Serenity

When receiving a pair of earrings, it may come as a gift from your significant other or a birthday present, but my circumstances were quite different when I had received these graceful shimmering yellow pieces of jewelry. Traveling into a nostalgic room of my youthful past, I remembered the last time I shared a relatively short yet memorable conversation with my grandmother. She had made a tremendous effort of traveling all the way from Mexico to make her last visit. My grandmother was already…

Does Power Corrupt? Many times when a person walks into a ministry they seek serenity, faith, and sometimes a better life. But there are many people in a person’s ministry that can not only be overly judgemental, but also corrupting to others and to the church. Some reasons of this are superiority, publicity, and opinionated suggestions. But one reason for this may be tradition, and here is why. The reason to why superiority can cause corruption is because of the position they are in the…

The Folklore in My Roots My state is located in the middle west of the Mexican Republic, where the ocean breeze of the Pacific touches the east border and the green, leafy forest covers a vast amount of the south and north side of the state. I am talking about Jalisco, world famous for its tequila that tastes strong and burns your throat, where mariachi gives you the feeling of happiness and unity and the diversity of natural places encourages exploration. This is part of Jalisco, which at the…

my goal was to make an impact on my first assignment. In the 3rd paragraph I wrote, “The unabridged serenity was essential and necessary to my cognitive growth for future endeavors.” In my haste to make a profound statement in my writing, I managed to create a confusing voice that did not sound aesthetically pleasing to the reader. In reality, a better statement would be “The unabridged serenity was essential for my growth as a person.” This statement still uses tier 2 words, but it is clearer,…

My open group observation was of the Lake Area Club, Back to Basic meeting. This is an open meeting, meaning anyone can go. The meeting runs from 8pm to 9pm every Tuesday night. There were two facilitators to the group. In the beginning the leaders told us that we would be reading from the Big-Book and would be studying the steps, but not only studying the steps, we would be takin the steps. The population the group targeted was anyone that was dealing with a compulsive behavior, including…

relentless thinking, I believe, showed that Hamlet was, in fact, dying throughout the whole play. He was losing his faith in God, his faith in himself, and his faith in his family and friends. He consequently began to crave death and desire the peaceful serenity that it would give to him, though he was also fearing the anonymity that death would provide. This was shown when he exclaimed that “Imperious Caesar, dead and turned to clay” is now nothing more than a way to plug holes (5.1 205-206).…

space as a result of its incredible complexity. A wise, transcendental man, Ralph Waldo Emerson, shares the same perspective as I toward nature; there is nothing in this vast, sophisticated world that has the ability to come to the equivalency of serenity nature provides Ralph Waldo Emerson and I. Ralph Waldo Emerson says, “In the wilderness, I find something more dear and connate than in streets or villages. In the tranquil landscape, and especially in the distant line of the horizon, man…

Goldstein touched base on a variety of issues in his article. He made great points in regard to the police force, undocumented immigrants, society, and activist anthropology. For instance, as for the police force; he told in great detail of his experience with them. He even mentions how he now understands why some individuals dislike the police force because of his experience with them. The arrival of the first police car in the article is described as the most intense moment of the display of…

Upon given circumstances, death is mystifying as infallible upon belief or perspection. In Musgrave’s “On the Inevitable Decline into Mediocrity of the Popular Musician Who Attains a Comfortable Middle Age”, the speaker in terms of serenity in death's indiscriminate power mocks it. The abstract presence of the title containing more content than the poem reiterates its unorthodox doctrine of fear. Ideally within the linear representation of the seven stages of grief , testing and acceptance…
