There is no other day to celebrate themselves other than their birthdays. A person’s birthday becomes special when his/her loved one is by…

After I watched Radio, I realized that it was one of the movies included in the Cinematic Representation article by Renwick, Schormans, and Shore (2014). This article found two themes present in the films they analyzed: A simplification of occupational participation and infantilization. They portrayed Radio as someone who was nearly always happy.

At the age of 12 I concurred my fear of heights at the happiest place on Earth. It’s the place where imagination flies freely, Disneyland. Here I learned that Franklin D. Roosevelt’s was right when he said, “the only thing to fear, is fear itself”. It all started in 2009, on Christmas Day. There my sister and I were opening our presents. After tearing through all the wrapping paper and thanking family members all that was left was an envelope. My sister and I didn’t think much of this bland,…

The Giving Tree is a poem about a relationship between a boy and a tree. When the boy was young the tree would give him everything to make him happy and they were best of friends. The tree was like a caretaker for the boy and always gave him whatever he needed, like branches to swing from, shade to sit under and rest, apples to sell, branches to build a house, a trunk to build a boat so he could get away, and a stump to rest on when the boy grows old and needs to rest. As the boy gets older…
