Personal Narrative: Two Things I Know Themselves

Improved Essays
Looking through my sights I just see the two lines
I’m a hunter in the grass like I’m hunting two lions
I put twenty in my clip like I put in two dimes
Running through a field like I’m dodging two mines
I’m stuck behind a wall like a pair of two mimes
I think above the world like I carry two minds
I’m the better half of myself you see
I got the rest of my rhymes on a shelf
“who’s he?”
Talladega knights they’re just saying be me
I’m taking baby steps to find what I’ll be
Keep a steady flow like I’m sailing out to sea
I got to stay low because the feds rolling deep
They won’t find my stash because I buried the key
I’m busting open cops like Bavarian cream
While looking through a pair of sights searching for the fleas

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

    Comparing Two Poems

    • 1260 Words
    • 6 Pages

    “He's so sad that he knows… back to the lab again yo” (Line 23-24), shows that the disparities of fear he once had and proves the no matter what happens, he is going to go back to his notepad, described here as the lab, and write his poems until he thinks it is good enough to win over the tough crowd. Additionally, the theme of determination is being impressively denoted in the lines “Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged I was playin' in the beginnin', the mood all changed” (Line 52-55), as the poet describes how he is about to change all the angry and frustrated judgements in which he is in a state where he can not get anything done “Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged” into a stable mindset, “I'm a change what you call rage”, where he can get work done and succeed. Continued analysis of the poem leads the reader to see another widely used literary term and it is called rhyme. The rhyming pattern in any Eminem song is a difficult one to catch and understand and…

    At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…
