Personal Narrative: General Robert E. Lee
Many people have many people that they adore, but most people do not have the

person that I adore. I adore him for his bravery for fighting for his beliefs. I adore this

man when I heard that they took down the Confederate Flag. When I heard that I

thought about the people that had died for their beliefs and we put shame to them

because they believed in something different. After I thought about it for a while, there

was one person that came to mind, and that person is General Robert E. Lee. Lee

fought in what he believed in since he graduated college and got a wife and seven kids.

When the reporter said that they took down the flag because the flag means to

hate African-Americans. I felt angry, that is a good enough reason to take

    Lee: the Gentlemen’s Gentleman

    Robert E. Lee was considered by many in the South and even by some in the North to be the epitome of what a gentleman should be. Ulysses S. Grant was the North’s answer to Lee. “They were two strong men, these oddly different generals, and they represented the strengths of two conflicting currents that, through them, had come into final collision” (429). He was even considered to be an aristocrat in many social circles. “Lee embodied the noblest elements of this aristocratic ideal. Through him, the landed nobility justified itself” (430). Lee is considered to be more admirable because he was willing to die for his beliefs, felt a strong obligation to his community, and had a strong family tradition.…

    Elie Wiesel's Acceptance Speech Essay

    The Holocaust taught us that we need to remember the ones that we have lost. It is important that we do remember them because if we don't it will happen again. The Holocaust is one of the worst things that has happened in Human history. We all have lost someone important to us. We don’t want any more innocent lives to be taken for their own religion and faith. As Elie Wiesel said, “To forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second…

    The Confederate Flag In The 1860's

    The Confederate Flag was the main flag for the Confederates during the civil war, and has remained a part of the southern culture to this day. The Confederates in the Civil War stood for the right to own people and force them to work. The Confederate Flag in the 1860’s was more a symbol of people fighting for beliefs, but today is a symbol of modern racism. The Confederate Flag is offensive to African-Americans, and is a symbol of racial segregation. The Confederate Flag is a symbol of racism and should be taken down from federal businesses and buildings…

    Personal Narrative: Fighting The Revolutionary War With The Patriots

    In the near future, I see myself winning the Revolution War with the Patriots. I can picture it in my head, every single little detail. I will be at the front of the army as we charge towards the Redcoats. We will be fierce and strong in our ragged clothes and bare feet. We will stand firm when the British try to fight us. If they beat us, we will stubbornly keep coming back until they raise the white flag! I know it seems hard to believe but if you see it from my perspective, I am sure I will change your mind. Right now I am at Valley Forge in the 1700’s. It is dreary, smoky, and cold but I always try to be optimistic. I try to boost my fellow soldiers’ spirits. I am usually successful, though most men are going home and not returning.…

    Personal Narrative: The Civil War Legacy

    The Civil War legacy still has an impact on Americans today. Today, most Americans look at the Civil War in an awe-inspired perspective. People try to skip over the blood and ugliness that resulted because of it, and instead try to focus on the courage and heroic deeds that soldiers performed. Many today are more likely to view the war as a fight for black freedom instead of for state’s rights, which is what it had previously been known for. The South still seems proud of the Confederate flag, even though it is the cause of a lot of controversy. Some people view it as part of their heritage. Certain topics of the Civil War are still well-known throughout society. Abraham Lincoln, the Gettysburg Address, and the Emancipation proclamation are all examples of what people associate with the Civil War. People try to remember iconic people and images like these, instead of the blood, gore, and hate that took place.…

    Personal Narrative: My Diary Of The American Revolution

    The night of April, 18, 1775 I was abruptly woken up by some random man running through Boston yelling “The British are coming, the British are coming!” I was not very happy of getting less than a hour of sleep. This weird man came through around 10:30 PM and woke everyone in the town from there sleep. At first when I heard him say that phase I did not know what he meant by it. I then gathered with my neighbors outside and was told if I wanted to fight the British I had to sign my name on the books in the city hall later that evening. When I went to that meeting later that night they told me to go home get a pound of bread a flask of water and my gun, and to also get a little rest and when the drums sound go stand on the green. So I went home and rested a little and then said my goodbyes to little Johnny and Benjamin. Until we all heard the drums. I then went with my…
