The Little Things

proclaim that we should just be ourselves, but it’s very easy to say things that we normally wouldn’t say if it was a face to face conversation. It’s very easy to portray someone that we are not, especially if we have tools that can help us shape ourselves into the perfect person. Social media is like a mirror, they reflect the user, but the images are not always real. Like we had said, social media can be a good thing, but also a bad thing because we feel as it has taken away so much from our…

the story of a school, and in this school is Little Billy. First things first, Little Billy is a boy with short lightish brown hair, a slightly flat and round nose, and dark brown eyes. Now Little Billy started off his day as normal by going to his homeroom class and doing the normal homeroom things such as doing his homework then messing around on his phone. After homeroom ended, at 8:40am, he went to his second period class. Unfortunately for Little Billy, his second period is the most boring…

When I was little, I was not like the other girls. I had decided to trade my barbies for beetles. My favorite pastime consisted of marching to the empty field next to my house, armed with a butterfly net and a bug cage, to catch grasshoppers. I would use them as bait when I went fishing with my dad, as food for my praying mantis, or as points in a contest with my friends. This fascination has stuck with me as I have grown up. From the roly polies and lady bugs I caught in my backyard to the…

A Crazy Little Grotesque Thing Called Love Love in itself is a rather complicated subject and means different things to different people. Carson McCullers, the Georgia born author of numerous fiction and non-fiction works, uses grotesque figures to capture her vision of love, which is spiritual isolation. McCullers declares, “love, and especially love for a person who is incapable of returning or receiving it, is at the heart of my selections of grotesque figures to write about – people whose…

Intro: Little Things: When Prejudice is Unintentional is a 2001 ABC News Program segment. It is about black and white people making assumptions about each other. Neither race is aware that they are doing these small gestures that maybe misinterpreted as being racist. Purpose: The purpose of this film is to make people aware that both black and white people are more often unaware that they are being prejudice against the opposite race. Both races do things that are just not understood by the…

The title “A Little Learning is a Dang’rous Thing” is what captured my interest. After reading the poem was glad that I had. This poem reflects beautifully what is taught in nursing; that you can never learn enough and can never assume that you know everything. What most intrigued me about this poem was how true it rang, even after 300 years. The first four lines say it all then analogies of the ninth line pound it home. When you first start learning you typically think you know it all however,…

racing across open land and stopping for nothing. It was a freedom that few would truly understand and Thor truly pitied those who didn’t. It was nice though to spend some time with his Hveðrungrs when there wasn’t a battle to be fought. He’d left the little ones with Darcy for this outing however. Poor Pyrmja had needed the break and it was always good to spend time with just one of his Hveðrungr at once instead of trying and failing to give them equal attention when they were all together.…

As we walked through the middle of campus on a humid Sunday, September sixth, we see multiple people from Purdue everywhere, walking through campus with us. They were taking pictures at our Marshall sign and also at the memorial fountain. We overhear some people quietly talking about how they were also going to go to the memorial of the crash to pay their respects and we thought that was unbelievably nice of them to do. It made us feel like we were all a family, and made me feel proud to go to a…

Humor Essay Many works of literature today have persuasive strategies incorporated in them to grab the reader’s attention. Most of the time, writers also use strategies such as humor to send a crucial message to the audience. While this is one effective way of sending a message, other writers utilize formal writing to express the seriousness of a problem. Both methods are effective in getting a message across; however, writing without humor is stronger than those with humor because it is…

those challenges there is a lesson to learn. The main challenge that I had to go through had affected me both physically and mentally. Domestic violence is not an easy thing to go through, yet again the worse part is to go back and talk about it. My family consists of six people: my father, mother, older sister, little sister and little brother. Many people may think that my family is very united with almost no problems. When people see my family it may seem like everything is okay and that…
