Personal Narrative: An Interview With Unknown Grandmother
Per Reporter: “Marshall lives with his Unknown Grandmother. Marshall is intellectually disabled. On today, while out seeing my client Marshall, his grandmother became upset because after having a discussion about who should be the overseer of Marshall’s disability check. I stated to her that if she really wants to care for Marshall, it shouldn’t matter whose overseer of his check. Without warning, she suddenly jumped into her car and started backing up with force and an aggressive look on her face. I told Marshall to move to the side and I jumped in my car, backed up and left. I had to drive at high speeds to get away from her because she was chasing me in her car. I later called Marshall to check on him, he admitted that he felt as though

    The Grandmother Who Went Through Lengths to Manipulate Her Family

    The grandmother was doing her best to manipulate Bailey just so she could have her way and does what she wants, she was willing to lie and even make up things that were not true. She goes as far as disrupting Bailey while he is trying to read the newspaper journal. She tells him “here this fellow that calls himself the Misfit is aloose from the Federal Pen and headed toward Florida and you read here what it says he did to these people” (O’Conner, 308). She even told them to take her to Tennessee “You all ought to take them somewhere else for a change so they would see different parts of the world and be broad” (O’Conner, 309). This grandmother has been willing to just have her way at all cost, she even when as far as telling her grandkids about a plantation she worked on as a maiden lady and a man named Edgar Atkins Teagarden who would bring her watermelons everyday with his initials carved in it. This grandmother just does not know when to stop lying and manipulating her family with these imagery stories of a life that she never lived.…

    The Grandmother In A Good Man Is Hard To Find

    In this story, the Grandmother considers herself “the lady” of the family. The Grandmother considers herself having higher standards of other people and frequently passes judgment on others. She is a very talkative, nagging, narcissistic, and manipulative woman that frequently bosses the other family members around. For example, The Grandmother says, “Here this fellow that calls himself The Misfit is aloose from the Federal Pen and headed toward Florida and you read here what it says he did to these people. Just you read it. I wouldn't take my children in any direction with a criminal like that aloose in it. I couldn't answer to my conscience if I did” (O’Connor 436). She also…

    A Good Man Is Hard To Find Literary Analysis

    “I wouldn't take my children in any direction with a criminal like that loose in it. I couldn't answer to my conscience if I did " (O’Connor). The grandmother had this sense of urgency to keep her family safe no matter what, but is this really the case? I think a small side of her is really trying to use this misfit to her advantage to go to Tennessee and not go to Florida. She heard of bad news in the area and did not feel right about having her loved ones go into the area where there was a criminal, so she plays it off as if she is a concerned loving grandmother. She takes advantage of this common idea that mothers are the prime caretakers and fathers do not pay as much attention to safety, as her son kept telling her to stop worrying. “Women were considered domestic caregivers, with sole responsibility for the home and child rearing” (Holt). So, it was just in her nature to care and want what is best for her and her…

    Personal Narrative: My Mother's Legacy

    I’ve been told the impact of a parent’s passing can carry on for years or forever. I was my mother’s primary care giver for two years. In her last four months, along with hospice, I took care of her full time along with maintaining my full time job. She passed in her home surrounded by me and my other two siblings in January. Just three months later my dad, who was not married to my mom, died unexpectedly in his sleep. I am still in the tender times of grief from my mother’s and father’s deaths. Who would think I could fathom writing about such a sorrowful time in addition to writing about the lessons I learned from my mother’s last months and the graceful way she left this earth. I relive this not only because it is kind of…

    Personal Narrative: How My Grandma Changed My Life

    My grandma's condition wasn't anything but hard for me and my family to deal with. Everyday with her was a roller coaster that held many twists and turns and couldn't stay on the track. If you didn't hold on tight, you’d thrown off. You never knew what she would remember each morning that she woke. Some days she would know the date and she was aware of her surroundings, while other days (which weren’t so great), she'd be back in time when her husband was alive and she’d call for him. Then she’d be puzzled as to why he wouldn't call her name back. When my mom would bear her the bad news he has been gone for years, my great grandma turned as silent as a mouse for the remainder of the day, wallowing in her sorrow. Yet, as her memory faded, mine…

    Some nights I dream about Michael. He’s coming home from college for christmas break and he’s brought a girl with him. Our family is sitting at the dinner table and he’s giving my sister’s new boyfriend a hard time. He’s sitting in the audience, whooping and hollering as I walk across the stage and receive my diploma. Other times, he’s standing in a waiting room, introducing my sisters and me to his little girl.

    Personal Narrative: My Mother's Parents

    My mother’s parents would always share stories with us about how their parents came to America from Italy and Germany. They would bring out old photo albums and tell us all about how different life was for them and how they held on to family cooking recipes and every Christmas we make the same dishes that their parents would make. My father’s parents would also share stories about Ireland and my grandpa would talk about what he experienced when he was in the war. Unlike the family I interviewed, I was brought up in a Christian household. Every Sunday the whole family would attend church together and then go out to eat after to talk about what we had learned. We would also pray every night before bed and were always told to give thanks throughout the day for the life we have been blessed with.…
