Personal Narrative-Old Woodworking

Improved Essays
It was a beautiful church. Stacked with rows of pews. The old woodworking of each bench with red velvet covering each row. The old worn look of many followers sitting and kneeling. The stained worn wood in front where their hands laid to pray. Windows fill with stained glass to allow the beam of light from the sun to shine through. I could see the speckled particles of dust shining like the light at the end of a tunnel. In front of me was a platform with a podium built of beautiful wood. The twisting of old wood like a tree trunk had grown right where it stood. I could see the minister draped with a gorgeous robe made of white satin with red trim, the band to the left of him sat with the instruments resting between their legs with rod iron

    The church was originally called “The Cathedral of the Intercession of the Virgin” but was soon changed to “St Basil’s Cathedral.” St Basil’s Cathedral is a beautiful church. The vivid colors give it a very unique look. It seems unreal due to how bright it is until you see it in person. The way it looks down at the townspeople gives the town a happy feel.…

    People worshipped in this church on Sundays an on holy days practicing a faith mixed with pre-Christian customs (Bennett, p.12). This church of St. Andrew was the biggest building in Brigstock and because of this it was used for more than just worship. On page 12, Bennett tells us that people sold goods in the church courtyard and help meetings in it’s nave. To Cecilia, it probably seemed as if the village, manor, and parish blended…

    I was over ecstatic when Fernando, (also known as Fernie) my best guy friend asked me to go on a walking adventure with him in our hometown of Kelseyville, California. We started off the day by walking in the forest alongside of Kelsey Creek. This forest has a really big meaning to Fernie and I, because we both love nature in every aspect and these walking adventures are not uncommon to us. Starting on the path we both got lost in our own thoughts, I got distracted by looking above me at the the canopy the tree branches created. My eyes followed the patterns the sunlight was creating as it broke through the leaves and cascaded onto the uneven forest floor.…

    For three years, Father had refused the idea of leaving North Carolina. But my brother, Ben, sent us another letter, addressed as he always did to John Benjamin Wilks and Katie. In the letter Ben was praising his new farm, the richness of the land and how many more acres he was clearing. He told of the bountiful crops of corn and wheat that he would be reaping in a few weeks, more corn and wheat per acre than Father had ever gotten from our old worn out farm in North Carolina. He told of the abundance of water, game, and timber.…

    The protagonist in Carver’s “Cathedral” also serves as the narrator. The man although nameless reveals to us (the readers) who he is throughout the story. We see many ranges in this character, he shows us that he is jealous, narrow-minded, self-centered, and even prejudice. Also even though he is not described as being blind himself, he does seem to be blinded to his wife’s thoughts and feelings, as well as to things he does not understand. The main character lacks intimacy, and seems to be condescending at times.…

    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.…

    I was 13 years old, just starting off high school, when I realized what this dark cloud that’s been floating over me for the past couple of months really is. It wouldn’t be until more than a year later until I seek out professional help. It started off innocently enough as just a feeling of constant emptiness at the pit of my stomach. It slowly turned into randoms bouts of extreme rage, where I’d take out my anger physically, not just on the walls and mirrors of my childhood home and not just on my family, but on myself. I couldn’t understand why I felt this way, why I wasn’t “normal”.…

    Throughout my life, I have been the victim of several burglaries. At the age of seven, someone, in broad daylight, broke into our house and shot my dad in the chin. I was displaced to my aunt's house for weeks and missed most of my 1st grade year. When I was seventeen, I walked in on my home being robbed by some local kids. They were upstairs when I came into the house and escaped through a window, but the idea that I could have come home earlier still haunts me.…

    After flinging my school bag onto my back in an angry manner, i left my empty casing of a family home slamming the door behind me. Usually at this point I would walk the family gremlin to school because sadly we went to the same one, but the daily argument happened 20 minutes before scheduled so she wasn't even ready yet, luckily. I was now in my element. Music on, world off. I went along the same route, passing all the same oak trees, taking all the right roads as per normal.…

    The picture of the church among the fog gives of an off-putting and ghastly feel to the story. The fog and the surrounding the, what is considered pure, church is intended to make the audience feel a sense that something is off. This unnatural setting helps build suspense for the reader as it wants to further explore the actions that are foreseen to happen. The way the setting makes the audience feel setts a mood to the scene that would affect the way the audience would see dialogue and…
