“I is for India‚ Our land in the East‚ Where everyone goes To shoot tigers and feast.” (Ames 278) John Beames’ “Civilian Memoirs” gives a slight reference of what Ames was trying to convey‚ being that he was in Indian during that time‚ and that piece was just about his day to day life‚ more so touching on why India was ‘the preferred place to live in’. The piece was more based on the work environment as to Beames and his comrade George Faulkner chose to move to India for the same reason‚ less government

Flowing from Virginia Woolf’s poem “Memoirs of Being” is a beautiful piece of her childhood. This picture that has been created‚ is one that is filled with imagery‚ anaphora‚ and is an allusion to a time when her cares were not burdened in the way that they would become later in the poem. We can see that the piece is a picture of a time of youth. One that is not yet marred with the understanding of consequences. And a joy can be seen from start to finish‚ but her understanding of that joy experienced

I watched a movie about a college girl gave birth. The film was really interesting. It gives a lot of moral lessons especially to the college girls like us‚ those who have no idea what it’s like being a teenage mom and yet willing to take the risk. The film is very powerful‚ to think that it was based on true story. The main character in the story who pretended to be pregnant for her project‚ was smart and brave enough to think of something really interesting and then do it. Based on the movie‚ pretending

As I hear my mom coming down the hall at 5:30 in the morning making sure everybody was awake. I immediately jumped up out of bed because I haven’t slept a wink all night. The reason for this is because I was so excited and nervous to get to the airport and take my first flight in my life to Florida. Where a huge boat named “The Mistress of the Sea” was waiting on us to board it and go on a 3 day adventure. We got to the airport about an hour before the flight left so we could check our bags in

My memoir will be about something I rarely ever talk about much less let my feeling about it show through. I am going to writ about the time that someone tried to physically hurt me while I was working out. I work out in the weight room of the school I work at. I was in there one day‚ alone‚ when someone began to bang on the doors that thankfully were shut. He threatened all kinds of bodily harm to me while beating on the doors with a concrete trail and metal pole. He was not there in a

Eating it when it first comes out of the oven is an extraordinary experience. The steam rises‚ omitting a delightful aroma that will make any mouth water. The gooey pools of cinnamon and brown sugar juxtapose mountains of crusty goodness; sit atop a moist‚ firm cake. Sliding a knife through the warm cake in order to retrieve a piece from the center; which is the most delectable part; promotes anticipation for the moment when the cinnamon‚ brown sugar and cake‚ can touch the lips. Placing a piece

Memoir Coming into high school ready to have the time of my life was a little over rated. I was 14 turning 15 and was not interested in much and now needing to have an answer to those inevitable questions What college are you going too? or What career are you planning to pursue? All of these questions put an immense weight in my shoulders and the only thing on my mind back then was whether or not I will be able to afford the latest Call Of Duty title. Up to that point I had not thought of what I
