We don’t see, yet we believe. That's the thing about religion. You need too firmly have belief in it. Without out the belief, you may as well try walking the earth without an earth. You don’t physically see God, yet I still believe in him. Life is a daily grind. It comprises of many, time-consuming activities. Our daily routine. Going to work or school. Even enjoying leisure activities such as hanging out with your friends. Week after week. Year after year. Life can and will consume you…

Growing up in a working class home, I quickly gained the skills of an environmentalist, entrepreneur, and civics leader. I can still recall the smell of the flowering fruit trees of the summer months in sunny South Florid and how every year I would gather the abundance of extra fruit in our backyard and distribute them to our extended family, friends, and neighbors. In our modest home, nothing was ever thrown away, and items would be recycled many times. At the age of nine I was serving hot…

to make the connection of the particular time period that this play was set it, that concededly played a role into setting. The house designed to represent the late 1800’s with the wooden plank walls, doilies, and antiques that scatter the rooms, bookcases, and much more. To add onto the setting, the light fixtures were very little used. A lot of the lighting elements that the director used was more natural, such as, fires, candles, and natural window lighting. I believe that all of these design…

Observing a child is an interesting experiences. I can find that the differences between the children real behave what I think about they behave before I observed. I observed a three year-old girl who is in preschool at California State University, Sacramento at around three in the afternoon. For the purpose of confidentially, I would call her Lina. There are couple teachers in the class, and each teacher has a group of children that they are responsible for. It is not a big class there are only…

Dust accumulated on this object, as it had sat for a couple years in a bookcase tucked away from sight. As the remnants of dust were blown and then wiped off its cover, it began to be reread again. My experience with taking this English Composition one course was like dusting off a dirty book, it meant having to uncover this book of knowledge after being out of school for two years. This book represented in my head, my mind after being out of school for some time, you experience day to day life…

the way I was raised when I was younger. As I mentioned in an earlier assignment, the topic of sex was not discussed at all in my parent’s household, I had to actually learn about sex from twenty five year old encyclopedias that my parents had in a bookcase. By growing up in this environment, I believe it greatly shielded my views and opinions on sexuality. By being a married individual, I decided to include my wife on my trip to the…

One child generation in China: the spoon-fed, the burdened In October, 2015, to combat the aging society and labor shortage, China announced the end of its 30 years one-child policy, leaving people born in the 1980s and 1990s the only one-child generation. The one child policy was brought forward to control the growth of Chinese population in 1982 by Deng Xiaoping, the successor Chinese Chairman after Mao Zedong. At that time, the 2.67 birth rate and a population of 1 billion pressured Chinese…

filled with new people and new adventures. For example, like in The Diary of Anne Frank, I can imagine myself being in Anne Frank 's body, visualizing and feeling the situations, emotions, and the sense of always feeling unsafe from living behind a bookcase. Being able to visualize any book of my interest was the reason I started to love reading books. Also, learning more and more vocabulary was a big deal to me because it meant I can start going on to bigger and bigger challenges. Now, I would…

The entire bedroom was enclosed in a blanket of darkness. I could hear my sisters, Lillian and Angela, breathing lightly as sleep came across them. I edged my way to the little bookcase next to my bed and my hand fumbled across it; I felt my horse figurines, a few hairclips, and a notebook, but I didn’t need those things now. Finally, my hand located my mini yellow flashlight I had earned at that year’s summer reading program. Grasping it tightly, I retreated to my pillow and reached underneath…

It is not about where you are, but what you make of where you are. A room is only a structure, that is, until memories and emotions are attached to it. Giovanni’s room, the private room in which David and Giovanni spend time together, symbolizes all aspects of their relationship and is a representation of David’s emotional state. In the room itself, love both conquers and fails. In the beginning of the novel, it acts as a place of refuge, where they can shut out the rest of the world and David…
