Simultaneous Truths Zadie Smith’s “speaking in Tongues” intensely explores the ability to embody more than one voice. Originally a lecture following the inauguration of Barack Obama, Smith compares the then President-Elect to historical figures who share his “irreducible multiplicity” (12). As a biracial man who has lived in multiple states and countries, Obama has the gift to speak to and identify with many different people. Throughout this text, Smith wavers in deciding whether it is…

The creation of the Keystone XL Pipeline is an issue that has become the subject of national debate for the past couple of years. On one hand, there are those that believe it should be built because of its economic benefits. On the other hand, there are those who are against its creation because of the environmental damage it could cause and the communities it could ruin. Because of how divided people are over its creation, President Barack Obama has had to address the issue several times as…

This essay is about looking at the picture and describing only the things I see. Not only that, I have to also tell what really happen in the three pictures make sure they link together and see how I can relate John Wideman’s story in mines with quotes. I have chosen three pictures one of me standing in the hallway of my room, a picture of my room, and a picture of my TV and hallway. In these three picture there is a story behind all of them describing what I was about to do. In picture one it…

There is no such thing as a perfect world. Everyday decisions and sacrifices are made from the moment one wakes up to the second they fall asleep. But some sacrifices in life may be for the love of someone else other than one’s self, whether it be giving up your personal free time, letting go of a personal item for the greater good, or even to risk your life for the well-being of someone else. Either way, choices are made by everyone whether it be for themselves or for others. Thus sometimes…

It’s A Small World It’s the summer before my seventh birthday and I am invincible. It’s my first time at Disneyworld and everything is perfect. I am with my entire family, my sister, mother, and father. My heart flutters and I feel a surge of excitement. The ferry carrying us from the parking lot towards the magical kingdom is finally getting close to that iconic castle that I have seen so many times on TV. It is easy to forget we are riding a boat across a small lake that separates this…

After our discussion last week I went home, reflected on how I was handling this internship and decided to make a change. I want to make a difference not only by helping create a more positive life for someone but I want to help emotionally. I will not always be with Beatrice so I want her to have a good standing with herself. My goal is to help her see her value and strength so in the future she knows she can handle any obstacle that comes her way. I created two slideshows; one contained…

I wake up warmer than I usually do today. I open my eyes but all I see is darkness. As I start to sit up the darkness falls away little by little. When I am finally up I examine what caused the darkness. I look around and recognize the street I’m on. A blanket lays beside me which seemed to have been on my head. I also notice where the warmth was coming from; a human is sitting beside me. His eyes are closed, and I decide it would be best to leave if I don’t want to be beaten. Something I…

“C’mon do it, or you’re a chicken.” Those were the words that started the disaster. Now Bill and Joe find themselves fleeing for their lives. It all started on a rather bitter day of August, when the clouds blotted out all sunlight. Down in the small town of Edgar, a group of children are chatting. “Man, just our luck to live near that old insane asylum!” “Ahh, it’s nothing to worry about, it's been abandoned for over 20 years” said a boy about 13 years of age, who goes by Joe. “Well, if it's…

It was a dark gloomy night, rain drips slowly down my window as I awake in the hospital bed. I didn’t know how or why I was there, I tried calling the nurse. But no one answered, I didn’t know what was happening. The last thing I remembered was me and my partner getting shot at, trying to lock up a criminal for robbing a local gas station. I unhooked the machines from my arm, and tried to push open the door. But for some reason it wouldn’t even budge, after pushing the door with everything I had…
