Personal Narrative: The Heavy Mushroom
Nothing! I just wanted to go to the Heavy Mushrooms concert with my friends, but no worries it's too late now. Why can't you go. I grounded. Well why are you grounded. I snuck out of the house, and I wasn't aloud out. Well there's nothing I can help you with if it's too late. So Charlie grabs his can and floats away. Twenty minutes later I get a phone call that my parent have been ran off the road by a semi and did not survive. So I pack mine and my brothers bag, and open the cookie jar. Taped to the lid is six hundred dollars, so I grab it and put it in my pocket. Then I catch a cab to go pick up my brother from his friend's house. Then go from Missouri to Texas.
Five years later I am now eighteen and my brother is fourteen. I get a job as

    After 7 months of searching, we had finally found the location of the sixteenth artifact for our collection. After piecing together all of the stories and legends, we finally found a bit of truth. The Vial Of Fire was an ancient weapon that was said to be created by the Egyptians. In their time it was a medicine designed to give someone the ability to ignite in flames for a small amount of time, and was used mostly for cauterizing wounds of friends injured while building the pyramids. We had already found The Vial of Strength, and the The Vial of Speed from the same time period. Each of these vials had the last remaining ounces of the immensely powerful potions that made it possible for humans to make the pyramids on their own. After…

    The wind whirled wildly through the gum leaves, kookaburras sang joyful songs. The cattle grazed in the kangaroo grass, with the Willy Wagtails feasting on the fleas doing the cattle a favor. Strong smells of the damped ground lingered around; the sun laid low in the sky. The night was setting in to be a cold one; winter had never set in so early as this season. The old horseman laid up against the fallen silky oak. Best horseman anyone had ever seen, they said that he was a horse whisperer. He was heading towards the cattle station, everyone wanted to have a glimpse of him.…

    Just like most civilized people I dislike bugs. Actually I really hate them! Just thinking about them gets me all itchy and uncomfortable, and yet one summer evening I would find myself sticking my hands right into their dark slimy lair.

    In Defense of Food was quite shocking at first. In all honesty, it made me think I was going to die within the next week due to a heart attack triggered by all the junk I eat. Considering I myself indulge in processed cookies from the aisles of Stop and Shop, and steak tips that have been marinating in salt for two days, the film hit close to home. But in all honesty, I don’t eat that bad; in comparison to the Seventh-Day Adventists I do, but I think I’m doing alright.…

    Even though I wasn’t your typical toddler, how could I have been so stupid? I may have been an utterly curious rug rat, maybe even more. However, once an idea popped up in my pint size brain it stayed there….Until I tried it. Most things weren't terrible. They were just average ideas that most toddlers think of. Just like they say in the commercials, “Kids discover the world with their mouths.” Another example of this is like biting the table because its looks like a humongous cookie. In most cases this was true. In my case, it was a little more extreme.…

    Mommy made me leave all my toys, because she said it wouldn’t be enough room in the car. But she did say I could put on my best church dress, my favorite coat and my patent leather shoes I got from grandma for Christmas. When I asked daddy if we were coming back all he could say was no and then I would hear him mutter some bad words. Now we are stuck here on the side of the road waiting for my dad to finish cooking a disgusting can of baked beans.…

    Over the summer, my parents and I took a rousing vacation to Northern Alaska. As a young girl, I always yearned to visit Alaska and viewing its vast mountain range and nonpareil wildlife. As there wasn’t much opportunity to see that in the monotonous New Jersey. I have always considered hiking and viewing natural pulchritude as a form of merriment. Case in point, my father and I hiked in the Grand Canyon, approximately three years ago , feeling like diminutive ants astray in the colossal canyon. Likewise, last year my parents and I hiked the foothills of Yellow Stone National Park, our shoes strewed with desiccated sand that were deprived of water. We missed the gargantuan canyon and the repugnant odor of sulfur from the geysers. I immensely enjoyed the hiking we did in Alaska. Nevertheless, what caused me to be aghast in reverence occurred near the beginning of the 2nd day of my trip. As an illustration, my parents and I were traipsing in front of our cottage early…

    Hiromi Goto’s Chorus of Mushrooms is an immigration narrative documenting the experiences of three generations of Japanese Canadian women both in Canada and abroad. Goto’s story offers a glimpse into the lives of the Canadian immigrants namely, Naoe, her daughter Keiko and her granddaughter Murasaki along with their successes and failures at cultural integration. Although some believe rejecting their cultural past would provide for a better existence, others feel absolutely incapable of separating themselves from it from the very start. Language, diet and lifestyle serve as forms of cultural expression. In her novel, Goto argues that neither through self-assimilation nor by repression of their roots will Canadian immigrants successfully integrate, but ultimately an embrace of both their past and new Canadian culture will lead them to an empowered coexistence.…

    It’s midnight and as I expected, a black Ford F-150 Truck with tinted windows pulls up to my house. I walk outside holding a backpack with my portable speakers and a baseball bat. However, I quickly change my mind and leave the baseball bat inside the house. I hop into the back seat of the truck and am greeted by four large burly kids. “What’s up Matt?” says Ben who is sitting in the drivers seat. With music blasting, Ben takes off the parking brake and presses his foot down onto the gas pedal. Soon we are heading down dark winding roads as we listen to music from Captain Murphy, which contributes to our mischievous mood. Finally we arrive.…

    Just entering high school I was finally starting to become actually close to my brother. He is five years older than I am, so we were just starting to transition from the sibling-rivalry stage to the civilized relationship that a brother and sister develop when they realize that no matter what family will always be there until the very end. Our conversations had just started to expand from “nice face, loser” to “hey, you want to catch a bite to eat?” That was not the only impact that my brother had on who I was and what I was to base this life on for the rest of my being.…
