Personal Narrative: My Visit To Kewanee Cemetery
My visit to the cemetery was very interesting. When I first read the assignment sheet, I didn’t want to visit the cemetery. I thought it was scary to visit a stranger; it turned out to be very fascinating. When I got to Kewanee Cemetery I got the goosebumps all over my body; six crows following me around, watching every step I took. After a while, I was more intrigued about the headstones that I even forgot about the crows. I was curious about their lives and how they might of live in a time of war, but even though, none of them inspired me to write about anything, into I got across Edward Tunnicliff headstone.

    Arlington National Cemetery

    Arlington National Cemetery, one of the most visited cemeteries in the United States, contains many interesting features (World Book; Vol.1; pgs.716-717). Some of the features consist of: the National cemetery, the Arlington House, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers, and the Changing of the Guards. The National cemetery covers six hundred and twelve acres for the burial of many honorable people (Kane, Robert S.; pgs.53-54). In amongst the cemetery, Arlington House sits upon a hill. The location of Arlington House becomes the centerpiece of Arlington National Cemetery when the U.S. government purchased the land in 1864 (Scheffel, Richard L.; pgs.162-163). The Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers contains the remains of four veterans from various wars (Kane, Robert S.; pgs.53-54). Trained guards protect and respect the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers day in and day out. The Changing of the Guards, one of the most exciting sites to see in Arlington National Cemetery, can also become the most serious site to see in Arlington National Cemetery. The seriousness of the guards that protect the tomb shows the respect the guards have for the four unknown veterans buried in the tomb.

For some, it is a chance to walk among headstones that chronicle American history; for many, it is an opportunity to remember and honor the nation’s war heroes; and for others, it is a place to say a last farewell during funeral services for a family member or friend (http://www.arlingtoncemetery.org/index.htm.).” While visiting Arlington National Cemetery, individuals will learn numerous historical facts about the National cemetery, the Arlington House, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers, and Changing of the Guards.…

    When assigned as the Director of Long Island National Cemetery (LINC), I came into a facility with an abysmal organizational culture. The Cemetery Staff, Union, and Management were in turmoil. My challenges were to change the negative organizational culture at Cypress Hills National Cemetery (CHNC) and (LINC). I worked to improve management’s relationship with the workforce and union officials to reduce or eliminate the House Veterans Affairs Committee, Congressional, Unfair Labor Practice, and Equal Employment Opportunity complaints. Increases in the response rates for the All Employee Survey (AES) would contribute to the overall understanding of the factors contributing to the poor organizational culture.…

    Nightly Rendezvous At The Cemetery: Chapter Analysis

    Chapter II the Nightly Rendezvous at the Cemetery is an important scene in the novel because it’s the first time Catherine Sedgwick establishes a common ground between the Indians and the Puritans. In the novel, Hope is introduced to readers as a free- spirited, unconventional, and nonconformist character. The traits that Hope possesses in her character sets her apart from other Puritans. Although it may appear that Hope is different, her distraught reaction after hearing that her sister was married to an Indian man proves otherwise. Hope views her sister’s marriage “as if a knife had been plunged in her bosom” (188) this comparison allows readers to understand the pain and disappointment Hope felt towards the news. Sedgwick is also showing…

    Lu Xun Medicine Sparknotes

    In Lu Xun’s Medicine, it tells a story which shapes the bourgeois democratic revolutionary Xia Yu’s personal selfless sacrifice and as a pioneer of the heroic revolutionary image, he reveals the tragedy of the Chinese society due to its people’s ignorance and calls for the urgent need to awaken the people but they have no awareness and even feel hostile towards it. Xun shows that the Chinese society must be freed from the long rule of Confucius and feudal superstition; otherwise there is no hope for the people. Xun successfully creates several marvelous images and symbols, reflecting the central theme while also giving the novel’s connotation and enhancement of artistic atmosphere. The beginning paragraphs of the fourth part depicting the cemetery setting really intrigues me.…

    You ask me to write you something about the death of my uncle so that the account you transmit to posterity is as reliable as possible. I am grateful to you, for I see that his death will be remembered forever if you treat it. He perished in a devastation of the loveliest of lands, in a memorable disaster shared by peoples and cities, but this will be a kind of eternal life for him. Although he wrote a great number of enduring works himself, the imperishable nature of your writings will add a great deal to his survival. Happy are they, in my opinion, to whom it is given either to do something worth writing about, or to write something worth reading; most happy, of course, those who do both. With his own books and yours, my uncle will be counted among the latter. It is therefore with great pleasure that I take up, or rather take upon myself the task you have set me”…

    Looking For Zora

    In her essay Looking for Zora, Alice walker ventures out to Eatonville Florida to find out more about Zora Hurston. Walker masquerades as Zora’s niece and goes around inquiring on what was the cause of Zora’s death, where her grave is currently, and what was she like, alive. Walker argues that the writer’s undignified and unfamiliar resting place is far less important than the memories and influence she has left behind. The main appeal Walker uses is pathos, to evoke empathy in the audience. In a way, it is seems like she has made it a personal quest to get a stone to put on Zora’s grave as a sign of homage for a great author she was.…
