Personal Narrative-Signor And Signora Luciano
“What’s her name again?” Signora Luciano asked. “Bella.” I replied. My cousin Bella was coming to America to earn money and to send back home to her family in Italy. She only speaks a dialect of Italian and so does the tenement owners, so they can communicate in some ways. I am living in the Luciano tenement. The Luciano family includes; Signor and Signora Luciano, Rocco, Serefina, the baby, Nico, and the other borders.
“Can she live here?” I said
“If she pays the rent, then yes. You better warn her, if I don’t get my money when it’s due, then she will have to help make the flowers.” Signora Luciano informed. “Okay” I said as I left the tenement. I needed to find her a job that pays well, because if the doesn’t earn that money she will have to make the flowers. Making the flowers was terrible.

They always look miserable because they are so dirty and tired.

    It was a Wednesday morning that I'll never forget. I had woken up at 3 in the morning because I had to be at a park for a physical fitness test. The test was not until 6 but because I was taking the bus, I had to make sure I was out of bed and out of the house early in the morning. The first few minutes of my commute were peaceful; there was light rain, birds chirping, the insect's low buzzing in the distance. It was just a normal morning. After I had gotten on the 85 bus that goes down Central to Jefferson Park I was a little groggy so I rested up against the heating compartment. The little designated area where you push a button and the heat comes on during the winter months so that commuters are not stuck out in the cold for too…

    The place I grew up in could be considered above average. I had my friends that I would see every day and my family back at home. However, everything that any of us did would be over the top in every way possible. This became especially evident when my family and I would begin to plan a party or travel, this improvement of activities would be known as the “Mexican Way”. To be more specific, my family and I turned a normal New Year’s Eve party into a colorful and explosive fiesta. At first it seemed normal, we bought all the fireworks, started getting all the food ready for the party, and all my cousins and uncles started to arrive at my house; but as soon as it got dark everything started to get out of hand. As the first bottle rockets went…

    In the era of the 1980’s, New York City was going through a calamitous time, as the crack cocaine epidemic unleashed a wave of crime and addiction, and government mismanagement caused near bankruptcy of the city. Due to a decrease of manufacturing in the city, an economic downturn ensued, which in turn caused a shortage of affordable housing, and low levels of public assistance payments, such as welfare. The combination of these elements, caused a rise of family homelessness. The city responded to the crisis by placing the families, in hotels as temporary “housing”. Amongst these families, were Pietro’s. The downfall of his family can be rooted to three major affairs; him losing his job, being placed in The Martinique, and his son’s, Christopher,…

    I was on the train and I overheard these two older ladies having a conversation in Spanish. At the next stop, one of the ladies got off and I took the time to familiarize myself. I learned that her name was Roberta. Luckily, she understood and spoke English, so I explained that it was an assignment for school. She agreed and I began by introducing myself and asking for her name and how she was. She replied that she was good and she asked me and I responded the same way. I asked her about her day and where she was from and she asked me where I was from, how was school, and what class I liked the most. The conversation wasn’t long, but it was longer than I thought it would be. The conversation eventually ended when she had to get off at her…
