In the other case, some of the bully would act total different in the real life and the Internet. They may say a lot of intimidating thing to hurt the other because no one know who are they in the real world. So they would not care about how the perpetrator feels if they say some intimidating thing. Then, the bully and the helper would have the conflict. Cyberbullying would…

forced to do it. When the opportunity to be free of worry presents itself, this is when choices become more difficult to choose because nothing is sweeter than adventure and thrill. The characters in “Would Our Two New Lives Include a Third” and “We Real Cool” are in similar situations when speaking of the thirst for adventure, but they handle things a lot differently due to the choices they made in the end. “Would Our Two New Lives Include a Third” is a short story describing…

of fiction because it’s reality is based on the what an author might believe to be true or what he or she has experienced. Magical realism is often quite difficult to understand because it asks the reader to take what they know to be true in the real world and accept completely different truth. Magical realism is similar to other genres of fiction but separates itself by its basic assumptions of elements of reality. Ghosts, angels, mermaids, and giants are all fantastical elements of magic that…

paying for my particular degree, all while wondering if I’ll even be able to have some saved up for my career after college. My major is Acting in the Bachelor of Fine Arts and that alone is quite a risky major within the college and out in the real world. It is a dream that guarantees less of a secure, consistent and long lasting career, but I truly love theatre with all my heart and those thoughts are the reason why I’m sharpening my skills at the University of Arizona. As of now, I am…

topic of both the ideal and real aspects of war in the short story, “Editha”. This powerful story shows us the ideal versus the real. Some would like to think that when soldiers are sent to war they will return, and everything that they must do is “Holy”. Editha calls any war that occurs a glorious war (Howells 1492). This allows both the soldiers and their loved ones to be proud of what was done during the war. Howells develops a connection between the real world and the world within his story.…

sleep in, but I decline because I now have debts, including mortgage. If the rent remains unpaid for the month, then I risk the consequence of homelessness and foreclosure of my property. Therefore, I have to juggle a job as well. Joining the real world, required me to become entirely self-sufficient. Before society would actually take me seriously, I needed to exhibit a great deal of responsibility and independence. As a matter of fact, being independent meant exhibiting responsible…

In Politics, by Aristotle, he talks about man, women and slaves. He says how a family and city, which I think he is referring to the government here, are almost the same thing. How does he claim that we are the slaves and the upper authority are the males? We see it as us being stuck to where we are and only having to do what the government tells us. I see this true because of the woman think as their husbands as someone they love and look to for help and/or guidance. We look to the government…

If you were an American over the summer of 2016 you most likely heard of Pokemon GO. I remember being excited for it since September 2015. And when I was on Santa Monica Pier on July 6th when the game came out I couldn't wait to play it. I downloaded it and I learned that night that the game had over 10 million downloads in its first day on the app store. And everyone was hunting for one objective that summer, one goal, to catch them all. I started right then and there and I knew one day I was…

page. When you really analyze this book in depth, it becomes more and more apparent that it is actually a mirror image of our society today. Valerie Frankel, a scholarly writer, agrees by stating, “Panem with its Hunger Games begins to mirror another world ─ ours. This isn’t just a dystopian future; it’s the dystopia of present day America” (49). Although Panem, in many ways, is unrealistic and strange in its unique and barbaric ways, it is actually an exaggerated…
