Paradise is a retirement town and I met a lady named Bonnie that lived close by. She was 95 years old and had no family other than a brother that lived in Texas. I spoke with him several times on the phone and he himself was in his 80’s. I was really concerned for her well being and she wasn’t doing all that well on her own besides she was very lonely. I took her under my wing for several years and helped her with her shopping, errands and cooked her meals. Bonnie was a retired school teacher and was really sharp for her age. We became great friends as time went by. She lived in a retirement mobile home park, which was great as the neighbor’s looked out for each other as much as they …show more content…

It has a simple, clean, streamlined and functional design with bent wood supports for the arms, a wooden circular base and a matching ottoman that goes with it. They are the only recliners endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association. It is covered in nice soft textured leather and reclines to any position. The Swedish are very talented designers and use simple lines that really appeal to me. The first Stressless chairs were made for the Norwegian market. Stressless was the first recliner in the market to take into account that people with different builds have to have different chair sizes in order to sit comfortably and to ensure maximum support for the entire body.

    In elementary school, one of my teachers was especially infamous for humiliating students. I remember him loudly shaming one of my classmates, scoffing at the work turned in. Another moment that stuck with me was when I had stayed in during tutorial for help with math concepts, and he became increasingly angry when I made a mistake on the problems. I ended up developing a deep-seated fear of rejection. I generally avoided talking to my teachers for help from then on, hoping that the lack of interaction meant they would not give me grief over the mistakes I would make.…

    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.…
