A Different World

the world was different than the small part I belonged to. Even as I got older and learned more, I would often forget that my world was not somebody else’s. I loved learning about other countries cultures, religions, languages, and daily lives. To me it was a way to put myself in someone else’s shoes, it was like reading a book of a whole other world. It was attractive to me to learn about other’s lives, to see what was ordinary to them, to see how shocking my world was to them as their world…

am at peace and feeling as happy as I can be. Another spot would be at this certain river where there’s a really tall rock by a bridge that go to, mostly during the night, and I just lay on the rock and stare at the night sky while I listen to the world going on around me. It is even better if I have pizza. That is true bliss. One place I know that definitely stands out the most where I am perfectly content, happy, stress and carefree. That place is the Coronado beach in California. That beach…

This world is strange. There are more than seven billion people living on the different corners of the earth with different ways of life and different customs and beliefs. Different people value different things. Why? Because of culture and traditions established for thousand years ago by their ancestors helping connect individuals and communities through specific things. Belonging to a culture can provide individuals with an easy way to connect with people they share the same traditions and…

not what you imagined as a child. As a child the world seemed perfect and that all people were good. With time the world became strange, and not the same place I remembered as kid. Adulthood is when life became hard to deal with, and it still is. In my twenty-eight years of life, I discovered many things about the world and it has affected my life tremendously. The first few years of my life the world was more wonderful than it is now. The world was exciting to me and life was great then. At…

In many religions, each one has a story of the first humans, Adam and Eve, who characterizes the human species and their nature. Many creation stories have different point of views of humans created in the world and tell people about being human and the nature of humans. In some societies, each one…

human mind. The term “Losing one's innocence” has been largely discussed around the world and it can be interpreted in a multitude of ways. Some may take it as having new understanding of the world when some may attribute it to having experienced something that may change the way we see the world. Some examples may be when a child experiences such as the loss of a loved one which makes them realize that the world is not as happy as it may seem to them as a naïve child. Whichever way the term is…

completely new look at the world we live in, or a competently new world in itself and then slowly we use what we know and what we don’t and piece together from the text what is happening in the world we are reading about. This idea is discussed in Darko Suvin’s definition of science fiction. I see this definition really corresponding with The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin. The novum is this entirely new world we are presented and getting the occupants of this world to join in an…

Reading an interesting book is one of the greatest experiences anyone can partake in, but reading is not an experience that everyone…

In the poem “Did I Miss Anything?” by Tom Wayman, the point of view illustrates the theme that the world doesn’t revolve around anyone, and it isn’t going to stop anytime soon. Throughout the poem Wayman uses a first person point of view with contrasting stanzas to convey a feeling of sarcasm through the narrator’s, presumably a teacher’s, point of view. There are two sections to the stanzas, Nothing and Everything. In each there is an extreme reply to the question “Did I Miss Anything?”. At the…
