Goldfish

But just as his street ends, our lives will end. If only we would all remember the childhood lesson of the goldfish which has gone belly-up: everything dies. Fulghum also delves into the cycle of life and death in his essay “Mushrooms”. In it, his aversion to mushrooms prompts him to do some research about them, and through his research he discovers some universal…

dawn can be. The lawn is not as bright as before but the statue of Mary is still glowing. Looking at the pure white statue of Mary provides a soothing and calming effect. Its reflections on the pond below are glimmering in waves. I find some little goldfish swimming tirelessly inside. When they reach the boundary of the pond, they turn around and keep swimming. They never stop swimming until they can swim out of the pond. A warm breeze embraces my body as if comforting my soul. I take a look at…

online, away from their families. In Blue Gold, Sylvie’s online campaign (p.115) is an example of what people can learn from cell phones and the internet. However, studies now show that the average adult’s attention span is “one second than that of a goldfish.” This is an example of the long-term damage that can be afflicted upon our youth because of technology. Another example is how Fiona reacted initially to her photo in Blue Gold: cell phones can cause emotional damage, as well. North Eugene…

participated, creating a total of 118 participants. The researchers decided to combine the results of both experiments to “increase the power of statistical analyses.” They found that children who watched the a cartoon advertisement ate 45% more goldfish crackers than children who saw a regular advertisement. They strongly believe that their results demonstrate a causal link between snack consumptions and contributes to the obesity epidemic. Although this may be true in some ways, I believe that…

More Kids Are Better Than One Throughout the years, families have shrunk. What once was a family of 10 is now a family of 4. It has become increasingly harder to provide for more than one kid in today's economy. Prices have risen, and the goods that a child requires can break the bank.

Tattoos and piercings are becoming a norm in today’s society, and they can be seen on the skin of teachers and Red Cross workers across the nation. Millennials have deemed these modifications as works of art and self-expression, but one Melanie Phillips poses a different point of view. She claims that these self-alterations are forms of self-mutilation, and they serve only to show how corrupt the values of recent generations have become. Her article utilizes extreme criticism of one man’s tattoo…

released from the program. Later on, it is shown that he is scared to leave, and does not believe there is anything for him outside of the group home. This situation is quietly escalated to the point where Marcus attempts to commit suicide after his goldfish dies. It is here where we the viewer begins to see that, although residential treatment facilities can be effective in many ways, they can also fail in some others that are not always within the control of the care workers. For example, it…

Evading jabs, dodging roundhouse kicks, struggling to keep up. This was the hardest sparring match I had ever faced in my life. Not only, because of the physical aspect, but also the mental restraint. THUMP. I felt as if I had collided with a freight truck right in the stomach. Losing my balance and eventually falling, time momentarily stopped. Who could this mighty opponent I was facing? It was the person most similar to me. A “mini-me,” as most would say: black hair, brown eyes, brown skin,…
