I will tell you about my childhood, going on hikes in the "woods" with my brother at a way too early age. Trying to climb trees and rocks, with all the broken bones to show for it. Not the brightest kid at this point, but what I loved was evident at quite an early age. Family and the Forest is what my life revolved around, and then the most influential thing in life threw a curveball. This pitcher was time. I aged along with everything around me, my brother left for college, I entered high school, and my parents had quite the amount of issues at home forcing me to seek solitary within anything that would keep me occupied. Life was meaningless, I fell into a depression that really made me question who I was, and this search came up as empty as searching for my name in google. But then I took a class called Environmental Sciences Honors, followed by Biology Honors, then Biology 2 Honors, then AP Biology, and also AP Language and Composition after I heard that transcendentalism was a large aspect of that

Also, they called him names like Mr. Hook.

In Ethan Frome, the speaker Ethan himself is presented as sort of a tragic hero who lives with a love he will never have. His life is surrounded by a grayness that he is powerless to change because of his obligations, first to his parents, then his wife, then to Mattie. The entire story is about a man who never chased his dreams or indulged in his passions for once, nothing in his life goes the way it ought to.

I have had just one major situation that has sculpted me into the person that I am today.

According to Buckser (1992), the term “lynching” was derived from a Revolutionary War Virginia militia colonel, Charles Lynch. Lynch, at this time, came up with an “unofficial justice system” that punished suspected criminals and thieves through whippings; this later became known as “Lynch’s law”. He also mentions that during the eighteenth and nineteenth century, writers used a form of public humiliation known as charivari (12). These ridicule- based punishments were typically against people who transgressed the community norm. Buckser (1992) also noted that by the 1830s writers began to see a change when the frequency and severity of lynch laws increased. They attributed this increase to the rise

During these years my life was an old television with only three channels: home, school and church; each one being similar to the other with little distinction. Even though my life seemed tedious at times, I learned how to focus, pray and never to give up. In hindsight, I believe my parents raise me in this manner out of fear. I did not grow up in the best of neighborhoods, and my older brother was incarcerated while I was growing up, so I can understand their apprehension. Nevertheless, I had a strong moral foundation to enter the unknown know as college.
Everyone has a story, a pivotal moment in their life that started to mold them into the person they are today and may even continue to mold you to the person that you will become, I just had mine a little bit earlier than others. When I was three years old my brother became a burn survivor. It may seem too early for me to remember, but I could never forget that day. Since then, I have grown, matured and realized that what my family and I went through has been something of a benefit to be and an experience that has helped me in deciding what I want to do with the rest of my life.
It’s hard to imagine all the events that led up to us coming into the world, or at least it is hard for some people. When I think about all my ancestors that had to survive all the things I read about in textbooks, it’s a miracle we are all here. Trying to learn about all the people in my family’s tree was interesting to know how my ancestors came about, what they did, and how long they lived. I learned mostly about my mother’s side of the family who have lived and flourished in Andrews, Texas, where I am from. I haven’t done anything great yet, but I am hoping when my grandchildren have to write about me they have something awesome to write about and will think I did something good with my life.
My whole life I have lived with a single thought in the back of my mind, that thought haunted me sometimes and made me worry about who I might become as a person in the future. I always wondered what I was going to do with my life even when I was young. With the consistent pressure from my parents to work at a young age and to also keep up with my good grades, I began to develop a lot of stress. Through it all, I realized that enjoying time spending time with my friends and sitting on my latest console gaming all day was going to change.
