In the second part of Thich Hanh’s book, Peace is Every Step, he discusses the methods of transformation and healing. He touches upon the aspect of feelings and how we should go about to heal ourselves and understand others on a deeper level. The three main aspects he describes are dealing with anger, understanding and recognizing differences in others, and community. Thus, overall theme of part two is being mindful about our feelings while also being sensitive to other’s feelings around us, as…

I became consumed by my anxiety which grew into depression. I had no peace of mind and my stomach was always in knots. I was simply going through the motions mindlessly, stopped eating and began to distance myself from my friends and family. I carried a lot of guilt because my life was great, my grades were exceptional and I was so loved but I was miserable despite…

But that’s not what happened. He had said his name and he lost all control. His voice reminded him of mowed lawns and garden hoses. He taught him how to ride a bike by taking him to the top of a grassy hill by his house. “I’m right behind you,” he whispered in his ear before giving him a push. He felt wild – out of control and travelling way too fast – but he was doing it. He was riding a bike. The euphoria was addicting and he let out a whoop. When he reached the bottom fear caught hold and he…

and the book. The book and the movie are shown to us in different ways. Scout is the main character being told about to the audience in the book, but Jem is the main character in the movie. In the movie, Jem is the one that finds the items in the knot hole in the tree. In the book,…

It was dark but not pitch black, there was sunlight peeking through the window, which was covered with wood that you can tell the person who placed it there was too short to reach the top part of the window. The sun had spotlighted the door as though it was destiny calling. I didn't know where I was or how I got there which drove my nerves crazy. My mouth was covered with what seemed to be 100 layers of duct tape which left my mouth tingling with the unpleasant taste. Both my hands were tied…

In the words of the thought that crosses every judge or jurors mind, justice is a fickle mistress, entirely dependent upon the context it is placed in and the lenses through which one views it. Demonstrating this concept perfectly, “A Jury of Her Peers” by Susan Glaspell was published in 1917, a time period littered with the glaringly obvious disparities between men and women’s societal roles. Originally adapted from Glaspell’s one-act play Trifles, “A Jury of Her Peers” is a fictional account…

Dave Stevens is an artist from British Columbia, Canada. He created his piece at home using the hand printing technique from a woodblock plate. The woodblock was a plank piece of fur. It had little bit of grain to it, which he says makes it hard to carve sometimes and he prefers yellow cedar. For inking he used and old roller from an offset press that a woodwork teacher had fixed up for him. I particularly liked it because it had handles to the sides just like a kitchen rolling pin. It seemed…

down on the women. What I found ironic was when I read the ending is when I felt the twinge when the wife’s told the husbands that Mrs. Wright had decide to knot it when they were talking about the quilt. The men were saying slick comments about whether Mrs. Wright was going to quit or knot it. Then the act end and Mrs. Wright was going to knot it because that’s the only thing she knew how to do. Glaspell also use variety of symbols in the play. The bird cage was one of them. Mrs. Hale and Mrs.…

be, Tower of Terror, but is now, Guardians of The Galaxy is a recommended ride to all adrenaline lovers. A ride where, sitting in the dark, while waiting it to drop in any minute, and with a knot in the stomach, grasping on to the handle bars harder than a kid grasps his toy, then as the ride drops, the knot rushes up to the throat squealing in fear, those are the best types of rides. A magical day at Disneyland and California Adventure Park is full of adventures and surprises. The…
