My mom, dad, my older brother and I all went to the Lonestar Gun Range. When all of us got out of our white Catalac we walked to the small building to get into the gun range so we can get our targets. When we walked in the building I could smell the gun powder in the air. On the counters and walls there were guns, clips and ammunition. All of us walked up to the counter and gave the tall mexican man our entry fee and our money to get our targets I got the one with a deer on it. The rest of them just got the regular targets with the circles in them. When we set the targets up on the wooden platforms and I set mine out on the farthest one the rest of them do not have good eye sight so they put it up close.

When we set them out we loaded

Death Of A Gun-Personal Narrative

...The evening when the neighbour shot our monkey, I became a businessman's body guard. I had seen the scene unfold before my eyes a thousand times since that moment as I rode in the back of the sleek sports car that had saved us. The gun being raised pointing straight towards my chest, the inability to react, the sound as the gun went off. I had braced myself waiting to feel the impact as the bullet tore into my chest. I had briefly wondered if it would hurt I had heard you don’t feel the pain straight away, perhaps I would die without feeling anything at all, when suddenly a blur of fur and screeching obscured my vision of the psychotic neighbour intent on bringing about my demise. As time had resumed its natural course and my body unfroze I...

Personal Narrative: Shooting A Gun

...In this moment, I am not afraid. It doesn’t matter that the barrel of a gun is pointed towards me. It doesn’t matter that the man holding that gun is promising that he will shoot me if he has to, if I don’t cooperate. It doesn’t matter that I am the only one standing between this man’s weapon and my best friend. I am not afraid. Of course, being bulletproof might have something to do with my newfound bravery. The man is still raving, but his words are only noise to me. I don’t think he really wants to shoot the gun, either, or he would have done it by now instead of talking about it so much. Maybe this man isn’t a killer. Maybe he’s not ready for the consequences becoming a murderer would have him face. To make his decision easier, I grab...

...“He’s getting a gun!” How many people can say that their mom openly screamed about the possibility of getting murdered? I didn’t think that I’d be among this miniscule group, but here I am. “Did you have fun?” my mom, who is about as brave as a mouse, questioned me. The reason she’s asking me, and not trying to discuss with me, is pretty obvious. My mom is a total, and utter scaredy cat. We just finished swimming with dolphins, or in my mom’s case, recording us swimming with dolphins. “Us” being my dad and I. He’s the complete opposite of my mom. He does anything and everything.

Personal Narrative: The Epidemic Of Gun Violence

...Gun violence is an epidemic and very prominent in our community. Every time I turn on the news, another breaking story about an individual being shot is on the air. There are several times where someone injured or even killed was innocent and simply was in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is unacceptable, and something needs to be done above. Everyone deserves a chance at life, and this opportunity should not be taken away from them by a bullet. I unfortunately had to deal with this personally when my cousin was shot while he was in the area. At the time, he was a newly enlisted Marine coming back into town to witness the birth of his child. He was so excited to be back with him family, but unfortunately things became out of his control,...

Personal Narrative: Ender Wiggin's Gun

...It was a massacre. Although lives had been taken so quickly, the scene before me unfolded in slow motion. I looked out of the window and up towards the sky. The clouds of my buggers in their ships intermingled with the clouds of the atmosphere in a billowing mass of nothingness. As they battled for survival, I felt the racing hearts of my children standing at the end of Ender Wiggin’s gun. We had a deep admiration and respect for Ender, for he was such a strong leader and soldier. We didn’t wish to kill him or the humans, but above our sympathy for others was the bond between our brothers, sisters, and children. Our race had to fight to stay alive; the humans wanted to exterminate us. Fighting back was the only solution. Ender, however, was...

Personal Narrative: The Moment Before A Gun

...The moment before the gun goes off, there is a steady silence. I can feel the increase of my heartbeat. My palms are sweaty. I take three steps back from the line and wait for the sound of a gunshot. The wait seems long. The gun goes off and I place my left foot forward and suddenly I am doing what I know best. I have been running for as long as I can remember. When I was a toddler, I spent my church nursery days, running around in circles, as the other children chased me. They eventually stopped from exhaustion, but I carried on, fascinated with the act of running.

"Dream Time" by Randall E.Auxier Summary

...firstly explaining the idea of mementoes and totems. A “totem” is an object that the characters in this film keep with them in real life and in the dream world. It is identified as something unique, heavy and that only the owner is allowed to handle. Its purpose is to provide the dream-invaders a way of knowing whether they are in the dream world or in reality. If a totem is expected to fall, or operate in a certain way, then any change in this indicates that you are in a dream. Most importantly, Auxier says that this serves as “a point of connection between what you’re experiencing within yourself (beliefs, perceptions, assumptions) and the way the world really is.” (Auxier, 282) The idea of a “totem” allows for continuity of time in the narrative, it acts as a guide when discontinuities are found. Furthermore, both films attempt to explore the same problem, the continuity and discontinuity in our experience, and how discontinuity affects our ability to know the truth about the world we live in. Between the time passing and the way we experience it, lies a gap; however this is where memory comes into play. Memory is the way we see our world (through our past experiences) therefore we carry it around everywhere we go, and with every new experience, we use memory as a point of reference. Our past...

Men or Children

...Name: Tutor: Course: Date: Men or Children? The gangster is a fictional story written by Colson Whitehead in 2008. It is a short story about African- American teenagers and its setting is in Sag Harbor, in 1985. The story begins with a question, “When did you get out?” The opening question emphasizes the title of the story on a particular notion to the reader. In the fictional story, the gangster, Benji and Reggie are twin brothers of ten months apart. They grew up together inseparably in every aspect. It was common for them to be seen together and when they were not, people always question them on where the other is. High school and puberty brought the difference between them physically. They would be seen away from each other severally, and they even looked different physically with Benji being skinny while Reggie looked chubby. Benji and Reggie are brought up in an upper middle class family, and their parents own a beach house in Sag harbor where they go to during the summers. In the summer of 1985, Benji was 15 years old, and Reggie was 14 years old. During the summer when the whole family left for their beach house, the boys would be left alone for some time when their parents went back to the city to work during the weekdays. Benji and Reggie are described, in the story, as Siamese twins when they were young, describing their inseparable nature. This is clearly brought out by the language used as quoted “Where is the surgeon, who is gifted enough to...
