Colbie Caillat is a pop artist who loves to love love, and she’s not afraid of letting the whole world know all about it repeatedly in her 2007 hit album, Coco. Her work was far from enjoyable, but in order to fully dislike her for her work on this album, and to prevent you from picking it up, or listening to another album like it, it’s important to understand some of her past history, such as the reasons that explain her desire to get into the music business in the first place. For instance,…
I chose to develop a lesson on the topic of forces and motion. The intended rationale for this topic is to insure that students understand the force, motion and the relationship between them. I developed this lesson by making sure I followed the ISL philosophy that I personally believe in. Some of the main components I thought about were engagement, socializing, and active learning. All throughout this lesson activity, students would be actively engaged, moving around the classroom in groups…
Sylvia Plath clearly embeds the story of Esther Greenwood into the political situation of the time. The Bell Jar introduces its setting by referring to the execution of the Rosenbergs. In the summer of 1953 Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were accused of and electrocuted for espionage. It was believed that they had passed secret US military information on nuclear weapons on to Soviet Intelligence. The fear of the so-called “red scare” was omnipresent, and it was believed that more and more people…
Colbie Caillat is a pop artist who loves to love love, and she’s not afraid of letting the whole world know all about it repeatedly in her 2007 hit album, Coco. My job is to allow you to learn from my mistakes: NEVER listen to ANY of her music… EVER! It’s a down-right shock that she became a part of the music world in the first place, considering her lack of talent. She did, however, and it’s significant to understand her life behind the music, and how she even received the time of day to make…
“One vote for Dakota,” my dad said as my heart jumped in surprise. I was at my “Survivor” themed birthday party, and I was nervous at the thought that I could be the first one eliminated from my team at my own birthday party. I had experienced a similar feeling of trepidation four months earlier when I attempted to eat a three-pound burger and a pound of fries in an hour at Fuddruckers in Jackson. I had only five minutes left to complete the challenge, but my stomach was on verge of exploding.…
I have a friend named Logan who I have been friends with since about the third grade. We have been pretty much best friends for that whole time. Out of all my other friends he is the one who I can trust the most. He is the one who has spent the most time doing fun things with me. Like last summer he invited me to go to the Black River. Until he invited me I had no idea what the Black River was. The Black River is a pretty small river in comparison to the Kaskaskia or the Meramec. The river is in…

I had been through so much growing up and he never left me alone, I considered him to be my angel. He came over to see me that day so we could make some decisions on Christmas dinner. So much had happened to me that year from meeting that special someone, graduating medical school, and adopting a child. He came to my house bout 5:30 pm and we sat…

Introduction: Eric Schlosser strongly expresses his ethos throughout his introduction. He talks us through exactly what he will express throughout the book and why.
