I saw how happy it made my mom when I attended church with her every Sunday morning but as I got older, I became less interested in attending church. I was constantly surrounded by kids at my school whose parents allowed them to stay home every Sunday. I decided to not attend church to feel accepted by my peers but when I did that, I felt unhappy and unsure of who I was. My own experiences can relate to that of Meeka in the reading “Journey by the Inner Light” when she struggles to understand the significance of her hair and how it gave her a sense of safety, strength and respect.…

    It's Too Easy To Make The Easy Choice The most simplistic quote that proves true of the argument is “easy choices, hard life. Hard choices, easy life”(Jerzy Gregorek). Within the short stories Totem written by Thomas King and A Perfect Day For Bananafish written by J.D. Salinger a truth within humanity is shown. The story Totem takes place in a museum in Alberta and the totem poles are making sounds that are annoying to the people in the museum so they displace the totem poles.

    Misunderstandings and a lacking of cultural appreciation have caused many to fall into a misconception over the Middle East. With mass media only broadcasting the negative stories of the Middle East, a land of beauty, culture, and morality has been painted as a land of terror, destruction and anger from those who do not wish to understand the “why” behind it all. The three variables I believe impacted the Middle Eastern societies was first, the spread of Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Second being the migration of western imperialism in the Middle East, in which the British wanted to control the Middle East for selfish reasons. Finally, the Palestinian and Israeli conflict that started after the retreat of western imperialism, as well as…
