Chica's Experiences: A Narrative Fiction
Chica’s head rested in my lap while the rest of her was splayed out on the couch. She knew that there was the no couch rule, but Mark never really enforced it, so Chica would find always find herself comfortable on the couch. She was completely unaware of the puffs of fur she would leave behind everywhere she walked. Lucky for Chica, she was the cutest pup in the whole world so she and her fur could lay anywhere she wanted. I mindlessly rubbed her head as I took a sip of my tea and looked through the window into the backyard. The beautiful mountains of Los Angeles within view. I breathed out a sigh of happiness. The world was quiet and calm. A loud scream pierced the air, breaking the peace and quiet I was enjoying. Chica lifted her head and began to wag her tail, she knew that was her beloved owner screaming at some game. …show more content…
I also found the screams a goodish thing… well, at least I knew he was getting his work done. His screams were not one of the most sexist things about him, but they were apart of him so they had a slight sexiness to them, but just barely. I got up and Chica looked at me with a slight annoyance because her head scratcher was leaving. I patted her head and with mug still in hand I walked down the hall to the door right outside Mark’s recording room. I cracked open the door slightly and stuck my head into the room. I was able to watch without the cameras seeing me. I prefered to stay in the shadows when it came to fame. I loved Mark’s fans, but who knows what reaction I would receive? Maybe a mix of love and hate, but I liked my mostly simple

    To complete the property tour, we looked at the bedroom, comfortably proportioned for a queen sized bed and a floor-to-ceiling closet with a large window facing Paolina Park. The attractive bathroom was functional and came equipped with all the essentials. Lastly, we looked at the garage. Maria Laura informed us that Italians refer to a garage as a “car box”. The car box was large enough to accommodate a mid-sized car, a workbench, and storage for tools and seasonal items. I was overjoyed…

    Reading this passage, I could feel the frustration and the longing for people to understand the La Chicanas behind Martinez’s writing. How throughout history, the Chicanas have been forced to endure so many different types of oppressions by many different types of people. What Martinez calls triple oppression, oppression by “the forces of racism, imperialism, and sexism,” and that every woman who is not white, is able to feel this type of oppression. And she’s right- as a white woman I will never fully comprehend what it feels like to be constantly oppressed purely because of my skin color. Like other minority women, the Chicana’s were told that their movement and beliefs were not up to standard when it came to the liberation movements.…

    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 narrative written by Judith Ortiz Cofer discusses some of the many experiences she has encountered throughout her life dealing with stereotypes and common misconceptions of Latin American women. To further engage her audience in the story, she provides detailed past experiences that have stood out to her the most. In order for the readers to fully understand those past encounters, some of which are cultural and common among Latinos, Cofer explains them in careful detail. For example, Cofer explains the concept of piropos which are poems composed on the spot by men to women as a form of admiration. This helps her introduce the audience to her own experiences with piropos and how she has dealt with them throughout her life. One of the instances in the narrative really makes the reader understand Cofer’s anger when a well-established man who should know better mocked her with a song thinking that it’s completely acceptable because she was Latin.…

    At one-thirty in the afternoon, Carolee Mitchell was running the vacuum cleaner, or she would have heard the first sirens and looked out. After the first, there weren’t any others. The calling voices, even the number of dogs barking, could have been students on their way back to school, high-spirited in the bright, cold earliness of the year. Thinking back on the sounds, Carolee remembered a number of car doors being slammed, that swallow of air and report which made her smooth her hair automatically even if she wasn’t expecting anyone. But what caught her eye finally was what…

    The dog yapped wildly as its owner slowly spoke. Her voice was fairly unique, in that it was both squeaky and deep, like a distorted teenager going through puberty. The dog, however, was the usual garden variety mutt you can find digging through trash all over the country. His fur was mostly white, with brown streaks of indeterminate origin. I sat on an old couch that had most likely been passed down generation to generation, with each tear and rip being covered up with duct tape. The couch was less of a couch and more of a duct-tape based art piece at this point. The room itself was straight out of some post-apocalyptic version of the Seventies. A shag carpet, which at one point was probably one color, was what I was nervously resting my…
