How You Remind Me

1) Growing up, I listened to all sorts of music with my parents. Both had really different tastes of music and it allowed me to get a great appreciation for different things. The song My Wish by Uncle Cracker meant a lot and means even more to me now that I am older, because my mother would always say, “Now girls, I really hope you will remember this when you get older and never give up on anything in life.” As kids, my sister and I would say, “Yes momma”, and the day would continue on. I did…

is defined as the assertion that something exists or is true. When the freshmen class was told to think of a positive affirmation that they could remind themselves of throughout the school year, my first thought was grades. Grades are what differentiates each student from one another. It’s the difference between a 2.9 and a 3.0 that shows whether, you have drive and a good handle on time management, versus a procrastinator that can hand average work in last minute. I decided to make my positive…

The first thing that comes to my mind when I look at a book or even think about a book is what was I doing while I was reading that book. What was happening in my life? How old was I? Some the books I have choosen for my bookshelf have completely rewired my train of thought or allow me to revisit memories and shape the books I read in the future as well as what my choices for reading and my education in the future. Peef The Christmas Bear and Disney’s Princess collection are part of my…

out.”. It reminds me that no matter how bad things may get, it will always get better. I go through life slowly, taking everything in and trying new things. Through the years I have been figuring out who I am. The three most important symbols on my mandala are soccer ball, heart, and a cross. The first symbol, soccer ball, stands for soccer, my favorite sport. Soccer takes me to a whole new world. Over the years I have tried many different sports, but I have found that soccer fits me best. In…

stories which give them life and either lift me or burden me. These burdens shape the kind of man I am becoming. The things that you carry help create your character in the game of life. The simple wallet holds things that I treasure and they give me reminders for various things. My license is the main object in my wallet. The little plastic card with my picture, my date of birth, and my address helps me remember a few things. The picture of myself reminds me that I am my own person and that no…

In the reading of the book time machine, I hated how it constructs the two groups and how they work. It gives me the sense of high school the popular vs. the loners that we all perceive. It really reminds me of mean girls the plastics vs the losers, where you see Regina George stereotype against Janis and Damian. In life, it is like comparing Protestants against Catholics, they are both people but they live very different ways of life. I see these Morlocks and Elio as on distinctive sides of the…

“Yesterday you confiscated my books! You had the nerve to—” (1390; 15). During dialogue between Tom and Amanda, he mentions how she has little care for him such as, “It seems unimportant to you, what I’m doing—what I want to do—having little difference between them!” (1391; 30). One reason Amanda doesn’t accept him is because he reminds her of her husband. She admits, “It’s terrifying! More and more you remind me of your father! He was out all hours without explanation!—Then left! Goodbye!…

a warm summer breeze that reminded me of his love, but it 's the city’s cold breath today that does. Maybe I like it that way, or perhaps that 's just what I 've grown used to over the years. I know I’m colder, like him, hiding my feelings as he does, never bothering to talk about what bothers me anymore. It only turns into a fight that one of…

Panic! at the Disco is a song that has a gloomy feel to it. When I listen to this song, it makes me think about how Holden feels. The lyrics are a bit depressing and I believe that this relates a lot to Holden. “There's no sunshine this impossible year. Only black days and sky grey and clouds full of fear and storms full of sorrow that won't disappear…” is a lyric at the beginning of the song that reminds me of Holden’s negative thoughts on his life and other people. For example, he feels sad…

They both had a lot of experiences with the flower and even that reminds them of all they've been through. "And beside it was yet another old friend, a small shrub with waxy leaves and dainty flowers with dainty flowers with purplish petals and white centers. " They both considered that flower, that simple flower to be…
