Our Sunshine

whole life? It happened to my family on an autumn day in October 2010. When my brothers and I were woken up by the first sunshine of the day, we knew that we would face it, which we had been waiting for ten years. Mixed feelings showed on my family members’ faces: worry, anxiety and happiness because we were going to have the immigrant interview to America. I still remembered our appointment was set at 11 am, but we arrived the U.S. Embassy early. It was because not only we could not sleep…

great song to listen to. The song is definitely a hard rock song, with a beat to make you bob your head to. How blind are we to what happens in our society? Do we really know what is going on in the world, besides what media feeds us? This song really enlightens us to some facts about our government and our military that we didn’t know about. The corruption of our government is worse than what we thought, and we are just mindless people who believe anything we are told. In the first stanza we…

African American man head coach of the football team, tensions rise between the White students and the Black students, as well as the members of the community. There are many examples of cultural differences seen in this film that are still relatable to our world today. Prejudice is a concept seen consistently in Remember the Titans. Prejudice is a attitude or judgment conceived about an individual or group without any prior knowledge about that group…

That’s not fair. We usually argue for the justice when things is unfairness. Equity and justice is what we want to achieve for in our life, although it could not happen in every event. People try to hold it as justice as they can. In the autobiography, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, and the book, Property, authors not only show the hard life of the slavery, but also present the unfairness between male and female. It is totally different of being a male and a female. Both of the story…

to this quote, I would like to add that the outcome is not always successful, but it still takes an enormous amount of courage to step out of the norm and do what is unexpected. I chose the story of seven-year-old Olive from the movie Little Miss Sunshine. Olive participates…

own morals and beliefs. Those beliefs shape us into who we are as a person. We all have our own distinct qualities and traits that we keep hidden deep inside us. Our character is shaped and formed from those morals and beliefs that we hold dear to us. Character is what defines who we are. When you have a good character, you have qualities and traits that shape our moral characteristics and our behaviors. Our character is the most valuable thing possessed by a person. Character represents who we…

No more drivers getting annoyed by jamming on busy freeways. No more crowds thronging on the venerable marble roads beside the Union Square Park. No more travelers standing at the center of the Time Square and smiling to their cameras. No more children picking up snowballs and throwing to each other, except sometimes, they use shovels instead to collect snow for water resources. No more vagrants wandering in dark alleys with wrecked shopping carts in their hands. No more electricity powers. No…

imagery. Hester transitions due to the burden of the scarlet letter burning upon her bosom. At one time she was a ray of sunshine herself, but the scarlet letter and Pearl diminished her light, seemingly even absorbing it themselves. In fact, Hawthorne describes it as if the sun flees from her. On page 144, Hawthorne shows this to the reader. "Mother," said little Pearl, "the sunshine does not love you. It runs away and hides itself, because it is afraid of something on your…

Everything that is ours will be disowned or will be left behind when we pass away. The flowers that we often offer to express love don’t last in their perfect condition for too long. Similarly, the most eye-catching beauty isn’t eternal either. According to Barbara Fredrickson…

Lake Wylie, and it was breathtaking. The bright sun was shining, trucks docking their boats, and anxious people ready to get into the water. We docked our boat, parked the truck, and off on our exploration we went into the lake. I immediately went right onto the tip of the boat just to get that front seat view. I sensed the rays of sunshine beaming on my skin, the smell of the salty water in the air, and felt the water hitting up against the boat. The tight turns were so bumpy and…
