Something Wicked This Way Comes

"Raiden...what is this?" "Sorry little Rei-chan, I didn 't want to do this. But for the sake of our future, please come with me." "What?" "He means that from the beginning he was never on your side." The old fake Zen said, smirking. "You guys didn 't know that he was never part of your family! He’s part of the secret organization that is against the Kanzaki family" He laughed, a very nasty and ugly laugh. Was he talking about Cocytus? It wasn 't much of a secret, and calling them an…

I could afford to keep going to college. Cheating isn’t something that I enjoy doing, it’s something that I regret because it takes away from my learning. At the time, I felt like I had no more options. I came down sick with mono for 3 months to the point I couldn’t even get up to eat for days because I couldn’t get the energy to get out of bed. I tried to make it to my classes but even when I did I was too out of it to ask questions. This caused me to have a building mound of…

case that Balfour was one of the smaller schools in Regina, so within time I found my place. How I found my place was involving myself. At the grade nine open house almost every other student stressed, “Get involved! It’s the best way meet people and find your place!” This statement was so true.

communication that I need to work on is speaking up for myself. I tend to let people walk all over me instead of defending myself. I try to avoid conflict anywhere I am but by ignoring the problem, it doesn’t ever change. In order to ensure that I improve this area of communication, I will be more assertive. Whenever I encounter a situation where I feel uncomfortable, I will speak up and let the other person know how I am feeling. I will express myself in a polite but forward manner so that I…

As an individual of society, most of us were probably taught to “not judge a book by its cover” or “walk a mile in someone’s shoes before you judge them”. This relates to “The Danger of a Single Story” where instead of getting to know someone, we prejudge them off what others say or what we see. Without getting to know who an individual really is or where they are coming from, we misconstrue and prejudge unjustly. Within TED Talk featuring Chimamanda Adichie’s speech “The Danger of A Single…

Service learning is taking time in the surrounding community, and making a positive difference through the words or actions that occur. Doing this allows for us to be out and connecting what we are learning to do in the classroom and applying it to the real world. In my service learning time I spent I was able to make a positive difference in the lives a few children even if it was just for a day. I spent a Saturday afternoon working with a Milton Hershey employee in what they call a “home…

14). It is a very strange way to explain an imaginary fish that you just made up to a young child, it’s a rather sad and grim concept. Unless you look at the whole thing as a way for Seymour to express his complex thoughts about society to a child. Recall earlier when instead of simply telling Sybil that she shouldn't poke the dog in the lobby Seymour comes up with a very innovative and original way to reprimand her without even saying a word about her. Looking at it this way sheds a whole new…

Categorization in this movie. Most of us would say if I lived in that era I wouldn’t stand by and do nothing while these people are treated the way they were I would do something. But in all honesty how many us actually would?
