Personal Narrative: Barbie Toys

Superior Essays
All I saw were the toys, bright colors, and smiles. It was a wonderful place filled with everything I ever wanted, Barbie dolls, toy trucks, Legos and so on. As I continued to walk through, I was so excited that I was playing over in my head what toys I would play with first. The Barbie dolls first, then the playhouse, and build a house with Legos. And there were so many other kids to play along with too. With the amount of toys and having news friends all around me, I felt like I was in a wonder world. It was a magical adventure for a six year old to start a career.

I felt so beautiful and was so excited, but they brought me into a room with concrete floors, cameras, and lighting that was carefully assessed. My feelings of excitement quickly changed to scared. I knew I wasn’t in danger, but I realized how important this opportunity was for me. I thought of my mom, and how important it was for me to be great. With thoughts running through my head as such, I was then directed to play with a doll. Frankly, she was the ugliest doll and I would have never asked for a doll like this in any store. The doll was ugly, however the best attraction about her was her dress. I was able to take the sharpies that were given and her dress was my own personal coloring book. I colored in the lines of the white and black floral dress and continued to smile along. But I continued to carry on and did what I was told. I was continually given directions to keep my eyes down at the doll, smile and laugh, and color. I smiled and acted as if I was having a great time, but I would have rather have been out in the waiting room with my new friends I had met and all the fun toys. The shoot lasted for about **** hours and then I was directed back to my mother. I enjoyed getting my pictures done, but I was relieved to see my mother

    I even brought my mom’s favorite dog, even though the nurse told me to be careful because he could get in to a lot of trouble if anyone saw me take him into her room. When I set him down on top of my mom’s bed, he was scared. He didn’t know what had become of my mom; he didn’t know what any of those tubes did. When my mom woke up, we had to tell her that her dog had licked her a lot; she would feel hurt if she learned that her dog was scared of her.…

Some people grow up with pathetic excuses for parents and a shriveled home structure, and they are told they have the right to be sad.

    Ever since I was young, I have always loved my stuffed animals; even today, a large portion of my bed is covered in them. Each animal has a name and a story of who it is and how it became mine. Out of all of these animals, one specific gorilla holds a special place in my heart, because of how I came to acquire it. This gorilla, named Monkey, was given to me in March of 2003: the last time I saw my father before he totaled his truck. Cherishing Monkey is my way of reminding myself that, while he is not physically the same, my dad is still the same dad he was before his wreck.…

    When people think about parenthood now, people usually consider it as a responsibility for both parents to raise children. However, back in nineteenth century, society did not endorse that. Society believed that women had to take care of children while males could just provide money instead of actually raising their children. Since society considered the motherhood function was such an important duty for women, Ibsen, one of the promoters of the woman revolution, expresses his ideas of motherhood function in his literature works. His two plays, A Doll House and Hedda Gabler shows his point of view of motherhood function.…
