Personal Narrative: My Two-Week Costuming Experiment
My two-week costuming experiment began when I went to Wal-Mart to find some supplies. I remember heading to the overwhelming selection of fabric for the first time. I picked out a few yards a silky red fabric and a thicker purple one. I also bought a plethora of other supplies.
I started patterning by taking a long-sleeved shirt and placing it on some ancient craft paper that kept on curling. I traced the shirt and hastily drew some hem lines on the tunic and sleeve patterns.
I used the same patterning method for other parts of my costume, but with more patience. My mom worked the sewing machine.
I constantly tried to figure out how to make rocks that hung around my neck. I tried to use clay over styrofoam, but the rocks turned out too

    Personal Narrative: Dress Blues

    I remember that it hurt. It was if someone struck all the air out of my lungs. I tried with all of my might to breathe but it seemed as if I were incapable.I looked for something, anything to hold onto for support. Everyone watched in horror as I sank to the ground and the sob that was stuck in my throat escaped. I was feeling emotions I never felt before, that I didn’t know existed. The two Marines in Dress Blues who stood at attention looked on, their faces mostly emotionless, except their eyes which were filled with pity as they said they were sorry for my loss. My best friend rushed over the office to wrap her arms around my shoulders. The only way she could hold me seeing as I was on my knees crying into my hands. I could feel her sympathy,…

    Personal Narrative: My Tripod Program

    When I started the first grade, I was lucky enough to be placed in what was coined the tripod program. In this program were deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing students in the same class. I was in the program throughout my years in k-12. In elementary school all my teachers would Sim-com, and once I got to 6th grade we had interpreters. Being 7 years old when I started the program, I was able to sponge up the signs rather quickly.…

    Personal Narrative: My Role Play

    Role playing for me is very anxiety inducing. I am not a good public speaker and I hate it when all the attention is on me. I am an introvert to the core. Going into the role play I was nervous and uncomfortable and was anticipating a challenging experience. After seeing the other role plays I knew that the topic I would cover would not be an easy one, but honestly in life when in life are topics ever easy?…

    Cultural Appropriation Of Halloween

    In its modernity, Halloween is the only day out of the entire year where a person is encouraged to be someone wildly different from themselves, with (almost) no negative repercussions. Thus, people tend to outdo themselves when it comes to crafting their "persona" for the night, taking much of their inspiration from movies, video games, the news, and even Internet memes to build the greatest costumes.…

    The Failure Of The Reconstruction Era

    The reconstruction era of 19th Century provided a platform for the civil rights movement that followed in the 20th Century and created history. The aim of the reconstruction plan was to provide economic and racial equality to all the American citizens by abolishing slavery and ensuring the basic human rights to all citizens. However, due to the social and political structure of the period, many were skeptical of these policies and so the reconstruction program failed. Nevertheless, the spirit of freedom still lived among the blacks and so the failure of reconstruction plans inspired them even more to speak up for their rights which in turn resulted in the civil rights movement that followed during the 1950s and 1960s. Reconstruction gave the black people a taste of freedom which they never had before and this gave them hopes of a better future. With the failure of the reconstruction plans their hopes were once again dismissed. And perhaps this gave them determination to fight those who were opposed to their freedom.…

    Personal Narrative: Unrealistic Images Of Myself

    I agree with you Jessica on having unrealistic images of yourself and the difference between looking a certain way and feeling a certain way. Cultural identity is a big deal to teenage girls because it projects her identity based on a certain groups that she associates with (Matlin, 2012, p. 124). In high school I was in the group of misfits, that happen to be mainly boys, and we had friends in other groups but we did not fit in anywhere else. Even though I projected an image of not caring about what others thought of me, I still felt I was fat and when I looked in the mirror, I saw myself as fat. I look back now and I was at an ideal weight then but currently I still think and feel I am obese. I am reminded by the doctor during every checkup…

    Personal Narrative: The Artificial Skin

    It was a regular Saturday morning, I was browsing through the day’s newspaper, the news entitled ‘Acid attack survivors’ grabbed my attention and I ended up reading the whole news. And as my thoughts were with the victims, two facts the cutting edge technology at this point of time laid forward stroke in my mind. First, how it gave the victims new lives and second, how the survivors could have their burned areas concealed with the artificial skin which to some extent restored their beauty and confidence too. But, what exactly was the artificial skin? The question kept on haunting me every now and then. Not to mention, I had never heard about the so called artificial skin before that instance. Well, I could not wait but find out what truly is…

    Personal Narrative: Uncanny

    Uncanny... If I was looking for own only word to describe my past life. Father and mother, of course, were the foundation of my being. Bur, in what way? By giving me labels that I am force to carry even today. I do not blame them as they attend to their way of acting ethically. Later on I have discovered that some labels were not supposed to present me to the world. Therefore, I renounced them. Always dissented with the status quo of the time, I was looking for some sort of comfort discovering something without words: music. That was my ailment and the tentative remedy for the time that I have to pass during this life. This was my pathos. The embryonic values of the time were carried out without warning, and we were blind and deaf... we just…

    alkaram

    The Group has its origins in the early 1900s when it started the trade of grains and oil in the subcontinent. Entrepreneurial skills and acumen have always been the driving force behind the success of the Group. Based in Karachi, the Alkaram Group has unfolded its vision of growth and established its multifaceted concerns countrywide and abroad. Following opportunities in the newly created state of Pakistan, the Group flourished in the fields of textiles, F & B, salt mining, hospitality, trading and distribution.

Soon the Group became the largest business family of the country by creating the most modern textile units that went on to become household names of the country.…
