John used to live in a small secluded cottage located in a rural countryside. But now, he has just moved into New York City and has difficulty adapting to a new city lifestyle. Part of the reason why he has difficulty transitioning himself is because he lacked his rules of etiquette (he never really needed it since he was secluded from others). Luckily, he has just found himself to be the winner of a sponsorship ticket. This ticket promotes him to help out the mayor of New York City for three…

In history, freedom was, and to some people today is, defined by one's race, and/or one’s gender, and/or the amount of control one has. By having these definitions, for centuries, people have broke out into war, worked, sweat, and did many more things to gain their freedom. Yet, freedom has many different genres, for example: civil rights, human rights, women's rights, writers, and humanitarians. Gandhi, Rosa Parks, and Malala Yousafzai are a few people who have fought for freedom.We learned…

The plot of Pleasantville is expressed through the very essence of radical change and revolution. This “coming of age” is explicitly demonstrated throughout the duration of both stories through four particular individuals seeking change for everybody including themselves. The figures of cause and effect, change, and self-expression are very important in shaping the plot of revolution. David‘s fascination with Pleasantville is rooted in the simplicity and happiness that he longs for in real…

Alternatively, the Cutter All Night Mermen are each unique, and don’t fit the typical athlete mold. T.J. is the only member of the team that has any swimming background. When he was thirteen he “qualified for the Junior Olympics in two swimming events” (7). Despite this, even T.J. isn’t become just another “jock”; he constantly bucks the system at school instead of simply going along with it. Coach Simet puts T.J. in charge of recruiting the rest of the team. His first recruit is Chris Coughlin.…

Most people think that this world had freedom since the beginning of time. That the world had always lived under the wealthy and best of gods because people always thought that gods had strategy and always won. People believed that once the gods fought their last battle between them and Apep, the world had peace. These people didn’t live to be as old as me. I saw when the world had freedom and it isn’t all glorious. There were two sides at that time. The gods were on one side. The Glorious…

Most sports movies have similar story lines: an athlete faces some challenge, they sacrifice and work harder, and they come out better from it. These stories are ones of victory and success, the moral being that the sacrifices are always worth it in the end. But is this always true? Are all of the injuries, sleep deprivation, and lack of time for healthy relationships worth it later on in life? Competitive sports cause a lot of strain on long term athletes physically and mentally. Though they…

I have many cats, 6 of them to be exact, and I have always noticed a pecking order to them. I have always wanted to know the exact order they fall into. I have set up a Singer sewing machine box, it's a big rectangular box, max capacity in the box is two cats at the most, if they want to share. In this observation I will take 2 hours to watch them dominate this box and see who will take over the box entirely. This observation will help determine the top cat in my household. From oldest cat to…

There are many things that provoke people to change. People can change in an instant and people can change gradually. Some people may think change is impossible, but it isn’t. People can change if they meet friends who show them another side that they didn’t know or you can change because you saw something on television. The world around you can promote you to change in ways you didn’t think was possible. Seeing someone who doesn’t have as much as you can cause you to help them. When changing…

Have you ever felt so passionately about helping people or so determined to protest on what you believe is right, that you never want to give up? Have you ever felt so angry that most people will never know about the men, women and children that are suffering in the world, and that the miniscule amount of people who do know, and that are trying to help, really can’t make much of an impact? Romeo Dallaire was so determined to help the suffering in Rwanda 1994, that he didn’t stop until he made a…

Little Pieces My little fingers wrapped around my dad's, and his heartwarming smile reassured me that one day, I would become somebody. It's quite crazy, that when you're young- nothing seems to have meaning. You run up and down, sideways and backwards all over the place ,left and right, yet you never realize who you are or what each moment means. As I grow older, the flame in my heart is set ablaze, the passion and immensity of my dreams tackles me down. The pursuit of happiness and the…
