Christina's World

My world was upside down. I had never seen such a variety of races, cultures, and history in one place. The move enabled me to grasp that Arizona was not the only place in the galaxy, but only a microscopic portion of it. Growing up on…

save the snails. And the supreme arrogance? Save the planet! Are these people kidding? Save the planet? We don't even know how to take care of ourselves; we haven't learned how to care for one another.” George Carlin. This is the brutal truth of the world we live in today; hardly anyone seems to value or respect each other. Yet not many of us choose to notice this let alone try to raise others attention to our behaviors. However, bestselling author Suzanne Collins, does just that. Author…

What would you do if you could discover a “new world”? That’s exactly what the Jamestown Colonists were going to find out when they sailed out for the new world even though this journey could mean their death. The question for this essay is “Early Jamestown: Why did so many colonists die?” even though Jamestown was supplied with 560 colonists only 90 colonists survive after the May of 1610. What the colonists were expecting to find was a new route to china and Valuables but when the colonists…

anyone! There are tones of girls who were all over you. Most of them are way prettier then me, more interesting; just more everything. Probably less crazy, less sad, less miserable then me by a million times. I'm just an average person in an average world. You, you are a planet in an amazing Galaxy. I don't understand how a person like you could love someone like me. I don't understand why you choose me.. I guess you see something in me that I don't. But I'm happy for that! I'm just so scared of…

A hero is a single drop of sun on the cloudiest of days. Heroes are strong, courageous, and caring. Most importantly, a hero is not born, but made. In 3:10 to Yuma Dan Evans protects the ones he loves most at any cost; that is what a true hero is. When we first meet Dan he seems to be cowardice. This is shown when some bankers come in the middle of the night to burn down his barn. The only person who was willing to do anything about it was his fourteen-year-old son William. William is rude to…

Preface: I want to make one thing clear, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are dumb, dorky, and stupid, on a concept level. TMNT target audience is young boys. If I'm being truthful I was a fan of the Ninja Turtles as much as any boy in his adolescence years. I was more of a Power Ranger fan, but TMNT was right there in the same wheelhouse of interest. Even tough I'm not that old, I can't take the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles seriously at my age. I watched this film to take a trip down nostalgic…

The world today is extremely controversial, it seems as though through the simplest comment you can offend another, so terribly, and there are times when it was not meant as an insult or harmful. The world in its elements seems to have the same relationship as people do love and hate. Most people have grown up with the knowledge of good and evil, as one cannot exist without the other. Through this essay with the assistance of Jensen, Ooman and Abbey, we will try to show you how the yin and yang…

standing on the opposite side may view it is a “9”. The way someone looks at something isn’t the only way to see it. There is no right or wrong way to view something because it all relies on your cultural background and how one was raised to see the world. In “An Indian Father’s Plea”, “Legal Alien”, and “Everyday Use” the characters’ culture impacts their everyday life and the decisions they make in difficult situations. Therefore, a person’s culture plays a major role in the way they perceive…
