Amber You 're one of a kind and that 's what makes you special. You are a touchy feely type of girl and at the beginning i was like "why the hell is she like this" but after Disney and Virginia, we have never been closer. Never change who you are. Never change for a guy or for your friends. Because i know that you 're wonderful just the way you are. One of my favorite memory of us is when we would run during drills and I would hit your ass or vice versa. The reason why it 's one of my favorite…

We agree, this is not the manner in which one should conduct oneself. What she is putting everyone through is wrong. Marrying a stranger is a ridiculous and dangerous thought. It could bring a long list of problems.” Consuelo’s heart bled when she implored “But think of Mauricio. He brought himself a ring and a tuxedo. He is prepared to stand at the altar Saturday. Instead he will have to be dropped off at the nut house.” Sol felt her angst, “We have thought about him. But, in the end she will…

What makes life matter is a very debatable subject. Which is more important legacy, god, or wisdom/virtue? Personally, legacy is most important in my life. I believe leaving positive impacts behind for my family and others to be inspired by would make my life complete. My view on legacy is similar to the movie The Pursuit of Happyness. This movie portrays a story of a poor father, his son and the father’s struggle for success as a stockbroker. His one ultimate goal was to be remembered by his…

We live in a society that follows the traits that are often old enough for the current situation and we have the kind of nature by which we try to follow what the majority of the population does. Sometime it is the pressure from the mass which lets us to oppose our own judgement of a certain case that we have different perception about. It may not matter what society we live in, as we humans always tend to have similar way of thinking in all aspects of life. In “The Lottery” by Chris Abani, he…

My Life as a Teen Mom I belong to a crowd of young, strong, independent teen moms. What does a “Teen Mom” actually mean? It’s a term that people occasionally bash us, teen moms, with. Most of the outside population blame us for being a teen mom because they say we ruined our lives and will never have a successful future. Some may say that a teen mom is just someone who gets pregnant and has a baby at a really young age. That 's not even close to what a teen mom actually is. There 's so much…

“Koen?” Mr. Blume, my sixth grade teacher read off the roll sheet. “Here!” Koen said as he raised his hand. It was the first day of my sixth grade year. I was sitting straight up in my desk while wearing my brand new school clothes. My mom had curled my hair for this special occasion, and I was even allowed to wear a bit of mascara on my eyes. “Mia?” Mr. Blume read. Another girl sitting across the room from me had perked up, and her and I simultaneously shouted, “Here!” “Mia Aicher?” Mr.…

Eye Contact: Men and Women Do men make more or less eye contact then women? For my hypothesis I would say men make less eye contact then women from my observations in past experiences. Women make the most eye contact from also my past experiences. Men tend to drift off more. Women tend to keep steady contact to keep importance of the conversation. Men get distracted easier which makes it harder to focus into the eyes. Women pay close attention because their eyes show more emotion…

We had very few soccer games during our season due to the lack of sign ups. Our second to last game of the season was today and the girls and I had heard the other team was tough. That night I eagerly ran into the soccer field and already saw about ten girls from the other team there. They did not seem tough to me just intimidating. Not all the girls on my team had gotten to the field except for Kassie and me. We were waiting for the others when we noticed a bus pull into the parking lot. More…

In a Hero of Our Time, predestination emerges as a theme near the end of the story. The end of the story leaves the reader wondering if there is anything other than predestination. The story follows this young man named Pechorin. Pechorin lives a life very different than a “normal” person. He is both emotionally smart and foolish. The thing that striked me the most is Pechorin’s fate. When he was a young boy, his mother was told that he would “die through a bad wife” (p.123). Pechorin never…

When one is asked to think of their idea of a monster, they usually come up with something along the lines of no emotions, no remorse, and pure disgust. On the contrary, two prominent novels in literature, Grendel by John Gardner and Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, claim that monsters can indeed show emotions and the ability to reason as a normal human being. Both novels introduce a physically hideous monster on the outside, isolated from the rest of the world. These two creatures are shown to…
