Getting Things Done

A lot of men think there is a ‘magical’ solution to fulfill the needs and wants of the women in their life and that is exactly what Old Spice claims to be. In the commercial the viewers see fictional and fairytale like things happening such as tickets to a show turning into diamonds. After the shower scene where the man in the commercial had used Old Spice the viewers saw him wearing white pants on a boat. The white pants is an emphasis on transition to a higher role in life. The commercial…

The FogHorn Personal Response Life, a simple four letter word that we are all living in right now - probably the only thing that we have in common with other living beings in the world. Life, at times, a thrill ride but at times, the biggest obstacle we have to face, whether we like it or not. Life, we desire to live our life as best as we can until, we realize that there are things we can’t control, and that is our desire. Ray Bradbury suggests, desire is a complicated feeling we all have in…

a daughter is asked out by a boy for dinner, the parents get concerned about the relationship and get overprotective, taking extreme measures to ensure their child doesn’t do harm or offense towards their own child and their families. “Here’s the thing -- thoughts are not equal to actions ... Rationalizing that young men have overwhelming urges that cloud their judgment and force them to make poor decisions regarding young men/women is nothing more than excusing bad behavior” (Kasey Ferris).…

When one reads “As For Me and My House,” (Ross), a book such as this can be read in multiple lights and dissected with several tools of context. In the previously studied text, “Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town,” it spoke of false fronts and who the human being actually is on the inside and how that reflects on the external environment. This book is no different, and especially so in the character of Mrs. Bentley. Mrs. Bentley, even though she is the typical, small-town preacher 's wife, she…

assumed there would be courses that I had to take simply because I had to take them--meaning that I had to do the work and get it done so I could earn my grade and move on. I also figured there would be courses where I would actually learn something that would be useful in my career. This Online Course Development class has been an example of the latter. The thing that comes slamming into my mind when reflecting on this course experience is the fact that I had actual experience creating an…

eyes to everything that I hadn’t seen. The teacher was kind of $famous to the students. She had traveled to the places she was teaching us about. She wasn’t just giving us the information out of a textbook, she was telling us real things that she experienced. The thing about this class was, every year, she picked a group of students to go on a trip to a different country. My year there were two trips. One to three different countries in Europe, the other to Australia and New Zealand. After…

there is a positive side to it. Everyone has challenges in their life, within those challenges there is a lesson to learn. The main challenge that I had to go through had affected me both physically and mentally. Domestic violence is not an easy thing to go through, yet again the worse part is to go back and talk about it. My family consists of six people: my father, mother, older sister, little sister and little brother. Many people may think that my family is very united with almost no…

“That’s the thing about pain, it demands to be felt”. Although these words are from the book Hazel Grace is obsessed with (almost like I am with this book)it is still pertinent. Those words slice through me like a knife and with those words I can use to not only explain The Fault in our Stars by John Green but also a lot of my experiences throughout the past four years of my life. It may sound cliche as does most everything that I say, but I believe that without the feelings of pain, sadness…

society is one that is dehumanizing and as unpleasant as possible. Several popular books and movies describe a future society that is awful. Life as a child was great because I did what I wanted didn’t have to worry about grades and other school related things. In the story, it talks about a bleak world that I hopeless also in these stories a young person saves everyone because young bloods have more energy they also fight for what they believe in. The book anthem and the movie Maze Runner tell…

In the movie, “Smoke Signals”, and the book The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, both by Sherman Alexie, the protagonists got through friendship, hope, and loss while they live life on an “Indian” Reservation. Arnold and Rowdy (from The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian) and Thomas and Victor (from “Smoke Signals”) need their friends to help them get through the everyday struggle of poverty. They also need lots of hope to get through good times and bad, and to hope that…
