If you have ever take care of a sick baby, you know sick babies are the worst.

While going through my pediatric rotation in nursing school,…
At the beginning of the year, I described war as something that is inevitable, something that is so engrained in human existence. It, like many other human advancements like agriculture and technology has grown over the course of time. It has become in a sense “more”. More violent, more destructive, and more overwhelming.

to this course, I was already spiritually connected to God. I had a profound personal bond with Him that I found through my own spiritual journey. I was not taught to be Christian or to love God, I found God for myself. However, I always felt guilty that I didn 't know any of Christianity 's history. Don 't get me wrong, I knew the vague basics, but I didn 't know anything past that. For example, I knew Adam and Eve were God 's first human creations and that they disobeyed him, but I didn 't…

that skaters are delinquents and poorly educated. Being a skater, I completely disagree with these ludicrous stereotypes. In 2010, there were 308,747,508 people in the United States.

century, but the historical movement that shocked me the most was the “Iconoclasm”. Iconoclasm as defined in our textbook is a “systematic destruction of religious icons because of their religious connotations”(336). The reason behind that important movement came after the Protestants or anti-Catholics, who wanted to reform Christianity, criticizing most of its false doctrines, so they wanted to fix the corruption in the Catholic Church. If a person looks at the catholic churches at that time,…
The author describes, “‘Where'd you swipe the old tub?’ asked a squat and hairy man, with cruel eyes and Mexican features” (London 8). Jack London describes Mexican features person appearance through the narrator view of him. The author describes, “‘Well, I don't admire your taste, that's all,’ sneered he of the Mexican features. ‘I'd rot on the beach first before I'd take a tub that couldn't get out of its own way’” (London 9). Jack London uses characters speech to help…
