Ethno Autobiography Analysis
Wow, this quote from, Ethno Autobiography, written by Jürgen Werner Kremer and R Jackson-Paton really stood out to me in such an enlightening way. I related to this statement because, I feel, that many people whom are, WEIRD, do tend to look upon other peers this way. These types of people don’t take the time to understand someone, get to know them on a personal level – what they have been through, where they lived, defining moments that they have had and finding out their long term and short term endeavors. For instance, one thing that I can relate this to is college applications. Therefore, due to the overpopulated college system we have in place there is no time to holistically get to know a single student, so that’s why doing an analytical

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Who Are You

    A few years prior a reporter strolled around New York city casing and stopping outsider at random. Asking everyone “Who are you?”, most people give straightforward answers like their names, nationalities, profession and even their religion . The answer each person give, it reflect how they viewed themself and what important to tell a stranger about them. It does not matter if a young girl thinks herself as an old woman or a as an adult.

    Cultural Autobiography

    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.…

    Personal Narrative: Kindergarten Leader

    At a young age, I waited on the benches for my mother to retrieve me from carpool. I observed my peers laughing together as they walked towards the gym for after-school sports. My mother, who soon arrived to find her kindergarten son sitting in solitude, scheduled numerous parent-teacher conferences. She would share her concerns while my teachers assured her that my "individuality" was what attracted friends to me. I had been a leader rather than a follower regardless of the opinion of others, and, to this day, that has remained static. I have evolved from that careless kindergarten leader, to an aspiring college graduate.…

    Personal Narrative: My Ethnic Background

    I am proud to say, "I am a perfect blend of sweet and salty." My ethnic background consists of two; My dad being Salvadorian and my mom is Mexican, making me and my siblings quite the concoction of Hispanic blood. You would think because we are all in the Hispanic category our lives wouldn't be difficult since we speak Spanish, have the same characteristics, and usually, family traditions are or should be quite similar. Not completely, in this case, I recently found out that it isn't common for Salvadorians and Mexicans to get along because they both are just as proud and tough. In specifics, my mom always has given me the warm side of caring for others, being family oriented is important and giving is always better than receiving. My dad, on the other hand, was very dry in emotion he…

    Culture is an important and vital component that defines who and what we are as a person. We interface with cultural difference on a daily basis. So what exactly is culture? Good Question! I will attempt to identify my own cultural and explain what cultural means to me. So, lets start by defining the term culture. “Culture is a particular society that has its own beliefs, ways of life, art, etc.”.

    My first awareness of race was when I saw some kid who looks completely different from me. He had completely different skin tone, and in many aspects don't quite look like myself.

That was the world to me until first grade, the first time of my life to see someone who is another race. He was an Irani.

    Personal Ethnography

    Growing up, I was never told much about my birth, only that I was large. I was raised in a single parent household and I was pushed out into the world to develop and learn many different things about life. Being born in the 90s, I would have thought more diverse worldwide events would have occurred. While researching the date I was born and the various years, I found quite a bit of criminal activity involved in the articles I found. Although my birth was the happiest day for some, it was possibly the worst day for others.…

    Reading Autobiography Analysis

    Trying to be the perfect mother, my mom subscribed my older brother and me to a book club during my toddler hood. Arriving in the mail box every week, hard back books wrapped in thick cardboard were anticipated by my family. Eagerly, my mother and I hand in hand walked to the mail box to receive our weekly reading material. My brother seemed to read easily as my mother gently held me tight as he perused the pages. He was only seven. I can remember thinking that reading will be difficult for me and I actually felt intimidated by his advance reading skills. Looking at the illustrations was my favorite. One book, King Bidgood, we read over and over.…

    Essay On Personal Ethnography

    It was my freshman year. I had been dancing for about three years when I was selected for our dance competition team. I felt ready. It eventually came my time to show everyone how hard I worked over the past few months. Hands shaking and heart racing, I took my first step onto that stage alone. I made it halfway through the performance before my mind went blank, forgetting my choreography. Thinking quickly, I tried to improvise the rest of my routine. Finally, the music went silent. Sitting in humility, the team gathered on the stage anticipating awards. I wasn't expecting much. Rightfully so, I placed in the lowest possible scoring bracket. I had an overwhelming feeling of failure; I wasn’t good enough. I wanted to be as skilled as the other dancers in the room. They deserved where they were, and so did I. Over the next year, I worked harder than I ever had. I took extra classes, I practiced in my bedroom mirror, I would even tondu in the grocery store. I integrated dance into every aspect of my life. I desired to be better than I was. This experience fueled…

    English Autobiography essay

    Around 32 years ago, on the 11th of August, I was born in the lovely city of Christchurch, New Zealand to Leonie and Craig Hemsworth. My mother worked as an English teacher while my dad worked as a social services counselor. I was also blessed with two brothers, my elder brother Luke Hemsworth, and my younger brother Liam Hemsworth. My life in New Zealand was relatively short as my family and I migrated to Australia to continue our lives. We lived in both Melbourne and the Australia Outback in Bulman, The northern territory. My earliest memories were on the cattle stations chasing the cows around back in the outback. Boy that was fun, how I’d wish that I was still an innocent kid chasing around cows in the farm. Besides the cattles, I still remember the crocodiles and buffalos that reside near the farm. After a couple of years residing in the northern territory, we moved to the city of Melbourne. I attended high school at Heathmont college before my family and I moved to the Phillip islands.…
