Personal Narrative Analysis

Improved Essays
In small-town Mississippi, I was always taught that being Conservative was the only way to be and that thinking any other way would go completely against my religion. That being said for the majority of my life I believed I was a Republican until I turned 16 and realized that I agree with very little of what Conservatives do. I now consider myself to be an Independent who leans liberal and the thought of changing my views is pretty unfathomable at this point.
However, if I really had to contemplate doing that I would have to consider my few objections to the typical view of Liberals, and that would mostly have to deal with my thoughts on abortion. While I am pro-choice, I do not fundamentally believe that this should be an option at all times

    I am pro-choice, but not because I do not value human life, and most certainly not because I hate children. I believe that human life is of the utmost importance, but I also think that women’s rights are essential. It is not inhumane, or unfair for women to seek out an abortion, it is their medical decision, and it is their right to have control over their own body. People state that the mother could simply give the child up for adoption, but that may not be the best option, and there are a number of reasons as to why someone would seek out an abortion. Pregnancies can be extremely costly, and the mother may be unable to afford to keep the child.…

    A.I believe the most challenging aspect of working in protective services would be not letting your career consume you physically and mentally. Knowing that there's such a great need out there and you're not always able to help when you want to,would be the most challenging aspect to me . You wouldn't think that it affects you, but it does. The emotional strain of the job and the desire to want to help everyone can be overwhelming.…

    This week was overwhelming. I live in Seminole, FL. and lost power very early Monday morning of September 11 and my power and cable was just restored yesterday, September 17.

I was a little concern at first having to deal with the storm by myself as my family is nowhere near by. Glad to say my daughter and I may it through the storm and only had to deal with the heat.…

    Sometimes A failure isn’t a failure at all it’s just a minor setback. I learned this at the beginning of my 10th grade year. My teacher had told my classmates and I that we were able to be dual enrollment students at Germanna Community College. She informed us that we would have to take an entrance exam to be placed in classes that were suitable for us. When she said this we told her that we’d be ready and that we’d pass with no problems.…

    “Let me win, but if I cannot win let me be brave in the attempt.” Many of the athletes I met used this quote as inspiration to get through some of the best weeks of their lives. Not only did they use this quote then, but they also continue to use it everyday. In the summer of 2015 I was given the opportunity of a lifetime.…

    When I was born, per my father, whenever you would talk to me, I wouldn’t show any reaction towards you. The only time I would ever react is when my mother was screaming about something and I would look around the room for the sound. In third grade, I would always get in trouble, perhaps because I didn’t listen when I was supposed to. This changed as soon as I got my hearing aids. I remember the molding of the hearing aid being stuck into ears, which felt like there was cold water in my ears.…

    When I wrote this essay I was in my new home, my door room. I often refer to my dorm as my house, which my friends despise but I do it anyways. I always say “Want to come over to my house?”. Writing this essay in my new house allowed me to reflect back to my old house in Rotterdam. The physical setting that I was in made me feel extremely nostalgic for my old room at home that I shared with my little sister.…

    This year I learned a lot, and it was my most stressful, emotional, and extra year I have ever been through. I of course went through heartbreak, and betrayal of old friends, but what high school student wouldn’t go through all of that. Even though through it all, it made me become a better person. I had altercations with students, and teachers, and it made me realize that I need to be more mature. I promised myself this year not to let anything get to me, and to just keep to myself, but I wound up having the most emotional year I never thought I could have.…

    When the majority children think about their adolescent years they think about the joyful times, but I remember standing outside, with my Minnie Mouse suitcase, waiting for my father to pick me up like he promised, but he never showed. In general, I cannot remember much about him during the 10 year span of my adolescents that he was heavily drinking. My father and mother officially divorced when I eighteen months old and my mother was granted sole custody when she was twenty-two. From there things fell into a downward spiral, when I was three years old my father tried to drive while under the influence with me in the car which concluded in a restraining order which was dropped when I was four years old. By the time I was six I began to recognize…

    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.…

    Lastly pro-life people would argue that adoption is a great alternative. A lot of women do not want to go through the nine months of carrying that child. They may not be able to afford those nine months of prenatal care, or doctor visits. So I still stand firm in my belief that women should have the right to…
