Go-Fish: Critiquing A Personal Friendship

Decent Essays
I think it's safe to say that expressing my over-reactive senses to the most peculiar of scenarios could present well if I succeed in a hand of "Go-Fish". In other words, I am essentially enthusiastic 24 hours a day, seven days a week, no matter the occasion.
I also seem to have acquired a habit of propagating this idea of natural humor across a general audience, so don't aspire to begin a personal vendetta against my antics when I comment comically about a failure experienced on a final exam, it only means I value your friendship.
I'm also an extremely persistent person. If I see just a pair of briefs on the floor, not in a designated clothing pile for laundry, you'd better believe I will hunt down the lobe of your ear, drag it back to the

    Faux Friendship by William Deresiewicz was most effective at persuading his audience. Deresiewicz added strong diction directed to his audience, used his own personal examples, and made a claim that didn’t directly relate to his audience. Because Faux Friendship was originally written for The Chronicles of Higher Education, he uses terms better suited for educated people. He compares professional-networking, “cleaning the jungle gym of professional contacts in order to advance your career,” to social-networking.…

    I knew Red Lobster was a bad option. I wanted to go to Outback Steakhouse, but mom had her way, even on MY high school graduation. I was stuck, sitting in the booth, waitress staring at me for 15, 16, 17 seconds now. Sitting in my cap and gown, she asked again – “where are you going to college?” I’d prefer the Bloomin’ Onion to this any day of the week.…

I have to admit that I felt awful when I watched Jane Elliott's experiments. She was such a mean teacher in that video. I felt like if I was one of her students, I would throw all the things whatever it was in my hand to her face and left.…

    Upon completing interview one and two, I surmise that interviewing is not as easy as it appears. Whether it be asking questions to a stranger, friend, or a family member, there are still levels of discomfort because my role changes. I am no longer their friend who can talk in a causal manner, I have to contemplate and decide what questions to ask and how to prevent boundary violations. With friends and family, I often do not perceive this and conversations are more lenient. It was difficult to provide reflection without sounding hypercritical or appearing apathetic.…

    Quadre Short Story

    “Quadre” I’ve always loved children, and I am under the impression that the feeling is mutual, especially in my work in the church nursery, mentor programs, summer camps, and a volunteer trip to an African orphanage this summer. I like kids, particularly younger ones, because they are straight-forward; unconcerned with things like status, appearance, and reality; and have the best senses of humor by accident. Quadre, a young boy I met while volunteering at a school, was no exception to those qualities, and he was especially unique for a few more. He had a knack for getting into trouble and was clearly the class clown, but unlike his peers, Quadre did not like me. Despite my best efforts to show him love and befriend him, he wasn’t having it.…
