Peer pressure

The first day of English 101 I was unsure what to expect. As a running start student, college was foreign and daunting. Over the quarter, this definitely changed as I became more comfortable with the college environment and assignments. My worries for this class quickly dissipated over the first week or so once I knew it wasn’t that drastic a change. After receiving the assignment calendar, I felt ready for the classwork. I was equipped with the readings and usually completed my work before the…

The topic I decided to extended my knowledge about is the idea of teenage rebellion. Why must teens want to resist and stray as far away from their parents word as possible?

fast. It seems like yesterday when I was first hired in summer quarter to be a Peer Mentor. I used to have a lot of imagination about what it would be, and how I would react with my mentees when I officially become a Peer Mentor.

When I first received my cohort assignment email said that I would be a Peer Mentor for IESL level 1 and 2, I honestly got a little bit panic. I…

R.L Mathews clearly portrays a negative perception of teenagers throughout the article influenced by his view that all teenagers are repulsive hooligans. His ideas are shown through the use of emotive vocabulary, statistics and metaphors. The use of emotive vocabulary has been incorporated by the author to present teenagers as a disease and the symptoms affiliated with it. Evidence for this is “Teenagers are the scourge of our society. Teenagers are rude and inconsiderate”. The quotation…

Theodor Seuss Geisel, who is most commonly known as Dr. Seuss, was an author and illustrator of many children’s books (Biography.com). The quote “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind” by Geisel is admired by many because it expresses the idea that no one should be weary to be themselves around others. As Geisel claims, people who truly care will respect and accept those who are themselves. This appears to be a common concept; In…

aimed to present the shocking nature of reality contrasted with scenes of surrealism. One such example of this is Henrik Ibsen’s Peer Gynt. The titular character confronted his own hubris as he interacts with characters that are metaphysical and highly symbolic, and this feature of the play connects to the prevailing themes of the modernist movement. During his travels, Peer Gynt is confronted by the troll king and prompted with a critical question: What is the difference between troll and man?…
