A Perilous Journey-Personal Narrative A perilous journey; the perfect phrase to describe my entire eighteen year life. As far back as I can recall, I have been running into numerous trials and tribulations that had to be resolved before I was able to progress further.

My achievement of becoming literate in both English and Spanish, after overcoming a myriad of obstacles distinguishes my literacy history. Writing was one of the things I didn’t like to do as a child. I always thought writing was a waste of time and that I wasn’t going to need it in life. Even though I didn’t invest much time writing, I was one of the best writers in all my classes, probably because I was very dedicated in the other subjects and I loved reading adventure books. I learned how to read
All I could remember on my journey to literacy was my concern over my brother and sister’s ability to read and write including solving math problems. That did not really motivate not to become literate; I was extremely playful as a child. What I am able to remember is my first day of school, I cried like a baby when my mom dropped me off. I soon began to grow out of my baby stage and school became really interesting. Even though it was not as hard as it is now, the value that pushed me to be literate
My story starts like many others around this world; unfortunately being raised in a poor situation. I grew up in a single parent family, with my five other siblings. From a very young age, I was determined to succeed at any goal I ever dreamt of. Seeing my mother struggle inspired me to work hard and go after what I wanted in life.

Voltaire’s Candide, and Gronniosaw’s A Narrative of James Albert Ukawsaw Gronniosow were both written in the 1700’s. Whilst Gronniosaw’s A Narrative frames Gronniosaws life story in the prose genre of a spiritual autobiography, depicting his personal experience of slavery into a redemptive journey from darkness and despair to light and salvation. Candide or Optimism is a philosophical satirical novel that ingeniously shakes the misinterpretation of doctrinal optimism. This assignment will firstly
Frederick Douglass’ journey from slave to freed man is infamous for its influence in the abolition movements during the 1800’s. In his narrative, Douglass uses the appeal of ethos in order to establish his stance on the issue of slavery. In addition to that, he uses many of his own personal experiences to not only reveal the hard life of a slave, but to also show that at the time, he had his own thoughts and beliefs about the injustices around him. This shows the audience that slaves are capable
