White Crayons-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
Decisions for a person like me, who thinks way too much about way too many things are absolute HELL!!! They also take FOREVER! You go from thinking about the options, to the consequences the, “am I going to regret this later?” sort of thing. Like I can totally see myself ten years from now, sitting in front of a table covered in bridal magazines, cake and fabric samples. Trying to choose between chocolate, or red velvet, or vanilla cake, and trying to choose between Chiffon or Taffeta. while screaming, “does it ever end!”, and the answer is no, no it does not. Then after that I’d have to choose between two shades of white for just about everything. which is really ridiculous when you think about it. Like howmany shade of white can you have? …show more content…
It’s Like the people at Crayola just sat there looking at two minutely different white crayons and they just shrugged and said, “it’s slightly different, let's give it a different name!”. And you’re telling me people just went along with that crap! What are white crayons and colored pencils for anyway? Shrinky-Dinks were the only reason I could come up with other than shading effects, and construction paper.

    We read literature to gain knowledge and some perspective. It also serves as an example for us to learn to be nicer and kind to others. For instance, the writers reveal truths that we are often oblivious to, we can also see the perspective of others, as well as learning from exemplary figures, and we often learn from the mistakes others make. We can witness the consequences of the actions taken by some people from reading about it and thus making us more self-aware. In the graphic novel Darkroom: A Memoir in Black & White written by Lila Quintero Weaver, the events that transpire are an example of this knowledge and perspective that we acquire just from reading it.…
