The Sweetest Girl

As the story develops, the numerous mini-adventures make the life of each of the four contestants a little sweeter. Phillip learns to let go of his guard and be a kid for once, and Daisy discovers that maybe she would like to be a normal girl now, after spending so much time with Phillip, Logan and Miles. Logan is already set to become the next Candymaker, but doubts himself all the way, thinking about all that he has learning is sufficient, “but now, only six years away from stepping into his role as official assistant candy maker, he feared otherwise.” Miles learns to swallow his regret and start to live a little because of a past incident involving a ‘drowned’ girl. So Life is Sweet could literally be, life is sweet, not just a…

Introductions Here I am, my first essay paper since 2006, and I get to write on a topic I know all about: myself. There is heaps to know about me. There are places I want to go, things I want to do, and people I love. I have many obsessions, and there are plenty of things I don’t enjoy doing. Well, let’s get started, shall we? Before all else, I am a mom. I have been a mom for almost seven years. I have an almost seven year old named Cameron, and he is in the first grade. He loves skulls…

Childhood development is such an intriguing topic, no two children are the same, so no two children will grow or develop the same making every case different. It amazes me at the similarities and differences in each child, similarities in both boys and girls. In my group setting I saw about 65-75 kids mixed of boys and girls. Within the first fifteen minutes of each class I was able to pick out what students were at the top of the classes, what students were at the bottom of classes, and who was…

My Dad’s Story: Dream for My Child There is nothing in the world that parents won’t do for their children, even if it means disguising their worst struggles. This sorrowful ad from Hong Kong MetLife is a praise to the sacrifices “parents make for their children on a daily basis. Titled “‘My dad’s story’: Dream for My Child,” the commercial shows a father reading an essay his young daughter wrote about him.” In the ad “My Dad Is A Liar,” Metlife creates a tremendous amount of pathos in order to…

Throughout the story, there are numerous scenes in which female characters are degraded; whether it is a girl being raped or getting killed. Even the surroundings in the stories, like the sculptures, are extremely sexist in a way that disturbs the audiences to some extent. I will argue that Burgees and Kubrick’s main focus is to demonstrate the mass how ugly prejudice against females is. The sexism is demonstrated to an extreme in this story that it provokes the audiences to rethink the sexual…

persona. Connie had a tendency to be very flirtatious with the opposite gender. The story shows this in the passage that states “A boy named Eddie came to talk to them……after a while he asks Connie if she would like something to eat. She said she did and so she tapped her friend’s arm on her way out” (Oates Page 900). For example, Connie had a three-hour rendezvous with a boy named Eddie that she met at the drive-in restaurant. The time that Connie and Eddie spent together may have been full of…

speech, however she called me as her baby in front of everybody at the end of the speech. Instantly, everyone inside the room started laughing, and it was a real disaster for me in my special day. Also, my mother has an old-fashioned attitude. After I grew up, my mother still treated me like a child, and she began to intrude on my private life.
