Optimism

When and why did decide you become to a dental hygienist? I have been interested in dentistry for as long as I can remember. I began my journey as a pre-dental student at Western Washington University. During my first quarter, I got the chance to speak with a team from one of the local dental clinics for almost 4 hours. After learning about what being a dentist included and chatting with the dental hygienist at the clinic for about half of my time spent in their clinic, I realized that dental…

Walt Whitman and Langston Hughes, both wrote poems about America. Although both poems are about America, they are written from very different points of view. Walt Whitman’s I Hear America Singing is an optimistic view of America. The theme is the happiness of people in their everyday lives. It describes all types of people and their jobs, like carpenters, masons, and woodcutters. This poem is also patriotic, because it is celebrating American workers and their success. Langston Hughes poem,…

with colon cancer. It came as a surprise because he has always been a really active, healthy person, but cancer is a disease that doesn’t discriminate. Cancer runs in my family, but cancer survivors does not. This made it difficult for me to have optimism of my dad ever being healthy again. I thought there is no cure, so there is no way to get better. Through the rest of 2015 and the next year, my dad was in and out of the hospital, whether it was for surgeries, or because of complications from…

known as “their bags” here on earth (17). This is the only time in the poem where children are playing and acting as children should. The visit from the angel is conflicting because it seems to be supporting child labor while giving Tom unrealistic optimism. It allows him to see the joys that are to come but encourages him to do his job as told. The angel explains to him “if he’d be a good boy, He’d have God for his father, and never want joy” (19-20). By being “good”, it encourages him to…

I do not agree because that will focus on teaching the Buddhist story of suffering, but as a principle “The Four Noble Truths” article 1 is suffering (all of the noble will of power) in general means that most scholars. "The truth of the good life" and interpreted it. According to Buddhism, life is nothing other than misery and suffering not only to teach a man anything that does not look good, it is suffering. Whether or not it's nice to be suffering. Or optimistic reality too is suffering as a…

Steinbeck’s rhetorical style in the Grapes of Wrath conveys his values by using oxymorons and parallelism to add dramatic detail and also to add a sense of amazement to the story in order to draw the reader deeper into the story. Steinbeck uses his own sense of style to add an artistic effect all throughout chapter 25, this style added so much to the story, on the lines of showing the reader how the people had felt through the entirety of the story. Steinbeck’s rhetorical style showed the sorrow…

came out and admitted his sins and even tried to change so he could be a better person. By the time of his death, he was a respected man and will be remembered just like his brothers. In conclusion, the Kennedy line does represent a time of hope and optimism, which is exactly what Camelot was said to be. All in all, there wasn’t ever a real Camelot, even if people says there is. It’s just a figment of their imagination, although, it is good to let your mind wonder about these…

The three main points that Dr. Cloud presented was learned helplessness, the three P’s, and reverse learned helplessness. Dr. Cloud presented information I did not know prior to my reading. The information was very thought provoking. As I reflect upon my own seasons of inactivity, I have come to understand that I suffered from the principles Dr. Cloud asserts in this portion of the book. In my previous pastorate, the church suffered from what Dr. Cloud calls learned helplessness. By the…
