Imaginary friend

follow, when I have grown in my childhood. Indeed, Barbie doll is like a life-like figure, who stimulated my imagination, encouraged me to move on when I felt sad, enlightened me when I was in the dark. Interesting, Barbie doll was also my faithful friend, always lending its ear to listening to my stories, happy or sad. In proper perspective, Barbie doll may be just a toy for young children, nothing more, and nothing less. For me, she is a always my companion bringing me joy and solace. My…

things that didn’t exist, talk to people that nobody could see. Her best friend was imaginary. There was only one person who didn’t look down on her, and that was a girl whose initials were A.S. No one remembers her full name. One day, A.S. was told by the mental girl to meet her down in the art room because she needed help with something. After the last bell rang, A.S., being the kind person that she was, went to help her friend. As she made her way down, she could hear a tapping, as if someone…

Louise Hart once said, “Self-esteem is as important to our well-being as legs are to a table. It is essential for physical and mental health and for happiness.” To be “considered” happy food, shelter, and clothing seem to be the only requirements, what about the desire for attention, companionship, communication, and the feeling of wanting to be understood? Humans never want to be alone so to satisfy desires self-confidence has to be high and happiness tends to be a goal to reach. Through…

make my first visit to Poplar Hill Farm, in Jefferson County, Mississippi. Little did I know that I would fall in love with this rural community and many years later be asked to do research work with some of the most wonderful people, that became friends. Armed with hundreds of questions, anticipation and youthful curiosity. Open and receptive to all the stories, they were willing to share, trying to understand their life and the lives of their ancestors, what I did not know was the men I…

What once was known to be someone’s thought that turned into someone’s words is known to be related to poetry. Thoughts and emotions play an important role in not only confessional, but also beat poetry. In Allen Ginsberg’s “A Supermarket in California” different techniques are used to capture a reader’s feelings. Throughout this poem Ginsberg allows the audience to sense emotions in ways such as using word choice with specific punctuation, contrast of metaphors, and use of active voice.…

Paintball is an extremely fun activity to do with friends and family, but is quite dangerous. I believe that the safety of paintball is very concerning and everyone should step back and look at the faults before attempting a game. Paintball can lead to injuries, increased aggression and pain for both you and your family. The paintballs in the paintball gun are meant to be harmless. They may cause pain, but they were made not to penetrate your body. Of course you will be left with welts at the…

These stories are incredible, let us think a lot about how a field like aviation, hard-regulated and that puts great attention to security can be easily cheated. Commercial aviation from the beginning of its story was controlled and regulated to prevent air crashes and any sort of…

Happiness is probably the most difficult word to define. It is obvious the ways to achieve happiness, but what exactly is happiness? Happiness is not something an individual can buy with money or hold in one's hand. It is like a child’s imaginary friend in the way that it can not be seen, but the child knows when it is there. Happiness is a feeling, a feeling greater than any other. According to Webster's Dictionary happiness is defined as a state of well-being and contentment. Happiness has…
