Autobiography
Paul Fabre – S01643304
Autobiography
My name is Paul Jeffery Fabre’, I was born on October 12th, 1992, in Hammond, Louisiana. I currently live in Watson, Louisiana, and have resided here for my entire life. I live with my mother and father, Paul and Gloria, but I grew up living with my two older brothers, Brandon and Reid. I attended Live Oak High School, which is also located in Watson. Currently, I am a sophomore at Southern University. I am a very out-going, down to earth, honest person. My morals and values can be traced back to my parents, who taught me to be the person I am today. I was raised in the Christian faith, where God is the most important aspect of life. I was taught never to steal, cheat, or lie, but instead give the shirt off of my back to help anyone in need. Also, I was taught that everyone was created equal, and no one person is better than another. My parents taught me to have pride, but to be humble, and to treat everyone with respect, as I would want to be treated by them. I believe that true happiness is not found in materialistic items, but instead from within. I obtain happiness by surrounding myself with people who share the same outlook as me on life. Instead of bringing harm or pain to others, I focus on uplifting the spirits of others, and helping them to be the best they can be. I have many good friends, some of who I have not kept in close touch with, but the type of friends who will love you for who you are, and not what you have, or what you can do for them. Since I could walk, my favorite passion has been in baseball. I grew up playing on many teams at once, traveling back and forth to baseball tournaments, and strenuous hours of practicing. It has been my dream since I was a little boy to play ball at the major league level. I hope to play college baseball at Southern University, as I believe my hard work in life in this sport will pay off, and I will be able to play at the collegiate level. I have made many mistakes in the

    My father’s parents were born in a small village in the Peloponnese. They were kind and humble people that eventually made their way to Athens. My mother’s parents were born in Kafkaso, a town in Minor Asia, which at that time belonged to Greece. With the war of 1921, the Turks forced my mother’s parents to flee to Athens. They were wealthy and proud, as were many Pontian Greeks at that time. Both of my parents were born in Athens in the fifties. My mother left Athens in 1969, America bound and my father followed soon after.…

    Autobiography, as we have know it, is finished, closed, over, dead, expired, deceased, gone to its reward, kaput. Apart from the fun of imitating the Monty Python skit on the dead parrot, why do I say so? I would not be standing here now had I not read with surprise the following extraordinary announcement in the Call for Papers for this conference: “But in the same year as the publication of Lejeune’s Le Pacte Autobiographique (1975), Roland Barthes published Roland Barthes par Roland Barthes which signaled the end of the classical Enlightenment subject of autobiography and the beginning of a radical autobiographical practice.”1 Prospective submitters to the conference were invited to view 1975 as a watershed year in which the genre of autobiography was codified by Lejeune, whose analysis arguably remains an important touchstone in all discussions of the genre, at the same moment that Barthes was, so to speak, deconstructing Lejeune by writing an autobiography that, in not being a straightforward retrospective prose narrative, refused to display one of the genre’s supposed characteristics. Barthes’ book does, nonetheless, adhere to another of Lejeune’s criteria for autobiography, the identity of the narrator with the name on the title page; that identity mars the perfect opposition of Lejeune and Barthes we were invited to consider. Barthes was playing a game defined by Lejeune, whether or not Barthes knew that as he was writing Lejeune was laying down the rules of that game. In his title, however, Barthes plays with Lejeune’s requirement of identity between author, narrator, and protagonist in suggesting that his book is a biography written by its subject: One does not expect autobiographies to be titled with the autobiographer’s name, but we are not surprised when biographies are titled with the subject’s name.…

    In Something Like an Autobiography and “Homeless: The Kids of Orange County” there are two major organizing parts that are present throughout the Autobiography and Documentary. In this essay, I’m going to analyze the organizing parts and how each part effectively relates to the central subject of the entire text. I’m also going to focus on how each organizing part is structurally coordinated with each other throughout the Autobiography and Documentary; this helps to reinforce the underlying concepts of each text as a whole.…

    When I first saw in the syllabus the type of paper we would be writing for this course I thought about what culture means to me. What was the culture of my family? Where did we come from? How did we end up in Virginia? How did we end up believing some of the things we believe? To me culture was basically how I was raised—my behaviors, beliefs, values, and ideas cultivated during my youth and its evolvement as I grew into an adult. This truly was to be a very interesting and involved quest for information. Though I attempted to use websites such as www.genealogy.com and www.ancestry.com, I found most of the information from a couple of the adults in my family. Adults? I, too, am an adult, but in my family, age comes before everything; and because I am younger, I am treated as such and am expected to behave a certain manner towards the elders in my family. So begins the learning of the nature of my familial circle!…

    Sir Frances Bacon said, “If a man be gracious to strangers, it shows that he is a citizen of the world, and his heart is no island cut off from other islands, but a continent that joins them,” (Jenkins, 1994). This quote represents all the core values that I cherish and to which I adhere. Personal culture doesn’t have to be linked to a certain country of origin or a specific ethnicity; it can be as simple as a person’s core values. The Southern way of life is a culture all in itself.…

    Thinking about college and your future career can be very overwhelming at the beginning. There’s so much to consider when it comes to getting ready for college: where to go and what to study. I’ve heard it said that sometimes a student will enter college fully aware of what they want to do in life, and doggedly reach their undergraduate goal after four years of diligent study.…

    It was a warm Indian summer autumn day in Joliet IL at Silver Cross Hospital on October 9, 1979. I was born to William A. Atkinson and Diane Larkins. The Larkins’ are wealthy land owners and the Atkinson’s are creative artists. After much debate about the newborn beautiful baby girl, two names were thought of. The Atkinson’s prefer OctaEvia Octavious , but the Larkins’ want Christal Lorraine Larkins as my name. End result I am named Christal Lorraine OctaEvia Octavious Larkins. Ridiculous right, both my parents settle on a nick name of TAE short for OctaEvia.…

    MOST of the slaves who were imported into the American colonies, and into the United States before 1808, were brought from that part of the African coast which lies east of Cape Palmas, or still further south, but a considerable number came from the regions of the Gambia and Senegal rivers. These were mostly Mandingos, but partly Fulas. The Fulas are not precisely negroes, but seem to be a mixture of negro and Berber stock, and have long been devout Mohammedans. Among them, as among the Mandingos, education, to the point of reading the Koran and writing, was not infrequent. 1…

    My name is Hanan Hassan, and I was born in September 21, 1992 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I am the eldest of nine children that consist of four girls including me and five boys. To most people I am an ordinary twenty- one year old who works and goes to school, but what most people don’t know is that I’m basically the second mother of my household. Even though my mother is alive and well, I was taught at a young age to take responsibility and to be responsible like an adult. Not only do I take care of my siblings, but I cook and clean and do everything my mother does, because I was raised to do those things easily without complain. Anyone who isn’t part of my family/friends would look at my life and think I have no freedom. But the way I was raised taught me to be an adult, yet act my age.…

    It was as if I had won the World Series. Next I would be touring the country, signing autographs, and riding on floats in city parades. Everywhere I’d go, locals would triumphantly hoist me atop their shoulders as I would wave to the adoring fans. I believed this all to be true. I was on top of the world, and a member of the red Aces, the winning team of the Ridgway, IL, tee-ball tournament. At five years of age, this was no small feat. It was the most significant event of my dear little life. I felt like a rock star, a five year old rock star. Even since with monumental moment, athletics have always played a large role in my life.…

    My mom was adopted at the age of 9 but was given up at birth. So she grew up her first 9 years bouncing from foster home to group homes. And my dad is Algonquin Native American, but I did not meet him until I was 15 years old. With that being said, I don’t really know my culture background and sure wasn’t raised with one. I had a single mom that would not take welfare, instead she worked 2 or 3 jobs at a time to support my sister and I. We did have great grandparents that adopted my mom, and without them my life would of been a lot more difficult growing up. They were both school teachers, and my mom was their only child. The most culture upbringing we had with them was probably church. My grandma was and to this day, a true Christian to the core. We grew up staying with my grandparents most of the time outside of school nights. I went to church every Sunday, and attended and helped with all holiday functions and anything else that we could. During the summer, we went to VBS for 3 weeks in Priest Lake, Idaho. We prayed before every meal and followed the Christian calendar. Such as Palm Sunday, and so on. My fondest memories were Easter morning sunrise service in Spokane. We’d wake up at 3:30 AM, and be at this overlook point before sunrise. At that time the minister would have the special sermon. I know this isn’t exactly what this assignment was about, but other then religion, I have no other culture upbringing.…
