Where Would You Be

designed for the people to move around and enjoy their surroundings, it is considered a walkable city. I live in Paramount, California where only some parts of this city could be considered walkable. From where I live, there are no public services i can reach by walking and feeling comfortable. However, there are some places where public services are close enough for you to walk to comfortably and easily. The reasons why it may not be walkable is the size of the sidewalks; the sidewalks tend to…

Dael Orlandersmith's "Forever" provided a riveting experience where Ms. Orlandersmith herself weaves an intricate tale of her life story through a minimalist effort using just herself to lay out the scene. She began the deep connection with the audience at the beginning by coming onstage and speaking directly to the audience about typical theatre etiquette such as cell phones and then plunging into her story without a beat of hesitation, thus pulling in and engaging the audience immediately. Ms.…

Have you ever loved someone your parents did not approve of? In the story Romeo and Juliet this is exactly what happened. The two are in a very sticky situation, because their two families are enemies, but Romeo and Juliet love each other. In the end the love for one another is so strong that it ends up killing both of them. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, we learn that telling lies or hiding the truth is acceptable for the right reasons like hiding the fact you love your enemy,…

getting married to getting a good job that makes you successful. Mostly everyone has an idea of what they want. The American Dream is in everyone’s head we are taught to grow up and achieve our goals so that we can be successful in life. But no dream is ever easy to achieve, but not impossible. America has provided the American Dream to the “tired, the poor and the huddled masses” due to everyone having the opportunity to work and try hard and when you work hard enough the outcome is usually…

more shoes where added to the old crippled willow tree. Any shoe you could think of was up there, even the really expensive ones like Jordans. The shoe tree was one of the most memorable thing from the long drives up to Boyne City Michigan. Driving into the touristy town was always my favorite part, smelling the fudge, hearing the waves crash against the docks and seeing all the seagulls flying around. As you kept heading down the main road following it to all its curves and loops you would run…

Slave Trade Slave Trade is a Big issue today. It is vast, but hidden. As a person what would you think if you where in the position of a slave. Working countless hours with no pay. Being treated as if you where property. Is it fair for a human to be treated as property. God created us equal why should one person be better than another in the sense of a human and not the knowledge he has. Slaves tend to be treated in the worst of ways possible, and to top that off they suffer from hunger and…

I beleive that Antonia would most definitely agree with this definition. "To be dissolved into something complete and great" is a great translation. It means what it feels like to be enjoying something that you truly love doing. If you truly love it, than you basically dissolve yourself into it and lose yourself. For myself when it comes to sketching I dissolve myself into it. When I sit down at the table with a sketch pad and pencils I tend to loose track of time. A 30 minutes drawing session…

Imagine you are all alone outside in the middle of night during winter, in the cold with no shelter, no warmth. You are curled up in a tight little ball trying to preserve the small amount of body heat you have. You ran out of water hours ago but what good would it do for you now? When you feel like you are freezing to death. You feel as if you are in the artic as everything slowly goes numb with only a blanket of white surrounding you and the cold. As your breath slows down you feel the collar…

I sat in the bland coloured room that I saw resembled my own far too much when you focused hard enough. Blue, how ironic that the most depressing shade in the rainbow was not only a hospital walls colour, but my favourite colour too. On the desk was a white packet boldly labeled "Depression Handbook". It talked about the normal things;…

instances where this belief could be clearly shown. The first instance where Satyagraha as a nonviolent reaction is clearly seen is after Romero’s friend Father Rutilio Grande is killed by guerilla forces. Romero asks the father of the young boy who was also killed if they could display his body along with that of Father Grande, as well as telling the people that instead of there being…
