Year Five

Title Television is a universal idea, for decades it has brought family, friends, and all sorts of relationships to come together. However, television can vary from country to country. What may be popular in one part of the world, might not even be aired on another. America and Britain are usually paired with one another when discussing ideas about the world, because they contain so many similarities. Throughout the course of my time here, I have discovered, although that is not the case when it…

I have distinct goals of where I desire to be in five years. I comprehend exactly what I want to be achieving in my graphic design career, my fine art career and my general lifestyle five years from now. I always keep these goals in my mind and work on getting one step closer to them every day. To begin with, I desire for my graphic design career to be thriving in five years’ time. By then I should have my Bachelor’s degree from a renowned university. I have not yet concretely decided which…

is he doing here?! Five years. Five years since we last spoke. Five years since he last said my name. Five years since he broke off a relationship that was undeniably love. At least, that is what I told myself before he shattered my heart and left me to decompose on the ground beneath him. Five years, and I spent every second of it trying to piece myself together, trying to revitalize the poisoned ruins he so kindly rampaged through. I only recovered from these injuries a year ago, when I truly…

industry. How could we live? What would society be like? The Soviet Union, before Stalin’s Five Year Plan, lacked industrialization. They were slowly entering industrial age, but not fast enough for Stalin. The Five Year Plan was a set of economic plans that would hopefully aid in the development of the emerging USSR. Kataev’s Time Forward showcases the lives of those working for the Stalin. Joseph Stalin’s Five Year Plans would make citizens believe they needed rapid industrialization but in…

extracurricular activities. In 18 years I have lived in three different houses, attended four different schools, and have become interested in theatre arts; I have been through many, many pets and witnessed the funerals of many family members; I have attended Governors School, one of the most prestigious things for a high school student to do; and have loved every minute. It is truly crazy for a person like me to think of where they will be and what they will be doing in 15 years, the…

I have chosen the song, Three Cheers for Five Years, by Mayday Parade, for Hamlet's “To be or Not to be” soliloquy. This song fits quite nicely for this scene considering it is a song which is about a man who is trying to figure out his life. Just like Hamlet is attempting to do with his life right now. The first line of lyrics which fit the scene is, “I thought we could wait for the snow To wash over Georgia and kill the hurt.” Showing that events are not going exactly the way he thought they…

When A Five Year Old Asks Why Have you ever met a kid who asked why to literally every answer given to them? In Plato’s Apology, Socrates attempted to defend the charges against him through cross examination and as he proposed his defense he concluded that an unexamined life is not worth living. While Socrates faced a death sentence, he continued to do so without fear of death, unlike Ivan Ilych in The Death of Ivan Ilych written by Leo Tolstoy. Although Ivan lived a life in which he held a…

Arnisha Jones University of Michigan-Flint While reading the book “Fire in the Ashes: The twenty-five years among the poorest children in America”, I gained understanding of why the book was chosen to be read within my sociology class. The author, Johnathan Kozol, gave a very good detail and needed story about the issue of poverty and children and families living in it. In today’s generation everyone has a chance to be blessed in a variety of ways, but yet poverty is still a huge issue. I think…

My schooling began when I was about 3-years-old in my country – Jamaica. It was called “basic school” that is the equivalent of kindergarten. There I learned letter sounds in the alphabet, writing the letters and simple mathematics. The building was one large room, with seating that resembled parks tables with the benches attached. The seating capacity for one bench was four. If, the classroom was over crowned six students was put together. My home was close to the school, so I walked to…
