Dreaming

Dreams and goals motivate us to make a change in our life. Life would be much easier if everything we wanted was handed to us. No matter how difficult something may be, we always must believe in ourselves and fight for what we want. Nowadays we have the privilege of education which is taken for granted. In the past generations it wasn’t easy to have education and many countries today still have difficulties getting it. In this essay “The Dreamer” by Junot Díaz he writes about how his mother…

Shakespeare also deals with the importance of dreams in the process of creating art. He creates this entire play through his own imaginings, dreams and reflections. It is the performers of Pyramus and Thisbe who introduce the audience to this alternative magical world. It is interesting to consider the dream-like nature of love for example when Titania awakes and falls in love with Bottom. Bottom cleverly states “reason and love keep little together nowadays.” At the end of the…

while Ferrara begins to gently sing "Dreams." Ferrara possess a strength in her vocals that peaks out even at the slowest moments, but pairs cleverly with the rough strings that Wolfberg orchestrates. From the original version, the notion of lucid dreaming was always felt within the melody, yet the sweet and rough approach, notably felt through the violin, is a characteristic that levels the sensitivity. The change between lead vocals from Ferrara to LaForge by the second verse is a powerful…

Descartes: Meditations of First Philosophy is made up of six meditations. In the first meditation, Descartes discredits all beliefs of things that are uncertain by proving what he knows for sure is true. In the first meditation titled: “Concerning those things that can be called into doubt,” Descartes presents many skeptical arguments, doubting each one. He falsifies his arguments about perception, dreams, evil demons and God. First, Descartes believes that his perceptions are deceiving him and…

The Reoccurring Pattern Lorraine Hansberry once said, “I think that virtually every human being is dramatically interesting. Not only is he dramatically interesting, he is a creature of stature whoever he is.” No matter of a person’s race or gender, they are still unique in some way. Everyone contributes to society in a different manner, and sometimes we are judged by what he have to offer individually. In Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun, an African American family struggles with…

Define and describe at least two areas each of personal and academic growth that you have experienced as part of completing this course. The first academic growth I have taken on while studying Aboriginal is habit. In the States, we are assigned homework just like this class, but instead of having one homework assignment per week it was sporadic. So keeping a steady flow of a lecture and reading due every single week on the same day and same time made me gain a habit of doing my homework every…

The sweat warmed my face, giving my brown skin complexion a very moist texture. I was dreaming of my auntie being thrown off a bridge or maybe a cliff. Fear started to build up inside of me as if I were a gusher ready to burst. I knew I was dreaming but I couldn’t wake myself up but then the phone ranged…. Now my auntie was the youngest sister of four to my mother. She would pick my cousin and I up from school and take us to Wendy’s to get lunch. She was the most lovable, caring, and played…

But… nothing was pulling me. I stumbled as I tried to fight the invisible force. Then everything went black. When I woke up it was definitely night. There was a giant square moon. Moons aren't supposed to be square, are they. Perhaps I was just dreaming. I looked at the bed I was in. It was a square red bed. I screamed when I realized where I was. I was IN Minecraft! I was trying to remember all I could about the game. WOW, I have a iron sword in my hand. Ha, ha I just realized…

Her voice was ragged, world-weary, in a larger context of an angry woman self – detestable, self-loathing and carrying the load of her life on her head. ‘Next day Tamble turned up at 11PM, I was already organized and collected my all the belongings for the flight, he made all the arrangements to overcome the towering wall of the compound with the help of a rope, ladder and we flew in a cab. I detested to see back and behold the tall prison like walls of the orphanage, where I was initiated into…
