Somewhere

I chose to write my essay on Mexican Independence Day. Mexican Independence Day is on September 16th. They celebrate by having parades, festivals, parties, dancing, fireworks, feasts and much more. They hang Mexican flags everywhere this day. They blow whistles and horns and throw confetti is thrown everywhere. Everything is decorated in green, red, and white. The background behind Mexican Independence Day is that the Mexicans wanted to break away from Spain. But Spain didn’t want that. When…

A person with heavy faith finds comfort in the trust of a “higher being”. They find it satisfying to know that there is somewhere to go after living in this world; somewhere much more beautiful. Every religion in today’s society has a vision of their own higher being with similar and differentiating concepts. So why does one feel it’s better than the other? Competition to break each other down. Christianity and Catholicism are two separate religions that are coincidentally similar but their…

that introduced a new dynamic for gay and straight friends on television. When all of these aspects are brought together, a show is able to redefine what it is like to be gay on TV. The binary is shifting, and it is now accepted to be somewhere in the middle; somewhere between masculine and feminine, between gay and straight. With these fresh new ideas serving as a basis for what our culture could soon use to portray homosexuality, one may believe that there will be even greater representation…

for one’s suffering and so does another image in the form of a sailing ship. Like any vessels, it is likely that someone from the “...expensive delicate ship... must have seen something… [in this case Icarus]... falling out of the sky [yet] had somewhere to get to and [continued] to sail[]… on” (line 18-20). Just like the passing ship, the herdsmen are seen to be engrossed in each life seemingly without regard for Icarus’…

had a son. He was on his way to Orlando. They stopped at the restaurant and grabbed a burger to eat. The lady at the restaurant wanted to hear Josh play the piano. She thought that he was really good, and she said that there might be a job for him somewhere down in Baton Rouge. She asked Lonnie if he could possibly make a stop to get this kid a job. After a few more hours of driving they were looking for a carnival that Josh could get a piano job at. About one hundred miles away, they found the…

reached land within the Caribbean, north of the eastern part of Cuba. He placed ownership on it, and named it San Salvador, in honor of Jesus Christ. Islanders were called “Indians” by Christopher, because he assumed they occupied the East Indies somewhere beside Japan or China. However, the islanders called themselves Tainos, (in their language this meant “good” or “noble.”) Tainos grew cassava, corn, cotton, tobacco, and other crops. Noticing the difference in clothing, and religious matters,…

102-103) There are many ways for someone to be from two cultures. Your environment and the people you surround yourself with can influence and shape you, and you may learn new things and adopt a different culture over time. After seeing the movie Somewhere Between and reading over the essay “Dyaspora”, we discussed the issues of heritage and culture in class, and it further broadened my knowledge on the idea of being multicultural. In a society that is ever-changing, interracial marriage, global…

Dion and Dionysius regularly went on, and Dion, whose one extraordinary flaw, as Plato lets him know, was need of "flexibility" and savoir-faire, decided to recuperate his rights with the solid hand. Enrollment went ahead in the Peloponnese and somewhere else, with the dynamic simultaneousness of huge numbers of the more youthful parts of the Academy, and in the mid year of 357 Dion made a sudden and fruitful dash over the water, caught Syracuse, and broadcasted its "opportunity." Plato thought…

Pythagoras Pythagoras of Samos is often referred to as the first mathematician. Although he studied multiple principles of math and made other discoveries of such he is most well known for proving that the trigonometry basis, Pythagorean Theorem, exists. In fact the Pythagorean Theorem is named after him! Other contributions he made or discovered are; the sum of the angle is a triangles equal to two right angles, construction figures of a given area with geometrical algebra, discovery of…

Fable" is that you should take risk sometimes because you’ll never know what you’ll be missing if you don't. The similarities that both stories have that help to develop the theme would be that they're both stories that have to do with leaving somewhere. For example, in the story "Boy's Life" the narrator is talking about his/her last day of school and how excited he/she is and in " Emancipation: A Life Fable " an animal is going outside of its cage and see's what…
