Marley & Me

“The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.” -Bob Marley As a worker in the fast food industry the work is hard and the pay little. I have often found myself going home believing that I was under compensated and over worked. However, over time I began to see my job and the compensation it offered not in the form of my bi-weekly paycheck, but in the form of how many people I affected…

"Men's course will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered in, they must lead. But if the course be departed from, the end's will change. Say it is thus with what you show me." What do you think he meant when he said this? The first ghost to meet the Scrooge during the night was his ex business partner Jacob Marley. When his friend died, the Scrooge tried to scam the man who was burring Jacob. When the man asked for the money the Scrooge only gave him one coin, then the man stormed…

best business partner Jacob Marley died except Bob Cratchit. Nothing in the world would scare Scrooge if it wasn’t about the gold coins. The man, who used to be a heartless person, had changed in just a few nights before Christmas Eve coming. At this point, we must be thankful to three Christmas Ghosts which demonstrated Scrooge life’s faults and gave him a chance to change his bad…

death, it can change the way you talk to people. For example Scrooge, in the Christmas Carol, was mean, and always negative after Marley died because they were good work mates. They would work together and do a lot of things together.After Marley had died he was grumpy and didn’t celebrate Christmas like he use to in the past. He was grumpy for a really long time. Before Marley died he was merry, and deferential. But after he was bad-tempered, and discourteous. Then he changed back after the…

the poor, but Scrooge tells him to leave, and argues that anyone who is poor can either go to jail, or go to the workhouse. All because he doesn’t believe in the poor. Marley, Scrooge’s dead partner, comes in and reveals a couple things, “‘Ghosts of terrible people have to endlessly work to make the world a better place.’” When Marley…

Reason for Request: Print or Type Below I decided to pursue my Master of Social Work with faith. I had no idea how I was going to afford this degree but I know god as called me for a time as this and I obeyed. I am requesting this scholarship because of financial difficulties.

materialistic goods, like vultures, in order to gain money for their own. They show no compassion towards Scrooge, only the emotion of relief is felt from his death. Scrooge tells the spirit ' Let me see some tenderness connected with a death, or that dark chamber which we left just now will be forever present to me' (Stave 4) Scrooge is hoping that the spirit will show him a place where there is some emotion connected to his death, reassuring him that someone cares. Instead he is…

thinking of locs you may think of Bob Marley or nappy hair along with smoking marijuana or being unclean. The locs have been around since ancient Egypt and are even discussed in the Old Testament. In the 1930’s Ras Tafari was emperor of Ethiopia. Tafari was forced to exile while an invasion was happening, his soldiers vowed not to cut their hair until their emperor was reinstated. After this the ‘Rasta’ movement started. Reggae became popular and Robert Marley did rock dreadlocks and did smoke…

wrong, so he does not end up like Marley. As part of the rising action, three spirits one at a time show Scrooge his past, present, and future Christmases. It is not until the third spirit shows Scrooge his future, when he realizes that he must change his way of life, for as he tells the last spirit,“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the…

Bob Marley was a dedicated Rastafarian who infused his music with a sense of spirituality. He is considered one of the most influential musicians of all time and credited with popularizing reggae music around the world, serving as a symbol of Jamaican culture and identity. Hearing and learning about him was how I first became acquainted with the sound of Jamaican music. Having a cousin who is half Jamaican, I found myself somewhat submerged in the culture. His father would listen to Jamaican…
