Personal Narrative Essay: Emmett's House
Emmett's house was a picture-perfect vision of the American dream. A white picket fence outlined a well-manicured lawn with immaculately trimmed shrubbery lining the path to a red-painted door. It was better than most people could hope to afford in the outside world with the recession going on. No wonder he was such a smug bastard. Before I had even finished knocking, the door was pulled open, revealing the alpha of the Blackfoot Werewolf Reservation who had been expecting me the entire time. His dominant brown eyes looked down on me with amusement before he invited me inside for the grand tour. The house oozed with luxuries vacant from most of the other werewolf domiciles. Rich wooden furniture and leather upholstered seating were a hallmark

    He goes to the hoop. He jumps, hanging in the air for what felt like eternity. It was his second game. Brought up from the D-League, he needed to prove himself. His name is Jeff “Elmo” Beige. As the ball is coming down, closer to the hoop another individual comes into play. The name is unnecessary to know, but the man is key to Jeff’s story. The man jumps. He didn’t have to, but he did it anyway. His six-foot ten body could have easily blocked the shot on Jeff’s six-foot five structure. As Jeff’s hand with the ball comes crashing toward the net the man’s hand makes contact with the ball. The ball doesn't even touch the rim. Rejected at the rim. Jeff’s career is over at that very moment. One block defined his whole basketball career. Such a dejected ending for a fantastic story.…

    Emmett Till was a 14 year old African American boy who was murdered by white men. Those that knew Emmett said he was funny and responsible. He had polio at the age of 5, but was able to recover with only a slight stutter(source 3). Emmett’s nickname that only some of his friends called him was Bobo, and he was also a little chubby but he didn't let it affect him. He lived in a haven for black businesses, houses, and people, and went to a segregated school in Chicago. Emmett went to Mississippi to visit his cousins, after talking his mom into letting him go. But, that may have been the worst decision of his life, as he got murdered there because of his race, and he apparently “flirted” with a white women(source 3). Emmett was kidnapped by…

    Edward, a name only his mother used by the way, had just lost his job something that added substantially to his already rather low self-esteem. One of his friends, one of the very few he had left, managed to talk him into taking part in a search party looking for a girl that had gone missing up in the nearby mountains. Even though he had lived all his life in the shadows of the mountain range, he had actually never been up there. So just the thought of him taking part in this search and rescue mission without proper clothing, without a pair of decent boots looked more than a joke than anything else. The experience would however come to change his life fundamentally. He would come to find so much more than he set out to look for as it would…

    When I was six, I was adopted. Not in the Anne of Green Gables kind of way, although ironically my middle name was named after her, or any other horrifying foster home route that most people think of when they hear that word. Nor was it some dramatic experience at the time. In fact, I remember being bored waiting in the judge’s office while the adults signed papers. Instead, my father left before I was born and I was half-adopted; one father’s name was wiped off my birth certificate and replaced by another.…

    It was a typical Saturday morning in the Williamson household; I had woken up around 9 am and eagerly rushed upstairs to be greeted by the scent of hash browns cooking on the stove. My dad was standing by the stove and immediately swung around as he heard my footsteps, saying, “Oh, hello libes”. To clarify, “libes” is a nickname that originated from me making fun of my dad’s attempts to speak Spanish, there’s not much of a story or significance behind the names except they have stuck for two years now. Anyways, I casually answered my dad, “Oh hola libes”, and proceeded to approach my phone sitting on the nearby counter. I didn’t notice at the moment, but my dad was scowling as he watched me focus my eyes on the plastic screen as I checked my…

    My nose is overwhelmed with the smell of hairspray, baby powder, and a fruity perfume. There are too many girls in here, all struggling and fighting for a space near the mirror that covers the entire back wall. It’s dim in here, but it’s a good kind of dim, almost calming. The only light is coming from the round vanity bulbs that line the top of the mirrors, making it so that the fluorescents don’t impair what natural light reveals. I make my way to the red lockers on the right, squeezing past two of my fellow giggling cast-members as they try to make their way out the swinging door. After opening my locker, personalized with my name stickered on the front in purple sparkly letters, I get out my bulking make-up bag and curling iron. My eyes dart across the room in search of an available outlet, hoping one even still exists within the chaos. I look around the base of the walls near the white and blue tiled floor, trying not to get annoyed at all the hair straighteners that are just sitting there unused and warming. I roll my eyes and…
