It was a March morning when I came into this world. Of course being that young I don 't recall any memories other than the moments that I shared with my mother and father through their nurture. Although, when I reached the age of four, I discovered something about myself that classified me as a certain person; that being a girl. Furthermore, when I came to be that age I realized that my family also helped me become the girly girl that I am today, as well of what girls are expected to do.…

Half of the battle of overseas combat is the military engagement. The other half; the half not as evident, is the transition home. Marines adopt a heightened sense of awareness for survival in a war zone. However, these adaptations do not vanish when Marines return home. Complications such as, feelings of displacement arise when Marines transition from an ever-evolving hostile environment back into a once familiarly known calm atmosphere. Understandably, a contribution to this feeling is that…

The five passages demonstrate various ways an author can use narrative point of view as a device to further enhance the prose. Though this may seem obvious as the author needs to establish how they are going to compose their characters and their story, however the way an author uses point of view can change the way a certain scene is read and can change the readers perception on characters. I will be looking at how the authors of the five texts establish point of view by looking at the mode of…

their given names, but I remember the Calls were a young couple in their early twenties from Utah. They were very different from the Southern Mormons culturally, but the faith was the same. They had one kid, a boy. I went to their house once with Dexter for dinner. I noticed in their home there was hardly any furniture and that everything was high off the floor. The Calls explained to me the design was to keep things safe from the boy and the boy safe from the things. I thought it odd. I…

The purchase order is $7.34, the cost of…

In 1963, Dr. Lord accomplished maybe his most critical achievement when he helped lead more than 200,000 individuals to the Lincoln Memorial ignoring the Washington Monument. The impetus for this way was the point at which an African-American lady, declined to yield her seat to a white man on a Montgomery transport. The walk was sorted out by King and different gatherings of social liberties, work and religious associations keeping in mind the end goal to increase common and monetary…

Just as soon as it began, spring practice concluded last Saturday for the Notre Dame football team, with a somewhat uneventful game that ended up with a 17-7 Blue victory over the Gold. We learned a lot of things about the upcoming Irish football team--they are good at quarterback and the running backs are as talented as they’ve had in at least a decade--but there are questions that continue to loom over them like dark clouds on the horizon. To be fair, spring practice isn’t the type of exercise…

“Watching TV Makes You Smarter” In the article, “Watching TV Makes You Smarter,” Steven Johnson claims that the progression of modern television series is making viewers smarter because of their complex plots and multi-threading techniques. I question Johnson’s statement because there is a difference between gaining knowledge and conditioning your brain by noticing techniques that are in television shows today. One gains knowledge by learning and being tested over different subject. Whereas,…

Jacob Walters Mrs. Gonzalez Language Arts 11 12 April 2015 The Power Of One America, land of the free and home of the brave, right? In present times we think of the United States of America to be free and just for all, however in the 1900’s it was a different time. America was split in half based on the color of your skin, and African Americans were thought to be lesser people based on their skin color. Imagine going to separate schools, restaurants, and even bathrooms just because you were…
