Assignment 2 week 3 Julie Garcia 7/15/2012
Personal Narrative Essay (Lost Wallet & Phone)

A wallet or a purse for some is a precious item in which most carry things more essential than money towards everyday life. If some people were to lose that portable safe, they may be off set for the rest of the day. The person without that wallet and phone could be cranky or depressed for a while. Maybe something of great sentimental value was in that wallet and phone. This person could stay hold these feelings for a long time, until they find their belongings by which case they are filled with joy. I personally, keep anything I may have4 interest in knowing where it is, in my wallet. I am very good about always having my wallet and phone and never losing it until recently. In my wallet, I store my dire personal items such as my driver’s license and credit cards, pictures, sss card, and my gift cards for stores. Last summer I was in Malibu California with my husband and kids. I drove there with my wallet and phone and took it everywhere with me, like I would any other time. Well when you have no pockets, then it is hard to keep your wallet and phone right next to you at all times. I was carrying my wallet, phone, and keys; I set them on top of my car. When I figured out that, I needed the keys to start my car. I took off leaving wallet and phone on top of my car. I had been driving about 2 miles before I realized that my wallet and phone was not there. Immediately I pulled the car over, and the next hour I spent looking for my wallet and phone. All I could think about was what I would lose if I did not find my wallet and phone. The week before was my birthday, and I was given a $500 dollar gift card to Best Buy and $300 dollar gift card to BEBE. A side from that I had $1000 dollars in cash. While walking up and down the road that my wallet and phone flew off on, my son found my Best Buy gift card. That eased my mind a little. However, that was all

    To begin, most of the time, Dr. Seuss’s editing company would come and ask him to create a book that had between 50 to 250 new vocabulary words for kids to learn. As usual this was something that Dr. Seuss never had trouble with. The Cat in the Hat was published with 48 different words. Within those 48 words, more than just the cat coming to a house to entertain the kids way conveyed (Dr. Seuss Biography). Other stories such as Yurtle the Turtle and The Butter Battle Book each have understandable symbols. In addition to symbolism, Dr. Seuss used rhyme as another key to his superlative writing and cartoons. For example, Seuss used rhyme in the Cat in the Hat when he said, “...Make that cat go away! Tell that cat you DO NOT want to play. Dr.…

    I am rarely allowed to go out of my house. I can only go out when the neighbors are in their houses. I can never do anything fun because that is a sin. During the day, I peel the paint off my walls to see if there are any holes in the walls. If I do find a hole, I dig deeper and deeper until I cannot go on anymore. Then I just leave it. Sometimes, I find mice in the holes. When I find them, I keep them for a while and then I eat them alive. When I do not want to talk to my family, I hide in my closet and just stay in there for hours. My brother sometimes brings me stuff from work if I behaved well during the day. Every time he brings me something, I hide it stored in a place only I know about, which is a hole in the tree outside. Last week, I hid my Wrigley’s Double-Mint and a couple of Indian-head coins. When I came back a few days later to store a ball of gray twine, my gum and my coins were gone. The kids who stole my things did not know I was watching them. A few days later, in the knothole, I placed a carved soap of the two kids I carved myself so I could scare them away. I also got caught by my brother I was hiding things in the knothole because the next day, he filled in with cement. When I don’t peel the paint off my walls or find mice to eat, I just sleep to kill time. When I'm allowed to go to the bathroom, I close the door and try to sharpen my teeth for the mice. It’s really painful because I get a knife sharpener and I literally sharp my teeth. I also keep a needle and ball of twine and I make figures out of them. When I sew, I make our neighbors like Mr. Avery and Mr. Finch. I never sew like a girl but I think they are good for my standards. I also try to kill my time reading the dictionary. Reading the dictionary is better than reading the Bible because you can learn a few new words off the dictionary while the Bible tells you how to live your life. Lastly, I draw on my wall that tells how…

    Last week I spent time packing up boxes and moving things around the house. In the process, I started pulling things out of places where I had stashed them for safe keeping, forgetting that I even had these treasured items. While I was in this Spring cleaning frenzy, I opened a closet, no different from an attic or shed, and found an old forgotten box. When I finally managed to open it, a little disaster punched me right in my face, figuratively of course, but it got me thinking.…

    My necklace was a gift from my mom and I always wear it and rarely take it off. So I guess you could say it has that special effect to it when its around my neck since it was a gift. I always have a wallet in my back right pocket, ever since I was a little kid, even though I had nothing to put in it as a little kid but maybe some pictures and a dollar or two because nothing was more important than trying to be like dad with a wallet. Now I’m just about 17 and my wallet serves its purpose so its kind of like a necessity since I store my, cards, ID, and money inside that leather flap. A wallet probably doesn’t that important, since every man carries one but I am very protective of it since I earned everything in it and I have a mini panic…

    I am a very forgetful person. I can lose things within minutes and have absolutely no idea as to where it is. Consequently, being that person can be very tough because no one really trust you with their belongings, you lose everything and it becomes very frustrating, etc. So it is very of the norm for me to causally misplace my phone. One day while leaving the mall after a day of handing out with friends I realized I misplaced my phone. I didn’t really give it much thought because this is a normal habit for me. However, it wasn’t until I got home that I realized, “I really don’t have my phone.” I went straight into panic mode because I realized that it could be anywhere, with anyone. After about forty-five minutes of crying and searching,…

    So I was stuck with my parents old ragged Samsung Galaxy S3. The next week we went to Colorado for a family vacation to Keystone Colorado. We went skiing for 6 hours straight and my whole family was tired. When we returned to the condo we ate lunch and the smell of hamburgers and frijoles was in the air. When we were about to leave I had to go to the restroom. “SPLASH!” it heard as my phone dropped in the toilet. I was thinking what will my parents reaction would be this time. My parents ended up madder at me this time but I promised if I got a new phone I would be more responsible.…

    Since the founding of the United States, the founding fathers feared a government that would become too authoritarian. To contrast this, they allowed the right to protest in the First Amendment. However, protesting usually does not do enough. Often, civil disobedience is necessary to provoke conversation about sometimes immoral societal norms. Many examples include Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, Rosa Parks, and others.…

    Every person has on object in their life that is very precious to the, for me, it is my pearl necklace. They are small and round and a lustrous cream color with a pink sheen. They have a tiny gold clasp that holds the necklace together. My pearls tell a story than no other personal artifact can: my heritage. The pearls symbolized tradition and womanhood in my family’s life, and they were to be worn with dignity and pride. Every holiday, the girls of the family accessorized their outfits with the pearls given by our grandmother. They were something we all had in common: the thread that linked our generations together. I recall looking down at my Nana’s casket and I could almost hear her voice whispering in my ear, “Never let any one prevent you from being you,” her outlook on life. Taking my last glimpse of Nana, I gently rubbed her casket goodbye and then rubbed my pearls. Instead of clinging to my mother that day, I clenched to my pearls.…
