In the past, whenever someone asked me if I believed in ghosts, I would eagerly respond with, “Oh yes, absolutely.” I would then proceed to tell them about the place my family lived in for a very short time when I was an infant, which was “most definitely haunted.” I told stories which I distinctly remembered: the cat getting constantly getting caught in the screen-door, sinks and vacuums turning on by themselves, and my infant self giggling and playing with air when there was no visible person…

I will argue that Descartes, using his own criteria for making and avoiding mistakes, cannot be making a mistake when he proves the existence of God in meditation three in his Meditations on First Philosophy. I will develop my argument in two parts. First, I will present Descartes’s argument for how mistakes are made and avoided. Second, I will present Descartes’s first proof for the existence of God in the third meditation, and in the process present the steps clearly and distinctly, exactly…

People often hate being told what to do. Whether it be a command of doing a chore, or a new law that changes a person's life. It is often even worse to be told who you are, having someone else tell a person their identity is often frustrating, and frankly is unfair. In both, "Response to Executive Order 9066," by Dwight Okita and "Mericans" by Sandra Cisneros highlight that American identity should not be judged by what people see on the exterior, it should be self defined by the individual.…

In her fiction “Mrs. Sen’s”, Jhumpa Lahiri channels her unique experience as an Indian-American in the United States by constructing characters that reflect the juxtaposition she faced as a descendant of immigrants.

Interestingly, Lahiri portrays another protagonist, the 11-year-old Eliot, as a cultural outsider to Mrs.…

You have a very insightful post. In my opinion, consumers heavily weigh in on value and costs and therefore it helps to increase loyalty amongst the consumers and the business. Likewise, I had Verizon Wireless a while ago and I thoroughly enjoyed their service but my main reasoning behind switching was they were extremely higher than their competitors. Despite the price and the additional costs for the data plans I felt was a tad bit too much however their service worked just about any and…

I feel frustrated when: I often forget things and that frustrates me. I can forget names extremely fast as well as homework. I have stayed up very late sometimes because I forget my work and I wake up at three in the morning because I remembered too late. I even forget when others ask me for any sort of favor. When it comes to names of people, places, or events, I always fail. No matter who the person is, I have to know them for a long time before I get their names correct. When I’m driving and…

In response to the issue of the n-word, Gloria Naylor reasons that the word can be meant differently based on who says it. Naylor considers the n-word inferior to the frustration of writers on the awareness when discussing about the n-word. The n-word based on what Naylor describes seems not to be an insult, but for a different purpose in an understanding meaning. Naylor builds her personal reason by explaining how the community utilizes it and the ethicalal aspects of it in the way it's being…
