I began this revision by making a few small changes. First changing “go on” to “went” so that the past tense I chose to use would remain consistent. This made a bigger difference than I though it would; it makes it seem like there was more of a separation between the speaker and what was going on around her than I though tit would. I then changed “cold” to “small,” which flows much more smoothly into “shy.” “Cold” has a harder, more unforgiving connotation, when I wanted it to come across that…

With globalization there are pros which include but not limited to, communicating better, developing allies for international security, and helping developing countries increase economic power. There are also cons, which may include producing more people that are poor, power (depending on how it is used), spreading/ exposure of disease, sharing of ideas creates violence/ crimes. When it comes to the Ebola crisis this reflects globalization because of the spreading of the disease and exposure to…

With every new experience, a new one is always discovered. Lowell, Massachusetts, a city that is full of history, as well as beautiful nature. Lowell is full of parks, hiking trails, esplanades, and best of all the Lowell Riverwalk. The Riverwalk is located right near the bridge going from North campus to East Campus, I walk past the walkway almost every day and never really thought much about the view all that much. Going on a nature walk was a very interesting. I’ve never really been a nature…

Anna and Raskolnikov are not the only ones who try to help out their siblings. Both Stiva and Dunya go out of their way multiple times to try to help their siblings through difficult situations. When Anna has an affair, just like her brother did, Stiva decides to come to her rescue and try to facilitate a reconciliation between her and her husband, just as Anna did for him. For example, one day, Stiva tries to invite Karenin to dinner, and Karenin tells him, “I cannot come to your house because…

English 103, journal # 5 This top poem means to me that due to the terrorism we have lost our privacy and trustworthiness. The writing in the bottom about the grandmother in a nursing home mean to me that the persons in the nursing homes are lonely because their family cannot visit them because they are very busy surviving. In the “What’s Up with the American Dream” article several writers conclude that the American dream has been undermined by a combination of global economic developments and…

Heroism is the act of bravery to accomplish the task at hand. Many stories are told of great heroic accomplishments or acts of heroism but we never take the time to see why these people make great acts of courage and bravery. Order and chaos are two important topics that are all over the news every single day. Unfortunately it is mailey chaos and not order. But through order and chaos comes heroism; heroism is the act of great bravery and taking great risks to help others. Both topics…

searched for the tallest mountains, the biggest desserts and imagined living there, much like in the Jungle Book. As I got older, my interest in maps and geography grew. Every year, when my grandmother presented me with a new Rand McNally Road Atlas, a world opened before me filled with roads, mountains, rivers, national parks, and forests. This fascination was one of my most defining interests, which began before kindergarten and has continued throughout my life. During my first year at school,…

It was like the weather. Some days were sunny, some cloudy, and every once in a while a great deal of rain. I could try and fathom what would happen next as if I actually were a weatherman. But what would be the point? I knew I had depression. I would just have to wake up each morning and see how it went. I thought maybe I’d outgrow it. Maybe I still can. My family is what drove me to the edge, but somehow they managed to slam their foot on the break before it was too late. I grew up a child…

Often times, maturity is known to be heavily dependent with that of one’s age. However, this common belief is not necessarily true. Maturity is often gained through experiences and understanding, rather than seniority. Although being older does offer more time for enlightening experiences, this does not fully cancel out possibilities of younger individuals being exposed to the same instances in a shorter time. Many adults who lack meaningful experiences grow into debatably pathetic human beings…
