Running Head: MY CULTURAL My Cultural Autobiography Nancy Domanski Sir Frances Bacon said‚ “If a man be gracious to strangers‚ it shows that he is a citizen of the world‚ and his heart is no island cut off from other islands‚ but a continent that joins them‚” (Jenkins‚ 1994). This quote represents all the core values that I cherish and to which I adhere. Personal culture doesn’t have to be linked to a certain country of origin or a specific ethnicity; it can be as simple as a person’s

The Ransom of Red Chief is one of my favorite O. Henry stories. Always the master of comic irony‚ Henry is at the top of his form in this story of two incompetent would-be kidnappers‚ Sam Howard and Bill Driscoll.

As I entered into this world I never truly examined the purpose of music or the reason for its existence. According to the Oxford dictionary‚ music is a vocal or instrumental sound combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form‚ harmony‚ and expressions of emotion. How amazing is that something so simple can be so magnificent that it can even affect us emotionally? As I reflect on the life of my own‚ I am beginning to realize that there is something special about music. What’s amazing about

The Ransom of Red Chief The story of "The Ransom of Red Chief" is a very ironic story because the author‚ O. Henry‚ turns the expectations of the audience around by making them feel sorry for the kidnappers‚ not the so-called victim. "Red Cheif" is a nine-year-old child who is very hyperactive. He loves to be out doing something anywhere. When the two kidnappers try to lure the boy into their car‚ he throws a brick‚ which is very unexpected from a child‚ and he then accepts to go with them. He
