Personal Narrative: My Story On Russian Spy
Things that inspire me are; my family, nature, friends, pets, stars, dreams, art, the wind, TV shows, and music.
My absolutely favorite piece of writing was the, Confess a Secret Journal. I thought it was so fun to create a character that was hiding something. I wrote my story on Russian Spy working for the FBI. I really enjoyed writing this story because there was so many ways I could go with it. I chose to have the Russian spy fall in love and tell the woman he was a spy because he did not care what his organization thought of him anymore. I put a lot of effort into this piece by looking up details about the time period and popular names around that time. I also used information from crime shows I watch to know how a spy would act. I talked about how he made information drops, how the organization set his love’s apartment on fire and drugged her, as well as staying in a safe house. I got my inspiration from, NCIS, a tv show I was watching the night before. In the episode someone had leaked intel to the Russian Government and that is how I got my idea.
I was not happy with my Spooky Story. The whole point of the assignment was to create a spooky story. I do not watch scary movies or read scary books, so I had a very hard time coming up with a scary plot. Throughout the story I had a lot of grammatical errors and trouble making the …show more content…

    For nearly a century, the KGB, the Committee for State Security within the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, controlled the USSR. The members of the committee were trained assassins as well as accomplished spies. Through several well-placed spies and paid civilians, the KGB was able to control the Politburo, the Soviet parliament, and the rest of the union. The KGB was in charge of the Siberian labor camps – even today, Vladimir Putin’s secret service, the FSB, is charged with the upkeep of those camps. Several of the greatest and most terrible leaders of the Soviet Union were brought up through the ranks of the KGB and its predecessors: Beria, Andropov, and Yeltsin were all protégés of the KGB. The KGB infiltrated straight into the heart of the American and British establishments; the KGB ran the most infamous spy ring in the history of espionage . The KGB supervised many invasions of the Middle East and Eastern Europe. The KGB crest – the sword and the shield – is to show what the KGB stands for; defense, espionage, and attack. The KGB has affected both the culture and the government of Russia in several ways.…

    Personal Narrative: The Cuban Missile Crisis

    For my friend's birthday, we went to sociology. He picked me up from my house, with his two other friends carter and Geo. Edens dad dropped us off and we started. The mission we were doing was the Cuban missile crisis. We had to get the launch codes before the commander got back in 1 hour. Two of the coolest parts where a telephone that we had to take apart and a fake bookshelf. The hardest part was the locks. It was agonizing looking at the timer every few seconds. We didn't really get started until about halfway in. Even them, we were screaming and yelling at each other. Eventually, after we had used all our hints and we had about 10 seconds left, we got out. If you get out you get a bracelet saying which one you bet. It was my second time,…

I would figure it out this or that way and run it down through my head until it got easy.”(1) Ellen was forced to act like an adult and mature leaving her to practically have no childhood. The only part in the book where Ellen even shows her innocence or the qualities of a child is when she thinks her new foster family’s last name is Foster.

This compares greatly to society today because a lot of parents are absent from their children’s lives whether they are alcoholics, sick, or had the child by mistake. The fact that a ten year old child must take care of their self is a pretty sad thought and shows…

    The Spy Who Came In From The Dust And Good Bye, Lenin !

    The nature of the human condition and a questioning of humanity and human beliefs and values on a political, social and personal level have been explored by a number of texts throughout history. Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, John Le Carre’s The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, Louise Lawrence’s Children of the Dust and Wolfgang Becker’s Good Bye, Lenin! are permeated by a climate of Cold War anxiety, resulting in a heightened level of questioning being reflected in these compositions. Influenced by an underlying sense of fear that characterised the post-bomb period, these composers also question the appropriate ways of thinking that would best result in a society of integrity, amidst a potentially futile struggle for meaning.…
