On the surface it seems like I’d know everything that there is to know from my subject, but I know better than to assume so. This is why I decided to go with my wife, Krizia Martinez as the subject for my profile essay. My wife has gone through several tragic experiences in her short life of twenty-eight years, from her biological father leaving her at a young age, to her brother being imprisoned for nine years, and then two step-fathers falling to cancer. These experiences have shaped her into the person she is today and it shocks me how resilient a person can be. As losing family members or loved ones are a common theme to most people, I believe readers will find it interesting to read about her experiences and coping mechanisms through those

    This Is How You Lose Her By Junot Diaz

    Deciphering right from wrong and knowing when compassion should be given is a tough decision. The novel “This Is How You Lose Her” by Junot Diaz is a vulgar yet believable story that addresses this choice. It is told from the point of view of the main character named Yunior where he talks about his relationships with others and life experiences. The story jumps around different periods of time in his life but focuses primarily between the youngest memories he has as a child moving from the Dominican Republic to becoming a lonely and old tenured professor in Boston.

    Personal Essay: Clarisa Gailey's Early College Career

    How would you feel if you were the mother to seventeen children, fourteen of which were your natural born children and three of which you were fostering? How would you feel if there were special needs, emotional problems, and heavy demands in their care? The noise, the mess, the needs, and the attention demands of them could be enough to drown out the “self” in many people today. “You could lose yourself in that,” Clarisa Gailey recounts as we sit in her living room. According to Clarisa, it certainly would have done so for her, and her life would be rewritten today had it not been for what she experienced in her early college career.…

    The Thing Around Your Neck By Adichie

    The third stereotype is that they have the same experience in public as any other couple, friends and family. Which is not true because people will be rude to them, stare at them more and people react different to them than same race couples. Which is similar to what happening to Chimenda Ngozi Adichie in ‘The Thing around Your Neck” on pg. 125, ‘You knew by people’s reactions that you two were abnormal the way the nasty ones were too nasty and the nice one too nice. The old white men and women who muttered and glared at him, the black men who shook their heads at you, the black women whose pitying eyes bemoaned your lack of self- esteem, your self- loathing.…

    Specific Analysis Of Leave Jaimito By Maria Teresa

    Specific Analysis: Dedé compares her decision to leave Jaimito and join the resistance force with her sisters to growing a plant in her garden in that it requires persistence, work, and passion. However, she later recounts that she forgot to plant the seeds for her plan, revealing that her plan will fail as a plant must be grown from a seed. The seed represents her character: at this point, Dedé does not have the courage or strength to go forward with her plan, and thus, her ideas for a new life have no base. Without the strength to follow her decision, Dedé’s decision lets her delude herself but ends up being ineffective as she is unable to stand up to Jaimito in time. On the outside, Dedé believes that she wants to leave Jaimito and has…

    Personal Narrative Analysis

    This article is, in my opinion, an example of how personal narrative can sometime confuse the author’s purpose. In order to frame her arguments she discussed her experiences with her family, and specifically how she was born a twin to a stillborn sister. She explains her families lack of coping and how her family effected her life, but I failed to focus on the overarching idea that she wanted to get out because of how distracting the stories from her personal life are. Instead found myself thinking that her story was strangely personal without much justification for why it was this way. While the point of her article, the balance between truth and respect, was somewhat present overall, the sections of personal narrative that she decided to include muddled it.…
