Personal Narrative: How Greece Connects To My Life
How Greece Connects To My Life.

Hello!! Hey do you hear me? I am trying to ask you if you have you ever been to Greece? My family loves Greek culture and I think you would too. Although my family has not been to Greece before, we still try to keep the Greek heritage in our family's daily life. My family likes object made from Greece, they like the Greek clothing, and the Greek food. The objects there are really important to my family.

The Greece objects they make are really cool and important to my family because they have been passed down from the family for years. My grandma has a bunch of them she likes the little nick nacks you set on the counter, or coffee table. Then soon we will get them and we just keep passing them down. That is like a tradition we have and do. It's fun because you get to see all the cool new things you get

Greek clothing is also important to my family because Greece clothing tell stories from my past like when we got family pictures my baby cousin whore a big silk dress to show what she is from. That meant a lot! Woman usually wear long tight black silk dresses. Men usually wear like a white throw over robes and black long boat cut pants. Kids wear a white dress and a gold scarf, boys wear like kinda what mean where but they were it as a one piece. Kids in Greece like Greek foods a lot and so dose my family.

Greece foods are very important to my family because they help us get through Christmas and all those other holidays, like family gathering my family love our tradition of having Greek foods for dinner. Also we have tried a Greece food called Moussaka it is really popular there. We have always wanted to try a Greek food called Feta & cheeses. It is kinda spicy and really cheesy and it looks good. We have always wanted to try it. The most popular food in Greece is the urban-don Greek

    The Greeks most important values and ideas to their culture is a deeper meaning, rising above, problem-solving, intellectuality. The Greece civilization could have created their own empire, but instead of creating that empire, the Greeks decided it would be a clever idea to fight with one another. The Greeks had struggled with hardship such as external forces that would threaten human life. The internal human choices caused suffering as well with unhappiness.

    Greek civilization, in many ways, was the most advanced population of it's time. The Greeks have created a great stir in modern day values, events, and philosophy, and they were just getting warmed up. The question, "What did the Greeks contribute to modern society", was posed, and I will begin to answer. The Greeks created a vast religious system, filled with heroes, gods, villains, monsters, and more. This has fascinated us, and has even influenced some of our brands of clothing, Nike for example (Nike being the goddess of victory). Speaking of Nike, the Olympic games were held in celebration of her, and was often seen as the main event. She was held in the hand of the statue of Athena during the games, and the olive wreaths were actually…

    In the summer of 2013, I departed from my home in Sioux Falls, South Dakota to go and spend an entire month in Bârlad, Romania. Up until this point I had never left the United States, except for a day trip up to Canada. The distinct zing of annoyance at my mother’s insistent demands for photos tugged at my patience, and internally shuddered as my shoulder brushed against Vladimir’s. He was to fly with me to Romania, attend the archeology camp with me, and then I would return home alone. Turning my gaze up to his face to scowl at him and then glance at my mother, pushing a distinctly fake smile unto my face as she snaps one last photo. The next fifteen hours turned into a sloppy blur of airports, long and cramped flights, and irritation: Vladimir, the perpetual pain in my butt. My animosity towards him is built out of how he treats women, his own assumed self-importance, and teenage anger that just needed a target.…
