When We Were Very Young

written and directed by, Roberto Benigni, we see a story about a boy and his father dealing with life during World War two (WWII). The story starts off with a young man named Guido who falls in love with a young woman by the name of Dora. The beginning of the movie is a classic love story about a young poor boy meeting a rich girl and they ride off into the sunset together. Even though us, the viewers, know that something worse is in store for the characters, we all feel how normal they are. The…

for the greater good and in school-like settings with young children, teenagers, and etcetera. Despite being taught that what they are doing is trying to protect us, we can see it crumble in world affairs such as the controversy in the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. A Clockwork Orange, a fantastically…

Beginning from a young age we create our identity in relation to what we see around us. If we are shown women being sexualized, as victims or in domestic roles, we are likely to accept it as being normal. The gender inequality being demonstrated in the media has many consequences. For example, when women are being portrayed as weak and passive, it can seem very unusual for them to be independent and powerful in our society. This can be injurious to both women and men’s ideas about what career…

In 2016 Gatorade released a new commercial with iconic athletes which included Usain bolt, Serena Williams, April Ross, and Paul George. In the commercial the athletes were pestered by their younger selves. The child version of these athletes helped motivate the athletes, such as wake them up, help them train, and be there moral support. An example of this is the first scene in the commercial where younger Serena Williams yells at older Serena Williams to get out of bed. Throughout the…

then writing comes along. When speaking casually we speak from 10 to 12 words and less reflective, it is very different from writing. People used to talk like they used to write back then, because writing like you speak was harder back then. This is when texting comes in because it is easier now with our new technology. John says that it is finger speech and now we can write the way we talk. He gives an example of how young people are spelling now like using LOL and SLASH. When they write LOL…

“It’s hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember.” A long time ago when i was a little sixth grader, my aunt died at a young age. It was so hard on everybody in my family because it was so unexpected. We knew she had a hard past but she had gotten better and had been changed for a while. It took a lot for our family to get through it, and it took a long time but we are slowly getting better. It started when she was a little girl. She had a hard time staying healthy because her…

Nonverbal Communication Analysis When you are communicating with others, you are not only using your words to get a message across; you are using hand gestures too. Communicating without words is called nonverbal communication (DeVito p.109). In this assignment I will be focusing on nonverbal and listening signs.

I’m a very optimistic person when it comes to most things but when it comes to our society…I’m pessimistic at best. Not to sound rude or to offend, but I personally believe that our society is corrupted. It’s falling to shambles and there’s no sliver of improvement. Kids are running around with guns and shooting at others—and getting away with it. Cops are killing innocent people and getting away with it even when there is physical evidence that the victim was innocent. Young teenagers and…

understand the overall theme of how war can cause death and wreak havoc in a young person, how can be a struggle for the soldier’s family, and how disappointing it is when a man doesn’t reach his full potential in life because of being forced to go to war. Jarrell uses key words throughout his poem to show us how war can be a terrible thing, especially for the young people being forced to fight in wars. Many young men in previous wars were forced to participate because of the drafts that had…
