It Was Written

It was the winter of 1933, I lived in a small house just big enough for me and my family. It's located in Portland Oregon, a beautiful town living in the Great Depression. Our house always smells of smoke from the burning of wood and coals we use to keep warm. The smoke of the fire flies over our house and goes with the wind and gust of snow. From the time I was little my mom knew I would be a hard worker. Dad had taught me all of the jobs boys normally do, so I might have a better life. I was…

4. What leadership qualities do you want to develop? Please explain and give details. If I was to truly think about which leadership qualities that I wished to develop, I would have to start with articulating a vision. I do believe goals are one of my strong leadership qualities, articulating a vision is not. I can easily see a goal I need to achieve, but knowing what that goal is working towards is harder for me. There are some cases where I have a vision of what I wish to achieve, usually…

These preconceived notions inhibit us from seeing that creativity can permeate in all classes, rather than stop it beyond english, art, or music class. “On Education” may not apply to schools or education today (it was written in 1789, only fourteen years after the United States was a country), but Elizabeth Bentley’s perception on education seem to be the same ones shared by students today towards science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) related classes at East. There monotony is…

Lucy v. Zehmer: The court focused on the contract being written in Zhemer’s handwriting and the both of them signed it. Even though Zehmer told Lucy the next day that it was the liquor talking and that he didn’t want to sell the farm, the court believed that Lucy was serious about purchasing the farm because he believed the contract was legit. By believing in the contract, the next day he focused on getting the money. The night they met at the restaurant, Zehmer had told Lucy that he…

Thank you very much. This is — great to be with people I truly feel comfortable with. Please sit down. They’ll say I didn’t get a standing ovation because they never sat down. And I say, I got one standing ovation because they never sat down. But I want to thank you. I have great, great love for what you do and the way you do it. And when I’m with the police chiefs and I’m with the sheriffs of our country — and these are the big ones. These are the really big ones. I just want to thank you…

Jordan’s text, when she is talking about a book that she assigned to her students to read for homework. The students were counterattacking the book about how it was written, and the language in which the book is spoken in. As they were discussing about the book, Jordan observed that the students were speaking the same way to how the book was written, and the students weren’t even conscious that they were speaking the same way. Sometimes when people see other people that speak of their language,…

Even though "Hills Like White Elephants" was written in the 1920's, the topic of the story continues to be a controversial subject. The word abortion is never used throughout the story, but it is obvious early to the reader that the American is persuading a woman named Jig to undergo the procedure. It is evident she does not want the operation, but the American ignores her subtle hints. He pretends to be concerned with her thoughts and tries to moderate the difficult operation she is about to…

imprudent, careless, or forgetful...But he had not been a soldier of Christ then,” (276). All of which explain the most simple main ideas of each section, going only into the history of it all, which, is mostly widely known. However, once again, his point was never…

The Winning Thought (Three Messages from The Rocking Horse Winner) When Rocking Horse Winner was written it was written in third person point of view, which means that the narrator doesn’t take part in the action. When D.H. Lawrence wrote this he really thought about how to make the reader question themselves and see if they may have acted like this at one point in time. Not only does it make them question themselves but it points out some very informational messages and themes that we can…

When the pregnant population exceeded a very high number, the scan was authorized. The Nano utilized for one lady was not ever acceptable, and yet, I stared at an override giving access for just that. One patient tested with the Nano. And the weirder thing, looking over the override, it was written in code. I merely deciphered it without even realizing, my gene giving me the ability. Now why would a higher-up need a Nano and then conceal the scan from rest of the medical community? I took out…
