Personal Narrative: The New America
The New America
The fake grass was deeply green like usual, the sun continued to shine like it did everyday till 7 o’clock sharp, and as everyone wore their dull white shirts, I thought to myself “why did our society end up so euphoric?” Was I the only one who thought about the world before “The great crisis” or did someone else think the same way as me? It was 5080 and “the great crisis” happened about 300 years ago way before I was born, no one ever speaked of the old America, because it was considered a crime to think of such evil. But tomorrow was every girl in the 10th grades birthday, we were all turning 15, this meant that 10 out of the 43 girls would be picked as interns to the woman elders who society called the wise women. One of

But it was surely not. “I have never seen a house like this ever, every house in the new America was two stories tall with fresh yellow paint on it.” I said in shock. “Well you have a great deal of learning to do my dear, hurry up in get in side, this is where your training will be.” I made myself comfortable in the small house, Liliana had a great collection of books throughout her little cabin. “My job is to mentor you on why the old America was so evil, so sit back and take notes, and if you have questions ask. See in the next year I am up for disposal, so you will be taking over my job. I took notice that you are curious and love to write, so I think you will make a perfect fit for this job.” In my mind I was overly joyed, but nervous at the same time I would finally get the answers to all my question I could never …show more content…
I even fired it once, the bullet went very fast and indeed destroyed all the nature around me. Although it was dangerous, it did help get the anger out. The cabin was lonely and sometimes I wished Aria was here to draw, or sing with me. But she was still upset at the fact she wasn’t picked to intern for anyone, I felt bad, but I had a lot of work to if I was expected to take over Liliana’s job. After two weeks passed Liliana moved on to a new topic, which was something called an electronic, I never heard of that, but it was an interesting word and I instantly became amazed by the idea of the electronic. “Now Emma, cell phones, computers, and tablets, all seem very cool, but they messed up society.” “How, this is the most innovative thing I have ever seen in my whole life!” “Right there you have an iphone invented by Steve Jobs he also created many other thing like the internet, and influenced many people during the old America. The problem with the electronic is no one focused on social or political problems in the old America, and if they did they were just listening to people’s opinions on these devices” said Liliana softly “Well it is still awesome even though they messed with people’s minds and how they think” I said unsurely because I was still so amazed by it in the back of my mind. “Next is that all these electronics caused bullying to other children, through something

    America was once a great country. People looked at this nation as the “land of opportunity,” because of the unlimited potential that could be reached by even the poorest. Now, America has a disreputable notoriety due to its constant mistakes. A continuous list of numerous incidents, hypocrisies, involvements, and self destructive factors have not only negatively shaped the minds of its own people, but also the rest of the world. This nation has created chaos in the Middle East, piled a massive amount of debt, violated its very own constitution and lost its integrity.…

The Queen had been there before, when Jamestown was founded and again in 1957.

    “ Nobody has ever told us about the day when young Ann Story for she was thirty-three at the time her husband died, back in the Connecticut town, weary and waiting for news, watching the road anxiously saw her eldest son, foot-sore, dusty, ragged, his head hanging trudging in on the highway from the north. ” ”When Vermonters telling this story, come to the meeting of mother and son, they stop, swallow hard, and are silent for a moment ”. This initially tone of the story led me to believe that this story was going to be about a sorrow widowed woman, but the author manages to take the tone of the story on a whole new direction, causing me to disregard the initial presage notion I had about the story. As the tone of the story change my perception of who Ann Story was really changed, it showed the extent she was willing to go to carry out what she believed in. “Her sorrow over her husbands death seemed to her a mighty reason for carrying out what they had planned together, to make free landowners and citizens of their children…

    Based on the first day, I loved it and don’t want to go back to the United States for a while. There were prestigious architectures, exciting activities, and many unusual animals. Growing up in India wouldn't be the worst possible life and I wouldn't run out of activities to do for sure. Although, poverty is a big issue nationwide and needs to be brought to the government's attention. Many families are walking the streets, asking other people for money to buy clothes, a house, and provide a life for their children. After the first day life is surely not the same in India as it is in the United States. Some girls in India aren’t thoroughly educated, females aren’t treated the same as males, a caste system is still existing in certain areas,…

    America. Land of the free and home of the brave. A place that be full of individualism and diversity. Even though this is a great nation, there is a few things I would change to make this country even better. America is occupied of people that don’t truly know what is going on in the world, their homeland, even what is going on in their own state. This is a result of news censoring or even changing stories to sway the viewers opinions. Also news are mostly opinions instead of facts, making it so no one will have the full story of the events that are occurring…

I am not allowed to vote yet so I really don’t have to worry about those kind of things but my family does, a lot of people worry about it because it impacts the future of us Americans.…

    Ma’s eyes lighted up and she drew her attention toward Rose of Sharon.
