My Brother - Personal Narrative My brother is the most influential person in my life. His name is
Jim and he is 21 years old, leaving a 4 year gap in between the two
of us. Most siblings are always quarreling, and never do anything
together. My brother and I are most definitely not like that, we do
everything together. Throughout my life I have modeled to be more
like him, he is not only my older brother but my peer and my role
model.
When I was 5, I would follow my brother around everywhere, I was the
pesky younger brother. I felt the brunt of many a cruel joke that my
brother and his friends would play on me, but throughout all of these
jokes I knew they only did it in fun and I enjoyed it. When they
found that I would laugh at these jokes as much as they did, I was
accepted into that group of friends. My brother would always take me
along when ...
The comparison between siblings has become a universal problem over the past several decades, as implied in Peg Kehret’s elementary monologue, I’m NOT My Brother; I’m Me. Through Jonathan, Kehret expresses the valuable message to never judge people based on the characteristics of their siblings. As the oldest child in my family, I support Kehret’s message and additionally believe that every individual is different and hence, should not be judged or compared with their siblings, family members or friends.

My Brother Malcolm Little was in prison for larceny and breaking and entering. I already knew that Malcolm was eventually going to get caught, I actually prefer for him to get caught because one of these days Malcolm could get killed from hustling. I am the first of out of my eight siblings to enter the Nation of Islam. I have already recruited some of my other siblings to the Nation of Islam and I have also recruited my brother Malcolm who is still in prison. I have talked to Malcolm that in order to join the Nation of Islam, he had to give up his old destructive ways. I also told him to start reading a dictionary so that he would be able to speak in a proper way to the people of Islam. He realized that his education was important. As soon
I was in my basement with my younger brother and my dad. My brother and I were bored so we started to pass a basketball back and forth. All of a sudden the ball hit my brother in the mouth. He flinched and had a look of pain on his face. I saw a tooth come out of his mouth and fly under a shelf. My dad gasped and looked at my and my brother. I was afraid my brother was going to be really mad at me. Luckily my brother doesn’t get hurt easily and he was fine, and actually happy I knocked out his tooth. I was relieved to know I didn’t hurt my brother. The only problem now was to find his tooth. My dad got a flashlight and shined it under the shelf searching for the tooth. Thankfully we found his, although it was very dusty.
For this paper, I have chosen to interview my dad, Lester Everitt, because we have several statuses, both ascribed and achieved, that vary. His ascribed statuses include that fact that he is a 66 year old, white male; these have contributed to his achieved status of completing some college, being married, and being currently retired. Although he is now retired, Lester served 20 years with the United States Air Force, which included several deployments during the Vietnam Conflict, and then worked for 25 years at the North Dakota State Penitentiary until various health issues forced him to retire. When Lester was asked about his “master status” or the one status he feels he is most often regarded as, he struggled to provide an answer. Upon further
The best jokes were taken to Silly and Billy, the two brothers who ruled this small village and they would juice the jokes into drinks and they'd share it with the rest of the town. When people drank the juice, they would laugh. The more they laughed, the more laughing gas was produced, and the laughing gas was used to fuel the town. One day Silly and Billy decided that they wanted the town to be taken seriously, so they locked up all the laugher and jokes in the Serious Safe. After all the silliness was taken away, the village people and the town itself became less lively and more languorous. The more Silly and Billy refused to show any signs of laughter, the colder they became, until eventually their skin became tough like a shell. Now they never laugh or smile at

As children, my brother and I were very close. Well, as close as a brother and sister can be. We played together all of the time, and he always tucked me into bed at night. Sometimes, when I was scared of the dark, he would take all of my stuffed animals and surround me with them. In elementary school, he was very protective of me. He always made sure that no one was ...
Additionally, building this strong brother-to-sister relationship of trust with my own sisters, leads my focus on the members of my family, who has influenced my character more fully than anyone else. My Dad especially is probably my greatest example of all times whose character and integrity really touched me in various ways I could ever imagine. I really admired the way he led our family with great wisdom and counsel which helped me in my hard and difficult times. I only got to spend nineteen years of my life time with him due to his passing away while I was on my mission.
Growing up with two older brothers taught me to be unselfish, patient, and respectful. Being the youngest of three, I learned I would not always get what I wanted. I would have to be patient and wait my turn for a lot of things, such as the telephone and bathroom. I was glad that I was able to grow up with siblings to teach me these lifelong lessons. All three of us had to be respectful of each other or we would risk getting in trouble with my parents.
I notice things that some other people may not notice. One thing I notice is the amount of time he can spend in the garage. On an average day sometime I won’t even see him. He will get home from work then go right out there. One thing my brother does is that he buys old broken down cars and he fixes them up. On his free days he will go to the junk yard and find pieces for his car that way. The thing that 's different about him is that a lot of people just order the part they need online A great thing about my brother is that once he knows what he needs he doesn 't just give up after one day of looking. He stays determined till he finds something that works. Being able to work on a single project for that amount of time really shows that he is very unconventionally focused. Something I can pick out that is differently about my brother is that he 's not just that typical teenager. He doesn’t sit on his phone or watch t.v for hours. If you were looking for my brother you would most likely find him in the garage. To me that 's something I find very cool about
My brother and I have spent half of our lives arguing with each other. We dispute over everything in the world. We quarrel so often that our parents complain home has been very quiet since we studied abroad. Sometimes I feel tired. Sometimes I think my brother is the most hateful person I ever met. Sometimes I wish he never existed. Nevertheless … sometimes, I realize that my life would be insipid without him. I never want to admit this and I know I would regret if my brother ever read these sentimental lines because he would laugh at my face. However, I must say I have learned many things from my brother. He may be perverse, obstinate and sometimes disrespectful, but he is always the one who has taught me to be a persevering person who never abandons her aims.
