Benjamin Franklins Autobiography


            A good writer should have the ability to be aware of his or her surroundings. This skill can be applied to writing and to everyday life. A writer must be able to analyze and evaluate all the aspects of his life. Storytelling is a precious talent. .
             These writing that I have composed are all stories of my ability to be aware or unaware of my surroundings. They are tales about interaction with other people and places. Through this process, I have been able to examine myself. I began to investigate how others might perceive me and how I perceive others. .
             I find myself typical, falling into common stereotypes. I am the typical girl who loves to shop. I paint my nails pink and carry designer bags while I am out on the town. I am the typical writer, constantly over analyzing things, asking myself questions like "why does the world work this way?" .
             I am also the typical college student who is broke with hardly any money. I am tired from working a late shift the night before. I also wish this day was over already so I could go to bed. .
             I am the typical Italian who eats pasta on Sundays at 4 in the afternoon. I vacation in Italy during the summer to visit family and I know what homemade sauce really tastes like. .
             I find myself falling into all these typical stereotypes very easily. These are all labels that others and myself have attached to my name. I can hear people say "Oh, how typical of her- All of this is already expected of me, from me. .
             I began to notice how important appearances are as others began to stereotype mine. Many people claim that appearances mean little, however, I disagree. They are basically how we judge people. When we see someone for the first time, before they have spoken a word, we make assumptions and accusations based on appearance alone. .
             One might say "that girl drives a Mercedes so she must be a snob" or "he is dirty so he must be poor." These are characteristics are assume a person carries just by the way they present themselves.
