Focusing

Mental Focus When examining our performances often times the lack of mental focus gets lost in our attempt in understanding of why a performance may have not gone well. As we know mental focus is a major factor to having a successful performance, but too often we do not consider it when preparing ourselves for a performance. During a performance the performer should not allow the mind to wondering, there should be some level of awareness at all time. Some people may refer to this as staying in…

I believe that it is not important to focus on the bottom third but the middle. We need to start focusing on members who are present at events, such as philanthropy rather than spending time on those members who skipped. When focusing on active participates it creates a more positive atmosphere and eliminates negativity. Each member in Alpha Omicron Pi is involved for different reasons but in the end we all share…

torture in hell. He depicts God as solely torturous and wanting only to punish those who have done wrong, thus appealing to fear and providing motivation to escape the wraths of God’s persecution by finding new faith in Christianity. This method of focusing on punishment and then subsequent ways to escape it while inciting fear is unnecessary and wrong in its…

Another wire that could be added to the birdcage is the label put on prisoners. It brings shame and a stigma to these people of the African American communities especially when many of these individuals are targeted by police. Alexander (2011) stated that “the shame and stigma associated with Jim Crow is less damaging than the prison labels today.” Our newest caste system, a race-neutral criminal justice system, can afford to assemble, arrest and incarcerate a large number of black and brown men…

Introduction This extended essay will be focusing on the criticism of the American illustrator Norman Rockwell, and my research question is “Do Norman Rockwell’s artworks present a falsification of reality in American society?”. I believe that Norman Rockwell did not actually idealized some of the American images in his paintings, in fact, the reason that his paintings appear to be presenting a very ideal American society is that he has used a lot of symbols in his paintings, so in many of his…

“Hills Like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway uses the Modernist elements of dialect while focusing on the concrete parts of it's story and setting, along with the strong sense of alienation that comes from the characters. Hemingway uses the Modernist style of only focusing on concrete details and using dialect to keep things to the point, even if it's in a bit of an elusive way. He doesn't mention it directly in the story, but it becomes apparent the “The American and the girl with him”,…

When thinking about what the conversation meant in a theological aspect led me to reading more in depth with Imagining Redemption by David H. Kelsey. I refer back to his back a lot because of his writing style. I feel as if he is having a conversation with me. He expresses how the story of his son is nothing special. The line I loved the most said, “it is absurd to suppose that such stories can be ranked and graded as to their horrendousness.” One of the reasons Bryn did not tell her parents…

and it is not really a judgement call. The hardest call to make was the offsides penalty. This was the hardest because I was unfamiliar with the rule. It was also hard to make offsides calls because it can be a judgement call, and sometimes you are focusing on the ball handler and it is easy to miss an offsides call. It is much easier to call out of bounds because you are watching the ball and you can usually see if it went out.…

They become entombed in the illness focusing their every thought around death and sickness or they use their illness as an awakening of life. In the short story “Love Bade Me Welcome,” the author, Christian Wiman, is faced with life-altering news. He has a deadly, incurable disease. Through…

using a handheld cellphone because it distracts you from the primary thing you should be focusing on while driving, the road, it is extremely dangerous, and people are more likely to get in an accident while using a handheld cellphone on the road. As a driver, your primary focus should always be on the road in which you are…
