My Cabin-Personal Narrative Analysis

Improved Essays
One fall day, on a cool, crisp morning it was quiet enough to hear an acorn fall from the trees, making a soft plunk plunk sound on a nearby leaf. My family and I journeyed out into the deep muddy woods that was sparkling from the way the sun was hitting the fresh dew. The sun was reflecting off our Ranger just right to make it look a sparkly, vibrant shade of red. We were driving on bumpy, muddy trails to check the trail cameras, which were hanging on the trees with a strap and a bright orange flag. The flag was there to warn us not to drive past or we would be caught on camera. I was sitting in the passenger seat while my dad was driving through every dirty puddle and mud hole that was in our view, with the rest of my family in the remainder …show more content…
Going there brings me a sense of peace that I forget is possible with today’s society and technology. Peacefulness is a feeling everyone is able to experience, though they do not feel it as often as they should. I feel peace at my cabin because it is in the middle of nowhere near Itasca State Park with no telephone service to contact anyone that is not there with me. Just the sight of the cabin gives me peace for the time we are there. Arriving at the cabin is like a weekly yoga class; it gives me a sense of peace when the cabin is in …show more content…
The cabin is my peaceful place because of all the memories my family and I share together up there. It is where I am able to get away from all the traffic noises and the close neighbors . It is the peaceful zone where I get the chance to look at the scenic nature all around me. . The cabin has taught me how to feel more at peace with myself and my surroundings even if the situation does not seem to have a peaceful ending. Many memories at the cabin are adventurous like the memory of me and my family getting stuck in the mud. The adventures that happen at the hunting cabin are always peaceful, and it reminds me of yoga every time I

    There’s a little slice of Heaven in Marshall, Texas, where the sun shines through the pines and the sound of cicadas serenade you throughout your afternoon and the lake shines like a plate of polished silver in the early morning sun. When I first came to Camp Fern, I was on my own. Everyone else had known each other for at least two years, so I was the odd one out. In my cabin there was the usual sort. There was the popular one, the attention seeker, the joker, and the one you love to hate.…

    Starting a first assignment can be enjoyable yet nerve wrecking, as when it involves researching yourself on "Google". it doesn't seem to help either Being a beginner to online classes, Its quite Intimidating .Its comforting of being slightly used to the computer, as my past job experience has been mostly at call centers, in front of lucent screen. When I vigoursly research myself I expect to find past photos which I probably never knew existed, maybe a my space account, sadly abandoned as I matured through the years without it. What I did find though surprisingly did not surprise me .…

    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.…
