All Good Things...

Author Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow." Some people will say that this isn't true. They would say that you can continue to learn new things while doing the same things over and over; however this isn't true. To become better, improve, or excel at something you have to push your limits and get out of your comfort zone. I have seen this in other people's lives and in my own. One of the reasons that I agree…

choosing a destination, take into consideration budget and the length of the vacation (Epstein). Some places may only have a few activities, and would make a good weekend vacation, while other destinations may have a surfeit of adventures,…

taught me to never count on anyone, let alone a man to get things done. Growing up without a male figure in our house me and my sister learned how to do things a man would normally do; I know very sexist of me. Our mother expected so much from us it was hard to differentiate our roles from what a woman should do and what a man should do. We learned to do it all. So, growing up I have that same mentality, while I feel that it has given me some good qualities in my past and current relationships I…

graduating if I didn’t get satisfactory scores in both classes. Remembering what brought me to such a low grade, I was nauseated when I left his office. “Just hit the ball!” A few people yelled, some with frustration and anger, others with good intention. But I take them all the say way – an admonishment, a command. I’m not doing what they need me to do. No matter what, when that big white ball sailed into my part of the volleyball court, it would pass me because I would not hit it. To…

Gladwell explains how revolution has changed over time, he expressed that our way of thinking, our way of doing thing has evolved by the way society thinks and how technology has advanced. But he also tells us why we have forgotten how to create a revolution of big events that have happened in our World thru out time. This event shaped the way that we see things and the way that we do thing. According to Malcolm Gladwell, he described Revolution like “a core of dedicated and trained activist…

In the movie, 12 Angry Men, there were plenty of things to focus on. The weather, the way the men were dressed, their facial expressions, and more. I’d like to focus a little on all of these things throughout this paper, because they all help make the film what it is. As we started watching this movie, I think the thing I noticed most was the weather and how everyone looked uncomfortable and grumpy. Who wouldn’t be uncomfortable and grumpy on a hot day while wearing a full suit while being…

like David did. He conveys what he wanted to from the play “Yellow Face”. Yes, addressing such issue in art and in other wats is valuable because people actually believe on it and if they are wrong, they will make sure that they won’t repeat the same thing other time. It is absolutely valuable. The social problem that David Henry is hoping to address with this play was maybe there will be less diversity, racism and ethnicity because if people become racist and judge people, there will be less…

trailer has been posted. I have been pretty indifferent to the whole thing ever since the original cast has pretty much had nothing to do with it. The big thing that will slap everyone that has a criticism about the film is that the new cast is female. That has nothing to do with a movie being good or not. Sure, there are probably those Men's Rights douche bags that will complain that it should be an all male cast, but the thing about that is no one cares about what those people have to say.…

When the high school band is ushered into school and the field is left with the roaring silence, the only thing that was left were the “leaves that [descended] to no drum/ and [lay] still” (Whittemore). This verse shows the reader that the less a person, place or thing is affiliated with something, the less it will affect them if the thing of matter suddenly becomes absent. Similarly, when Ayano died and her whole class was mourning the loss, Shintaro suspected that “someone…

places on time. I learned that once I actually started to acknowledge and care about my bad habit was the only way I would be willing to change it. Working on my time management was hard but not nearly impossible. I had to change my outlook on certain things so that my mindset would be prepared and ready for change. I believe I was successful in working on my time management. I now find myself early to events then rather late or on time. Although I may still arrive late to events every now and…
