The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. Randy Pausch was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer before he started writing his book.. The book is a collection of stories that the author wrote in order to teach the reader lessons that could help them in life.

This book helped me learn things not only about myself, but also about the rest of the world. When I first picked up…

predominant aspects of my life and my personality that have stayed fairly consistent, my shyness being chief among them. It is this characteristic that has perhaps affected me the most throughout my life, and much of the change and development that I have undergone has been in terms of how I let my introverted personality affect my interactions with others. I have experienced several monumental events that have brought about these changes, and for this reason, I can categorize my life into…

unpredictability of the outcomes of things in life, even traumatic ones such as exile. No matter how horrific things get, there can always be a possibility of happiness from the pain. In Huxley’s Brave New World, exile is a very important central theme.

The only thing wrong with The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, is that it had to come to an end. After deeply analyzing this wonderful novel and writing numerous papers on it, I still wanted to learn more about certain characters and of life in Gilead. Throughout the novel there are many addresses to Offred's husband, Luke, with only a vivid explanation of what had happened to him. My fan fiction wanted to elaborate on Luke’s story, by immersing the reader into the Lukes own shoes through his…

many people believe in regards to the betterment of human life. As humans we face things in our lives that make us seem less human. Reebok’s Ad, “Be More Human”, comes up with scenarios that everyday people experience in their daily lives. In a way, what Reebok believes in defines me as a person through diversity, mental health, and physical health. It is these three pillars of the Reebok advertisement which I most relate to in my daily life. Have you ever felt like your body was never up to…

explore, and be free. There’s a lot of great activities at the cabin, and great activities usually create great memories. The cabin as a retreat gives a person the opportunity to catch up with their inner selves. The cabin allows for the opportunity for life to slow down. I wake up when I want, I eat when I want, I go to bed when I want. There are no alarms nor schedules. Everyday changes to how I want it to be. I’m in control, I got this. Stroll outside feel the cool grass on my bare feet and…

foil. The involvement of Jane in music is also used by Hunter as a tool to connect and compare Jane’s relationship with both Henri and William. The gap in the paternal relationship between Jane and Henri paved the way for William’s entry into Jane’s life. “The father-daughter relationship is generally the first significant relationship a girl will have with someone of the opposite sex” (Haaz, et al. 172), and through Henri’s lack of paternal involvement, Jane has developed a youthful attraction…

Nathaniel Hawthorne creates a tripartite topography made up of the forest and wilderness, the Puritan Town, and the threshold. The forest and wilderness, composed of trees and a brook, embody freedom. The Puritan Town, which is filled with Puritans, the prison, and the scaffold, epitomizes rigidity and hypocrisy. The threshold, although relatively barren aside from a rose-bush and Hester’s cottage, signifies a boundary between Puritan Town and the forest and wilderness. Through the juxtaposition…

After returning home, Mary was quite worried about what Lord Craven would do to the garden. “You brought us back to life, you did something I thought no one could do, don’t be afraid, I won’t shut it up again.” When he referred to “it”, that meant not only the garden but his heart too. Collin and Mary no longer had to worry about him leaving them again, he was going…
