Personal Narrative-It's Time To Pay For A Car

467 Words2 Pages

I have been looking for a vehicle for several months now. All I had to do was wait for my brother to pay me from babysitting during the summer before I could officially pick out a vehicle. When my brother finally paid me two weeks ago I was excited because that meant that I wouldn’t have to be driven around by my mom or have her permission to borrow her car to go somewhere. When I get the vehicle I want in the right price range then I will have just enough money left over to get insurance and tags and gas for about a month or two. However, I will not have enough money just on hand to pay for gas all the time which means I would need a job which I have been looking for too. The only problem with getting a job is staying on track with my homework …show more content…

She wants me to buy a phone and pay for the phone bill every month which pretty much takes all my money away from my car. She said, “You are going to have to get a job so you can pay for your phone and gas for your car, but I don’t want you to get a job because it will take time away from your homework. I do not want you to get a vehicle before a phone because I do not trust you driving by yourself or without any way to contact me or your dad.” So, basically my mom thinks I should get a job so I can pay gas for my vehicle and pay for a phone, which I am happy without, but doesn’t want me to get a phone, job, or vehicle because she wants me to graduate first. I kind of understand what she is getting at but she is constantly changing her mind from wanting me to get a job and vehicle to not even letting me out of the house because she thinks not letting me do anything will make me do more of my work. In all reality it won’t because I work great under pressure and when I’m forced to be home I’m not pressured at all and do whatever I want, but if I had to worry about keeping a job, pay for a phone every month, pay for a car and other necessities every day of my life, and get my education done then I will be pressured enough to get them all

This essay will analyze how the work of Chuck Close greatly influenced me in relation to my drawing as I was inspired by the expressive nature of the fingerprint portraits. Also, how exploring Close’s artworks and underlying meaning of his works caused me to question the meaning I wanted to portray in my drawing which therefore caused me to come up with my final theme that is Surplus of Individuals, Scarcity of Presence. Chuck close believes that the human face is a symbol for the roadmap of a person’s life as it tells the journey that one has been on. Close suffers from a condition known as face blindness- this causes him to forget the faces he has seen unless they are in a two dimensional form; this is one of his main influences for making portraits as it enables him to remember the faces of the most

When I was a bit younger I used to envy guys that had awesome cars. From Mustangs and Beamers, to Range Rovers and Gelandewagens. In my extremely narrow frame of mind at the time, I felt that if I acquired an elite vehicle, then I would reach a state of fulfillment and happiness. At least this is what was pumped into my head through a constant deluge of television and magazine advertisements.

We all make the same choice which is to work. Without income there would be nothing to study for because we wouldn’t be able to stay in school. As a result, many grades suffer including my own.
