Experience essays

The paper presents synthesis of two essays; the school days of an Indian girl and College in New York with the major reading being the day the narrator set out to go to College in New York. The experiences and challenges faced by the authors in their new environment are very horrible however; they ultimately attain self-realization or overcome them. In the beginning, the narrator while headed to College in New York seems to be carried away by every bit of the thought of the experiences she would encounter. The experience is vividly captured when she says that she felt like a pilgrim set to find New World.

The narrator in the first story captures that even though there was cold from the ice, she was trembled by fear. The experience is quite same even in real life situations, whereby individuals are always scared of their new environments especially when they have little information about their new homes.

Additionally, the first encounters with friends in the foreign lands seem to be annoying in both cases. For instance, the narrator in the first story remembers being gripped by two firm hands of a woman who had paleface. The narrator finds herself in a confused situation being handled in a manner that frightened her. She could not imagine this handling and could not even relate to the way her mother treated her or even handled her.  However, the second narrator finds ambience l environment in her college.
