In the book “The Naked Roommate” by Harlan Cohen there are five tips that I could take out and apply to my life about my own health. The first of the five tips is “Freshman 15, or um 45”, I can apply this to my life because it applies to my weight. Being able to control my eating at my house where there aren't multiple fast food restaurants and an all you can eat buffet at Larson's commons was a lot easier than college. It can be hard to control myself from the temptations, but when I notice myself gaining weight it makes it a lot easier to want to go exercise and eat healthy. The second tip that can apply to me is “The student body image”, because body image is something that is very important to me.…
For Borlaug Day we were in a barn, so we decided to do discussion outside of the barn and the obstacles within the barn to make sure students were moving around. As students went to the stations, we made sure to walk around and prompt students with questions or ideas to get them thinking. In addition, we…
After reading the story of the ‘’Killings’’ by Andre Dubus and watching the movie ‘’In the Bedroom’’, by Todd Field there are some differences between the movie and the reading. The story takes place in Boston, Massachusetts. I believe the filmmaker wants to show us different things that can happen in a film or a reading. During the film, I noticed there were some differences in the movie and the reading. Some of the differences was how Matt, Frank’s father and the ex-Richard channel their anger into destruction in the reading.…

Of course our parents always tell us that we should be careful not to stain our carpets with anything, and that is where I made my mistake. I was sitting in my room bored with nothing to do. May I remind you that this is not a good thing for a seven year old to be doing.…
Daddy's Roommate written and illustrated by Michael Willhoite is a controversial children's book that was put on the list of the 100 most challenged books from 1990-1999 with the American Library Association. The audience is introduced to a young boy whose parents are divorced and addresses the relationship between his father and his "roommate" Frank who live together.

The text doesn't directly state his father and Frank are a couple, but referring to Frank as "his roommate" implies they are in a committed relationship.…

In a piece of literature, point of view and perspective of the main characters is critical. In her novel Room, author Emma Donoghue decides to tell the story of a couple trapped inside a “four by four box” through the lens of a five year old boy named Jack.

The initial setting in this parable is rather nondescript. Jesus, the author, mentions a king (Matt 22:2), which evokes images of a palace and/or a throne room. As the author does not offer much more information beyond this, it is best not to read too much into this setting, but we can make a few observations. In the Old Testament, there are a number of stories wherein a king gives orders to his servants from his throne room. Pharaoh gives Joseph charge of his kingdom in his throne room (Gen 41:14-40).…
Room by Emma Donoghue is a dramatic novel focusing on the lives of Ma and Jack. The author explores the idea that physical confinement is not the only form of imprisonment. Donoghue relates to wider ideas of imprisonment, such as the responsibilities of motherhood, social expectations and mentality. Characterization, motif, symbolism, theme, narrative perspective, imagery, and allusion are all manipulated effectively within the text to explore different forms of imprisonment. The views shown relate to current society, thus allowing readers to interpret Donoghues intentions as familiar.…

One may or not make the same choices as back then, but they look are looked back upon on. Today is different and we don’t have the same standards or rules as them, but the same results happen.…

T-shirt or shirt, jean or pant, tie or no tie, these are among the hardest decisions to make. Some students tend to like being dressed up, despite the fact that they are just going to a regular school day. They ought to wear fancy clothes, colorful dresses, in which they need to check once or twice inside the closet until they have their preference, ending up being late to school. As the saying goes, rather than paying our time looking at our wardrobe, we can literally put on the school uniform to save time, dressed formally just like their peers. Indeed, in comparison to regular school uniform, those luxurious clothes are much more expensive.…
