Personal Narrative: A Good Man Is Hard
After 11 years of being out of high school, I finally decided to go to college. I was extremely nervous when I made the decision to get a higher education because of the huge space in time between high school and now. William Cobbett once said: “you will never know what you can do till you try.” I can honestly say I have taken that to heart, because I didn’t think I could do college, but once I tried it, I found out that it wasn’t near as hard as I thought it would be. I have overcome many challenges and obstacles throughout this semester. English composition 1 taught me a lot of verbal corrections along with how to set up Microsoft Word the right way with double spaced lines, times new roman and font.

Towards the end, I was thrown for such a loop I couldn’t decide if I my head was on straight or backwards. The way it starts off is about a family going on a trip to Tennessee. The family consists of a very proper acting grandmother who should have kept her opinions to herself and her mouth shut, her son, daughter-in law and 3 grandchildren. While on the way to Tennessee she tells of a house that has a treasure inside the walls and that it is on a dirt road coming up. Her grandchildren want to see it and her son did not want to go, but she insisted. After they got on the dirt, their car broke down and they ran into a murderer that was actively on the run. Her son and grandson were taken in the woods and shot along with her daughter in-law and 2 granddaughters. After having a conversation with him, she told him that it was hard to find a good man, but she knew he was deep down. He then shot and killed her too. I did not like this story!
The division/analysis essay was my worst essay of the semester. I chose to write about “Jock Culture” a story written by Robert Lypsite that was published in The Brief Bedford Reader (p.305-p.308.) Lypsite was talking about his interview with Bob Stowe a college coach who was completely full of himself. In the end after both of them had grown older in years Lipsyte decided that he agreed with Stowe after disagreeing with him earlier in life. I would not ever choose this story for a division/analysis topic if I had the opportunity to do it over
