Humans, animals, technology, and this planet, are constantly changing and adapting to their surroundings. Life goes on despite the extent of the change, just as the train represents time moving non stop past the tree, that represents life in the movie. The film Powaqqatsi by Godfrey Reggio, displays great change over time to the new industry that erodes the traditional ways of several countries. Transitioning from a slow motion opening scene to a rapid ending pace, the film uses facial…

Identity and its flexibility Everyday our minds change and develop. One will go through a series of life altering events, and not only will these events be life changing, but they will be identity changing as well. Ones identity is flexible and changes constantly. Change can be slight or change can be major, but identity is never fixed. We, as individuals, choose how to create our identity. That does not necessarily mean that we have many different identities, but they change as life changes.…

“We know very well who we are….. But we don’t feel like outsiders at all.”( New Americana, Halsey) As a teenage girl I have constantly gone through small phases of feeling far from anything but myself. At the beginning of freshman year I just wanted to fit in, and I believed dressing in preppy clothes like Lilly Pulitzer and Lauren James guaranteed me popularity among my newest peers. It was my first year at PCA, and that shallow person I became afforded me many surface level friends. But that…

One person can do something so small for someone and make their whole life change. No one realizes how much one little thing can do to change someone’s mood. You don’t have to have a lot of influence. You really just need to have faith in your power to change things. Always be kind, because you never know what some people are going through or what they have been through in the past. Making one single person smile can change their world. One person can truly make a difference. There are a lot of…

I chose The Legend of the Teddy Bear by Frank Murphy as the book I authenticated. According to the application “Epic” this book is an eight to ten year old reading level for students reading by themselves. This picture book tells the story of our 26th president and how his trip to hunt bears in Mississippi turned out to become the starting point of making teddy bears for children. I focused on some of the five main points that the authors of “Authenticating Historical Fiction: Rationale and…

After reflecting over my lifetime, I have decided that I am not the same person today, that I was one, five, or ten years ago. I have not made radical changes and most of me is still the same, but there have been changes that are noticeable. One year ago I struggled with my need to please people. I had a fear of disappointing the people I care about and it was a constant stressor for me. I have worked to counteract this part of myself. Finally, I feel free of that burden and don’t have to worry…

Far away in a big city, a besuited man idly tapped his fingers on the inside of the door of the limousine he rode in, the driver focusing intently on seeing his employer safely and swiftly to his destination. On the surface, it was simply another wealthy person being chauffeured to some private business, beyond the concern of the working class. And even beyond the surface, in some ways that's exactly what it was; the physical embodiment of Greed, known to some as Mammon and others as Arthur…

Have you ever watched someone come into therapy, a self-help group, or a 12 step meeting looking like they’re defeated, their spirits broken? Their suffering is obvious, and their desire for help even more apparent. After their first session, they leave and go back to their lives, shaken by their effort. We see them again; they seem a little more comfortable. They have found a sponsor, or program that they attend regularly. They still won't meet our glance, but they nod their heads in…

It’s the big gigantic apelike creature that lurks outside your abode at night while you sleep. It's hairy and scary. It’s the legend of the Bigfoot. Bigfoot is an abnormal creature who is said to lurk in the forests. Bigfoot normally stays hidden very well out of the human eye. People have started to put together groups to find Bigfoot and hunt him down. This scary hair raising legend started to make a name for itself in the late nineteen fifties. People claim to have seen Bigfoot through trees…
