Technology is changing the world at an exponential rate. A fun fact about technology is that “There are 6.8 billion people on the planet and 4 billion of them use a mobile phone. Only 3.5 billion of them use a toothbrush”(Zelikman). New devices and apps are invented everyday around the world. These new devices and apps have the ability to change how we see and experience life in this world. Some surmise this is a blessing, others surmise it is a burden, and more others think it is both.…
cease to fascinate me. I find people who have a thorough understanding in two or more subjects highly interesting. They are able to see things with more than one approach, like using two different lenses to see the world, red and blue for example. Through those lenses you can see the world “protruding”. Most people will find it odd how one can be an expert in conflicting topics. Philosophy is infamously known to be often frowned-upon by scientists. Feynman is the living proof that two of the…

I never could have guessed five years ago, when I walked onto the MWBC grounds that my world would change forever. I didn’t know it then, but that cozy little patch of land in the middle of nowhere would become the biggest influence in my life. I had no inkling that the people I would meet would become like a second family to me. If I had it wouldn’t have taken me so long to get there. Growing up I was very wary of summer camp. The idea of sleeping in the woods surrounded by bugs and…
handles adversity with grace. Even when her world is crumbling around her, she never lets her crown fall” (35). These words can easily be incorporated into my daily life. I’ve never really seen myself as a queen because it seemed conceited, but now I see a whole different perspective on it. One of the most important things that Jackson said in his piece was this, “As the fabric of our society changes in certain ways, the fabric of the cinematic world changes in the same ways” (455). We don’t…
Role models can be viewed in many different aspects, its just dependent upon the individual. A role model can be literally anyone or anything. Some people may look at their favorite sports athlete or the president of the United States as an example. Other individuals may even say people like a deranged serial killer like Charles Manson or evil fictional characters like The Joker or The Green Goblin are their models of aspiration. Like these people, I also have two entities that I look up to…

different ways and in some way it relates to everyone's life. The most interesting think Lloyd Alexander did in the book was open the imagination so that not only is it a head scratcher, but it also makes to reader jump out of the box and realize the world that that they live in. The mind of a child wanders deeper than the minds of most adults, in these days. Their minds touch everything from pigs flying in a battle against scarecrows to giant frogs eating people like flies. In this “Book of…
“Good luck out there,” said Tom, or at least I suppose that was his name. He was my guide, leading me to the most terrifying and exhilarating moment of my lifetime…. No one in the world has my name. It is one of a kind, and that is just one aspect that defines my individuality, that is why not many people forget about me. There are multiple unique adjectives that depict me from others, such as education. It is a huge contributor to the many reasons that I am who I am, it is what drives me…
Imagine, step out the front door and people stare. You keep walking all around you gasps. Whispers, people saying your ugly, brute, grotesque. This is Me, a song featured on the soundtrack of the Greatest Showman by Kesha describes the challenges of adaptation. In the movie,a man in New York broke the boundaries of modern circus by adding in deformed talent such as knife toss, rope acrobatics, and juggling. In the movie the character were bullied when they looked different from others. In middle…
