Book Stealer One day May was feeling bored. She was in her house and needed something to do. She did have the laptop but her big sister Lilly wanted to borrow it and broke it by dropping it at her house. May didn’t get mad because Lilly was going to get a better laptop in a few weeks. So, she decided to read a manga. May liked manga and anime it was because of the drawing style and the story line. May jumped out of her beds and walked to her bookcase where she keep…

Your driving your new car down the streets with pride of how your father gave it to you as a present on your birthday. Unless somebody else behind you driving too. Is trying to multitask by texting and driving. And BOOM your new car is damaged by an idiot who tried to be a multitasker. What is multitasking? When I hear the word multitasking I think about how we ourselves do something by adding one or more things into a task. A good example is of us teenagers listening to music while doing…

The concept of education is how to learn, understand material, and knowledge that is taken in. Through education certain values and beliefs are developed. These beliefs, habits, and skills shape a student’s character. There are two controlling factors that come into play when discussing the concept of education; one is the teacher and the other is the student. As illustrated in Richard Feynman’s article, “O Americano Outra Vez,” a student’s learning focus is overwhelmingly influenced by the…

Women in The Big Sleep As I have mentioned before, this was true in the case of the rise of feminism. Before the turn of the century, “Women arrived, en masse, [to the Western frontier], and the ‘male-dominated homosocial world of gold rush California’ gave way to a ‘settled domestic Victorian discipline’” (Hoefer 49). That ‘Victorian discipline’ gave way in the 1920s to a deviant social norm, exemplified by Carmen and to a lesser extent Vivian. Right before Marlowe expresses how much he…

express it on a daily basis? Perhaps the reason we do not make gratitude a part of our daily lives is that the fast pace and multiple distractions of life have made it all too easy to forget the importance of gratitude. The self-help shelves in any bookstore are lined with books on gratitude; memes abound on social media stating the likes of ‘an attitude of…

As a person who likes to read printed books, I would like to argue that printed books are no longer necessary in this digital era as all writing can be stored electronically. As time goes by, we are getting used to a fast-paced life with the frequent use of modern electronic products, so too as the way of reading. The e-book, short of the electronic book refers to books that are created and read through modern information technology and Internet technology, which has realized paperless reading…

On Leading Well An Open Letter to all the Superheroes. Effective leadership is nuanced. It’s ambiguous. It takes the most precise amounts of pride and humility, confidence and skepticism... It’s no wonder the bookstores and consulting firms thrive covering the topic. It also takes an incredible amount of hard work and sleepless nights. However, the rewards are priceless and here’s my journey discovering that. To explain what I’ve learned about effective leadership, allow me to introduce my…

way to conquer your fear than by over-preparing. Over-preparing in all possible areas of your life gives you a sense of confidence and certainty because you anticipate all potential outcomes. For example: You see an attractive individual in the bookstore and have an urge to get to know her. You don’t look your best, but you still muster the courage to head straight into her invisible boundary (more on that in later chapters). However, you then mumble a few thoughtless lines, such as, “Hi, how…

Censorship and Propaganda were two very key features during Nazi Germany in World War 2. Censorship is keeping information from civilians, Propaganda is slanting the way information is presented. Censorship and Propaganda go hand in hand in aiding each other. They both affected the way the world was during the time of the war and forever after. World War 2 affected the lives of people in America and Britain in many ways. People had to live with the threat of having air raids every night and…

interesting at all and never wanted to attend. No matter what anybody did or said, I just would not change my mind. I had my mind made up. I hated school so much, but I knew that I would need at least a high school diploma. So I headed to the local bookstore, purchased a large GED book and studied like my life depended on it. Two months later, I took the test and passed with a higher score than what I expected. I was so proud! I still wanted a job, and a paycheck, so I spent hours filling out…
