What You're Doing

This poem called “Your Name is X” by Juan Felipe is not an easy poem to understand all together but sentence by sentence I have some clue what he is trying to say. The first sentence would have many meanings such as the hands are trembling because his hands are so tired of physical labor he can 't control the trembling, or maybe it 's because of old age were his hands tremble just because of the age that he has. Reading the other sentences his hands might be trembling due to the fact that he is…

I agree that it is important to strive to be a wide achiever, and also that promptness, giving all of your effort and looking for what needs to be done and doing it are necessary…

and past because without the existence of time, the causes of his suffering are less tangible. As humans, we naturally associate significant events with dates because doing so makes them concrete. The moment you acknowledge that something happened on a specific day, you concede that it happened in the first place, which is exactly what Pi wants to avoid. He makes his losses insubstantial by not acknowledging…

The songs of today’s age have a big impact on us kids, we would listen to what the song says. One of Meghan Trainor’s song lyrics is “ if I was you I wanna be me too.” These lyrics are literally say be like me and today’s society would probably try to be like her. Most people do the things they do because a celebrity is doing it and it seems cool. The majority of the people in this world has at least one person that they wish they could be like. You…

made the decision to color the ghost green instead of the “normal color”, white. This act created an uproar in the first grade classroom. The children demanded that she was doing it wrong and were, “hanging close to see what would happen” (Harjo, 49). She fired back at the other students and questions if they knew what a ghost looked like. She says that she was scared to tell the children, “I had seen how a green ball of energy could give people pneumonia.” The children then went to tell…

shouldn’t think that, but sometimes I can’t control it. I have never stopped thinking like that, but I have quit beating myself up over it. This went on until Sophomore year of High School. Now, It took a lot for me to actually get myself to quit doing it. It took a lot of support from the friends I have that were going through the same thing, but I DID stop. I no longer have the cuts on my body, but I still have the scars reminding me of it every single…

sinner. He will judge and condemn people based on nothing else than vanity. By doing this, the terrorist will be celebrated by its peers who have the same believe as him. The terrorist is the best illustration of a counterfeit believer; he only uses religion to get its…

However, there’s a fine line between being nice and empathetic and what Charley was. ‘Its great that you can listen and be a shoulder to someone... You cant put everyone’s lives in front of your own and call it love, you have to do things” (chbosky 200) Charley. Sam told charley these worlds when she had invited him over. She had feelings for Charley the entire time and was upset she was getting nowhere. Incidentally her insight was what I was referring to in regards of how charley was…

it was. My views on some things changed since I was actively there, but I would not want to lose that time for anything. Drum corps is an activity that I feel very strongly about, as well as the group of people that form the community, joining and doing it has been one of the best Ideas I have ever had, and it has aided me in my pursuit of happiness. Eruption drum and bugle corps was a wonderful experience that I wouldn’t trade for the world. Drum corps is a marching band that has been taken to…

have often found when out with a group of friends or even with another person alone, myself and the other person are compulsed to check their phones to see what people are doing. I feel shame to take part in this behavior instead of trying to introduce a new subject or share some interesting tidbit. It feels sad to see what other people are doing and also internally compare yourself to someone when around others. To be in this day and age is a blessing and a curse, you have access to all the…
