A Different World

All things considered, today was, to abridge, tiring. What's more, miserable. I stay here, writing in this diary at the foot of Jem's bed, viewing over him as he dozes, his rest gradually helping his arm to recuperate, now that Dr. Reynolds has gauzed it. Thinking back judiciously and sensibly, I feel no lament for my activities - in helping Tom Robinson, or in the way I've brought up my youngsters - I just feel an unfolding compassion and disillusionment for the man who had, looking in context,…

society forgets. Giving kids freedom does not necessarily mean you are not being a good parent, kids as she said do not have a limit to thing they still dream big bigger than adults do. As she said, adults are the one that made the problems, like war world 2, age does not matter. As a adult people mature more they realize they are some dreams that are impossible, but as a kid this thing do not happen because they do not thing of what is impossible but just in the dream they have and love.

In John Gardner’s novel, Grendel, he makes it clear right from the beginning that Grendel is just some confused and curious creature. Or is he? It is obvious that in this novel, Grendel is just a character made to capture our pity. He is an estranged individual who just desires to be a part of something. This desire, of longing to be a part of something, is the reason for his many evil actions. “I believed him. Such was the power of the Shaper’s harp! Stood wriggling my face, letting…

put to the test. Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to yet another episode of _________________. As always, I’m your host Britney O’Brien and together we will delve deeper into this very compelling, yet intriguing human condition. During World War One it was not uncommon to stumble upon true acts of heroism and courage; but on the other hand, nor was it uncommon to find poems which inspired these soldiers. Two prime examples of this sense of responsibility can be…

what they believe in. A hero is someone who is selfless, thinks of others before themselves, and had made a significant impact in history. These individuals perform extraordinary deeds, and make sacrifices for others. Most heroes believe that the world can always change for the better.

One of the parts that make up a worldview is the notion of identity, or rather, answering the question of “who am I in relation to my world?” The Biblical account of creation states that “God created man in His own image.” (Genesis 1:27 HCSB) Christians, therefore, identify as being created by God in his own image. This belief is a part of the doctrine, or set of beliefs beld by a group of people, of Christianity. According to Everyday Theology, some principles of this truth that are explained…

are in a hunt to get the loved one; we fight for him or her; we have big expectations, and we are excited. Once we have whom we want next to us, we can feel the gratification of being loved, the satisfaction of the kill. However, both feelings are different and cannot be simultaneously experienced. Therefore, we will never get what we…

On days off, I am busy traveling to other worlds. My morning starts with the the lapping waves of Homer’s wine-dark sea. At lunch, I picnic in the shady groves of Virgil’s Elysian fields, and in the afternoon, I watch the sun set in Orwell’s eerie dystopia. My desire to explore isn’t limited to literary universes, however. It runs deep into my academic pursuits, from humanities to science. I am drawn to Cornell’s College of Arts and Sciences because it offers me the perfect environment to…

this way. You feel like it’s your fault. People judge appearances, it happens… but not like this. Not like this at all, all of who you are should not be judged by the first glance or second. We are not equal. We are far from it. We come into this world all the same, and leave from the same door. Mirrors will show each one of our reflections, mirrors show how diverse we are. Mirrors don’t show how people are treated. People should be treated how mirrors reflect, exactly as we are. Nothing more,…

me out of that dark hole, but he has lead me down a path since then that I would never have imagined. Having lived a life of hope for many years, I always knew I could do anything I put my mind too. Little did I know, that one person would enter my world and literally drag me down into anger, fear, and self-loathing. I do not want this to be a bashing session on my ex-husband Jeff,…
