Personal Narrative: Plowing With Dad
Plowing With Dad!!!
It was early one morning, far before anybody was awake. The wind was starting to pick up, and it was also snowing with 3-inches already on the ground. That made it worse because it was causing snow drifts. Dad and I got in the very cold truck, (we didn’t wait for it to warm up) and were ready to go. As we were leaving, we plowed the driveway just to be safe, and to make sure my mom could get out later. We went to the shop to get the 4500. Of course the one we were going to take only has 2,000 R.P.M. and that is bad because it doesn’t go over a certain speed limit. So we got in the other 4500 and headed off to Port Huron. We plowed a lot of accounts and threw a lot of salt, just to be safe. We were halfway done

    I waited out in the cold and snow for what seemed like forever. I eventually saw our car pull up to the park. I saw my dad and my brother get out of the car and hurry towards me.

Once inside our house, I hopped over to the couch, and laid down.…

I feel really good with my stepdad, and my mom is happy. My biological dad to me, it just the memories from the past that I hate. I would like to forget about the past memories and it would be easy for me to become a different person. He is the one that I will not ask any help and any supports…

    I was coming home from school after looking forward to petting my dogs and then putting my football stuff on for practice. The wind was picking up, and a cloud had briefly blocked the direct sun. I had gotten to my house and seen my mom in a lawn chair drinking water in the backyard, which was unusual as she was still typically at work. I walked into the backyard and said hi when she said " Joe, Wade is dying."…

    Living in West Virginia, one has ridden in a pick-up truck at least once. If it was in the front seat or the back, especially when you’re six foot three with your knees in your chest. Or when everyone hopped in the bed, you knew it was going to be a good time. Growing up my father had two trucks that I can remember, both of them I loved to ride in. The first one was the definition of a work truck, and it broke down everywhere. The other one was a very nice family truck that he loved, and so did I considering it was the first vehicle I ever drove. I currently drive a truck as my daily driver, and considering my history, I want to test if there is a better truck out there than mine. So I will be testing: suspension, carrying, handling, and gas…

    As I glide across the snow feeling the cool crisp wind running through my coat. My dad and I always go up north once a year to go snowmobiling. Preparing for our snowmobile trip took forever. We always over packed and brought everything from sleeping bags, food, clothing, and gas for ourselves and snowmobiles, but when we were finished we hit the road. My dad drove in one truck with the snowmobiles and I drove in another truck hauling our camper for the three hour drive. That year was going to be different I knew it; we got more snow than we had in over 5 years.…

    Throughout The Road by Cormac McCarthy, the man protects and guides the boy during their trudge to the south. However, in the story, they act more as companions than father and son, and the man treats the boy as an equal both in action and dialogue. Chased by cannibals, the boy he man seeks to defend the boy from both the cannibals and scavenge food for them to survive. As the man and boy trek down the road, cannibals closely hunt them and they often escape by hiding or by retreating away. The man often plunders empty houses, trying to find food and clothes for them. The man is successful, finding “crate upon create of canned goods” (McCarthy 138). “Tomatoes, peaches, beans, apricots, canned ham, corned beef”, etc. (McCarthy 138) provides the food the man and the boy eats. The man carries a pistol with him used to shield them from cannibals. Before the man dies, he gives the boy the pistol, telling him to “keep the gun with you at all times. You need to find the good guys but you cant take any chances.” (McCarthy 278). As mentioned before, the man and boy communicate more as friends than relatives.. At the beginning of The Road, when the man first woke “he’d reach out to touch the child sleeping beside him” to confirm the child’s well-being. The man will “read me [the boy] a story” (McCarthy 7) and “held the boy close to him” (McCarthy 29). The boy demonstrates great maturity as he cares for the man by reminding him to “pour the hot water back […] and pour some of the cocoa into his own” (McCarthy 34) and constantly reminding the man to take heed of his health. Eventually, after the man dies, he was “wrapped in a blanket…” (McCarthy 286) and the boy “sat beside him and he [the…

    I was a child, an innocent boy who accepted the fact that Santa was greedy, and was not going to leave one single cookie, not one. Along with that innocent realization, came the understanding that hospital visits were not uncommon, but in fact, a regular occurrence. As a child, the hospital environment seemed so artificial to me. Machines, wires and tubes stationed at every corner, made me think then, that no person should have to succumb to such a synthetic life. Especially if that person was my father.…
