The closest story that I would base myself off of would be the Translating Grampa's House. I mostly chose it because I draw just like the main character in the story. While I read the story Translating Grampa's House I thought of why I chose it. Also how I would write the essay. Another reason I chose Translating Grampa's House as my story is that we have teachers just like the main character in the story. Mostly how all schools have teachers. Also how all schools have classes that have teachers. Without teachers, there would be no classes.The other reason why I chose Translating Grampa's House is that how the main character has art classes at his school. I also have an art class at my school. Most schools have art

    The essay I choose to write about was Maya Angelou’s “Sister Flowers”. I believe that the purpose of this essay was to describe an important part of this person’s life that helped them to become a better writer/poet/reader and also describe what I think to be this persons mentor. This essay talks about how Mrs. Bertha Flowers decides to take Marguerite Henderson home with her to give her good books to read and to read her an excerpt form a book. I think it is a very well written and extremely descriptive essay, it makes you feel like you are there with them listening to the pages turning and almost taste the tea cookie or smell the vanilla from Mrs. Flower’s home.…

    The essay “Calling Home”, written by Jean Brandt was about her experience as a child on a supposedly happy day at the mall, which turned sour because she stole a 75-cent snoopy button, followed by the nerve wrecking situations she had to face. I learned that she wrote really well and explained her story in extreme detail. Everything transitioned well with each other and had a very smooth flow to it. It was also very easy to understand what she was facing because she stated her emotions in each event clearly. She wrote until the extent you feel as if you are in her shoes, a thirteen-year-old girl during that time.…

    There are many similarities as well as many differences in narrative and descriptive essays. A narrative essay many times reflects some type of personal experience. The narrative essay also tells a story and it has an intriguing way to keep the audience wanting to know more. The descriptive essay on the other hand usually just describes a person, a scene, or feelings to a reader (Connell, C., & Sole, K.) (2013). Descriptive essays can be very helpful but may sometimes take a while to grasp the audience’s full attention. Narrative essays seemingly appear easier to follow and understand in most cases than descriptive essays. In this compare-contrast…

    I devoured a big delicious breakfast, my brother finally took a quick shower and no major assignment was pending. I even caught the bus on time without having to break into a sprint and found out I got an A on my math test. Everything was going good, almost too good to be true. Then life fell in to oblivion as I watched my English teacher writing the words “Narrative Essay” in the homework corner of the black board. My hope faded. Somehow I was in amazement, and not amazed in a positive manor. I mean it is a collage English class, essays where bound to appear in that corner of the board eventually. I just wasn’t expecting it to happen on such a perfect day. The fact my professor didn’t give us a subject aggravated me, at least with a subject I can have something to focus on. I went through the rest of the day perplexed thinking about what I would write it…

    Writing a gripping and effective college essay is vital to most high school seniors that are applying to college. A college essay is a personal narrative that is read by college admission officers so that a college can get a better sense at who applicants are as a person. College essays are essential to setting applicants apart, so choosing an interesting a well-developed subject is key. In my experience, finding the narrative that I wanted to share was quite simple. I knew that the experience that taught me the most in my life was living with my ill grandfather and dealing with assimilation into my nuclear family. As well, during the time that I was writing my first draft, all my issues and the lessons that I was learning from them were still quite fresh. So, in a sense, it was easier to write since I knew exactly how I felt about it all…
