I had never seen the ocean before. I had seen charcos or “puddles”, as they call it here. I had seen ponds and wells as well, but never the ocean. You see, my homeland is in the center between land and the ocean. My homeland is called El Rincon de Don Pedro, located in the state of Michoacan, Mexico. From El Rincon de Don Pedro to the ocean, it’s about 572 km or 355.424 miles, about a 7 hr. 31 min. drive. My family and I couldn’t afford to drive such distance. We didn’t have enough money to…

a Snake I remember the day of November 6th, 2008, the day the incident happened. It was a sunny, beautiful shinny day outside, wind blowing, leaves falling kids running, and the smell of fresh air filled the place. That day was the day my friends and I decided we should go outside and chill. Tripping over the carpet in front of my door was just the beginning of my adventure’s life. That wasn’t the worse that had happened; of course I had injuries from working out the day before, but I decided…

Reflection Paper I have never enjoyed school. I enjoy learning new things and experiencing the wonders of this world. I am a ‘hands on’ learner. If you show me how to fish, I’ll retain the knowledge much more easily than to just explain how to fish. I’m assuming, like most people I went to college right out of high school and thoroughly enjoyed the college experience. Maybe for the wrong reasons. I thought I knew what I wanted to do with my life, but was never really motivated to complete my…

Despite what many think, the pharaohs of ancient Egypt did not succeed each other as an unbroken, patrilineal chain by any means. By the Eighteenth Dynasty, the state of kingship had recovered is authority from the Asiatic ruling of the Second Intermediate Period. Hatshepsut, one of the most well-known female kings of Egypt, is a clear outlier to what one would expect from a typical pharaoh. Her story, in summary, involves her gaining control over administration after King Thutmose II, her…

was not just my pet, but also he was my best friend that I even considered him as my son. On new years eve I went to a pet store having in mind that I was going to buy a dog because since I was a kid I always like dogs, but unfortunately I never got one because of the space that I was living; it was small. As I went inside the pet store, there were noises of all different kind of animals including cats, dogs, rabbits and birds. At first I noticed some cute chihuahuas and other breeds of dogs…

Allow me to begin by expressing that I regret my actions that have led to me writing this letter. In the fall of 2014 I decided to begin my college career; however, this later proved to be a mistake for multiple reasons. During the summer before the fall semester, I met a girl which led to the first relationship that I have ever had. I spent every night with her and stayed awake, most nights, until five in the morning, disrespected my parents, and began calling out of work. These poor habits…

Art communicates various social, religious, and political messages, and it is the patrons, artist, and public who are crucial in receiving and conveying these messages. Western art was a highly influential tool and was used as a conduit for political ideologies and historical events. It could associate its subject with greatness, power, and divinity. However, it remains debatable on who had a greater hand in shaping the artistic direction of Western art — the individual or the state. While both…

many personal experiences I realized my social location. I realized my social location through race, through gender, and also through ability/disability. All three of the experiences made me realize not just where my position was in society but it made me understand other people’s social locations. When I was young I never truly realized how privileged nor did I realize the differences between race. I lived in a nice and comfortable house, got most of the clothes or toys I wanted, and went on…

internet as both text and video formats, and commented upon in many newspaper and news sites. Throughout the essay, I will be focusing on the techniques Jobs used to ensure that his audience were both entertained and inspired. He used a variety of techniques such as emotive language, humor, rhetorical questions, allusions to poetry, metaphors, similes, direct address and flattering. I will also address the structure of his speech which is almost formed like a neat essay containing introduction,…
