Doing the visual literary analysis assignment was worth doing. It was worth doing it because I learned that conveying a message to the audience is tricky. The way me and my partner decided to do it on Feminism is by first reading our essays that we had to write about the book. We both wrote about how women don’t have any right in Gilead, we wrote about how women suffer knowing they are only value if they can be pregnant. We both realize that we had a lot of points in our essay on Feminism. Then…

Many of them don’t want to feel the soreness and sweat dripping down your back. Others just felt like they sucked at basketball and weren’t good enough. As the results come in I am faced with a challenge. I find…

People are like onions. They have an outer shell and if you keep pealing them back you get deeper to their core which is their most personal selves. That is how I got to know my friend, my neighbor, Mary Kathryn. We went through the Social Penetration Method (Adler p.222) throughout our friendship. We started out as just neighbors and went through stages of getting to know each other, but eventually it all came to an end. I should have used mediated communication (p. 8) to keep in touch. It all…

When I got to school Kamry and Autumn was already there, they were really nervous also. We sat and talked about how we are really scared to try out that day and how we knew the dances and stuff. Then Allie got to school. We all talked about how nervous we were and how we were telling each other that they were going to…

Which is exactly how I truly learned. Biology 1 and Biology 2 was not my favorite subject nor my best subject in…

Anish Singhal 17364 1. I often closed myself to God, doubting his ability when experiencing pain and suffering. Whenever I would be going through a dark moment in my life, I would often blame God for not loving me.

I was planning on saving this message for the end of the session, but I think this is the best time to send it. I am contacting you to tell you how I am feeling about this season, especially recently. I do not want to talk to you one on one because last time I tried nothing changed. Last time I talked to you you kind of talked around the subject, pushing the blame on other less related topics, and after trying my best to improve on the one area you told me to I feel like everything is just…
