Interpersonal ties

Throughout the course of our life, we are bound to feel emotions, but we go through phases where we feel nothing and we are desperate to feel something. The “thing” about “fall[ing] half in love” is that “you never know where you are” and it feels as if it is an “atomic bomb” in which it explodes. You are either in love or you are not in love, there is no half way there and I think that Holden is trying to push himself to falling in love so that he can feel something again. Holden feels as if…

What is a mentor? There are so many different interpretations of what a mentor is and who a mentor should be. The definition of a mentor that I find most fitting is a person who works with someone or others in a positive, constructive way so that both the mentor and the protégé have the potential to grow through the relationship. The person I chose for this project is Alex Carter. She is a junior in her second semester of nursing school and a friend of mine who has helped me prepare for the…

Correspondingly, the love juice’s effect on Titania addresses the artificialness of young love. Titania, controlled by the juice, became madly in love with Bottom, a man whose head was turned into a literal ass. Shakespeare continues to add to the idea of untrue love through Titania’s words when she says to Bottom “thou art as wise as thou art beautiful…and I do love thee” (3.1.131,138). This further illustrates how this love is only that of appearances and not of deep and meaningful emotion. A…

1. Lyons and Cory. Explain their key characteristics; their relationship with and appraisal of their father; their potential as individuals to live a fulfilling life. Which of these brothers comes furthest in this play in terms of genuine growth? When it comes to Lyon and Cory I believe Cory’s growth was more significant than Lyons.

“Arrogance is thinking you are above someone else, confidence is knowing no one is above you.” (Habeeb Akande). Although both Tom and Yetta live in New York during the same period, their lifestyles are very different. Tom does not have a job and acquired his riches from “old money” (inherited wealth), allowing him to live in his mansion in East Egg. Under his circumstances of his lavish lifestyle, he becomes arrogant/prideful. In contrast, Yetta has a job in a shirtwaist factory, earning very…

There are many factors in our society that have played a crucial role in growth, such our families, religions, neighborhood, town, countries, and many more. They have affected our abilities, knowledge, behaviors, skills, and attitudes in so many different angles, good or bad. And all these, make us who we are today and we can’t deny it. For example, in Kinshasa, The Democratic Republic of Congo, there is a town called Kintambo where there are many catholic churches. People who live there, their…
