Dreams Can Come True

A major part of life is pursuing dreams. Life would almost be pointless if people did not have ambitions. We wouldn’t have a reason to get out of bed if they did not have a dream that they want to achieve. Anne Laurel Cartier, the author of the short story “Leaving the iron lung,” specifically looks at how having a dream can affect one’s life. Carter uses conflicting characters, character transformation, and the setting to illustrate that to be content with life one needs to follow their dream, even if they need to commit and sacrifice to achieve it. First, Carter uses the contrasting characters Agathe and Marie to show that having a dream is an important part of someone’s life. First, Agathe decision to give up her ambition of being a professor…

I believe these are factors that come into play whenever any individual starts a new career; there is always a learning curve, but it is possible to overcome these obstacles with careful attention and dedication.

Again these are…

Ulysses and Santiago “We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us” (Joseph Campbell). This quote relates to the two stories because the main characters had to ditch their past life for their new ones. Santiago and Ulysses can easily be compared or contrasted. They are alike in tons of ways, but they are also so different. They are two completely different who are strangely alike. They both find help on their journeys from surprising strangers who…

One person can do something so small for someone and make their whole life change. No one realizes how much one little thing can do to change someone’s mood. You don’t have to have a lot of influence. You really just need to have faith in your power to change things. Always be kind, because you never know what some people are going through or what they have been through in the past. Making one single person smile can change their world. One person can truly make a difference. There are a lot of…

five years of intense lectures and lessons, I had earned a degree that I was finally going to put to use. Neal and I, our relationship was based around facts and stories we told each other. We never went on great adventures. We never saw a movie together. We never spent the day lazing around the house. We were close through an internet connection; how would it be face-to-face? Eight o’clock at the Hard Rock Café London, April 15th, I saw Neal for the first time. He stood waiting on the sidewalk…

For the remainder of the day only five more trucks come. Today will be harder I tell myself and maybe longer, but after two weeks it will be worth it. I arrive and can already hear the loud truck engines as one is leaving the scales. Once I clock in, I go to the office where the dust is so thick I can feel it crawling up my nose causing me to sneeze. All of a sudden I see a whole line of trucks start driving down the street and line up so they can be dumped. Bryan grabs the walkie talkie and…

People say that there is nothing like the smell and the feel of a brand new car. Lucky for me at the age of nineteen I was fortunate enough to find that out for myself. After working to save seventeen hundred dollars my mom and I drove to the Honda dealer to go get the car of my dreams. There it was, either it seemed like they knew I was coming, or everywhere I looked the car was there. A black on black coupe EX Honda Civic, power locks, power windows, sunroof, alloy wheels, and the best part…

“Stop and put your hands where I can see them!” The officer hollows as he continues running after the boy, who has the stolen loaf of bread cradled in his arm like a running back running a football. Donny bolts through the busy sidewalks filled with people. The officer continues behind him and radios in but is slowly losing track. “We have a 10-43 requesting backup on Yawkey way.” Donny has a 100 foot gap on the enervated officer. Donny reaches the street corner and makes the split-second…
