Taking A Closer Look At Jeff's Life-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
Today was an ordinary morning of school for Jeff. He woke up late, and took his shower, and got on his bus to go to school. Jeff was always a strange boy, sort of a misfit, and he stuck with himself, and didn't socialize with the other students. Jeff was an outcast of society in his school, with no friends to talk to, and the only thing the people had to say was critisizim, and pain. They never had anything good to say about him. He was your average student, did fairly well in all his classes, but was very creative, and loved to create motorized machines, using gas engines. He had the coolest lawn mower on the block.

After himself and the chainsaw is sparkling, he grabs a garbage bag, and puts the chainsaw inside it. There is no way he is going to let people see it until he gets to school. After getting all that done, the bus comes, and he gets on. The entire way there, he continues to look out the window, but only this time, he is smiling. This is the first day in Jeff's history that he cannot wait until he gets to school. Finally, the bus arrives, and Jeff and his garbage bag get off. Just as he enters the building, the tweleve kids are standing there. One of them corners him, and says, "Not had enough huh?" Jeff, emotionless, looks at him and smiles, laughing hysterically. The kid backs off, and the other eleven's faces started to change, from humor to a concerned fear. They know somthing is going to happen. Suddenly, he tears the bag apart, revealing his big red baby polished to perfection. His mechanical beauty was right in his hands. He grabs the big rubber pull cord, and starts the motor on the first stroke. The engine screams to life, and without delaying a second, he releases the clutch, pulls the throttle wide open, and the blades spin so fast there is a steady breeze. As all three blades rotate

    I’ve usually learned in hard way because frankly, I love to challenge myself to expand my personal capacity. Although I had already talked to one of my classmates about having interview with her as a Caucasian woman, I decided to do it with my cousin’s friend, Jacob, who I met in my place for the first time during Thanksgiving holidays.

    The shot starts off comedic, as Jim impersonates a police siren and is told to stop by a sergeant holding a comically-small coffee cup. Jim sits – or rather, is unceremoniously flopped – in a shoe-shining chair with a price-list and a broom hanging behind him, which adds to showing his childishness. However, this shot takes a dramatic turn rather quickly as the camera pans over to Plato with his maid standing close to him, creating a sense of intimacy, contrasting what we just saw in the opening. Jim overhears Plato’s maid say that the boy is shivering and immediately shows his mature side by offering Plato his jacket. His stance changes drastically, from relaxed and spread out, to a more serious, adult-like posture.…
