years and identify a place and time at which their lives changed significantly. Whether purposely or accidentally, these are the moments that with our comprehension on how time is ongoing and the collaborating events occurring around us, we are forced to retrospect ourselves and the conditions one lives. Joan Didion’s essay “Goodbye to All That” is a story about her new experiences as a young lady and an adult in New York city. The story began with her arrival to New York and continuous to the point in time where she is in her late twenties. The story covers changes in her life, a result of life choices she made.

to escape from the buzzing chaos of a large family lifestyle. I take my place as the fifth child of my parents. Being the fifth child also means I am the oldest girl and am in the very middle of nine kids. Business and echoing voices are constant at my house. I never seemed to be at rest when in my own home; there was always someone running around. These circumstances caused me to search for new places of serenity. So, with this in mind, I set out in my maroon Jeep and drove, trying to find a…

something great happened here. It would be a disservice to the Island if everything was made brand new with no traces left of what a vessel this place was to the growth of America. Do you need any outdoor space for activities? I 'm not sure outdoor space is necessary. I mean, the weather most times of the year does not permit for much outdoor activities. It could be a nice element in the spring and summer months. I suppose it really depends. Or is indoor space suitable? Indoor space would…
Refusing to “Stay Put” In the passage, “Staying Put,” Scott Russell Sanders encourages people to “stay put”: commit to the given place and stay here during a long time. For this reason, the benefits of “staying put” in a place are that people can make a remarkable devotion to one place, learn more and go deeper about this ground, and “staying put” does not prevent people from recognizing and honoring the diversity of other places, cultures, and ways. However, from my point of view, staying…
“This is a beautiful example of the reality that conscious, awake and aware humans have always been here.” (Gardner) Mark Twain has placed everything very straight forward and clear way about what humans do to other humans. I think the major idea in this piece was telling people how these so-called lower animals can leave together when they are totally different species, but humans being the same species can not leave together or to help each other out just for the sake of doing it.

Through the use of safe spaces, they can cause segregation, but it is okay to have some segregation, as for instance those who have differing opinions and the racially segregated seating in public areas, there is also some construction of self-selection, especially if it aids in the growth of others. The safe spaces on campus are not just for certain students they are open to anyone who feels they need one. Good places on campus that are considered safe areas are the police for theft cases, the…
