I was very interested in the topic of advanced directives that we read towards the beginning of the semester. In talking with a few of my other classmates in the class, I came to realization that I am of a different opinion than most when it comes to how we view the ethics of advanced directives. Most of those I talked to did not seem to agree with their implementation (except for in severe cases such as vegetative states). I would argue that advanced directives are not only an ethical practice,…

I took it upon myself to search for answers to life after high school. I looked into Tarot Cards to see what the cards had to say, nothing, but it was fun.

She said I would marry a blond, and then a look of horror crossed her face. To my surprise, she bolted straight up flinging her chair behind her and said:…

It also dealt with the issues of the morality of slavery, the troubles of poor white people, and the autobiographical details of a young boy journey of coming of age in a fairly drastic way for the…

The Okefenokee Swamp is an interesting place to learn about regardless of how it is described in both passages.The writers differ extraordinarily in their style of writing about the swamp and in their description of the swamp. In the two written passages, there are two detailed descriptions of Okefenokee Swamp. Both seem to be factual; however, one author is informing the audience with facts about the Swamp, while the other is entertaining them by using figurative language to describe the swamp…

Identity and Polite Lies To me, the most memorable reading in this course is “Lost in Translation, or Polite Lies”. And I would like to focus on the part of Polite Lies. The message what I have got after read this chapter is that people are usually being polite in social conversations.

Therefore, the aim of my project, called Había Una Vez, because it all started in the Spanish class, was to encourage reading and that, fortunately, it became…
