    In George Orwell’s novel “1984,” one important slogan of the government in charge is,“Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.” As evident in this quote, the government of Oceania is totalitarian, seeking control over every aspect of its citizens’ lives.

The Ministry of Truth replaces and…

    Task 1 My own fitness past and future Growing up I was an active child, well as active as a child can be. Unfortunately the older I got the active I was; instead of playing outside I would watch T.V.

It wasn’t until I got to high school that I decided that I needed to at least try, it was a fresh start and a chance for me to improve myself but I was still afraid. What I…

    Here I am, about to begin my 19th year on this planet, and I think it’s safe to say that at this point I’ve experienced, loved, and detested about 100 different versions of myself. Now, don’t be fooled, I am definitely nowhere near the absolution of “finding myself,” (though I don’t think that anyone ever truly is) but I’ve got to admit that I’m pretty darn proud of the woman that I have become. I’ve lived a privileged life since the moment my existence was just a mere possibility. From the time…

    Throughout my life I have experienced dramatic changes in my childhood by moving around from country to country; and this led me to feel unattached to people, but helped me express myself through art. Altogether in a span of 23 years I have lived in Canada, El Salvador and The United States, because of those changes I really never envisioned myself on what I wanted to do as a professional. I used to be confused where my future was heading; as time approached I knew I had to choose a path towards…

    The Houston runway was quickly disappearing beneath me, the plane ascending, leaving my stomach dismantled on the tarmac. I couldn’t believe what was happening. I was truly on a plane, by myself, headed to Buenos Aires, Argentina. My mother laughed at the thought of me living abroad; consistently making it known my ideas were childish, financially unstable, and unattainable. With a slight grin pulling at my lips, I close my eyes and begin to wonder what the world will look like on the other side…

    There is no running from the past. Yet, there is no going back either. The past can not be altered, and it is impossible to recreate the past. Although it is plausible to buy materialistic objects that represent the past or are from earlier years, it is unfeasible to capture the same feelings and emotions that happened before. As well as recreating the past, there is not time machine that someone can go back in and change their life. This dilemma was the conflict of the famous Jay Gatsby in the…
