Personal Narrative-A Day In Victorian England
It is a normal day in Victorian England, I and my family wake up, and do what we usually do, go to work. Once I got to work, my boss assigned me to a new chimney. It was a normal day of cleaning, until I spot a girl out of the corner of my eye. I get lowered down to the bottom, and I introduce myself. After we both introduce ourselves, I find out her name is Kate, Kate Dickens, the third child of Charles Dickens. I was shocked, I was standing in front of Charles Dickens daughter. I tell her I have to go, I would’ve stayed longer, but I had to get back to work.

Once I get home home from work, I immediately start thinking of her beautiful brown hair, and her dazzling brown eyes. Then I remember I still have on my work clothes, I only have two pairs of clothes, work ones and my ones for anything else. Then my mother and father got home from work, my mother works at a factory, and my father works in the mines. We eat a little supper, like we usually do, because my

They were so happy for me, they told me to go clean up, so I did. While I was combing my hair in the mirrior, I was thinking, what about if her family doesn’t like me, especially her father, which is Charles Dickens. It's 6:00, and I comb my hair one last time, and tell my parents i’m leaving. On the way to her house, I tell myself that everything is going to be fine, and I start singing my favorite song again. I finally reach her door step, and ring the doorbell. She answers the door, and she looks as beautiful as ever. She tells me to come in, and before we ate we talked for a bit. I told her a little bit about me, like how I have been a chimney sweep since I was five years old. I tell her this is my last year as a chimney sweep, because i’m getting to old. Then she tells me about herself, like how she has nine sibling, but one of them died when she was only one year old. We finished up talking, and went to the dinner table to

    That is amazing! I can honestly say a fish tank was not of high worry for me when it comes to things being hacked. I, like most people, think of my cellphone, tablet, and computer, of being hacked compared to my appliances (which non of them are smart so I am hopefully safe there). It's amazing how someone in another state or even country can access almost everything I own. A gentleman named Thomas Hatley, was awoken one morning by someone stating, "I can see all of the devices in your home and I think I can control them” (Hill, 2013). This stranger proceeded to prove to Thomas what she could do by turning his lights on and off. This man seemed astounded by the possibilities. It's amazing to me that some individuals still don't understand the…

    That stupid Phyllis Lopez, who is even dumber than Sylvia Saldivar, says she remembers the sweater is hers! I take it off right away and give it to her, only Mrs.Price pretends everything is okay. That’s when I look at Mrs.Price and she completely ignores me. That made me want to cry again but this time I wanted to cry as if i was two and i lost my mom in the mall. Waiting for the bell to ring I hear Phyllis say,” Wow this sweater does smell terrible.” I noticed that Mrs.Price was standing close to her. It was almost like Phyllis wanted her to her it, just like she was trying to stick up for me. I was astonished that she did that but what i wanted to know is why she was never really nice to me before, maybe because it was my birthday.…

    This past month of July has been a handful! The summer of 1863 is definitely a time I will remember for the rest of my life! Yesterday, my siblings, my mother, and I fled away from Manhattan while father stayed back and secured our home and salvaged whatever he could. Many things in our house were wrecked and damaged from the violent draft rioters. Perhaps it was because only white men were drafted. If anything, I believe that they shouldn’t be taking all of their anger out on us black folks. It's not our fault! This was one of the worst rioters the country ever saw! Today, we arrived into Providence, Rhode Island with only our garments on. But, we weren't the only blacks that left. Thousands of blacks quit New York and left! Some folks even…

    Although there is much I can’t recall from my early days of reading, there are some momentous flashbacks. When I was beginning elementary school my parents were very eager to introduce me to doing a great deal of reading, they wanted me to enjoy reading for a while and they succeeded. We lived within walking distance of the public library which allowed us to frequently visit the library to read and check out books. I always remembered the vast shelves of books that seemed like they never had an end. In addition to reading at the library we checked books out to bring home to read, this allowed me to read as much as I wanted to. Correspondent to the amount of reading I did, the more I enjoyed it and improved at reading.…

    Today was the day. The big day. My election for Lieutenant Governor of Division 2B for Key Club, an international service club, was today. Fear and anxiety pricked my skin in rapid movements emanating from every pore. I rehearsed my speech for the fifth time that day. Upon arrival at the Fairfax Library, I urged myself to remain calm. I quickly scouted out the other girls who were present; one girl was dressed professionally with a folder in her hand. I knew that was my competition. The girl spoke eloquently and genially, she radiated enthusiasm and a certain warmth that I did not have. With every question that was asked, she answered with a smooth smile and high-pitched tone that was dripping with sincerity. I bristled inside; I had just been slapped. I was shrouded in a cloud of anxiety and anxiousness. Suddenly, I was dragged from my reverie.…

    I took the old hose that we kept coiled up in the shed and attached it to the sputtering water faucet. As the water sprayed over your little body the mud ran down your legs and revealed your your velvety soft baby yellow fur. We walked the trails trails in the backyard exploring till the sun went down later that night. I wanted you to know every little thing and section about your forever home. You laid down as you consumed all of your dinner in less than 60 seconds. As though you had never seen food before Even though you had just eaten that morning. You stayed in the living room hiding with your whole body under the couch except for your little whiskered nose poking out as my family and I ate our dinners. I threw you little popcorns even though I wasn’t supposed to when my family and I were all in the living room watching scooby doo marathons. The TV was turned off and everybody headed off to bed. I laid with you as you fell into a deep slumber. Rubbing your velvety soft ears and telling you stories of your forever home. You whimpered and kicked as you slept. Dreaming puppy dreams. You were the highlight of my last few weeks of summer. My bundle of joy that I knew would always be there to listen to all my secrets and would never tell.…

    I headed to my first class which just so happened to be my favorite subject, English. The hallways were very wide but when filled with students I felt like I had to shove my way through just to get to my locker. The lockers were a mixture between Gray and purple. The school colors were supposed to be purple and silver but there was no way that these lockers could be considered. I took a look at the little piece of paper that the lady in the office had given me and tried out the combination on my locker. It took me about five minutes to open it and after struggling for that long I was a little irritated so when it did open, it flew open and slammed into the locker next to mine. I held my breath and hoped that nobody had noticed. I took a long deep breath and slowly opened my eyes again. Luckily I was still standing alone and nobody around was looking at me. I put my extra books and notebooks into the locker and and closed it as quietly as I could.…

    Ever since I was born, I was a military brat. Not knowing where to call home, or if any place could be home, I moved. I moved six times, four of those places were towns that nobody could think about. Germany, North Carolina, Alaska, North Carolina, Germany, and Alaska, yet no place to call home. May 22, 1999, my first day on this world; Kronach hospital had its first American baby in their hands, yet they acted like I was a different species. The only event I remember was when I was about one. While I was one, I grabbed everything in my reach, even a grill handle. As a baby, I did not know that the handle was moving, the grill top had smashed my thumb. Ever since that event, I now have a starfish mark on the side of my right thumb from where the stiches were.…

    In the case that time travel was a realistic and safe mode of transportation, the person whom I would visit would be Queen Elizabeth I. The trials that she faced were unbearable, yet she survived. Growing up, reading the story of her lifetime was an inspiration and seemed unreal. By reading a group of books covering the Tudor monarchy, I learned of Queen Elizabeth and a time period roughly 600 years ago. The books came as a trilogy, following the lives of her mother, Anne Boleyn, her half-sister Mary and of herself. Each of the women had wonderfully defined personalities, however my favorite character is Elizabeth. For her charm and strong will moreover her strategic management of her affairs at court.…

    That night I was shown to the prettiest woman in the world. She reached in the box and began to lift me up. Her skin was so soft and warm. I knew then that this was the one. This would be the person who would love and cherish me forever. As she lifted me all the way off the velvet, she unfastened the lock and had begun to put me around her neck. I closed my eyes scared what would come. All of a sudden there was silence. I opened my eyes to see myself draped around the breast in my dreams. I had never felt so complete, or been so happy in my life.…
