People say you don't know what you've got until it's all gone. At 14, I learned this to be true in the most challenging and mentally degrading obstacles of my life. Bringing me down to the lowest point in my life and forcing me to realize you must work hard for everything in life. Looking back on this patch in my life, you may think that I would have wished it ever happened, but I'm grateful to have been able to learn my true grit. March 7, 2015. The day my life turned upside down. It was a…

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is characterized as an organism that has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. These techniques use gene splicing to create transgenic organisms for better durability when encountering harsh weather, as well as extreme sustainability when faced with other factors of nature. Some claims suggest that gmos use less land for crops, have more nutrients, and have a faster and sounder production rate. However, despite these comforting traits regarding…

There have been several movies with the same genre where the protagonist is not always the victor, especially when it comes to film scenes that involve racing. I chose the title, “It is not Worth Giving Up When it Comes to Racing,” because in these movie scenes the protagonist does not win a particular car race. After losing the race they realize that it is not over. They realize that one loss is just the beginning to a great new start in their lives. The film scenes being compared…

A human facing back towards a giant hole in the ground of a cave of a mountain titled Mt.Ebott.They took a deep breath hesitating, clutching their pale sweater"....hh.." Their breath wavering quietly, body numb not sure if this was really the right answer to escape all this.Tears form in the corner of their eyes streaming down the cheeks to fall off the chin , thinking and thinking making them light headed. They thought about all the reasons why they shouldn't do this but those thoughts were…

Walking around a pet shop, I spotted fish resembling neon specks floating in a pool of water. As I looked closer, I witnessed a light show being performed by swimming schools of fish. This phenomenon grabbed my curiosity. I found an article by Sarah Zielinski with the title, “The Glow-In-The-Dark Kitty: A fluorescent green cat could help in the fight against AIDS.” “The ultimate goal of this line of research, though, is to figure out how to make humans resistant to HIV, the virus that causes…

@marcelocantuphoto @joycebonelli” (Ishler). Jenner thought this was an innocent picture by the photographer whom she was posing for, but, in fact, this is another example of cultural appropriation. Jenner claimed the picture was taken using black and neon lights at a photo shoot, which presented a false image to appear as though she was wearing makeup. This is an example of cultural appropriation because black people are being made fun of because of their skin color even though they thought they…

Fahrenheit 451 Is equality truly as incredible as it is made out to be? The issue of equality is an issue faced by human beings in every state, in every country, on every continent on planet earth. It is also an issue faced in the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. The issue with equality is that there is no way to truly reach it without handicapping the extraordinary. Also, equality tends to promote mass culture, which is extremely detrimental to progress. Because of this and the examples…

Political views and wars in google sites, “Clothes that were inspired by the space race between Russia and USA became very popular and different materials were used such as discs of metal, plastic linked together with wire, leather and PVC. Metallic and neon colours were also popular”(Source 1). Controversy between countries inspired hippies to wear clothing relating to their views of what’s happening.

The Great Gatsby is praised for its unique and complex symbolism, being acclaimed as one of the most symbolic novels ever written. From the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock to the general color of the room to a more clichè symbol like the weather, everything that Fitzgerald takes time to write down is relevant to something or some issues in America. However, the greatest symbol in the book may be the man who gives his name to the title, Jay Gatsby. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby…

mother and I are, based on the fact that we have the same body type. In reality, we are total opposites. She enjoys gardening and the summer and I enjoy reading and the fall. Our sense of style is even completely different. She loves to wear bright, neon colors and I wear neutral, earthy colors. The differences can go on but even if we both point out our differences, people still seem to point out the same similarities that we share. One other similarity that often people think it cool that we…
