The Strangest Things

Because this is the first informal piece I write in American Literature, I think you should know where I stand on a variety of issues. Telling you about myself feels, by some means, dishonest since the most important thing about me is that I am constantly changing. When I was little, teachers used to tell us to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes before we judge them. Yet, I’ve never understood what we’re supposed to learn from a pair of shoes. If you want to know who I am, I suggest taking…

breaking up. A few of the classic ways to get them to do the breaking up is by acting as repulsive as a person can possibly be and by being just plain gross. A few ways that are possible that are more creative are: by committing crimes, blowing up things, eating all the persons food, getting very close to the person’s parents, calling their parents mom and dad very early into the relationship, telling the person that their siblings are hotter than them especially if they are twins, stealing all…

For the interview process, the two people that I interviewed were Martha Millison and Cecilia Rivas. Martha Millison is a school counselor at Green-Wood Charter School in Philadelphia and Cecilia Rivas is a CUA chief management supervisor. When both Martha and Cecilia came and spoke to our class, I was so intrigued by what they said that I wanted to know more about their work field. I especially found Martha job interesting because she works in a school setting and that’s where I want to work. I…

throughout the play is faced with a former student of her father who insisted on going through her father’s stuff to find anything that may lead to a very significant discovery.

From the accomplishments thereof from Beowulf, it’s easy to brag, boast, and take pride in the great things you’ve done. Pride is a good thing but it can also have many negative effects because along with joys comes the downside. It’s almost as symbolical as the saying what makes you laugh can make you cry. After the fight with Grendel’s mother everyone in the hall praised…

and your relationship with God. We as Christians are called to follow God and put Him first in every aspect of our lives which can be really hard to do sometimes. As life goes on and things get more complicated and crazy, it becomes more difficult to make God the number one priority because we have so many other things going…

filled wall to wall with broken furniture and things that were collected over the years. My mom tried her best to repair the damage, but it was already done and the fighting between her and my dad continued. He was kicked out shortly after I turned 16 and went on to live in various other family member’s house until no one could stand him being around. Everytime he got kicked out he blamed the women in the house. At this point in my life I began to realize things weren’t what I thought they were.…

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…

with it internally. Halloween was coming up, which makes him so excited because it is the one day that he can be just like anybody else. Unfortunately, his mask hid his identity too well because he overheard his new best friend, Jack saying mean things about him. I was disappointed in Jack and devastated for August. This is where the novel switches points of view and we are introduced to his sister, Via’s inner thoughts and experiences. It was eye opening to get a different perspective about…

but that’s not how life works. In some of this your parents have a lot to do with, because they have taught you to always act mature. But the one thing they never taught you is how to be a teenager, make mistakes and just enjoy life as much as you can. So stop trying to be something that it’s just not the time for you to be. Yes, be mature about things but keep in mind that you’re young too. Remind yourself that you only get to experience those moments once in your life. So enjoy every precious…
