Yesterday I received a letter of dismissal from DePaul school of nursing. I am aware that my grades have been low for the last two semesters in which I take full responsibility. I write this appeal letter to explain the cause and ask you to please consider reinstating me. I wish to state that my poor grades are not due to low ability or not being able to retain the material.

I will also discuss how this film relates to Laura Mulvey’s concept of the Male Gaze and furthermore, Sigmund Freud’s psychosexual stages of development theory. With her theory of the Male Gaze, it is impossible not to mention Laura…

reason I like LeBron is the energy he brings to the court whenever he checks in. He is known for his big chase down blocks and mesmerizing dunks. Last year in the finals Andre Igoudola was running down the court had a easy layup but LeBron showed great energy and hustle and blocked to set up a victory for the game and to in the NBA finals. In almost every game you can almost count on LeBron to swat some one or too run down the court for an amazing slam. One of the big reasons I like his as well…
