Biographical Essay: The Autobiography Of Percy Jackson
You might think this will be a boring autobiography of me, Brianna. It isn’t. It is a very interesting autobiography. If you don’t believe me then read on to find out. It was a Saturday morning and I was reading my favorite book, Percy Jackson and the Olympians Book #1. “Brianna!” my younger sister, Cydney said. “What!” I replied. She asked for cereal. Groaning, I put down my book and poured some cereal for her. I picked up my book once again and continued reading. I heard a loud smack upstairs and flinched. I told Cydney to continue eating while I went upstairs. I peeked into my parent’s room and shrieked in horror as I saw my mom’s face deep red. I knew my dad hit her. It had been happening for weeks now. My dad went to the bathroom and my mom ran up to me. She was silently sobbing tears. I badly wanted to comfort her, but she started talking. She told me to pack some clothes and take Cydney away from our father. She told us to runaway. It had been a week since we left our home. Cydney was always scared and clung onto me. I still had nightmares from when we left. I had kept a few clothes, a large water bottle, and a book. Cydney brought a stuffed animal and a few clothes. We were both …show more content…

I realized that he was in the beginning of the Sea of Monsters the second book of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. He said that he was going to Camp Half-Blood and asked me to come and drop him off. He said it was near-by. I called Cydney and Percy led the way.

    If I was Andrew Jackson during that time I would have a big decision to make. Considering the war of 1812 would have ended around 20 years earlier, another costly war wouldn't be good for the economy or the people. The country had to borrow money for the war of 1812 so getting the money back from the French from the Napoleonic Wars would help the economy a great deal. Sometimes in life from what I have learned it is better to give up the small battles in order to win the war. That is just the situation Andrew Jackson was faced with. He could give an explanation and get his money back or not apologize and incur more debt without getting that payment from France. Also being an important trade partner, keeping good relations with France would…

    Honorable and infamous, courageous and alarmed, trustworthy and treasonous – one could claim that President Andrew Jackson fills the bill of each category. President Jackson’s legacy is one that is continuously being rewritten and reformed. Andrew Jackson, the man who set forth plans that would normally send men wallowing in fear, became a war hero during the War of 1812, destroyed the Second Bank of the United States, eliminated the national debt, and conquered and triumphed over the Supreme Court. In a sense a man larger than life, Jackson paved the way for the many liberties that we take for granted today. From nullification to Indian Removal, Andrew Jackson is a man who is cautiously studied. From his early childhood years to the deathbed,…

    Andrew Jackson’s impact is deeper than just being the seventh president of the United States, his legacy is not his presidency. He formed the Democratic party, but the two-party system was Jackson’s legacy. Jackson spoke as the people’s choice he connected with the citizens by being born into a family that was not high in the rankings, but modest farmers. He worked up the ladder to become the political power he ended up being, from being captured at thirteen by the British to becoming a lawyer, and then finally, the seventh president of the United States.…

    I was working on a school project when I got a call from my dad saying he was coming right away to come pick me up, I remember the sheathing anger I felt arguing that no he wasn’t going to pick me up that I really needed to finish this school project. I still shake my head in dismay knowing the fact I in fact didn’t need to finish the project I just wanted to hang out with my friends. I can’t pretend that I didn’t sulk my way to my dad’s waiting vehicle that I looked at him with a scowl across my face. Nor can I wipe away from my memory the words he said next “Your sister is in the hospital, she’s lost her baby and she’s asking for you.” This complete wash of emotion that came over me the shame the concern I was mortified with myself. How could I have been so mad about my importance when my sister had just faced a devastating event? Looking up and saying “Take me to her.”…
