Personal Narrative Analysis

Have you ever had something minor happen and multiple major things come out of it? I had an experience like that where I learned something interesting.

It was an average Thursday, although it was a little hot for November, and it was recess time. I was running from my friend Connor when I decided to run under the slides, where a hornets nest happened to be right above. One of the worker bees saw me and flew straight for me.

The first thing he did was sting me right below my ear. I swatted at it instinctively, missing, which made it sting me one more time before it flew away.As soon as it was gone I ran up the side of the hill to the recess monitor, although the pain made it quite difficult. “I got stung by a bee,” I said as I started bawling.

Normally we would have a choice on what we wanted to eat, but since it was so late the night before they didn’t get our orders, so we all ate the traditional breakfast, while Brab and Otto talked about a few things. Even though none of us had planned on doing anything that day we ended up having to go to our sites right after we finished breakfast. The only thing we were told was, “I was not told what you would be doing, only that the churches expect you to be there. So once you're done eating go get anything you need and then load up on the vans with your team and a jug of water.”…
