    Themes In The Authentic Life Of Billy The Kid

    The three components making up the mythic west are important in their own right. The West as an abysmal failure, though, I placed higher on the totem pole than the other categories. Abysmal failure is due to the people’s dashed hopes, broken dreams, financial ruin, or even tragic death at the hands of brutal bad guys or unrelenting forces of nature, and the dark side lurking in the shadows. The concept of abysmal failure is seen in the forefront of most sources representing the American West. Published in 1882, Pat Garrett’s novel, The Authentic Life of Billy the Kid, tells us his story on the life and death of Billy the Kid, who he ended his life in the latter half of the novel.…

    William Henry Mccarty: The Legend Of Billy The Kid

    I thought that pretty much everyone knew who Billy the Kid was, but as I have told people what I was doing my essay on, I have gotten many confused looks. This was surprising to me. I thought that everyone at least would recognize the name, but boy was I wrong. Since no one knows who this western outlaw legend is, I guess I will just start off with the basic boring information.…

    Personal Narrative: My Return To Coleman Country Day Camp

    Most teenagers would probably tell you that the beginning of their adulthood was marked by having to do laundry for the first time, or being able to drive alone, or perhaps no longer sitting at the children's table at family events. But for me, it happened this past summer, when I made the very difficult decision that I would not return to Coleman Country Day Camp. To those who were not fortunate enough to have grown up at summer camp, this might not seem like such a big decision to make. But Coleman was my outlet, my second home for ten consecutive summers and spending those two months anywhere else seemed inconceivable to me.…

    Jim Jones's Childhood In Gone From The Promise Land

    After reading part one of Gone from the Promise Land, I was not at all surprised to find out how troublesome Jim Jones’s childhood was. In class, I learned that Jim Jones had thought of himself as ‘God’ and he had lead a religion where he was able to convince the followers of this religion to commit suicide. Since Jim Jones was able to convince a large number of people to commit suicide, I thought that his reasoning for doing this must have stemmed from his childhood. I thought it stemmed from his childhood because most troublesome actions stem from something that happened in one’s youth. As the book describes Jim’s youth, it had described Jim as being an aggressive kid, “I was ready to kill by the end of the third grade.…

    Personal Narrative: Abolitionist's Autobiography

    If a politician's autobiography is a depiction of his / hers the foreseeing mind and extraordinary political life, if an abolitionist's autobiography is a personal recountal of their generosity and fraternity in addition to his / hers advanced thinking, then my personal narrative essay would be words and phrases that tells what kind of person I am, no matter this thing would make me embarrassed or not. There are two major phases of my life after I have consciousness and basic cognition to the world. The first phase is called "the era of ignorance and blindness". Like most children, I neither have the intelligence to solve problems quickly and precisely without assistance, nor being patient enough to acquire the ways to be erudite.…

    Narrative Essay On Jasper Jones

    Grey. The walls of the Tower were all a very monotonous, dull grey. The particular wall I was staring at had a class symbol on it, albeit not attuning to my own. The symbols were mentally etched into every class, so having them painted on the walls of our home reminded us of the pride we carry. But as of late, I can’t say there has been much self-pride for me to bathe in.…
