Cultural Narrative: Who Am I? Part I: In some ways I guess you could say I am not very cultured‚ in that sense there is not a wide variety of cultural influences around me. With that being said‚ my family still has a large assortment of different traditions we do from decorating the tree at Christmas to going up to my grandparents house for Thanksgiving and making the same dishes every year. The area I live in is just not very diverse‚ it never has been. I live in Alpharetta‚ Georgia where the majority

I am an abnormal person (most of the time in a good way.) My personality is eccentric‚ along with my hobbies and skills. Much of my life is aberrant from beginning to end. The only thing that is boring is my name‚ Taylor‚ which my parents happily gave me. Surprisingly enough‚ I was not named after anyone‚ which I find very uninteresting. Taylor was originally a surname meaning “tailor‚” but someone in England was so unoriginal that they decided to name their child a surname. I was born in 2002‚ making

Why I am Proud to Serve Ever since the day someone has started school‚ he or she has been serving their country. People have been getting an education and allowing another generation of people to start where others have left off. By getting an education‚ a carpenter will be replaced by a carpenter‚ a lawyer will be replaced by a lawyer‚ and a candidate to be president will step forward. Getting an education in my opinion is the most vital part of serving this country. Without it there would

seven great “I AM” statements of Jesus‚ each one used to give insight into His person‚ His deity‚ and how He relates to God in the OT. “Seven times John records Jesus saying‚ ‘I am…‚’ attaching it to a metaphor. These seven statements give special insight into who Christ claimed to be…He was identifying Himself with Jehovah of the Old Testament”. The “I AM” statement that I will be focusing on is “I AM the true vine”. Jesus says this in John 15:1 “I AM the true vine‚ and My Father is

A Man I Am by Stevie Smith (1902-1971) In less than a page‚ this poem instantly recognizable as the work of its utterly unique author sketches the process of man s evolution from a primitive‚ violent‚ wolf-like state to true‚ spiritually-conscious humanity. The process is at the same time a movement from hate (line 1) to joy (in the penultimate line). The three verse paragraphs describe‚ in order‚ the wolflike state‚ the evolution itself‚ and finally the evolved state in which man began to feel human

I am Lycon‚ I was born in Athens in 460 BCE into a family of sophisticated middle class individuals. I don’t like to think of myself as the best‚ but the Athenian community consider my family to be one of the more fortunate families in society. I have had a great deal of experience with that reprobate of a man that we call Socrates. I am here today with my fellow accusers‚ Meletus and Anytus‚ to prove that Socrates is guilty. I feel that Athens would be a much better place if Socrates were put

In the documentary “I am not Your Negro” directed by Raoul Peck‚ the most memorable moment for me is the section focuses on integration at American public school. It is difficult for me to believe that many people march on the street only because an African American girl is going to school with the white kids‚ and I feel really angry and shocked when people are saying things like “when a negro child walk into the school‚ all decent parents should take their white children out of the broken school”
