more interested in learning and love than having a career, disobeying his father. As a youth, he implied that he contracted a venereal disease and worshiped Hindu gods. Banarsidas was not a role model for Jains yet still wrote his life’s tale for his family and friends to learn from. It was his new found enthusiasm for his Jainism and a new movement that inspired him to write his life as a lesson for other Jains. Babur’s own autobiography is similar in…

Family is a word that can provoke many feelings in the majority of humans; those feelings range from utter pride and happiness to utter despair. For me, it’s a mixture of pride and curiosity. I’m always eager to learn more about my family and ancestors. Knowing about our backgrounds, and where we came from, gives us a strong sense of identity, which is an important and valuable trait to have. If we don’t have a sense of who we are and where we came from, then we can’t function as individuals…

How does poverty affect different cultures? Poverty is defined as the state of being extremely poor or the state of being inferior in quality or insufficient in amount. Poverty affects every culture, but each culture has a different take on how one is to live and act when they are in poverty. It also affects each individual who is suffering from poverty in a different way. The issue of poverty can be found in many works of literature, mostly by “writers who have suffered poverty in their youth…

I decided to do my culminating project on Richard Allen, my Grandfather. I chose him for many reasons. We both like technology, he has been in the Vietnam War, he has lots of old antique items, some new, and he has experienced segregation. He has suffered from strokes recently, and has had two major strokes in the last 5 years. These are all very important reasons why I chose to do my project on my grandfather. My grandfather was born in Malden, Massachusetts on June 16th, 1943 which was during…

The father-son relationship has flourished from the ancient times of cave fathers who taught their sons how to hunt, to the modern day dads who teach their sons how to play golf. A good father is one who can teach his son how to grow into a mature young man. Some fathers do this in unconditional ways; however, if the father is able to teach his son how to be a man, he has done his job. One writer who dives deep into this father son relationship is Scott Russell Sanders. In his essay “Under…

Immediately, the reader is meant to sympathize with and admire the father. They are then subjected to the shock of that stanza’s last sentence, “No one ever thanked him.” (Hayden 1) The poem begins as a poignant account of a father’s care for his family, but with that line – which abruptly stops the rhythm of the poem, drawing greater attention to it – the tone changes to one of…

I was an active kid throughout my childhood. Playing sports was something I really enjoyed. At the age of seven was when I first started playing organized sports; the first sport I ever played was soccer. During that time nothing was more fun than playing soccer. My mom would be the one that would take me to all my games; it was rare the times my dad would go. As I grew older I decided to try a different sport, so at the age of eleven, I started playing basketball at the YMCA. I remember how fun…

I will have a minor in special ed and will know how an IEP works and I could help the family develop one that is appropriate for their child.

Though initially Antigone exhibits signs of wanting to die for her pure belief in her principles of the gods and her loyalty to her family, her desire transcends into an obsession for martyrdom fueled by a…
