Caterpillar

didn’t trust me to go out on my own. I wasn’t even a teenager and I didn’t know Amy that long, considering I knew most of my other friends for six years. Despite all of these concerns, I felt like I was my own person for once. I felt like a caterpillar finally becoming a butterfly. Metamorphosis is like adolescence because both are the processes of becoming something (or someone)…

Protecting Women’s Autonomy Abortion has long been a controversial issue with countless people protesting against it and others just as strongly protesting for women to have the right to choose. I am not going to argue that abortion in itself is morally right or wrong, but I believe a woman has the right to decide if abortion is the right path for her. It is ethical for a woman to choose to have an abortion while she is in her first trimester because the fetus has not yet developed into its…

The sound of the title is a very familiar sound, like the sound of my father’s keys being tossed on the glass table in the doorway, or my sister’s bubbly laugh. It’s a name that I’ve grown up. Alice and her adventures. To analyze it, Alice is our lense throughout the novel. She trots the trails of wonderland, watching a baby become a big, played croquet with a flamig, and my favorite, puzzling over riddles at a chaotic tea party. These are her adventures. In all honesty, I believe the…

My Bio Note: I originally wrote this Bio for a web class I taught some years ago called Writing Fiction. I have continued to use it pretty much unchanged except for family updates, so if you have had me before you won’t find much new. It’s long for this assignment, not meant to be a model for yours. Make of it what you will; you deserve to know who your professor is. You may respond on the Biography Forum if you wish. I taught my first college English class in January of 1975 at Kent…

Possibly the biggest factor in my decision to be a teacher was my fifth-grade teacher, Mr. Shaw. He was my teacher at such a critical point in my life. I was 11 years old learning how the world worked and trying to discover who I was. Mr. Shaw quickly became a mentor for all twenty-nine of us in the class and didn’t just teach us math or science but life lessons. I still can imagine his loud voice coming from the back of the classroom as he taught us to be successful in life or how words can…

“Juice Avocado. Juice orange!” she squawked to draw the attention of the passersby. There were few other carts, next to them, hawking tasty ethnic foods, and they all had an unspoken, stiff competition among themselves to attract the customers, in spite of having excellent camaraderie – survival of the fittest. “Avocado Juice– Jus aplokat,” Yanti hawked in high pitch drawing the notice of the shoppers who looked at her smilingly but didn’t buy as they’re going to the market and might try…

Example: In the 1970s, Philips, a Dutch multinational gadgets organization, set up network administration with its directors answering to both a topographical supervisor and an item division administrator. Numerous other huge organizations, including Caterpillar Tractor, Hughes Aircraft, and Texas Instruments, likewise set up reporting along both functional and project lines around that time. Now that we have been exposed to a few terms related to Google OS, let’s dive deep into its organisation…

GMOs GMOs as we know them today have only been around for a few decades. Today, GMOs can be found in everything from the cotton in our T-shirts to the soda we sip at the movies. A GMO is a Genetically Modified Organism it is a laboratory process of taking genes from one species or food and inserting them into another in an attempt to obtain a desired trait or characteristic.

As Mr. Farquhar is running to his “escape,” he notices things that he has never paid attention to before. For example, there are things in this world just too small for us to get a gratifying look at. One of these things happens to be a green caterpillar crawling around on a leaf. Who would take the time to pay attention to that, or even try to find such a tiny creature? When someone breaks away from death, every puny thing is going to stick out like a sore thumb, and Bierce makes sure that…

sink. My heart was broken like the family I come from. I never liked opening myself to people and letting people in, because I know people are only out for themselves, and will only hurt me. I always kept everything to myself like I was a caterpillar inside a cocoon, but then you wrapped your arms around me and told me you love me and I felt comfort; I felt safe. So I did everything I can to maintain that security; even if it meant opening myself up. I turned to you like an…
