    Personal Narrative: Moving From Tennessee To Nebraska

    Did you know I recently moved from Tennessee to Nebraska? When I moved to Nebraska, everyone told me how flat Nebraska was, how it was full of fields.

    Personal Narrative: Moving To NC

    Before I moved to NC , I lived out west. The demographic and food delicacies are far different than here in the south. My taste aversion was fully loaded hot dog with chili and slaw. I never heard of that type of combination on a hot dog. I was raised eating a hot dog with just ketchup, mustard, relish and sometimes onions. I have lived in NC for about 23 years. I finally tried eating a hot dog Carolina style and love it. Since I have gluten allergy, I skip the bun and still eat it that way.…

    Personal Narrative: Moving To Kansas

    This happened when I first moved to Kansas. It was the middle of summer and there were no kids around close to my age so I was alone. First i named some roses that were in my front lawn and drew pictures with them of crappy looking rabbits because that was all I knew how to draw. my mom came home one day and I ran up to her and showed her the pictures, saying "And this one rosy drew, and this one Rosetta drew and this one I drew." when I was done my mom said clearly not understanding that they were not real "what house do your friends live in?" Like the dumb kid i was i responded "oh they don't have a house they live in our front yard." Extremely confused and probably creeped out my moms said "can i meet these friends?" It was then I told…

    This is a brief essay entitled Tennessee's Partner that delves into the charcters that are portrayed by Bret Harte in his short story Tennessee's Parter.

    Harte makes good use of dialogue to emphasize the crude, rough, and uneducated characteristics of the men of Sandy Bar, particularly Tennessee's partner. However, the dialogue alone is not the only portrayal of their crudeness. At the beginning of the story, Harte tells of the townspeople's crude manner of giving newcomers new names--those names often being offensive to the newcomers. Harte tells us that Tennessee is known to the townspeople to be an obsessive gambler, a fact the reader knows to be true by Tennessee's excessive use of gambling terms and situations in his everyday speech, and a thief. Tennessee also runs off with his partner's wife. Later in the story, Tennessee's partner's lack of education and common sense is reflected in his inability to comprehend the judge's refusal of his bribe. However, despite these crude qualities, the townspeople of Sandy Bar, including Tennessee's partner, had several finer qualities. Most of the finer qualities are revealed towards the end of the story; however, one of Tennessee's partner's finer qualities is revealed throughout the entire story: his complete devotion and loyalty to Tennessee. His loyalty is most evident when he welcomes Tennessee back with open arms after Tennessee had run off with his wife, and when he attempts to save Tennessee from the noose by attempting to bribe the judge. At the end of the story, Tennessee's partner is portrayed as a loyal friend whose self-reliance causes him to refuse any help in removing and burying the body of his partner. Harte also portrays the townspeople as being quite sympathetic and kind as they accompany Tennessee's partner to the burial site. Harte also tells of their attempts at kindness in the time following Tennessee's death and burial. I believe these qualities surfaced due to Harte's apparent love for the West. His story reflects his views that although the men of western towns were often crude and uneducated, most of them were capable of loyalty and kindness when…

    Personal Narrative: Moving To Wisconsin

    Moving to northern Wisconsin as a young girl was a scary and confusing time. Having been born in Chicago, all I knew was a big city, the crowds of people, the nonstop traffic and all the noises. My home, it was the only place I knew. How could my parents make a decision like this? How could they make me move to a place I had only visited once before -- but barely remembered? The sadness I felt was so overwhelming during that transition that I told myself that if I ever had a family, I would never make them move. As an adult, many years later, I look back and almost chuckle. My family and I have moved many times, for work or family and even adventure. Now as an adult, I push my children to find adventure in every move…

    The store owner smiled and whistled and out of the kennel came Lady, who ran down the aisle of his store followed by five teeny, tiny balls of fur. One puppy was lagging considerably behind. Immediately the little boy singled out the lagging, limping puppy and said, “What’s wrong with that little dog?” The store owner explained that the veterinarian had examined the little puppy and had discovered it didn’t have a hip socket. It would always limp. It would always be lame. The little boy became excited. “That is the little puppy that I want to buy.” The store owner said, “No, you don’t want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I’ll just give him to you.”…
