Detour

Horizontal and Vertical Time I started doing yoga last year. I would try to meditate everyday. Especially during exam weeks, mediation helps me focus on the materials and prepare for the exams. Mediation and yoga clears my mind, and make me more aware of myself and things around me. Stress puts a lot of pressure for my body. Massages are always good, but the best way to relieve stress is by meditation. I was very excited to try out this exercise. When I close my eyes, I start to focus on my…

grandmother focuses for her life. Not even for once instant was she concerned for the wellbeing of her family. As a result of her pride, the whole family suffered the consequences.

in their own care. An advanced directive upholds autonomy by indicating to the medical system and family what your desires are when it comes to prevalent medical issues.

dominates the land for superiority, as people try to claim the top spot. Although, the power of wisdom does not just happen after finishing a textbook; rather, it is built up over time from lessons and morals that are learned from an adventure. In Homer’s epic poem, The Odyssey (translation by Robert Fagles), many characters, including Odysseus, enmark on their own journeys to discover themselves. However, power corrupts the land of mortals and gods, as each man and women exploit their own…

back to the main topic four times in one page it is easy to see that the flow of the text breaks down very quickly and leads the reader to confusion which puts the author in a position of appearing to be disorganized. As previously mentioned, the detour that the narrative took throughout chapter three and four was filled with rich accounts of the rampant rumors in the realm, but does not do much to further the…

Southern Gothic Southern Gothic writing style is about ironic, macabre events that focus on the Old South. William Faulkner and Flannery O’Connor are known for writing Southern Gothic short stories. Southern Gothic stories are about “lurid, macabre subject matters,” that, “social issues and illuminate the cultural climate of the American south.” (Thomas) Two excellent examples of Southern Gothic short stories are William Faulkner’s, “A Rose for Emily” and Flannery O’ Connor’s, “A Good Man is…

name means nothing to you. My memory is dust. It is not your fault, or mine. The chain connecting mother to daughter was broken and the word passed to the keeping of men, who had no way of knowing. That is why I became a footnote, my story a brief detour between the well-known history of my father, Jacob, and the celebrated chronicle of Joseph, my brother. (Diamant, 1997, p. 1) This is the opening of the book The Red Tent, the story of Dinah, daughter of Leah, wife of Jacob. This starts the…

Currently the rate of individuals who return to prison has increased significantly over the past decade. The re-entry of those incarcerated is also known as the recidivism rate. The question being debated is why such a large number of these people are continuing to involve themselves in illegal action that result in them to be incarcerated once again. I will also focus on those who are at a juvenile age because they have a higher risk of recidivism due to the fact they don’t form that…
