Personal Narrative: The Trouble With Grandma
Shortly afterward, two police officers arrived, entering the house they walked from room to room without saying a word while waiting for the coroner to arrive.
Finally, one of the paramedics said, “We need to talk about your mother’s health so I can finish my report.”
“Mom broke her hip about ten weeks ago and had been doing okay,” he said. “In fact, my little nephew, Billy spent the day with her yesterday.”
“How old is Billy? Does he live here?” The paramedic asked.
“He’s seven years old and has lived with my family since my sister and her husband divorced about five years ago. He loves doing things with Grandma.”
“What medication did she take?”

    Eli gave his mother an incredulous look. First of all he was the one who had wanted to walk this morning, not her. Second of all they were all adults at this table. She discreetly stamped on his foot, digging the heel in until he leapt up with a short gasp of pain. Victoria gracefully glided to stand next to him and slipped her arm through his. He escorted her to the garden with great annoyance (an emotion he seemed to feel most around his impossible family) and they walked in silence for a short while before someone spoke.…

So the fact is “The grandmother’s whole personality is built upon the fictions she tells herself and her family” (Schenck, 340). “She creates the stories behind the visual phenomena she sees and explains the relationships between events or her own actions which have no logic other than that which she lends them” (Schenck, 340).

    Language has played a big role in making my life successful. As senior year was ending I had a major life changing decision. I was unsure whether to pursue my passion of baseball in California, or to hang up my cleats for the last time on a high note. Although this was not a life or death decision, It was still a decision that was still near and dear to my heart. After going to several people for help and many sleepless nights, I still felt helpless. I finally came to the conclusion after hearing "The Babe" in the movie Sandlot tell Benny Rodriguez, "Everybody gets one chance to do something great. Most people never take the chance, either because they're too scared, or they don't recognize it when it spits on their shoes." that’s when I decide…

The way she maneuvered her hands as she glided the hair between each finger, overlapping each strand of hair onto the next, was so delicate and precise. The finished braid dangled down her back, reaching all the way to her waistline, it reminisced that of a princess, from the storybooks I had seen. I knew only after moments of watching her, this was something I had to accomplish; easier said than done.…
