I feel qualified to hold this position because of how influential the big/little aspect of Zeta has been on my life. My family within Zeta is so close from my great grand big down to my little, and each of them have given me a feeling of having a home away from home. I’ve experienced how important getting a big sister can be when you are a freshman trying to find your way and find where you belong at Auburn. I’ve also experienced how important it is to turn around and be that same guiding light…

Being in a job which required me to communicate with the other worker in English which is not my first language was a mixture of an interesting, difficult, and challenging experience. Writing emails, shift turnover reports, monthly reports, weekly reports, and answering phone calls were some examples of tasks that we had to do using English in our work. Using Arabic was extremely forbidden, especially in emails. We had to work hard to improve our skills in English because the management would…

After cleaning her wounds, giving her multivitamins and handing her parasite medication she looked up at me with her cavity filled mouth smiling the biggest smile I had ever seen. She reached her arms out in front of her tiny body with her hands together and pointed them towards me. A translator whispered behind my shoulder that this was a sign of ultimate and saintlike respect. Her magnitude of gratefulness made me instantly humbled. With tears in her eyes, we hugged. Little did this…

act like himself in real life. When Pyotr moved to the island he left the majority of all his fame and fortune behind and left and converted his life and became closer to the church as well as God. This resembles the “foolishness for Christ”. Foolishness for Christ refers to behavior such as giving up all one's worldly possessions upon joining a monastic order, or to deliberate flouting of society's conventions to serve a religious purpose – particularly of Christianity. Such individuals…

Throughout our lives we are always seeking for the purpose of our existence, something that drives us. This drive is known as passion. One of the many interpretations of passion is described as “any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling” (Webster’s Dictionary). This emotion is felt when a dancer stays at the studio, longer than required, practicing until one move is absolutely perfect or when a detective will not close his case until he finds the fugitive. Your passion is what ultimately…

In all of my years of public schooling, I have never written about one subject for so many times. With the past few drafts, I realized that zoology is slightly more complex than what people would imagine. As you would expect with zoology, people study the structure, habits, and evolution of all animals, both non-living and living. Animal-related careers, whether it is a zookeeper or a researcher, may seem simple, but a person needs key traits such as extreme patience, passion, and alertness. I…

based their faith on Jesus Christ, who is the son of God. In 2004, Mel Gibson directed The Passion of the Christ to show the public who Jesus Christ is and his story of his arrest, trial, and suffering. In today’s world of controversy, the public has different opinions when they first see The Passion of the Christ, such as too much bleeding and doubts of the true reality of what happened to the son of God. In general, critics like and dislike “The passion Of the Christ” based on the reviews of…

presents the Virgin Mary holding the deceased body of Christ in her arms after he was put down from the cross, then later was placed inside the tomb. The most common form being sculptured at that time was the Pietas. Michelangelo’s version of Pietas is a lot less…

Language is used to give tone, and the author’s word choice is exceedingly important regarding any connotations to the subject. Garcia Marquez takes a brothel; a place normally associated with dirty, degrading activities and glorifies it through the use of language. At Cervantes’ brothel, there are musicians who plan in an “enormous courtyard for dancing lit by lantern gourds bought in the Chinese bazaars of Paramaribo.” (Page 64) The atmosphere created by these words quite serene, the dancing…

Religious beliefs and the rituals created to express them have played a major role in shaping artistic expression since the beginning of time. The west is no different and we find artwork throughout generations is rich with religious meaning. From the devotional art of New Spain to the Native rituals of the Southwest, the exhibit “Art of the West” at the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum displays a significant narration of western culture in one of its main themes “Religion and Ritual”. This…
