going. Decisions help people go through life each day. An example of a decision is to have an abortion or to give life to a baby. This is the decision that Jig and the American are faced with. A decision can be influenced by a relative, significant other, friend, or even a place. Jig is unsure on what she wants to do but the American wants an abortion and views the baby as a mistake and keeps forcing it on Jig. In Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants,” Jig’s decision occurs in a place that…

basically means that they can be themselves. If an individual were ever in a predicament where they realized they were about to compliment the wrong trait of somebody, they can easily think through their thoughts before speaking in order to make the other person a little more confident in their…

Teamwork is more about being understanding and supportive of each other and communicating ideas and thoughts in between you. I had a similar scenario happen to me in geography class when we were assigned a project that was to be completed in partners. Both my partner and I decided it would be better if we assigned roles and split up the research, as we both excelled at independent work. Afterward, we collaborated by editing the other person’s work and creating the presentation, which proves that…

Rappers today are considered modern day poets, and none more so than Kanye West. In his short book titled Thank You, and You’re Welcome, I found a passage that has forever opened my eyes. West states, “When you’re so focused on what you don’t have…you won’t have.” Since reading this I have learned how to not let my wanting something get in the way of what I already have. I began to make a budget each and every month; if I couldn’t afford something that month, it would have to wait until the next…

“Aahhhh”, a scream came from the upstairs. I quickly ran up the stairs. I heard two more on my way up. I swung the attic door wide open to see Dana stabbing Mas Ruf. In amazement, not knowing what to do or what was going on, watching her stab Rufus two more times I said, “Dana! What are you doing?” She started to scream, and then she vanished, everything but one of her arms which Mas Ruf was laying on. When she vanished, I went over to check the bloody body of Mas Ruf. He was still breathing…

they wouldn’t dare put a label on him. Despite his extra chromosome, he is normal, but most importantly, he is special. With today’s culture, we see less significance in ourselves and more in the people who “matter the most.” Our youth is idolizing others when in reality, they need to take a step back and evaluate themselves. Every single person on this earth will forever have significance tied to their name. No one is made the same, therefore they are all special. Everyone was made differently…

considering we have lived together for the last three years, meaning our level of comfort with each other is high. They know me well and are able to provide me with necessary companionship when I need it most. On the contrary, my parents are also a social support for me. They offer mostly material/instrumental support as well as informational support. When I am struggle to fulfill a payment or am tight on money they are there to assist me in providing material support, and when I am unsure how…

temperance should be suitable for the circumstance (Adler and Proctor II). Meaning, there are times that reasonably call for anger or other emotions which fall within the excess category. The three categories of behavior are excess, mean, and deficit. Acting moderately can change many relationships that one might have. For instance, my relationship with my significant other might not be as strong if I was more moderate in my expression of affection. In my…

Love Languages Having that one friend you can count on no matter what is a special thing, that not everyone is fortunate enough to experience. Abby and me have been friends since my freshman year, and have a strong affinity for each other. We met in gymnastics, and instantly clicked. We have been inseparable since. Our friendship isn’t perfect, we have dialectal conflict just like anyone else, but we will always fight to overcome it. The fact that we share three of the same love languages, has…
