Personal Narrative-Urging
A couple of days latter I found myself dialoguing with him via text message. I exchanged texts with him while working, on and off for an entire day. There was no attempt on his part at flirtation, suggestion, or trying to negotiate the boundary that I put in place. I wondered if I was giving him mixed message since in fact I was not being clear with him. He did put his toe in the water in terms of starting a flirtation, though it was after I accidentally gave him an opening. I referred to myself as a blunt straightforward vixen, not afraid to speak her mind, for which he responded
“WOW, we are going to get along REALLY well”
“I am starting to be open to this possibility” This was the only neon green light he needed to be convinced that he

    Starship Troopers Analysis

    For my paper I decided to take a look at two movies that I highly enjoy watching Starship Troopers and Pride and compare and contrast them with a theory that we have learned this semester. I chose these films not only for their stark differences in plot, but for more importantly the various ways male characters are depicted in these films. I will be analyzing the bulk of male characters in each of these movies through the eyes of the masculine theory. As you know the masculine theory deals with the various ways that male roles are depicting in the film and sometimes can even be used to see how woman are depicted in films if they are depicted in a masculine way. When analyzing a film this way you need to look at how males are represented in…

    We met over sharing our (negative) opinions of an extracurricular we were both in. We got coffee and let loose about how we felt being in this activity, where we felt it was going and that smoothly led into talking about a problem she was having in another friendship. I was happy to listen. Our communication is mostly expressive talk, with very little of it being instrumental talk. For example, when deciding to hang out, it is usually heavy with messages showing a want for time spent together because of how we value one another’s friendship. After that is established, making plans takes very little time or energy. Once we are together, the task or activity at hand is often forgotten altogether as we talk. In conversation, there is little to no interrupting and a lot of validations. We are very affectionate towards one another, sometimes verbally but mostly nonverbally with things like hugging and pats on the back and things like that. In this relationship, it seems that our similar values and emphases strengthen and enhance the…

My mother has been through pretty much everything a person can go through outside of war and was still able to be there and provide for all 6 of her kids. In high school, my mother wanted to play football and couldn't because she was a girl and back-in-the-day women were not allowed to play football with the guys. However, she remained strong by raising 6 kids and independently took care of all of us on her own. My mother has several qualities that I would love to develop. The first quality she has is balance; she certainly knows how to make…

    After my second year in high school, I made a decision that would turn out to be life changing. This decision wasn’t life changing in the way that getting married or going to college would be, but I really learned a lot about myself that summer. What I’m about to tell you is what happened when I switched from Marching Band to Football. I will explain to you why this switch was such a big deal to me and what I learned about myself from it. Switching from Marching Band to Football after my Sophomore year of high school changed the way I saw myself because I found I have a strong enough will to follow my heart despite controversy with others, I have a strong desire to be in control of my life, and I have an aggressive side that had not shown itself before.…

    As I was writing my personal narrative for my composition 1 class, it easily made my mind boggle. After I had got started on my personal narrative, it was easy for me to keep writing and keep following along the story line. The main strength of mine that the essay played to was my creativity and my flexibility for different writings, because I have never written an essay as serious and sad as this one, but I did have to add my happy ending when I finished the story. I wanted it to be very attention grabbing with a twist, but I also wanted it to be very emotional.…

    Football has always been a big part of my life. As a young boy I would day dream of making insane touchdowns, making tackles that would leave man stuck in the ground, and even winning the heisman trophy. In 7th grade I had begged my mother endlessly to sign me up for pee wee football because she would always worry about the risks of football. After finally getting her to sign me up, we went straight into the season. I chose to play running back because as a 12-year-old I was remarkably fast having timed 5.3 in the 40 yard-dash. After a few weeks in the season we approached the playoffs and found out our opponent for the first round of the playoffs were the jaguars who were undefeated. Our team didn’t have the best chemistry on…

    Like most, my Fifth grade year was supposed to be awesome; it was the last year before I was finally able to go to Ben Franklin, the giant School whose football and baseball fields I had played on for years, just waiting for the time I could show I was good enough to play for their City Championship teams. But when I look back on that year that had so much promise, it didn’t go as I had thought, and ended up being one of the hardest of my life, both mentally and physically.…
