Tang Soo Do may only look like a simple martial arts class that teaches you how to defend yourself from any danger that you may encounter in your life even as you grow up. I believe that Tang Soo Do represents more than just defense, to me it represents the knowledge and strength of achieving a high goal to reach which is Black Belt and learning the techniques as to why they are so special in a combat experience. When I first started Tang Soo Do at the age of 4, it was something new for me and…

Imagine there is a plant that can grow almost anywhere in the world, literally has thousands of uses, and good for the environment, believe it or not such a plant exists, Hemp. Also known as, Cannabis Sativa, Marijuana, Grass, Mary Jane, and by many other names, has not been legal in the United States since 1937 when it was unjustly banned, for its relationship to marijuana (“hemp…”). With that in mind, it’s true that Hemp and Marijuana are the same species, Cannabis Sativa, but hemp is a…

She was one of the girliest girls I knew since grade school, with her stylish culottes and pink garments of all different shades for all different occasions. She was the epitome of a mixture between pure innocence and quirk that boldly took her rightful place in the middle of my heart. Mary Anne wasn’t just all of that; she was also my affectionate girlfriend, my warm-hearted best friend who I could talk about anything with, from the most trivial things to the very meaning of our whole existence…

Tim O'Brien's novel “The Things They Carried” used his personal experience fighting in the Vietnam War, his father's stories from war as well as others experiences to express his message to civilians that life in a war and post war are not to be glorified or desired. Much of the material in the work has been drawn from O’Brien’s experiences because he felt so close to his stories, because of this, he dedicated the work to his characters—Jimmy Cross, Norman Bowker, Rat Kiley, Mitchell Sanders,…

This is emphasized through the amount of time the hearing has taken.“ The old courthouse clock suffered its preliminary strain and struck the hour, eight deafening bongs that shook our bones.” (Lee, pg.209). To tailor society, people must recognize and begin to implement ethical concepts.

learner, she easily adapted to the surroundings and found out that she actually liked doing some of the things she learned. The war “intrigued her”(p.96), says the storyteller of the chapter where Mary Anne arrives in Vietnam “Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong” Rat Kiley, who is one of the medics/soldiers in the novel. She found out that she had “a real knack” (p.98) for some of the things she learned in the war, like using the weapon. Enjoying the new-learned skills in the war, she declared…
