Never have I ever

When determining the meaning of rape we all have different opinions. A couple weeks ago I defined rape as a person having sexaul intercourse or any other physical abuse without the consent of the victim. However after reading and analyzing the article “Perspectives on Acquaintance Rape” by David G. Curtis I have formed a whole new definition of what constitutes rape . While reading I came across the controversy on how to define the word rape and the word consent. As an example, most would say…

Alexander the Great Alexander the Great one said, “There is nothing impossible to him who will try.” I strongly think that Alexander was a hero in history. He accomplished many things and conquered many lands which brought together different people and backgrounds. Alexander took over the territory of his father, Philip II, after he dies and was very successful at keeping the legacy of the family alive. Alexander the Great was a very important conqueror and had a very accomplished life. One…

There are many events in my life that has shaped me and the way I am today; but there are two main events that have shaped me dramatically. First one when I six and one when I was in 8th grade, both two way different things but they both tie together and make me who I am and who I will always be. It all starts when I was six years old and I just got done playing my soccer game at the Blue Valley Activity Center (BVAC). It was a warm summer day and our game was over and it was time to go home.…

dream world and the first time he experiences happiness and things he has never seen before happen right in front of his eyes. The text states, “I fantastically associated these things with every-day events, and thought them more natural than the colored pictures of living beings which I found in many of the mouldy books. From such books I learned all that I know… As I did so there came to me the purest ecstasy I have ever known; for shining tranquilly through an ornate grating of iron, and down…

every beep I was more unsure. I felt like I would never recover. It was like someone telling me, “This may be your last chance playing your favorite sport.” Through the screaming and the numbness I was scared. I looked down and my knee was out of place. I was unable to walk off the field. Football is my favorite sport. The cheering crowd and my loyal teammates were a part of my life every week for over ten years. Then one game I was being removed off the field by an ambulance. All the sudden, I…

softest stuffed animal you have, and then imagine it being hand-sewn my the sweetest woman in your life, your grandmother. Back when I was 3 years old, my grandmother, Eleanor, sewed me a snowman and gave it to me as a Christmas present. When I opened the present, I immediately saw the pure white fabric, a bright orange nose, and two black buttons as eyes. Quickly after unwrapping the present, the snowman and I, whom I named Eugene, quickly became best friends. When I first received him, Eugene…

“It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known (Dickens, 446)”. Charles Dickens wrote A Tale of Two Cities, a book about Charles Darnay, Sydney Carton, Alexandre Manette, and Lucie Manette set around the French Revolution. In this book, many characters were faced with hardships and stumbled upon the recurring theme of being recalled to life. Sydney Carton, however, had the most interesting story for behind…

There have been many teachers that have taught me alot, but one very noteworthy friend takes the top spot. I would like to honor Jeff Strobl as the light in the darkness from my deranged junior year of high school. He was not only a teacher, but a mentor that I could talk to about anything. He looks up to me similarly to that of a family member: like a son he never had. Even from the first day we met, he knew I had potential to do extraordinary things in life. Walking to his class the first…

they have learned a new word for the first time or as if they saw something extraterrestrial. People can say that they know their culture or ethnicity, but tell me this. Can they look at you in your eyes and tell you what their cultural identity is? I can truthfully tell you that I can't say that I am one culture because I am part of many and can never be defined as part of a certain culture and sometimes it can create conflict. Three different cultures I can name off the top of my head that I…
