Personal Narrative: Clarice Starling
I need a partner that doesn’t stomp on my voice or only lazily correct my grammar. I need someone to challenge me, while still encouraging my own beliefs. I need Clarice Starling. Principled, she was impervious to intimidation. When the sanatorium director became envious of her success, he transferred Dr. Lecter in exchange for his help. Clarice, however, knew Lecter nursed the police completely false information. Every one turned a deaf ear, dismissing her theories and obstructing her investigation. Busy fishing for Lecter’s red herring, the police called her efforts ridiculous and unnecessary. Yet, she adhered to her own leads and, in the end, saved Catherine. I can be too passive, changing, underestimating, and silencing my views to please

    I moved from Detroit, MI to Ypsilanti, MI, for a better living. It was December 29, 2008. I had just given birth to my daughter. My daughter was born at 9:45p.m, weighing 5lbs and 3ounces. I named my daughter Saphira Parthenia Franks. Saphira died at 36 weeks, due to still born. The doctor told me” Sometimes this happens without a reason and you will be able to have more children”. I already had my mind made up, that I would wait until I turn thirty to have another baby. I was heartbroken and disgusted with myself. I was already going insane from the deaths of my father in November 2006 and my grandma in July 2008. Therefore, I was not able to cope with their three deaths at once.…

    “What do you want to be when you grow up?” my friends, guidance counselor, parents, college applications, ask. When I was six I wanted to be Hannah Montana. When I was 12, nothing had changed but I reasoned I could have a second job too – just in case. I’m 17 now and I’ve been exposed to a deluge of astounding things: timeless authors, transformational historical events, jaw-dropping scientific discoveries, emotionally riveting political and social revolutions and at the fringes of it all - sometimes in the center - I’ve imbibed the powerful influence of the female voice in a world historically dominated by men.…

    As most of you know I am Brandi Fennell and I attend William Carey University in Hattiesburg, MS. This weekend was such a “God moment” for me. On Thursday night I just had an urge to go home. So early friday morning I left with a duffel bag with enough clothes to just stay a weekend because I thought I would be leaving to back to school today after church.

But luckily we had no deaths just minor injuries. We are closed immediately and are not to allowed to come onto to campus to even get our stuff.…
