Personal Narrative-I Am Corn
I got new socks yesterday, and found a Santa hat for my (unglazed) Sumo sculpture, just thought you might want to know.

Okay, that was probably way too much crazy for you at this early juncture in our friendship, I’ll employ more restraint in the future.

JoAnn
P.S. I got soap in my eyes while showering today, it hurt really bad.

Remember those grown-up conversations we use to have in days of yore? Yeah, me too. It was really good practice for me on the whole grown-up thingy. Perhaps, we can have another grown-up talk someday.

I actually have two Sumo sculptures (only one has a hat), I feel strongly that they’re underrepresented (don’t get me started!) in the art world.

Uh-oh, looks like the crazy is still there.

    Personal Narrative: All About Me

    Now this is where I`m supposed to write “all about me”. This is where I become lost. I mean, come on. I wouldn`t know where to start. But I guess the best way to have an idea what makes me tick and what ticks me off is by checking my journal that i fill with endless ramblings about whatever and whoever catches my fleeting fancy or rage. :)…

    Personal Narrative: My First Track

    Two years ago, on a cold Saturday morning, I prepared for my first ever track tryout. I took a shower, put on my clothes, and got into the car. On my way to practice, I felt strong physically, but I also had an undefined, jittery feeling about how the day was going to go.…

    Personal Narrative: Who Am I

    Who am I? That has always been an essential question for as long as I can remember. I never really understood why we had to answer that question along the way, but I’m now a senior at SJPII and I still have no idea who I am. It really bothers me that for 16 years I still haven’t figured out who I am. Constantly going from class to class and making new friends I still can’t pin point who the “real” me is.…

    Personal Narrative: Corn Holes

    Corn hole was the second thing I tried at Fall Fest. This game is not the most thrilling thing in the world. There were several people that were waiting to play because it was pretty much the only thing to do. I am not very good at it, which is weird because the only thing you have to do is toss a bean bag onto a wooden box that has a hole in it. I have never understood the corn hole rules so that didn’t help. The way to get points is by making it in the hole or if the bag stays on the board, but I don’t know how the scoring works. My bags always missed or bounced off the board anyways. I was going to play volleyball after corn hole, but there was no one else playing it so I just watched a bunch of other people play corn hole. Countless other…

    The Jomon Culture

    The Jomon Culture

    These pieces of art are often ignored because of the Jomon’s unique pottery, but are a critical part of their culture. These figurines were often very varied, as many different villages of the Jomon often made them different sizes and shapes than others (Gleason, 2015). The oldest known dogu was discovered in Shiga, dating back to the Incipient Jomon period, about 13,000 years ago (Gleason, 2015). Most of the dolls are found in the northern and eastern parts of Japan, such as the Kanto region (Gleason, 2015). Dogu are human effigies, with many being female, often pregnant and usually are broken or appear to be purposely broken (Gleason, 2015). Although the dogu have been studied extensively, the purpose of the figures still remain a mystery. It is thought that they were broken in rituals for things such as the promotion of good health, to cure illnesses, or promote fertility (Kawagoe, 2007). Others found in western Japan are thought of to represent fortune in agriculture (Kawagoe, 2007). The earliest creations were headless, and are strongly believed to represent an earth goddess or deity (Kawagoe, 2007). This changed in the Middle Jomon, when they started to acquire heads and other human characteristics, such as prominent breasts, buttocks and genitalia (Gleason, 2015). Also this is when animal-shaped dolls, such as a cat, start to make an appearance (Kawagoe, 2007). The introduction of animal-shaped dogu indicate signs of animistic forms of nature worship, deeming them sacred (Kawagoe, 2007). Dogu are very important when studying the Jomon culture because they show the prowess and importance of shaman in the culture, which used these extensively. These dolls transformed and evolved into later eras in Japanese culture, changing dramatically from their…

    Personal Narrative: My Identity

    I am of Chinese descent and one of the biggest parts of being Chinese is food. Food in China is diverse and unique from region to region. As a result, one’s cooking will often reflect one’s identity. As I learn to cook, I have to choose. Will I favor the Szechuan style, hot, spicy, yet heart-warming? Perhaps I’ll favor the sweet Shanghai style, more delicate, yet more refined. Or, I may go with my parent’s Shandong Style, rich, powerful, and familiar to me. As I learn to cook, I will refine my identity through the dishes I…

    As I was writing my personal narrative for my composition 1 class, it easily made my mind boggle. After I had got started on my personal narrative, it was easy for me to keep writing and keep following along the story line. The main strength of mine that the essay played to was my creativity and my flexibility for different writings, because I have never written an essay as serious and sad as this one, but I did have to add my happy ending when I finished the story. I wanted it to be very attention grabbing with a twist, but I also wanted it to be very emotional.…
