The Jimmy

My visit to Virginia Beach for thanksgiving with my Filipino friend Jimmy and his family, was an intercultural experience that showed me why it’s important to understand and appreciate different cultures. It is widely understood that different cultures have their own way of communicating, living, as well as embracing certain values, beliefs, and practices. Having the opportunity to experience culture other than my own was amazing and gratifying. My trip to Virginia Beach all started with a phone…

Women act as an escape for the men from the sad reality into an idealistic fantasy. The placement of Martha’s persona by O’Brien is also used to make this prominent. Her character acts as a gateway to a desirable reality. Jimmy Cross is seen constantly reminiscing about Martha and pondering over her on a day-to-day basis. One day, during a mission to destroy tunnel complexes, he “suddenly...was thinking about Martha” (11). Distracting himself from the true purpose of the task, he starts thinking…

However, Steve ends up admitting he isn’t mentally disabled during the medal ceremony and instead gives his medal to Thomas who had come in 4th. The bet was still won because technically Jimmy didn’t win. Finally for the end of the movie, it shows that Steve quit his job to work at a theater with his new friends from the Special Olympics six months later. Stavi also worked there after getting his fingers reattached. Lynn (Steve’s love interest)…

On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Cardi B was the special guest being interviewed. Her appearance and demeanor received over 16million views on YouTube. She elaborated on her success, the engagement with Offset, and more. The YouTube video was all of 5minutes and 20 seconds. Cardi B had an overconfident way of presenting herself. During the interview Cardi B chose to answer most of the questions in a mindless manner. Jimmy Fallon did great keeping his composure, the things she said…

society the most inspirational, those who challenge our understanding of what is supposedly considered “normal”. I view Jimmy page as a role model, as a result of not only his musical giftedness, but also his breaking of the social conformity prison, but also his ability to regain normality within his life after a multitude of setbacks (including his crippling heroin addiction). Jimmy Page, born James Patrick Page January 9th 1944, is notably the “greatest guitarist”…

thought about my problems. In Jimmy Santiago Baca: Poetry as a Life Saver, Rob Baker compares Jimmy’s life to that of a snake shedding its skin. It all began when Jimmy was still in his mother’s womb. Right before she gave birth, she was bitten by a rattlesnake. The venom that had coursed through his veins acted as the symbol of the frequent changes that would follow him throughout his life, just like a snake shedding its skin. In the essay, Rob Baker states that Jimmy did not like books nor did…

than a lie”. Jimmy Johns responded to his post twenty minutes later saying that they screwed up and they owe him one. They gave a customer complaint email for him to send his comments too. The customer said he had already sent a complaint to the website and asked if that would get to the same place. Jimmy Johns responded with “Yes, that’ll go to the same place. I care about my customers and appreciate the feedback.”(Mcrea) Although there was no name left from someone at Jimmy Johns, it…

know what to do! The man vs. man conflict is between Vince and his father. Jimmy and Ed owe his father a lot of money. Vince, who says killing the two would not be right, decides to fight for them, starting the father versus son war. Vince blames his dad for all of life's miseries. He says that stealing isn't right. On the other hand, Anthony Luca says that if it weren't for the mob, Vince would have nothing. Soon, the Jimmy and Ed situation gets worse, and Dad gets angrier. Quickly, everyone…

Although people think soldiers are characterized as tough killing machines, they are still humans with emotions, memories and lives beyond the military. According to soldiers, it is not easy being a soldier and living the life as a soldier. Life as a soldier has many struggles that people do not see and often go unaccounted for. This common dilemma comes to light in the short story “The Things They Carried” by Tim O’Brien. The burden of war on soldiers is more than physical strain. Tim O’Brien…

Margaret Atwood, Jimmy says, “You could tell a lot about a person from their fridge magnets, not that he’d thought much about them at the time” as he comment on the fridge magnets that Crake ironically chose and enjoyed. We are presented with a world which has been devastated by a killer virus, and language, in all of its senses has been spliced just like the Crackers. Jimmy desperately and perhaps vainly tries to cling on to words that are now redundant. Snowman is a classic example. Jimmy says…
