Rheorical Analysis Essay-I AM BECAUSE...

In this essay, I found it very hard to truthfully describe myself, I know how I am but we tend to want to describe ourselves on how people see us. It took me a while to get started, but when I did, I noticed I had a lot to say about myself. Writing this paper, it made me realize a lot of things that was going on in my childhood. As I continued to write, it was like my anger was screaming out for help. The way how people wanted me to be and act, I accepted that role, without my own identity. I wanted myself to be perfect and everything around me. So, at times I found it hard to fail, and when I did, I beat myself up about it. But now, I learned that it’s ok to fail and it helps you to be a better person so you can learn from your mistakes. Like they always say “practice makes perfect. So if you don’t get it the first time it’s ok to keep trying until you do.Our personality is a reflection of our childhood experiences and environment. When you’re brought up a certain way it’s very hard to change that demeanor about yourself. Sometimes it’s not good to change because you might turn into somebody totally different, but if changing ourselves will make us better, that is what we have to do. When you write, you can learn a lot about yourself like I did.

My Favorite Vacation

What a beautiful picture I thought to myself. Mexico, this was my husband’s and I vacation spot/honeymoon. When we first got married in 2002, my husband and I did not go on a honeymoon because both of us were too involved with the work of the military, so we did not have time to go on one. So after five years and 2 kids, we decided to go. We really needed this vacation. We were stressed, burned out and tired. So, we decided to sacrifice some things that we needed to take care of, and this was ourselves. We needed to get away and have fun and relax without any kids. We stayed up late and woke up at anytime without having to worry about any children around. We had an all-inclusive hotel, everything included, breakfast, lunch and dinner when we wanted. This trip was so lovely that we did not want to come back home. It felt so good to get away at times, just both of us. Right now I'm thinking it’s time for another vacation.

Metamorphosis

When I first heard this name, I was thinking about some ugly creature. As I analyzed this word, I realized that it’s about a change that someone or something is going through. I didn’t want to read this story because it’s not something I would usually read, I’m not into those science-fiction books. When I started reading it, I didn’t start from the beginning because it was so long and I was not interested in reading it at all. But in order for me to understand what we would discuss in class, I had to read it. I did not like this story, it didn’t make any sense to me at first, then when I read on I was understanding the story a little bit more. Metamorphosis is a story about a boy named Gregor, who went to sleep and woke up as a bug. Turning into a bug did not bother him, it was missing work that was bothering him. His family was so dependent on him for everything that all he could think about was missing that day from work and wondering how his family was going to manage without him. After he turned into the bug, they treated him so badly. They didn’t think about all the times he went to work to bring home the money so they could have a better life. Sometimes people take things for granted, not realizing what they have in front of them until it’s gone. That’s what happened in this story, at the end, they noticed everything had changed drastically.
