Flannery O’Connors “A Good Man Is Hard To Find” is a story that discusses a grandmother and her family going on a vacation that ultimately ends and their deaths. There deaths were led by the grandmothers’ tendency to not know when to stop talking and from not being able to go with the intentional plans. In a way the story should be titled A Good Woman Is Hard To Find, because the irony of who was really good and who was really bad left the ending with a plot twist. If the grandmother had been a…

When I first met my best friend I had just started seventh grade. She was thirteen years old, she had long, blond hair and was very tall compared to me. She was wearing a black shirt and a pair of jeans. She was very pretty and looked like she took care of herself. She made it through the first filter in Duck’s Relationship Filtering Model. When she was showing me around she didn’t really talk to me. I could tell she was nervous by her nonverbal communication. Nonverbal communication is when…

Narrative Essay People are not always what they seem. I was in the eighth grade when I truly figured this out. Although I am not proud of it, around that time I would judge people solely on their appearances. I was a teenage girl in middle school, and it was fairly common to judge people around that age. I had a select group of friends, and we were all considered to be popular girls. We were pretty, we all had the same things going on, and we were into the same activities. We all dressed nicely…

I will analyze Verizon using Porter’s Five Forces Model. Verizon faces a strong threat of existing competition. This force deals with the effects of competing firms which influence Verizon as an organization. There are many external factors which guide me to my position regarding existing competition. Besides Verizon, there are other companies that provide similar services as Verizon. Verizon offers diversified services to its consumers. These services range from providing television access to…

It was August of 2015, and I was excited to get to college. I didn’t know what to expect. I knew I was ready to get out of my house and move a hundred miles away to live on my own. My only real worry was I wouldn’t be able to see my girlfriend, Ariel. Ariel is my girlfriend who is in high school. She’s a year younger than me, but 2 grades below. Her eyes are such a bright blue; They almost look fake at times. She is 5’7”, and fits under my arm perfectly. She has long, thick wavy blonde hair that…

On October 24, 2016 I had the opportunity to interview Martha a resident at St Paul’s complex located in Greenville, Pennsylvania. Martha was born on a farm in Greenville in 1931. With three older brothers, Martha, being the youngest, considered herself “an accident.” While in school her brothers joined the military during World War II, so she had to help a lot with the farm chores. Her parents farmed dairy cows, oats, wheat, and hay. She recalled it being hard work, she also spoke of when…

I volunteered as a child supervisor at Any Baby Can on March 9, March 10, and April 6. The Any Baby Can center has a great physical and social environment for the children. I think that a nice physical environment will have a strong impact on children’s learning and development. Any Can Baby center is very well-designed and it allows the children to be able to engage in many focused and fun activities. The center has activities for children such as board games, Legos, and interactive social…

T-Group Reflection two: Final Thoughts Looking back at the at the eleven sessions we had this semester I think I learned a lot from my fellow group members and facilitator. I went into T-group skeptical and not willing to talk about myself with others. After a few sessions, I still felt unwilling, but I felt like as a group we were growing and bonding together. Now that T-group is over I feel a little sad, it was nice being able to distract myself from my own problems and struggles for at least…

I attend Hell House on October 30, 2016 at Trinity Church in Cedar Hill. For me, it was really eye opening and it mentioned topics that are very controversial right now (abortion, sex-trafficking, domestic violence, and racial discrepancies). It was powerful and I appreciate how they mentioned those topics that surround and engulf our media today. However, I did have some issues with the experience. Me, being a believer in Christ I realize that some people just need to hear the gospel more…

In the second chapter of, “Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent” by Eduardo Galeano had a lot of information in it. The chapter also had a ton of themes going on, but the three most important themes in my opinion that I thought was represented in the chapter repeatedly was slaves and cheap workers such as peasants. Another theme was the devastations that occurred throughout Latin America. The last theme that I will summarize was the theme of violence that was…
