How You Remind Me

“Where are you going, where have you been?” I’m sure many of us wonder about the title of this essay. It’s somewhat tricky, like a play on words to have you thinking about the meaning. However, the meaning is very clear if you think about it. It also can be a more abstract question, “How did you get to this point and how are you going to get out of it”. It sounds like a question a teenager may get from their parents when they have been out all night or are on their way out, which relates to…

the beauty in life’s pleasures. Renaissance art is very realistic compared to the art of the Middle Ages. Throughout the Middle Ages, art remained more religious. Renaissance artist perceived art in many different ways. For example, they would study how the way things look when they were nearby an object or from at a distance. The artist of these times made it obvious by displaying the two differences in their paintings. Many artists during this era painted religious paintings, but they were not…

What the American Flag means to me The American flag has been a great symbol for two hundred years and it still continues to inspire Americans today. I have always looked at the flag and been inspired by the determination and hardwork it took to make the flag an iconic symbol. It makes me think about what our founding fathers had to do and how hard they had to fight to earn that flag. To me the flag means so much more then what most people would say. If ypu ask someone what this question most…

Suddenly I Became Me Memories are something that everyone cherishes. I cherish my memories because they remind me of whom I was and where I came from. Those memories show me when I started to become me. I started to develop key features of who I was at a young age. I was not going to wear a dress, I was going to play in the mud, and my best friend would not always be nice. My mom will tell anyone how hardheaded I can be, and I can agree to that. I can do so, because my earliest memory is…

named Wilson Rodrigues (also known as Rocket) and how he became a photographer. Although that was the main storyline of the movie, it had many things to build up to him becoming a photographer. In this “city of god”, Rocket and another guy named “lil ze” both grew up together in a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. One, Rocket, becomes a photographer and the other becomes a drug dealer. The director, Fernando Meirelles, illustrated a great story of how greed can ruin someone’s life. Lil…

Hollywood prostitutes, like my brother. If you really want to hear about it, my brother, D.B., is a real damn prostitute. Used to be a real prince and all, till he went out to Hollywood. It kills me. It really does. Anyway, let me tell you something about this book I’m reading by this J.D. Salinger guy, it’s called The Catcher in the Rye, you probably heard of it. I hear it’s really popular. It’s alright, I guess, but to tell you the truth, it bores the hell out of me. It’s about this lousy kid,…

achieved by thinking them over. Morrie not only shared these things for us, but he shared them to remind himself. In essence,“Accept what you are able to do and what you are not able to do”, an aphorism, relates to me personally because that quote can be shown as a person having their limits and seeing what they are able to do. Morrie saw this aphorism as showing yourself what it’s ability is and how good it can be done. “Learn to forgive yourself and to forgive others”, Morrie meant by…

In this essay I would describe what my name means to me, why I have that name, of I would change my name, also I would tell you experiences with my name how some people misspell my name. My name comes From Ioseph, the Latin form of Greek Ιωσηφ (Ioseph), which was from the Hebrew name יוֹסֵף (Yosef) meaning "he will add". This name comes from my father and his from his father, to me this names means powerful, strong, fortified, heavy. It means all this thing because jose sounds like to strong…

sacraments are more than just words, they are actions that as Catholics we must execute. Pope Francis exhibits how they are more than observations; they are an intimate meeting with Jesus. “Let us show the joy of being Children of God, the freedom that living in Christ gives us, which is true freedom, the freedom that saves us from the slavery of evil, of sin, and of death!”(Francis p. 60). He reminds…

While all of the ideas they present are useful for any classroom teacher, not just those who work with ELL students, and can be adopted or not based on students’ needs and teaching style, there is a key component that is essential for success no matter what:…
