It's a Wonderful Life

Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for all of the wonderful people in one’s life. Thanksgiving shouldn’t be ephemeral because it’s a long celebration with loved ones surrounding you. Before every meal, my grandfather prays no malice upon us for the rest of our lives. For that moment in time, it feels as if God is rinsing the evil away because of my grandpa’s prayer. The feast isn’t opulence but that doesn’t matter because we don’t need luxurious things. Thanksgiving can get a little awkward…

One of the most interesting states is California, because it is home to the most national parks in the US, and it’s the first state to have a trillion dollars in GDP (gross domestic product), mostly due to the large population and industries. Apple, Disneyland, and Barbie all started in California. Some of you may be interested in learning that it is also the birthplace of McDonalds. The world’s tallest trees are at home in California. The hottest place on Earth is in Death Valley, California.…

dedicated to the great and diverse people of a city that is only as wonderful as its citizens. San Francisco truly is a melting pot of cultures, beliefs, philosophies, and ideals. If you are looking in from the outside it may not be as obvious to you as to someone who has made a great study of it, however, it is still there. The differences of people here are celebrated rather than duly noted. It's a different world here and I think it's an example that the rest of the world would do well to…

live a life free of the burden of others. But just like food, shelter, and community, rights are not a self-made possession. Through either education or endowment, a right is an external idea that requires others to give or trample. It is a two-player game. The notion of an inalienable right is an oxymoron to me. Everything can be violated or protected; there just needs to be a higher or stronger force than yourself to…

Jonas then sets off to escape the society to save a young child that he learns to love. Personal freedoms are more important than a peaceful society. Would it be fair to give up color to live in a utopia? It's not right give up color to live in a utopia like the one described in the book. Color is wonderful and…

Although it might be hard to see at first, these two POM Wonderful advertisements are actually fairly similar. These two different advertisements actually use some of the same strategies to attract the reader's attention and get the consumer interested in their product even though they are of a different medium. The first advertisement uses a printed image that shows simple colors and a strong message to encourage people to buy their product because it gives them antioxidants; however, the…

performances every semester they can attend. “Some of the audience members we get are family members,” Carlson said, “but we also have students, faculty members, and outside visiting people. You never know who's going to come to a concert, so it's just the sort of wonderful experience where we are all sharing music.” There are a verity of different groups and ensembles…

of humans is wrong, especially to the point of extinction. It’s just inhuman, people who could take orders to do that to people and some of the Nazi’s General would kill for fun. I see it personally has a sign of evil, it’s just pure evil. Schindler’s List was truly an amazing, and just a great story. Oskar Schindler was wonderful at the beginning, and to the end. Oskar Schindler didn’t have much in the start, but he grew into a wonderful business man, not knowing he was helping the Jews at…

of a miser, is not without family- he chooses to disregard the existence of his nephew Fred and lives a solitary life. Both the film and the novella depict this reclusive…

and they were all just in awe. I was finally so happy to have a wonderful family of my own. Many twin babies are born premature, mine were definitely small babies, but they were just the right size and healthy enough that they didn’t have to stay at the hospital longer. On April 12, which just so happened to be my birthday we got to take our babies home. When we got home our families were there to greet them and it was such a wonderful day. That night was Ryan…
