“Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and blind can see” (Twain). For many years people in society have discriminated against a person who has a different life: different color, different gender, different beliefs, different cultures, and different morals. Mark Twain was known to be one of the greatest writers of all time but he was also quite a revolutionist. Through his writing he conveys a common ideal in order to enlighten his audience and help them recognize what equality is.…

Who is God for you? Ever since I was young, I was taught to go to school and at the end of the night to pray to God. So that’s what I did; I tried my hardest to get good grades in school and pray to God at night. Both of my parents are Christians. In fact most, if not all, of my family are Christians. So I was raised in a Christian household. I’ve been going to a catholic school since first grade. Personally I don’t think my faith is as strong as I want it to be and I never noticed how low my…

this determines where we end up eternally. At 50 years of age my beliefs, values, and truth have solidified I know now through many ups and downs with my life experiences, my belief in God gives me hope that the good I see in the world is genuine and the bad I see can work out for good. I know now that though I can thankfully compare my childhood up bringing to some of my favorite childhood television sitcoms that lifestyle was idealized and not the norm and not a reachable standard. Life…

People have events that change their lives every day; it’s not a statement but a fact. When thinking about the events that have shaped and influenced my life, I could only think of one event. The event that changed my life the most was when I almost lost my life because I did not listen to my friends and family. Learning to trust others judgment is vital especially when it comes to medical help. Having a mind open to criticism and advice can ultimately make someone a better person, and when…

When the honeymoon is over sometimes life can get you down. If the person you love has broken the vows that you believed in strongly, it can be hard to bounce back. Although you may be feeling like the world is over, and life cannot possibly go on, I’m here to tell you it can. Life is hard. Marriage is hard. Getting over infidelity is hard, but it is possible. Every situation is different, but these steps might help and if they don’t it might be time to move on. Firstly, if you happen to find…

Secondly, another poetic device that Kendrick Lamar uses in his song is irony. Irony is when an event occurs in which is unexpected in the sense that it is somehow in mocking opposition in what would be expected or appropriate. When Kendrick Lamar uses irony, it is in a very serious and thought provoking way. For example, in line 63 the speaker says, “Cause you tried to change your life and now you live in a wheelchair.” This line is ironic because it talks about how someone tried to change…

It’s late start and I am sleeping in for the second time in my entire highschool career. When I wake up, I grab my wallet to pay for my breakfast at Mr. Bagel. Down in the kitchen, I put my boots on to leave. Before I could get my foot out the door, I hear my father in the basement moaning in pain. My dad is a construction worker who gets up at four in the morning for work and gets home around five at night. He never misses a day of work, or gets sick. Seeing his car in our driveway at this time…

Life is full of opportunities and experiences. Sometimes to explore those opportunities or experiences it is necessary to have changes in our lives. For many people a change can be difficult because they like the way they live their life, but for other people it can be exciting because they feel tired of doing the same routine every day. I experienced a change when I moved to the United States. It was a difficult change for me, but at the same time I was excited to explore new opportunities in…

The day I enter middle school, everything changed. Transition between elementary school and middle school was a big leap for me. In elementary school, I knew everyone and everyone knew me. But the moment I enter middle school, I saw people classifying themselves into a group. Happy Valley Middle School had more kids than the elementary school. The atmosphere overwhelmed me. I could hear shoes squeaking as people try to meet up with their friends or to walk to their classroom. Left and right, I…
