Personal Narrative: A Misfit Man
I am riding my silky and smooth haired, brown horse deep in the darkening and snowy woods. My horse and I are on a hunt for troubled fun. A misfit man is surely awaiting my presence. This old man, George, hides and peeks around the skirts of town. Our history started when we met in the woods hunting for food. I had a load of potential dinner already on my back. Old man George had a few but was only hunting for fun. I was nearing the end of my trip, when I spotted two very still jack rabbits. I always had a mission when hunting. I wanted to feed as many as I could. So, there was no way in this world, that those two rabbits would stay alive. I aimed and was ready to release. Focused and skilled, I waited for the kill. Then in the …show more content…
I was led by the smoke cloud to a quaint little cottage. It did not appear to be vacant. As I was approaching the door, I noticed a faint glow in the arched window. I assumed it was candlelight. In the corner of my eye, I sensed movement. A blurry and small outline of a person topped the hill. I decided to go in to the cottage even though the movement still was etched my mind. Once in, I walked through a small sitting circle and felt warmth from the fire burning stove. Into the kitchen was a table with food. A warm and fresh prepared meal was set out for two guests. The table had turkey, peas, green beans, bread and pie. I hadn’t eaten since this morning so I decided to help myself to a plate. As I was about to take a bite of the turkey, the wood door pushed open. This sound startled me to the point of coughing. The blurred figure came through the door. It was the person I saw in field. That person was carrying a basket full of garden vegetables. When the person saw me, she asked me who I was and why I was in her house. I told her about my hunting experience and how I had walked upon the cottage. I let her know about how cold it was and that I needed a little warmth and something to eat. She didn’t feel sorry for me in the least bit. I felt extremely bad because she had made this meal for her husband and children. I gave her my regards and lots for rabbits to enjoy. I left on my horse

    My insider/outsider partner was Alicia Garcia. As you can tell by her last name she is Hispanic. I don’t have many Hispanic friends and I am not use to their culture. Starting on the project Alicia told me a little a bit about her heritage. One of the things I asked her was, “Do you celebrate the day of the dead?” I know that might seem like a crazy question to ask, but I the only thing that I truly knew about her culture is what I seen on TV. Alicia said that they do celebrate it to some extent. They don’t actually go to a grave site and light candles for their fallen relatives, but instead have a feast in honor of them. Alicia is the first generation American Hispanic.…

    Have you ever wondered where you would be if you would have chosen another path? Have you ever wondered how that choice could have changed your life if you would have made it? Often I look back and think about my past and look at the places I have been and the things I have done. Some things I’m not proud of. Some of those things bring back vague memories. Whether they are good or bad they still come back to me. Everything we do is based upon choices. After we make those choices there comes consequences. We can never decide our consequences, they just come.…

    It was impossible, there was no sword in the rock, nothing. I instantly knew just who had it. Back at the tourney, I decided on confronting the child and the knight that had the blade. But the sword was now just a normal blade exactly like mine. Was I insane? No, I knew what I had seen. I knew there was a ornate golden blade. I scanned the surrounding area searching for a sign of where the golden blade and the knight where. Finally I decided to just go down and run between the tents that held armour and weapons for the soldiers, and then finally the actual tourney. I then noticed the child returning looking prouder than ever. I confronted him trying to look like a stalwart knight. But I´d say I looked more like a coward, so he just ignored…

    I particularly admire May because of how humble she is towards everyone and also the animal life as well as insects. Even though she sometimes has breakdowns she always is helping others. She has lost a lot with her twin sister's death and Zach going to jail. She is similar to me because we both have been through things that have put us into a depressed state of mind and are also sensitive to what others say to us. To help cope better with our feelings we have done many things to try and help, May built a wall to put her feelings on a note and puts it onto the wall which she calls it her wailing wall, I have done stuff similar like writing my feelings into a book that is hidden under my bed. She sings herself a song when she is upset, as for…
