Personal Narrative: Pawnee, Tennessee
While many people would probably choose to travel to another country, a foreign universe, or something even more extraordinary, there is no place I would rather go than Pawnee, Indiana, despite the fact that it doesn’t really exist. Having been a fan of the television show Parks and Recreation for quite some time now, I can confidently say that Pawnee would be the most exciting place one could go.

Ron’s love for “dangerously large quantities of cholesterol” as well as his disgust with government is what makes him such a funny and relatable character. After all, what is more American than Ron’s love of meat? For our last activity together, Ron Swanson would take me to his cabin in the middle of the forest, where we would spend all day hunting and fishing, two things which I have always loved to do. During our time fishing, Ron would “accidentally” get his baiting hook stuck in my leg, which will not be fun but will allow me to learn how to deal with other people calmly, despite wanting to shout at him for the pain he has caused me. While my idealized day had its downs, despite accidentally getting stabbed with a fishing hook, it is truly a shame that Pawnee, Indiana, isn’t a real place. Perhaps one of these ‘tickets’ will exist in the future so that I can really see Pawnee for myself and be able to experience Pawnee and all of its glory. If there’s anything I have learned
