Personal Narrative: The Windy City Of Chicago

grew up in Chicago, Illinois, a beautiful city surrounded by violence and controversy by the media. I found things more simple when I was kid growing up here, there wasn't much to worry about but as I got older things became more complex here. The sounds of the " L "' or as you know it as, The Train, and the roaring sounds of cars passing by my house made me feel alive while growing up and as a matter of fact still does. You could wake up in the morning and see the vibrant blue skies being pierced by the skyscrapers and see other kids playing ball or riding their bikes. When it was summer time I would play ins sprinklers or go downtown and play in the fountains with my family. Of course, like most big cities I had to watch my back while growing up because you never knew what somebody was up to. It's weird really growing up here because you never know what's going to happen next , wether it's a good thing or a bad thing. All I can really say about growing up in Chicago is that if I had the chance to redo it, I'd do if a million times.

The pleasures of Rapid City were in my sights when I asked Malory to make the 2-hour trip with me.To begin our trip to Rapid, we would get in my cobalt, and drive to the Dupree Cenex to fill up on snacks, drinks, and gas. Mallory would get Root Beer and Pringles. I would get M&M’s and Cherry Sprite. We would get in the car, after we filled it up with gas, put on our favorite music, and truly start the trip.

When people ask me where I am from and I say Cleveland, they often react as if I had said “vanilla.” But if I say Believeland, they perk up and typically want to hear more.

Today my Hilarious Fiend Jasper and I will be leaving Dupree around 2:00. We will be traveling 2 hours 20 minutes and One Hundred Forty Five miles. To Rapid City South Dakota

Growing up in the Chicago area was a great experience for me, I was always a good kid but I had always struggled in school. The reason that I had a hard time in school was that I had A.D.D which was the cause of my distraction. Entering Pritzker College Prep was a different experience for me because I was overwhelmed, the reason as to why I felt overwhelmed was because of the amount of homework we got. I ended up spending nights where I would do my homework and wouldn’t get a sufficient amount of sleep and would also cause me to fall asleep in class. My grades started to drop which caused me to stop caring in school, so I also decided to just stop doing my homework and it caused a decrease in my grades.

“Dad, I can’t talk, I'm heading out right now,” I said while hugging the phone with my shoulder up to my ear. He told me to be cautious on the roads, considering the blizzard we had just had a few days ago. It was an unusually calm day in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. A perfect day to travel, the snow on the ground glistened as it had just been freshened with a new coat from the light snowfall early this morning. The sun was barely noticeable from the distance as the tip of it lit up the outline of city. It gave the trees a soft glow making it look like there were thousands of microscopic diamonds floating off the branches of the bare trees through the breeze, carrying them across the neighborhood and greeting themselves at the window

In the poem “Chicago” I liked the line that goes as follows, “Come and show me another city with lifted head singing so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning” This line makes the poem change perspectives. As the reader I felt as if he was going to bash the bad things that happen in such a large city. The writer is talking about violence, and poverty in the beginning. Then with this line he shows that he knows about all of this. He is not blind in thinking his city is without faults. To me the speaker sees that there are bad things about the city; he knows of the poverty and violence. He goes on to say that he is proud of his city, he has people sneer at him for loving his city but he stands his ground. He loves his city for all

I stayed there for a yr and I didn't like it, I wanted to go home after one week of me being

Being from a town where there are no skyscrapers and a growing community, I had never experienced the real feeling of being in an actual crowded city. This city is like none I’ve ever been in, I had been in Miami, Atlanta, and Charlotte but those cities were nothing like the city I was about to visit. In October of 2016 my older brother ran into a medical problem causing us to have to visit a doctor that was located hundreds of miles away. From then on we had to travel to Teaneck, NJ, but minutes away from that town was the largest city in the United States which was New York City. I had seen movies, television shows, and news about New York, but I really did not believe there could be a place so full of life, so I was finally getting the chance

From the very start I was an adventurous child. I am always looking for something new to try, something no one else would even think of doing. So, I’m going to take you to the first time I left school. By myself.

How do you describe New York City in other words? I can describe New York City

“My City” is a classical poem used and written by James Weldon Johnson to describe his love for his city, Manhattan. James Weldon Johnson clearly expresses his feelings through his brilliant use of words. His word choice helps personify and create sensory details that successfully create an excellent tone and setting for his perspective on the city of Manhattan. James Weldon Johnson accurately proposed his love for Manhattan through personification, sensory details, paradox, and diction. Body Paragraph:

A city famed for its tourism and love by many, where the skyscrapers stand tall for its bold architecture and the best pizza in the world. That is where it’s at. There is no place like home, the city of Chicago, IL. It’s also known as the windy city. This is where I was born on November 6, 1997. Chicago is a vast city full different things to do. For example, visiting many of the best restaurants in the whole or possibly the whole world. Smelling the pizza straight from the oven will make your mouth water like a water fountain, and seeing the different flavors of pizza that make you wonder “Who was the crazy person that made this.” From Pineapples to exotic pizzas like Macaroni and Cheese Pizza, Buffalo Chicken Pizza Sticks. And; much more types of flavors, however, Chicago is not all about food, it also has its different cultures. Culture is very important when it comes to cities; you will see many different types of Hispanics, African, Italians, Jewish, Chinese, Etc. Cultures have their own ways of tradition and it is very interesting on how they do it. From food,

The world is full of beautiful cities. Some of the best known are Tokyo, London, Paris, and Madrid. My favorite city is New York. New York City is a wild combination of lights and tall buildings that dazzle the imagination and leaves you wanting more. Manhattan is my favorite because it is full of life, bright, and beautiful. In time square, big and dazzling billboards illuminate the overly crowded streets leaving no room for darkness anywhere. With the masses of pedestrians littering the city and a maze of skyscrapers and streets, it can be easy to get lost, and that is exactly what happened in the big, beautiful, and interesting city of New York.

New York City was pulsing with life. Street acts were setting up and vendors were already calling people over to try their food and drinks. Lorelei Locke breathed in the combined smell of grease, gasoline, and garbage that she had grown used to. She was a city girl.
