This autobiographical incident is great. I cant sort of relate to it because I know myself
that playing the guitar is exciting. I have never played in band before but I am hoping to make a band sometime soon and play
in front of hundreds of people just like Ramón did. This essay shows and tells everything that happened that day. As I was
reading it, I felt that I was there myself. It’s really ironic that his binder ended up in the principles hands and
that he got detention. But luckily he still got to play in the talent show. Playing in front of 300 hundred people must be
very hard. But Ramon did it. Moreover, I loved this autobiographical incident because its what I want to do someday. I want
to be in a band and warp tour around the country making music.
Autobiographical
Incident by Ramon Daluz
I
used to be in a rock band when I was in junior high. That was awesome because
I loved music and I loved to play the guitar. My band and I performed in a talent
show that same year in eighth grade. It was my first time ever to be in front
of 300 people playing so I was really nervous, but in the end it all worked out just fine.
Before all that though, it was a really rough day for me. I got detention
for three days and failed a huge test.
I woke up that morning feeling really excited because I
was going to play in front of a huge crowd. All I thought about was
the talent show and nothing else. I walked to school that morning, noticing that
my backpack was rather light. Then I realized that my binder was missing. I was really worried because I had a stupid song on the cover of it about the Nazis
and the holocaust. When I got to class, my teacher told me to go to the office. I found out that the principal got a hold of the binder and was really offended by
it. He gave me a big lecture on how it’s not funny and can be regarded
as a threat by other cultures. He said “Are you a Nazi, because if you
are then I don’t want you in my school”. I nodded my head and said
“No”. My palms were so sweaty from the nervousness I felt. Then he gave me detention. I told him that I couldn’t make it that day because I had to be at the talent show, so he gave me
two hours detentions for the next three days of my life in exchange of the privilege to play at the show. I was bummed, but at the same time I was relieved because I got to play the show. Plus, my friends would have killed me if I didn't go. After
that I went back to my class and heard nothing but silence. Everyone had their
heads down and their pencils moving. It was a test. And what do you know, I forgot to study. I tried to pass with
what I already had in my head, even though I knew it was no use. Inevitably,
I bombed that test like it was Baghdad.
So
I had to make a few sacrifices to get to play. At least it was for a good cause. It was all for rock and roll!! And chicks.
