Radio Hauraki

In my previous paper I talked about what it is like to communicate with me from my view. I compared my communication skills to painting a picture, and just like painting a picture I want to make sure I do not miss any details. In part three I will interview: my mom, my boyfriend and my sister. I have known all three for a very long time and have had multiple conversations with various topics. In this paper you will see what it is like to have a conversation with me threw their perspective along…

description of the radio, the emphasized quality of the radio is not its size, but its aesthetic dissonance. "Irene was proud of her living room...[but] the new radio stood among her intimate possessions like an aggressive intruder"(Cheever 251). The constant remarks in regard to the radio's physical appeal serve as more than mere initial speculation, and rather as a forewarning.

When I first saw the title of this poem, I automatically knew it was going to be about someone that use to play basketball, but I never knew the guy in the poem would end up the way he did. This poem is about an ex-basketball player, named Flick Webb, who use to be the best in his town. The third stanza talks about how he was an outstanding player and some of his accomplishments. However, the two stanzas at the beginning and the two stanzas at the end tells the life of the basketball player…

While reading “The Osage Firebird,” I saw how the structure of the text, led to one another. Meaning, when the author, Sudipta Bardhan, wrote this passage she made it connect really well to each other. While reading the passage, I observed how she did it. She did it by adding one detail in one section, then that one detail becomes the main idea for the next section, or for any section. I saw the connection of each section near the end, since in the beginning of the passage, I didn’t see any.…

In the article “Faking Cultural Literacy”, Karl Taro Greenfeld explains how in our society we need to admit that we do not know everything, and that we should start learning more of certain topics. Greenfeld uses different stories from his life to allow the reader to connect with him and see how this problem occurs in our lives as well. Greenfeld talks about how this has become an epidemic in our society, that we would rather fake knowledge about a topic rather than admit we do not know…

“A person who has been rejected by society or a social group.” The word Outcast. However, it goes deeper than that, in to a person’s brain where it all started with a single person bullying them. Then several people start to bully you as you grown and get older, and then all the sudden one day it stops, they no longer see you. Everyone has experienced the feeling of being an outcast at least one time in your life, and if you say you have not, think back to the time you were just starting school…

The genealogies of Seth and Cain seem pretty boring a first glance. However, you can actually pull a lot out of Chapter 4,5 in Genesis. I would like to compare and contrast details that I have found very intriguing. First, I would like to talk about a few things that we distant to Cain’s line like how the line started with cain and not God or Adam. Also why it mentions a city in his genealogy and what that could mean. As well as why what Lamech said is so important. Then I would like to show you…

I was waiting outside her house listening to my music. She came out with a piece of toast and her mouth and I chuckled. I thought it was very cute. We started walking to school, hand in hand.

We talked about our guy things and saw the teacher come in. Everyone was quiet as a mouse once he came. He is…

Though out my time in HDFS 3080, I have caught myself putting the effective interpersonal skills we have learned to use. I am now more conscious about the way I talk to others, and how I formulate responses. I have learned that the effective interpersonal skills I have been taught actually do help me communicate more effectively. In this exercise, I was to choose a relationship partner and engage in a relationship assessment. I chose my boyfriend of 8 years, Hunter. Goal 1: Increase Your Level…
