With the main topic, love, we split it into 3 parts which is the 3 different types of love we found in the readings, which are family love, love between friends and also love between 2 people which…

Seeing is a distant way of learning and exchanging with communicating. Moreover, seeing is a way to empower an individual to describe to the environment. In the article “ Ways of Seeing” by John Berger, he states that “Seeing comes before words. The child looks and recognizes before it can speak”(145). Every one of us sees things differently because stationary and individual can be different. An opinion can never make settlement because there are stand together between the words used and the…

Even though it might slow them down, hospitality creates positive relationships between people which ultimately may bring a whole society along. This occurs throughout the Odyssey by Homer.

The selkie placed a gloved hand on the knight’s shoulder as he explained his plan. “The Western Kingdom is vulnerable to attacks currently due to this snowstorm, right? We should use the snow to our advantage and lay siege to some of their cities to claim them for the prince.

Being halfway through the first semester of freshman year can be a strange time. For many students, it can be the point in which the allure of being a college student begins to wear off and reality begins to set in—classes are difficult, living with a roommate might not be as great as it initially seemed, being away from family and friends can be really tough, forming friendships that are as strong as the ones left at home is not an easy task, and for some reason, it seems like everybody is…

making new friends. As a result, it took me less than two years in ESL to be moved to a “normal” class. Furthermore, traversing through these two languages at the age of seven was confusing at times. Spanish, though, always managed to drive away the homesickness so forgetting it was never an option. Although I was young and only had attained little knowledge of English, I always felt useful.
