our good faith. A child who is strictly made up of positive auras. If I were to lose either of them, my devastation would be incomparable. I believe in an all merciful god, and I am deserving of his mercy. So I shall not fear, God is Good, Good is God. Psalm 23:4 “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort

    Since I was born, New York City has been my life, my blood, and bones; I have grown and lived with many different people with different backgrounds. My neighborhoods have shaped me into who I am today, I am flexible and open, like raw clay, enough to be changed and formed. Then there is the Bronx, a borough of New York, where you have to be strong, or you will not survive, a place where all races are together, and everyone is noisy. I live in a community where there are mostly Hispanics, and where there are always car passing by and honking, during the day it is the only sound you can here, and ear-piercing bird calls, but during the night there is always some kind of party, either that or just really loud music. I have grown to get use…

    I align myself with the youth of Baltimore City. Since enrolling in a Baltimore City Public School, I feel more connected to the rest of the city and the issues that affect young people daily. There is often times negative, and discriminatory image of us, which I admittedly used to have myself. During my young life, I thought those in public school were uniformly impoverished, aggressive, and, for lack of a better term, “ghetto.” I was insecure about my voice, my packed lunch, even my own safety when I entered high school.…

    While it is uncomfortable to acknowledge that some of us have an unearned advantage in life thanks to things that we have no control over; such as gender, race, skin color, sexual orientation, accent and even wealth, it is important to discuss to better ourselves. As much as we, as individuals can continue to acknowledge and recognize our privilege it is practically impossible to discard or refrain from benefiting from the advantageous perks of the privileges. 0However, as we are able to see this invisible advantage many deny we can use our privilege to help and speak out and against the societal constructs. Lucky for me I have American, middle-class, straight and most of the time, white privilege. When I have a conversation with someone, with…

    There was once a time in my life when I believed growing up hispanic in the ghetto parts of California was considered a recipe for failure, until my family moved to Washington State. While attending elementary school, I the was bullied by the rest of the kids in school, but the teachers never seemed to notice and that made my situation worse and made me feel left out. When I entered high school, I never participated in any school events or sports because I was overweight, and self conscience about what others thought about me. The teachers never treated me the same as the rest of the students because they played sports; they didn’t have to do certain assignments, would be graded better, and even have more privileges than others. I was never really treated like the others because I read Literature and didn’t do sports, until the end of my Sophomore year my Family and I moved to a neighboring town and school, where I suddenly was treated normal and I Began to participate in sports and clubs.…

In my opinion, most have gone through, or will go through, a severe trial during their life that will cause them to change their perspective. For me the trail I experienced which impacted me the most was seeing my little sister in critical condition at the age of two. I was nine and my world turned upside down for what seemed like forever.

    Another tragic memory that pumped some sense into my head about racial identity and ethnic disparities; was when my elder brother was arrested on the basis of being black. My brother was wrongfully arrested because a Caucasian officer expressed that he saw him rob someone. Upon arrival at the scene trying to understand what happened, that officer expressed in his words that “ nigger you know you robbed that store”. I couldn’t believe that this was happening to me because, I have always heard about situations like this. The officer made more remarks such as, “you niggers are always stealing”, “you niggers will always be shit”, and you are going to pay for this crime even if you did not do it.…
