I really enjoyed the readings this week, while there were several, they were shorter readings and I was able to focus my attention on each individual one.

In the novel A Christmas Carol, written by Charles Dickens, there are many ways in which Ebenezer Scrooge is redeemed by Jacob Marley’s ghost and the three Christmas Spirits. The novel’s setting starts in London where there are serious world problems lurking.

Dickens depicts this through the main character, Scrooge, showing his redemption from the beginning and end of the…

You are the middle class and above. Now picture yourself again. This time you are still an American. Your are still privileged but in a different way, you do have opportunity, and with a lot of dedication your dreams might come true. You are the the lower middle class and the poor. The way that “The Lives of Others” relates to modern life is that in both instances there is oppression. Even though one environment might have a greater amount of oppression then the other, oppression still exists.…

Growing up, I would describe my background being placed in the middle class spectrum. I was born and raised in Miami Beach, Florida. My parents were migrants from Haiti coming from families that were not impoverished but also not well off. My father came here young in the 80s, being able to adjust and learn how to survive and live in this country. Everything that he has and own was built from the ground up. He was not fortunate to have anything passed on as an inheritance. Life as a child was…

Currently my socioeconomic status is lower middle class. This is primarily due to my recent move back to the Midwest. It has been a hard adjustment because I have always been very career driven and was in the upper middle class for the majority of my career. Ironically, I moved away from…

For example, alcohol has many of the same side effects of marijuana. Alcohol buffers the central nervous system and is known to kill brain cells. A joint of marijuana is known to produce more tar than a cigarette, but on the average marijuana users do not consume enough marijuana to surpass the tar build up of a person who smokes a pack of cigarettes a day.
