Personal Narrative: Maple Syrup
“Uh-oh”, said Everett, “Go into the igloo, Frank, an avalanche is coming!” They rushed into the igloo as the snow came rushing down the mountain. So much snow came down in the avalanche that igloo was covered by snow. With limited food and water, bitterness began to grow between them. Frank had all the food, which was some cornmeal and salted pork, so Ruess could only eat if he traded a precious print in exchange.
As the white glitter swirls outside of the water residue stained windows, I shiver at the thought of being outside in this harsh winter. I live in South Dakota, where you can never escape the skin cracking dryness of the biting cold. Our winters are never kind, and I couldn’t imagine living in any harsher conditions. I recently read a book, however, about a man that did. This man suffered through more than just bitter cold.
Throughout life, we all have wished that we could have a do-over. We have done many things we wish we could go back and change. If I could have a do-over, I would join the St. Lawrence County Dairy Promotion sooner than I did. I would have joined four years ago instead of in 2015.
They brought us bread – the usual ration. We threw ourselves upon it. Someone had the idea of appeasing his thirst by eating the snow. As we were not allowed to bend down, everyone took snow off his neighbor's back. A mouthful of bread and a spoonful of snow.
On a cold and blustery November morning, I was walking around the Newberry farm searching for the perfect pumpkin. The farm owner, Mr. Johnson was welcoming and incredibly kind to allow me to wander wherever I wanted to on his farm. While walking, suddenly, I came upon the most perfectly shaped pumpkin. It was big and round and I knew it was Mr. Johnson’s best.
My Michigan Hero I want you to think of someone special, to think of a hero. When I think of a hero I think of my dad. I remember when I was younger, and I didn’t like to read. My dad taught me just how amazing reading is.
Hi Katherine, Thank you so much for taking the time to contact me. Unfortunately, I 'm in a permanent position right now, which has also a lower conmuter time than what Mississauga would represent. I love Mississauga, though.
When I was seventeen I worked at a fast food restaurant called Tim Hortons. It was my second job and I surprisingly didn’t hate it. Actually, I really quite enjoyed the people that I worked with. During school days I would work the evening shift, which was from 2 P.M. to 10 P.M. Then on the weekends I would work in the morning from 6 A.M. to 2 P.M..
I wake up from another one of my bad dreams and look over to see if Sodapop is still asleep. He’s gone. I decided to go see if Darry was home. He is gone too. I am completely alone and I just noticed that it is in the middle of the night.
thought Sammy, “If Grandpappy hadn’t learned about this underground thing there’s no way I would’ve made it through that!” The day was ending, and as the sun went down, Sammy rested in the cool night air. As he relaxed, Sammy thought to himself, “It sure is cold out. Its a good thing my leaves are so sealed tight, otherwise my water might freeze.”
It was an early December morning. The roads were slick with a thin layer of ice. The air was crisp with a winter chill and there was a slight drizzle falling from the sky. I was riding in my dad’s truck to my grandma’s, who babysat me while my parents were at work. My little brother Kaden was also with us.
My name is Bob and I am a maple tree. I hate it when people put dagger-looking things in me. Why do the people need that gold, yellowish, sticky stuff anyway? When someone comes near me, I dump my leaves on them.
The narrator describes the Yukon Territory as 75-degrees below freezing and being a highly treacherous for anyone to travel alone (2).

As the fire grows and the warmth spreads, the snow on a tree falls, knocking out his fire.

I had to go to work again I can 't do it much longer because we are getting less and less money and food. There is a massive famine right now. I had to weave mats and blankets for eight hours straight and for lunch I had a onion and just a tiny piece of bread. When I was done I had to buy food with the five cents I earned for today. I 've bought bread and grain.
The day was just after my brother’s birthday and we had just finished celebrating his birthday. My brother was more surprised, however, by the amount of snow that covered the yards outside. We both awoke to a sight much more impressive than that of December, a white landscape obscuring everything laying on the ground, including the cars.
