Personal Narrative: Relating To Tom's Adventures
I relate to this story very well. I am sort of like Tom where I like to go out and have fun, but somehow get in trouble. I don’t know if I would go and steal gold coins, although it might be enjoyable. I think it would be fun going out with friends and stirring up trouble. It would also be great if I could get someone to do my chores and work for me. Tom seems like he has so much fun on his adventures, even though he does some things he is not supposed to do. Tom and I are sort of alike, we both hate school just want to sit outside or go on adventures. I also would like to live back in his day, no TV, internet, not even a phone your entertainment is going around the town. Back in those days you would have no fear of robbers or even murders,

    Huck Finn

    Tom represents a part of the southern society because he is a wild, free from authority, and uneducated with absurd ideas. “Now, we’ll start this band of robbers and call it Tom Sawyer’s Gang. Everybody that wants to join has got to take an oath, and write his name in blood.” (Tom 19) Tom’s gang is with the boys from his neighborhood, like his friend Huck. Tom is the leader of the clan and they listen to his commands. His gang shows Tom’s crazy ideas and his wildness. Tom’s free will to do whatever he wants is the cause of his outspoken abruptness. “Ben, I’d like to, honest injun; but Aunt Polly well, Jim wanted to do it, but she wouldn’t let him; Sid wanted to do it and she wouldn’t let Sid. Now don’t you see how I’m fixed? If you was to tackle this fence and anything was to happen to it-“Oh, shucks, I’ll be just as careful. Now lemme try.” (Tom 106) Tom is a fearless young boy and isn’t smart enough to realize the consequences of how damaging other people’s property is against the law. Tom has a careless attitude towards life and it will come back to bite him one day. Once he grows up and realizes he’s making a wrong choice about fixing the fence, he will know that trespassing is wrong. Tom is careless, and his lack of education causes him to be…

    Personal Narrative: My Hero's Journey '

    Throughout our lives, we all go through a fairly similar story where we start off making our own ordinary world full of predictability and comfort, that we all eventually get taken or drawn away from. Many will attempt to refuse this call to adventure, and many others will have no choice and get tossed into an unknown, difficult world. In this new world, we’ll have to go through at least one supreme ordeal, if not much more, being hindered by our own demons and by the demons of others, and getting help from allies. We'll go through various tests and learn crucial lessons from all of the mistakes we'll make along the way. This story we go through is professionally referred to as the Hero's Journey and my older brother, Preston, is a terrific…

    Personal Narrative

    As I was writing my personal narrative for my composition 1 class, it easily made my mind boggle. After I had got started on my personal narrative, it was easy for me to keep writing and keep following along the story line. The main strength of mine that the essay played to was my creativity and my flexibility for different writings, because I have never written an essay as serious and sad as this one, but I did have to add my happy ending when I finished the story. I wanted it to be very attention grabbing with a twist, but I also wanted it to be very emotional.…
