Sexy By Jhumpa Lahiri Usually when I’m looking for something new to read I go off of titles, I don’t read the reviews, I don’t read the blurb on the back, if the title catches my eye then I will more than likely pick it up and see what goes from there. So one day during my LIT 224 class I was going through the contents of our book and one story caught my eye, Sexy by Jhumpa Lahiri, I turned to the page the story started on and began to read. The story wasted no time getting someplace interesting, in the first page alone our heroine, who is named Miranda hears the story of a “wife’s worst nightmare”. She listens as one of her coworkers tells how her cousin’s husband had left her, he had found a new woman while flying back from a business meeting…
semester I was worried because I though this class was going to be really hard for me. The first days of class I was okay,but when I find out that I had to do an introductory speech I panicked. I am a very shy person and I don 't talk a lot, I know that this can be bad, but it is difficult for me to change. FYE made the right choice for me, with a group everything seems better. Throughout the semester there has been challenges for me in this class but I never gave up. Since I found out…
odds. I never knew that this quote would have a huge impact in my life especially when I had reached the sixth grade. Just a young, shy, and chubby kid ready for my first year in junior high, wondering about the new exciting things waiting for me. But if I knew that the exciting things would change into nightmares, I would have never left my bed. Walking into this enormous castle of a school, I was handed a green sheet of paper with huge bolded words that spelled out my name followed by a long…

When I was 12 years old I moved to West Virginia I lived there until I graduated high school. I loved that I finally had a study home environment although I…
Beginning this class, I was not sure what to expect because I did not really know what community health was. I signed up for the class to fulfill the requirement for my minor. Throughout this class, I have learned so much about the aspects of the community health, agencies, drug abuse, health rates, and disease types and control. These were all topics that were greatly interesting to me and I feel like the class improved my understanding of the way in which many communities operate. It also…
doing this he engages all of the children in the class to participate and they all get a turn to do so. Another way he engages instruction well is by putting the children into groups and making…
As a student I have always tried to avoid public speaking courses as much as possible. Especially the ones that are for public speaking, once I found out I was going to have to take a public speaking course I was dreading the moment than I found out I could take it solely online and I thought oh this wont be as bad, even though I was still pretty anxious about it. Once in Com103 I was dreading having to say the first speech. Then we had our first online class, I felt a lot more prepared and had…
Class #10 (Lab during class #9) Readings: None listed in the outline (PSA Presentation day!) Today we had all of our Public Service Announcement assignments present in class. Some were videos, slideshows and poems. Over all, it was very interesting to see and learn about all of the different trauma related fields, theories, facts and activities. I think that everyone brought forward a creative presentation, making their PSA their very own. I truly enjoyed this class and think that it followed…
want?” I replied, rolling over, with my eyes still closed. I opened my eyes, realizing it was Daniel calling my name. I sat up on my bed quickly and felt like I had only slept for three hours. I remember stressing over the first couple weeks of college; being alone for the first time, having to be responsible for myself. I glanced around at the same old furniture; our two lofted beds, the TV against the far wall, and our black futon against the opposing wall. Beside the TV, were Daniel’s…
Shamsky points out by saying, “My God, we’re talking about admission to and exclusive nursery school. Of course, a donation will help as well. Nothing showy. I know they’re looking for someone to pick up the tab for a new annex (Allen, 2003).” After hearing this, Boris tells Anna that they have to sell their country house to secure a second interview for Mischa, which they eventually did. This is because Boris is so desperate that he even sold their country house just for the sake of Mischa…
