Coco

Was Pixar’s roughly 200-million-dollar investment in Coco worth it (McNary)? Hundreds of thousands of people all over the world have expressed that their answer is yes. Coco is a family movie that was released on Nov 22, 2017, that was directed by Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina (Pixar). The family film lived up to its high expectations by making $700.9 million and counting in its international box office (Tartaglione). Through themes of family, death, and passion, the film is about many things,…

My eighth characteristic is another one I’m not proud of. The eighth one is that I’m very temperamental. It does not take much to make me upset. If someone says something or does something I don’t like, I immediately get an attitude or become very upset. I remember one day my mother tried to make me wear an outfit I did not like and I immediately got upset. I remember yelling at my mother and getting really angry. Little things can upset me just like big things. I’m not sure what caused this to…

In class we were assigned two readings, about time management, and focusing on our school work. The readings were “Getting to Work”, and “Using Time Wisely” in A Pocket Guide to College Success. In the readings there was a tremendous amount of explanation about studying, and doing homework. I have to agree with both of the readings. Each one of them had very good ideas on how to succeed in your freshmen year of college. Some of the lessons that I thought were helpful and some that were not were…

It’s weird to think about my life up to this point in time. I’m a 23 year old college student who’s so focused on making it through a 16 credit hour semester on top of working full time that other than current events it’s strange to think back on my life and what all has happened. I grew up in a nice neighborhood on the east side of Sandy, Utah. The house I lived in was large, much like the other homes in the area. But unlike the other homes this house was just a front to hide the very…

“Everything will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, it’s not the End.” - John Lennon The Quote above says that everything will be fine at the right time or when someone has been fulfil his goals in life. Like stories in the books or movies it only end when the character resolve all the problems his been facing all the time. But when the story add another problem it means that the story is not yet been done and should be continue until it find its way to be done. It also means like whatever…

I am a girl. I have always been a girl, have always seen myself as a girl, and hold onto being a girl as a part of my identity. For most of my life, this identity has not had a profoundly negative nor positive impact on how I live. I have the privilege of having grown up in liberal Sonoma, where my being a girl did not automatically make me lesser. I played Co-Ed soccer until I was 10, was given the same opportunities to learn as the boys in my classes, and never had anyone other than a…

Dear four year old self, I solemnly swear to always be right. And in the words of Anne Lamott, the author of Bird by Bird, “perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people.” Growing up, I have learned and experienced my fatal flaw, pride. That a minor moment in time has unconsciously impacted my mindset in life. I hated the feeling of making mistakes; therefore I tried to never make any. It sounds a tad exaggerated, however, it’s true. I was three years old, when I was…

You and Me Can Slow Down Technology Have you ever worried when a new form of technology has been presented to the world? Did you think the world would benefit from it? Brooke Gladstone says in her graphic text “The Influencing Machine” that technology innovations actually benefit the world and there is no reason to panic over them. Gladstone makes her inquiry in response to many writers’ publications, the main being Nicholas Carr’s “Is Google Making us Stupid?” Gladstone refers to Carr’s…

I feel like most of my beliefs are extremely old fashioned especially when it comes to relationships, the way we dress, and technology. The majority of my beliefs about my relationships stem from being raised in the south and being a southern Baptist. I feel that a man should lead his family in all things, especially when it comes to religion. Also, because of my southern Baptist raising or spiritual beliefs, I am strongly against having sex before marriage. I feel like it is something that is…
