Things Not Seen

beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow." Some people will say that this isn't true. They would say that you can continue to learn new things while doing the same things over and over; however this isn't true. To become better, improve, or excel at something you have to push your limits and get out of your comfort zone. I have seen this in other people's lives and in my own. One of the reasons that I agree with this quote is something I experienced in my own life. I've…

wasn’t enough. My sophomore year I took a world history class. This class is what really opened my eyes to everything that I hadn’t seen. The teacher was kind of $famous to the students. She had traveled to the places she was teaching us about. She wasn’t just giving us the information out of a textbook, she was telling us real things that she experienced. The thing about this class was, every year, she picked a group of students to go on a trip to a different country. My year there were two…

A lot of men think there is a ‘magical’ solution to fulfill the needs and wants of the women in their life and that is exactly what Old Spice claims to be. In the commercial the viewers see fictional and fairytale like things happening such as tickets to a show turning into diamonds. After the shower scene where the man in the commercial had used Old Spice the viewers saw him wearing white pants on a boat. The white pants is an emphasis on transition to a higher role in life. The commercial…

In “The Thing in the Forest” by A.S. Byatt, Penny is a little girl who is sent away from her hometown during the war. During her childhood, Penny was always alone. Her father “died in a sheet of flame” and after that, her already neglectful mother “embraced grief, closed her face and her curtains” (Byatt 308). Penny needed a friend, but mostly she needed someone that understood what she was going through and someone that would be a more positive outlook on it all. When Penny was taken from her…

In the article, Appetite, Laurie Lee explained how humans take things for granted sometimes and she suggested that they need to get away from those things sometimes. She listed examples of things different than food such as people that we surround ourselves with and how we needed to get away from them too sometimes because that could lead to them getting too attached or they could get tired of each other. In the article she says, “So I think we should arrange to give up our pleasures…

theme, and all the things of that nature. Every person may have a different idea of what makes a particular story “interesting” to them, and keeps them wanting to go back and read the story more and more. For a person like me, I would have to say that the theme of the story can really keep interest. A theme that can truly resonate beyond the story into real life, and truly provide a person to think and even learn a lesson as well as themes that really stir the pot and can be seen as very…

Antecedently, the first thing that Ethan notice before they were trying to escape, he catches a glimpse of a room with a computer monitor displaying a working connection. As you could, the characters have good perception when looking for technology with the internet when they are…

good way to let things out, without having to approach someone about the subject at hand. As the writing started, the teacher dimmed the lights, the only thing that helped us see was a small lamp near the wall, and the bright screen projected on the board. I wrote about something that was very hard to write about, something that I have never talked to anyone about before. It was almost relieving, to talk about things that I haven’t confided someone in. I wrote half a page worth of things that I…

Emptiness can be properly seen through the understanding of Nāgārjuna’s the Perfection of Wisdom, for it proclaims that all things are truly empty. Nāgārjuna wrote the Mūlamadhyama-kakārikā, which gives the foundation to the Indian Buddhist sector of Madhyamaka in philosophical terms. His analysis in philosophy conveys his main views that all things are empty (śūnya) or devoid intrinsic nature (svabhāva). Nāgārjuna’s point in his writings is to prove that there is more to the primary Buddhist…

Raising a child is not easy, can 't say it by experience because I am not a mother, but I have seen it and not a lot of parents tend to succeed. It is more than just feeding a baby and changing diapers. It determines the way a child will be as an adult meaning their skills, knowledge, and attitude and so on. Personal development is a way for an individual to set goals and improve his or her life. It typically requires a person to evaluate his or her past, which helps to determine where he or she…
