Type 4 – A spirited soul If you are a spiritual person, take a look at the law of attraction principles. Commit yourself to exploring all the ways you can use it. Go to a yoga class and meditate. There’s nothing to lose, you can only feel better. Type 5 – A realist If on the other hand, you stand firmly on the ground, that doesn’t stop you from seeing things from a brighter angle. One of the dangers of being a realistic person is becoming a pessimist. Don’t let it be you. Maybe it’s one of your…
the plebeians as he addresses them in their own language. Yet Brutus’s oratory is brief and lacks emotion via his bid to detach the two conjoining concepts of Caesar as the leader of Rome, instead hoping to isolate Caesar’s death by focusing on his love of Rome and his sacrifice for the people. Thus despite winning the fickle crowd over, his argument is not substantial enough to keep the crowd loyal throughout Anthony’s…
The past 21 years that I have been alive, our nation has experienced both racial progression and digression. On November 8th, 2016 when Donald Trump became the president of the United States, I realized that as an African-American my ideological perspective would be a combination of a Black Nationalist and a Radical Egalitarian. Today I am going to argue that there are characteristics from both ideologies that are vital to African-Americans racial progression. I will do this by giving you…

families and friends, I would like to thank you all for giving me the honour of speaking at our commencement ceremony. As I stand before you today and look upon the 400+ students of my own graduating class I must confess something. While I would love to stand here and reminisce over all the pleasant experiences we shared together, from sports games, to spirit assemblies, to academic activities, cracking some jokes along the way, the truth is that any such action would feel disingenuous and…
Prologue Amikah Delgard sat at her dining room table in the soundless hours beyond midnight with a bottle of rum in her hand. She stared at the sheathed katana sitting on two rusted nails on the wall. Amikah often awoke at night, drawn to the old weapon. She had taken the curved sword to the market several times to sell but always turned home halfway. Amikah reached across the table and took the katana from its resting place. Her left hand grabbed the hilt while she held the cherrybark sheath…
When you reach out to a hurting person with unconditional love and encouragement, you help make the pain bearable or less painful. The intensity of the negative feelings such as anger, bitterness, frustration or sarcasm that are often experienced by a hurting person is often decreased when unconditional love is experienced. This includes a non-judgemental attitude as judging an injured person may deepen his or her pain, especially…
readers, we generally assume that the Oceania government is to blame for such restrictions; however, the people willingly gave up individuality in fear of being different. In order to progressively reform everyone, the adults had to start with the most moldable minds. Children do not have as much exposure as the adults do and are not as opinionated nor informed. Therefore, it is easier to get them to believe that showcasing individuality is the crux of abnormality. They easily adapt to this…
fainted. The whole village was roused; some fled, some attacked me, until, grievously bruised by stones and many other kinds of missile weapons, I escaped to the open country…” (90). These interactions gave the creature a clear idea about how focused…
they make the Democrat party illegal and close down every liberal media in the US, throwing in jail anyone who openly spoke out against the government. The crazy story actually happened, not very long ago, in Brazil - a country that was living the most progressive moment of its history up until that moment. The military took over the Brazilian government in 1964, and with the conservative regime came…
