Personal Narrative: An Interview With Eric's Family Life
Imagine being isolated, lonely, alone with no one around to give you company. This is Eric’s fear of being alone. On August 31, 2016, in my english 11 class, I interviewed Eric Swihart, this was the first time I’ve seen and met him. I had discovered things about Eric’s family life, school education, and hobbies. The first topic that I had interviewed Eric about is his family life. Eric was born on June 8, 2000 in Westmoreland hospital in Pittsburgh. from then on he was raised in what I would consider a big family. Eric has three siblings, two brothers and one sister. His siblings are Logan who is 24, Luvus who is 21, and his younger sister Erin is 14. His family also include pets, a hamster, 5 cats and a dog. Though Eric doesn't know what the hamster is named he did give me the names of the cats, They are, Noel, …show more content…
In middle school where he’d seen his friends. He has a hilarious 8th grade history teacher and didn’t like to learn. After he graduates Eric plans on working and relaxing with no children. When school is over Eric has a job at McDonalds working in the service area. Eric has no other after school activities and his most influential person in his life is his mom. She taught Eric about a lot of subjects when it comes to life, such as being respectful to other people.
The final area of conversation was about Eric’s personality traits and hobbies. Eric’s hobbies are guitar, hanging out with his friends, playing video games, and he also is a part of a band named “Kaelber”. All of these hobbies help bring out Eric’s funny personality. He also likes to listen to Megadeth, a thrash metal from the 80’s but mostly 90’s. Eric also gave me his insight about being a teenager. He stated “Adults never treat you with respect but they expect us to respect them.” This conversation also brought up that when people are disrespectful towards other people it gets on his

    When I was in 7th grade I wrestled this guy named Bo Meikamp from Edwardsville. In 8th grade I wrestled him again and he beat me in the second period, and then he ended up placing 3rd at state our 8th grade year. Our next match was at the Edwardsville Freshman Duels and he beat me by points in the third period.

    Also talk about the actual faults of Eric. If i'm right in saying, Eric was a raging drunk, and stole from his fathers business to support his baby (from the affair). This is also a point to mention, how he has openly admitted to these problems, the theft, the alcoholism, and the affair. He had accepted the consequences of them, as he couldn't live with the burden of a lie upon his shoulders.…

    1st of all I think Ty Dooley did a great job speaking at the panel and really made look at things from a totally different prospective. Something that I’ve taken away from him during the event is even after we leave this diverse university environment it is up to each and every single one of us to keep the conversations going and regardless of the good and bad going on around us we should never forget about our heritage and background regardless of where that might possible be. Something else that he made me think is that if we choose to forget about history then it would surely repeat itself. I personally will take his advice by not being scared to speak up about certain issues within the university and even a larger community, I also learned…

    Imagine a child in a large shopping area, like the Mall of America with their parents. Their most important task is to not get lost because of the fear of isolation. I was that child. When I was younger my family went to the Mall of America and we got put into a situation of being broken off from each other. Everyone in my group was afraid, my parents were freaking out because no one could get ahold of anyone. We all were flustered because we did not want to be alone and did not want to be lost in such a large place. This led to us crying and freaking out due to the stress and isolation that had been pushed upon us. Many variations of American Literature can directly tie to this idea of isolation. All the pieces of literature we have studied this year have a common theme,that the fear of isolation leads to emotional pain in the life of the characters.…

    “He can be Taught,” is the perfect title for how the day went. It was wonderful to see M smiling and having a great day. He followed directions, which was our main objective and the smile on his face was contagious. We did numerous activities that involved counting and memorization, so now I’m wondering what his limits are. Next time we will continue some of the same activities, but I want to get him counting to higher numbers. I think the sticker idea was brilliant, and it gave M a goal to work towards. I learned that giving praise and encouragement for jobs well done, was contagious as well. The proud look on his face when he got to put his own sticker on the chart, reminded me of when I had gotten one of those sticker stars when I was in…

    After the Inspector arrives, and starts to interrogate Arthur, Eric interrupts again with ‘Why shouldn’t they try for higher wages?’. Eric has again brought along the point which a lot of the audience would be been thinking. At the same time, Eric has given these workers, and Eva, a voice to be heard. It also isolates Eric a little from the rest of his family as he cares more about the ‘wages’ that these lower class people get than the money of the business, which Arthur doesn’t like at all. The audience would start to see a clear divide between the family starting with Eric and Arthur, and later Sheila and Sybil. Questions are used a lot around Eric’s character, which could show very clearly that he wants to know why things are happening or even that why certain things aren’t happening, relating closely to society at the time.…
