A Little Bit Longer

defiance are driven by a want for freedom. She wants the the option of choice. To her, “such moments are possibilities, tiny peepholes” (Atwood 21). The moments allow her to see more of what’s actually going on while giving her more choice. She steals little things like butter and sugar, she hides a match underneath her mattress, she even meets with Nick to have sex, all of which are her choices, but she never stands up for herself. She does not speak up when Janine is blamed for her gang-rape,…

deer dropped as soon as the shot landed. I was overwhelmed with joy and passion. I was rewarded with the joy of a fun trip and a large amount of delicious deer sausage. The hunting trip showed me that if you want to be rewarded, you must have a little bit of patience. Today when I do not feel like waiting for something, I recall my first hunting trip and the lesson it taught me about…

be good enough. When I got to ninth grade I tried out for the soccer team and did not make the first cut. I could not run for 20 minutes straight, I was in no condition. I was a little bit over weight as well. So, the next year I decided I would do cross country to enhance my condition and would be able to run for a longer period. I remember one of my teammate named Karla was my supporter. We would run together she would push me to keep up with her pace. We worked hard and had long hours of…

America could lose its global power if they don’t get back into space. I know that NASA just shut down manned missions due to budget cuts, and if we don’t go back to space, the U.S. will seem weak. This could cause war, and make more budget issues. However, if they start sending more people to space the U.S. will have more debt, and might be unprepared when a war occurs. The U.S. should go to space because almost all of the countries the U.S. has been competing with have access to space, and…

Bob may be at a buddy’s house watching the football game and calls his wife and says that work is running a little late. But this would be a totally different story if Bob, who has moved from friends to girlfriends, started being questioned by his wife. At this point, he would make her feel guilty and start belittling her by saying that she’s crazy, in…

Recently I’ve been thinking quite a bit about identity. Partially due to our discussions regarding it in class but also because of the part of my life I’m in. This is my second month of Freshman year and I have no idea where I fit into all of this. I feel like I’ve spent my whole life building an identity expecting it to be done by now. However, I am beginning to realize just how far I have to go and how excited I am to start. With this new objective in mind, I decided to take this class as a…

what happens in it?” The ‘Merry Widow Killer’ is on the loose and the only one who can stop him is in constant turmoil with her morals and that of the killers! Thornton Wilder contaminates an innocent, peaceful Santa Rosa, California family with a bit of their own bad blood in Alfred Hitchcock’s film Shadow of a Doubt. Uncle Charlie (Joseph Newton) is a suspect in a case involving the murders of several rich widowed women. We are given a glimpse into his New York hideout where he is confronted…

A literary analysis is evaluating a piece of work and discussing the writer’s interpretation of it. This is important because you want to know why the writer wrote it and where they are coming from, to know the reasons why you have to know a little bit about their background. Emily Dickinson is a perfect example because all of her writings have something to do with her life and the way she felt. Others can also easily relate to her work. Similarly, Everyone experiences the feeling of not being…

child. An example is I had a child in my class that her dad was going out of town for work. He is going to be gone for 3 weeks and the little girl has been stressed and very clingy to me. This caused stress on the little girl and made her depressed little. Both of these stressors occur together or one may be the consequence of the other. In my example of the little girl in my class and her father leaving out of town for 3 weeks has caused the child to not eat. She may incur this not eating till…

time also. From this block it has been made clear that I am lacking in some in some self-belief which has always been a huge problem from me. I do overthink some things and take them a bit too literally but I feel that identifying this is the first step in the right direction. I can now make attempts to have a bit more faith in myself and what I am doing. Hopefully by doing so it will show through in my actions meaning I can come across more confident and self-assured. From a professional…
