In Praise Of Local 100
"Alabanza: In Praise of Local 100":
A Personal Dedication to the 43 Members of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees Local 100
Whenever we hear about major tragic events throughout history that do not affect us personally, the media often chooses to focus on a small group
of chosen victims, however, we do not get to hear about those, who were less known to the public. One piece of literature that chooses to focus on such
a group of people is "Alabanza: In Praise of Local 100", which is a poem written by MartГn Espada. In his poem, he chooses to write about the 43
employees, who were the members of the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Local 100 (which was a division of a United States labor union
that represented workers of the...show more content...
First of all, one reason why the purpose of Espada's poem is to express his admiration can be found in how he chose to address the pride that the
members held in their hearts for their home countries. An example of this is Espada's various references to Puerto Rico, such as the Cape San Juan
Light lighthouse in Fajardo, Puerto Rico ("Cape San Juan Light" 1). One reference towards the lighthouse can be found in the fifth stanza of the poem.
Throughout most of the stanza, Espada describes the sound and impact of the plane making contact with the North Tower of the World Trade Center, in
which the Windows of the World restaurant was located, however, he also described how kitchen stoves were glowed, despite the electricity going out
in the kitchen (Espada 45–53). When expressing this, he chooses to use a metaphor to compare the warmth of the stoves to how the lighthouse
illuminated the night sea, during the Battle of Fajardo in 1898 ("Battle of Fajardo" 1). He writes "after the night burst the dam of day and flooded the
kitchen, for a time the stoves glow in darkness like the lighthouse of Fajardo" (Espada 50–53). Through his choice to connect the warmth of the stoves
in the pitch black kitchen, due to the

How to Live to Be 100
Life expectancy is the average length of time persons, defined by age, sex, ethnic group, and socioeconomic status in a given society, are expected to
live. The older population is the most rapidly increasing segment of the U.S. population. Since 1900 the number of older adults has increased over ten
times and their percentage of the population has more than tripled. This increase is projected to continue at a rate of 1.3 percent annually until 2010.
(Torrez, p.132) The number of ethnic minority elderly persons will grow much more rapidly than the number of White elderly people over the next 50
years. The percentage of older adults in the United States that is made up of Blacks and other non–White minorities will increase from 10.2 in...show

The predominant groups are: Mexican American В– 49%, Central and South Americans В– 24%, Cubans В– 15%, Puerto Ricans В– 12%. Their life
expectancy is 65 years. Their primary health problems in old age include adult–onset diabetes, obesity, and arthritis. Diabetes mortality is higher for
Latinos than African Americans, and Latino elders experience more diabetes–related complications, such as blindness and kidney disease, than do
whites.
Latino elders were the least likely among all groups of older adults to utilize formal health care services. Latinos who speak primarily Spanish face
communication difficulties, which can negatively influence their perceptions of health care providers. Language and trust barriers combined with a
greater resilience on home remedies, folk medicine, and religious healing result in patterns of delayed diagnosis, which can negatively affect their
health status.
Asian Americans are the fastest growing ethnic minority group over age 65, due mostly to immigration rates. As with other groups, the oldest–old are
the most rapidly growing segment.
Asian Americans have a life expectancy that is longer than their counterparts in the United States. The risk of most diseases is lower among Asian
American elders than among other older Americans.
Asian Americans have been found to have much lower risks of heart and

The 100 Essay
At the close of its second season, the CW's The 100 is making waves – the brutal postapocalyptic world liberally peppered with the deaths of young
teens didn't turn too many heads after season one, but the revelation of the canon bisexuality of its protagonist, Clarke Griffin, sure has.
Clarke spent approximately the last season and a half embroiled in one way or another with Finn, a (male) troublemaker with a heart of gold, sort of.
After they have sex one time, Clarke refuses to get into a real relationship with Finn or return his declarations of affection, although he's clearly still
important to her. Following Finn's death in Season Two, Clarke isn't concerned with getting back on the horse as far as dating goes; she's pretty busy
trying...show more content...
Initial takeaways from critics was that The 100 was "disappointingly familiar" (Starr). Clarke and Lexa's kiss, the first indication that their relationship
isn't platonic, doesn't come until very late in the second season. When it does come, it's a very brief moment – Clarke does kiss back, but she also stops
kissing about three seconds later, and tells Lexa "I can't." The implication is that Clarke means "I can't right now because my last love interest died
about five minutes ago and also I'm responsible for keeping hundreds of people alive even though I'm only 17," not "I can't because we're both
girls." (Rachel) Still though, viewers were hoping for a little more than the few seconds of blissful bi reciprocal feelings seen. Much has been said
about this show, and so much of it enthusiastic, that most people would be prepared for a full–on relationship. What viewers actually got ultimately
amounts to a demonstration that our protagonist is bi, but the scene doesn't last long enough to do much more. What's more, Lexa and Clarke don't
exactly end the season on an amicable note. While viewers are cautiously optimistic about Clarke and Lexa's reconciliation, the fact remains that if
viewers had blinked several times, they could possibly have missed this

The movie Wall–E by Walt Disney has greatly depicted this problem that is happening in our modern world. Though the society in the Axiom is not
the same as our society nowadays, we are heading there. Our social interaction are now becoming more reliant on technologies. People talking on the
screen day and night, without knowing that they are becoming detached from the real world. We start to lose our own feelings for each other, we start
to forget our own value in life. Thus, the real–life interactions are on its way to become a strange thing because we do not want to see each other. We
created technologies so we can get closer to each other. Indeed, we created our own tragic flaw – we respect these devices more than we respect each
other, and we are virtually becoming machines. The two characters in the movie, John and Mary, could have been the only ones that really
communicated without the screen in front of them. They felt to be real human beings again. When they have opened their eyes, getting away from
those technologies, they are happier than ever and nothing could distract them from living as real–human again. Without a doubt, technologies can be
such an interruption that are destroying the communication among humans nowadays. Distraction is one of the most detrimental effects of

The article I have chosen is titled "Race, Ethnicity, and Law Enforcement. This article explores the relationship between race, criminality and law
enforcement and highlights some of the issues surrounding the intersection of race and criminal behavior. After reading this article I found a few
things interesting, such as when the author writes about class subordination, which was identified by W.J. Wilson (1978). He explains how in the
second half of the twentieth century, civil rights leaders made great strides to achieve equal rights for people of all racial groups. While this goal may

Kass Morgan The 100 Personal Response
The 100 by Kass Morgan is a action packed science fiction book, taken place hundreds of years in the future after a nuclear war on earth, killed
most of humanity. I chose to read this book because I like books that has twists and you are left with a constant question of "what will happen
next". No one has felt the ground beneath their feet in centuries. That is until today, the council sent down 100 juvenile delinquents to test if Earth
was sustainable. No one knows why it was so urgent but, these boys and girls who are all under the age of eighteen and are beginning to experience

What is Stress? Essay
Stress is something that affects many people each and every day. Life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands. For some people stress
is so common it is a way of life. Stress can be very harmful and or helpful. It could help motivate you to meet a deadline and perform a task under

Stress can affect the mind, body, and behavior. These affects could cause your relationships with others can be affected with your girlfriend, parents, or
anyone else who is significant in your life.
Stress has many different symptoms the most often and most common is having a headache. On your body the effects of stress are muscle tension or
pain, chest pain, and fatigue. The effects of stress on your mood is anxiety, restlessness, and lack of motivation or focus. Finally, the effects of stress
on your behavior is overeating or under eating, drug or alcohol abuse, and social withdraw. Since anyone at any age can be stressed there is no
certain population that is effected the most. I would say that teenagers get stressed easily due to school, spots and or jobs. The thing that stresses
most high school student out is picking and choosing what they are going to do after high school and what college they will be going to if any.
People a little bit older after college could be stressed by trying to find a job or trying to find or support a family. Older people could be stressed if they
are running out of money but besides that older people are probably the least stressful people in are population.

Minecraft Essay
Minecraft is a game where the player uses their imagination to shape the world around them using the resources they find. In the world everything is
shaped like a block or a cube, this includes the trees, the dirt, the water, the clouds, even the sun, everything. This simple game hasn't even been
released yet but has already sold over one million copies. Minecraft was created by one man, Markus "Notch" Persson, and this is his story. What
makes the story of Minecraft so unique is that it was created by Notch and only Notch. Notch had a job before Minecraft, working on games for a
company. He started to work on Minecraft in his free time but after a giant popularity spike he realized that it could be a hit, so he quit his job and began

The game sells around 10,000 copies per day. It has become a cultural phenomenon and on January 12, 2011 sales passed the one million mark, but
they continued to rise. With popularity increasing, big name comics like "Penny Arcade" and "Hejibits" discovered the game too and published
comic strips about minecraft, leading to even further sales. Minecraft makes $250,000 a day and continues to do so. On June 13, 2011, Minecraft
passed 2.5 million sales. Today Mojang has 10 employees. Markus Persson, Jens Bergensten, Daniel Kaplan, Junkboy, Jakob Porser, Carl Manneh,
Tobias Mollstam, Aron Neiminen, Daniel Frisk, and Daniel Rosenfeld. These few people make up the team that continues to work towards
Minecraft's future. But with so few employees things take time. Even though the game has not been officially released, people who buy the game
get a copy of what it is right now as the updates are being pushed out. With such success Mojang is the target of some heavy criticism from blogs,
critics, and even their own fans. One speculation from fans is that Minecraft will be the company's 1 hit wonder. What happens if it truly is a one hit
wonder? Will the company go down under? Will it be the end of Mojang? Will they join a publisher in order to stay afloat and lose their title of
"indie?" Another speculation concerns Mojang's next game that has absolutely nothing to do with Minecraft, not even in the same genre. What if

I felt the biggest knot in my throat as i tried holding in my tears. Once I couldn't hold back my tears anymore, I felt a shadow of people over me. It

going straight in through one side of my ankle and out the other. I thought about what I can do to keep practicing. I got up, limped all the way to the
trainers room and asked them to tape it as tight as they can without it hurting me. Walking back out on to the field, where my team is still practicing,
I sucked it all up and pulled my coach aside. I explained to him how it only hurt at the moment and a little after I walked it off. Inside, I was dying of
pain. He told me to run around for a little and if I felt comfortable I can join the practice again. I felt like it wasn't such a big deal so I got back on
the field and started running around. Right when practice ended, I walked back to the trainers room. I unwrapped my ankle from all that tape to

“A Rose for Emily” Essay

LIT 100
December 7, 2014
"A Rose for Emily": Explain what we learn about Miss Emily's character in the story (not just what she does, but what kind of person she is). Use
specific evidence found in the story to support your conclusions. Be alert to the possibility that the narrator who reveals this evidence to us might have

In the poem "A Rose for Emily", William Faulkner stated that "another sad and tragic manifestation of man's condition [is] in which he dreams and
hopes, in which he is in conflict with himself or with his environment or with others" (Faulkner 79–80). In "A Rose for Emily," a young girl, Emily

In her killing of Homer, she is holding onto the past– she is attempting to hold on to the relationship that she and Homer once had, or she wished that
she had. She keeps his corpse lying in bed next to her, which is implied when it was "noticed that in the second pillow was the indentation of a head"
and a "long strand of iron–gray hair" (78). Emily's inability to let go of the past has been exemplified in the examples of her refusal to pay taxes and
her murdering of Homer. However, the true cause of her inability to let go of the past lies in her conflict with in herself.
Faulkner wrote "A Rose for Emily" with the intent to focus on the tragedy of man's inner conflict, as well as outer. The two examples given are perfect
in demonstrating these two types of conflicts. In the first, Emily is in conflict with her surroundings, in which the town officials are trying to tax her. In
the second, Emily is in conflict with herself. She "knew that you do not murder people. She had been trained that you do not take a lover. You marry,
you don't take a lover" (80). Emily tries to embrace the tradition and background of getting married, having a family, and being in love. However,
these aspirations soon caused her to break down when Homer was going to leave. These conflicts, most importantly the one within herself, strongly
impacted Emily to be unable to let go of the past. Over all, in "A Rose for

journey brought me to the United States, I took advantage of the flexible high school schedule that I previously did not have and enrolled in a
variety of art classes. I was able to produce my own short animation, explore different mediums such as watercolor, acrylic, and clay, learn to
develop in the dark room what I photographed with my film camera, and create works of art such as sculptures and paintings, all of which have been
displayed in my school's galleries. After my virtual tour of The Jewett Arts Center, I wishfully envision myself of walking down the halls and getting
inspiration by the excellent variety of artworks. The art center resonates the promise that I can further explore my artistic abilities at Wellesley College
and perhaps step out of my comfort zone and lead an unprecedented adventure with oil

In Praise Of Local 100

  • 1. In Praise Of Local 100 "Alabanza: In Praise of Local 100": A Personal Dedication to the 43 Members of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees Local 100 Whenever we hear about major tragic events throughout history that do not affect us personally, the media often chooses to focus on a small group of chosen victims, however, we do not get to hear about those, who were less known to the public. One piece of literature that chooses to focus on such a group of people is "Alabanza: In Praise of Local 100", which is a poem written by MartГn Espada. In his poem, he chooses to write about the 43 employees, who were the members of the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Local 100 (which was a division of a United States labor union that represented workers of the...show more content... First of all, one reason why the purpose of Espada's poem is to express his admiration can be found in how he chose to address the pride that the members held in their hearts for their home countries. An example of this is Espada's various references to Puerto Rico, such as the Cape San Juan Light lighthouse in Fajardo, Puerto Rico ("Cape San Juan Light" 1). One reference towards the lighthouse can be found in the fifth stanza of the poem. Throughout most of the stanza, Espada describes the sound and impact of the plane making contact with the North Tower of the World Trade Center, in which the Windows of the World restaurant was located, however, he also described how kitchen stoves were glowed, despite the electricity going out in the kitchen (Espada 45–53). When expressing this, he chooses to use a metaphor to compare the warmth of the stoves to how the lighthouse illuminated the night sea, during the Battle of Fajardo in 1898 ("Battle of Fajardo" 1). He writes "after the night burst the dam of day and flooded the kitchen, for a time the stoves glow in darkness like the lighthouse of Fajardo" (Espada 50–53). Through his choice to connect the warmth of the stoves in the pitch black kitchen, due to the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. How to Live to Be 100 Life expectancy is the average length of time persons, defined by age, sex, ethnic group, and socioeconomic status in a given society, are expected to live. The older population is the most rapidly increasing segment of the U.S. population. Since 1900 the number of older adults has increased over ten times and their percentage of the population has more than tripled. This increase is projected to continue at a rate of 1.3 percent annually until 2010. (Torrez, p.132) The number of ethnic minority elderly persons will grow much more rapidly than the number of White elderly people over the next 50 years. The percentage of older adults in the United States that is made up of Blacks and other non–White minorities will increase from 10.2 in...show more content... The predominant groups are: Mexican American В– 49%, Central and South Americans В– 24%, Cubans В– 15%, Puerto Ricans В– 12%. Their life expectancy is 65 years. Their primary health problems in old age include adult–onset diabetes, obesity, and arthritis. Diabetes mortality is higher for Latinos than African Americans, and Latino elders experience more diabetes–related complications, such as blindness and kidney disease, than do whites. Latino elders were the least likely among all groups of older adults to utilize formal health care services. Latinos who speak primarily Spanish face communication difficulties, which can negatively influence their perceptions of health care providers. Language and trust barriers combined with a greater resilience on home remedies, folk medicine, and religious healing result in patterns of delayed diagnosis, which can negatively affect their health status. Asian Americans are the fastest growing ethnic minority group over age 65, due mostly to immigration rates. As with other groups, the oldest–old are the most rapidly growing segment. Asian Americans have a life expectancy that is longer than their counterparts in the United States. The risk of most diseases is lower among Asian American elders than among other older Americans. Asian Americans have been found to have much lower risks of heart and Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. The 100 Essay At the close of its second season, the CW's The 100 is making waves – the brutal postapocalyptic world liberally peppered with the deaths of young teens didn't turn too many heads after season one, but the revelation of the canon bisexuality of its protagonist, Clarke Griffin, sure has. Clarke spent approximately the last season and a half embroiled in one way or another with Finn, a (male) troublemaker with a heart of gold, sort of. After they have sex one time, Clarke refuses to get into a real relationship with Finn or return his declarations of affection, although he's clearly still important to her. Following Finn's death in Season Two, Clarke isn't concerned with getting back on the horse as far as dating goes; she's pretty busy trying...show more content... Initial takeaways from critics was that The 100 was "disappointingly familiar" (Starr). Clarke and Lexa's kiss, the first indication that their relationship isn't platonic, doesn't come until very late in the second season. When it does come, it's a very brief moment – Clarke does kiss back, but she also stops kissing about three seconds later, and tells Lexa "I can't." The implication is that Clarke means "I can't right now because my last love interest died about five minutes ago and also I'm responsible for keeping hundreds of people alive even though I'm only 17," not "I can't because we're both girls." (Rachel) Still though, viewers were hoping for a little more than the few seconds of blissful bi reciprocal feelings seen. Much has been said about this show, and so much of it enthusiastic, that most people would be prepared for a full–on relationship. What viewers actually got ultimately amounts to a demonstration that our protagonist is bi, but the scene doesn't last long enough to do much more. What's more, Lexa and Clarke don't exactly end the season on an amicable note. While viewers are cautiously optimistic about Clarke and Lexa's reconciliation, the fact remains that if viewers had blinked several times, they could possibly have missed this Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Engl 100 Essay Kien Nguyen Essay #2 07/31/2013 ENGL 100F/ 18:30–21:50/ M–T Chris Andrews An Emoticons Era Nowadays, with the non–stop developments of socioeconomics, it is an undeniable truth that technologies and social networks are playing a vital role in our daily life. We have come to the new era of communication when people can contact each other everywhere, at every moment. Thus, technologies are now the dominant factor in our communication today, since we have such an exceptional access to information and people. Truly, geographic limitation is now destroyed in terms of communication. However, we are becoming more ignorant about how these technologies are affecting our life every day. We are abusing these communicating methods without...show more content... The movie Wall–E by Walt Disney has greatly depicted this problem that is happening in our modern world. Though the society in the Axiom is not the same as our society nowadays, we are heading there. Our social interaction are now becoming more reliant on technologies. People talking on the screen day and night, without knowing that they are becoming detached from the real world. We start to lose our own feelings for each other, we start to forget our own value in life. Thus, the real–life interactions are on its way to become a strange thing because we do not want to see each other. We created technologies so we can get closer to each other. Indeed, we created our own tragic flaw – we respect these devices more than we respect each other, and we are virtually becoming machines. The two characters in the movie, John and Mary, could have been the only ones that really communicated without the screen in front of them. They felt to be real human beings again. When they have opened their eyes, getting away from those technologies, they are happier than ever and nothing could distract them from living as real–human again. Without a doubt, technologies can be such an interruption that are destroying the communication among humans nowadays. Distraction is one of the most detrimental effects of technologies on our daily life. While these devices such as computers, Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. Race Ethnicity And Law Enforcement Essay Sociology 100| Exploration of a Journal Article in Sociology | By: Kenneth Hinchey| Professor Hartnett 4/29/2012 | The article I have chosen is titled "Race, Ethnicity, and Law Enforcement. This article explores the relationship between race, criminality and law enforcement and highlights some of the issues surrounding the intersection of race and criminal behavior. After reading this article I found a few things interesting, such as when the author writes about class subordination, which was identified by W.J. Wilson (1978). He explains how in the second half of the twentieth century, civil rights leaders made great strides to achieve equal rights for people of all racial groups.

  • 7. Kass Morgan The 100 Personal Response The 100 by Kass Morgan is a action packed science fiction book, taken place hundreds of years in the future after a nuclear war on earth, killed most of humanity. I chose to read this book because I like books that has twists and you are left with a constant question of "what will happen next". No one has felt the ground beneath their feet in centuries. That is until today, the council sent down 100 juvenile delinquents to test if Earth was sustainable. No one knows why it was so urgent but, these boys and girls who are all under the age of eighteen and are beginning to experience what everyone else dreams about, they finally are seeing the beauty of earth from the blanket of green underneath there toes. Although you'd think this is the life, to some, it's a matter to some of life and death.

  • 8. What is Stress? Essay Stress is something that affects many people each and every day. Life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands. For some people stress is so common it is a way of life. Stress can be very harmful and or helpful. It could help motivate you to meet a deadline and perform a task under pressure. Stress can also be very harmful, such as memory problems, moodiness, aches and pains, and eating more or less. So what is stress? Stress is a normal physical response that happens when you feel threatened or upset. When you feel that you are in danger whether it is real or imaged. Your body has a response when stress occurs and it is a way of actually protecting you. Many times, stress helps people stay more focussed and energetic....show more content... Stress can affect the mind, body, and behavior. These affects could cause your relationships with others can be affected with your girlfriend, parents, or anyone else who is significant in your life. Stress has many different symptoms the most often and most common is having a headache. On your body the effects of stress are muscle tension or pain, chest pain, and fatigue. The effects of stress on your mood is anxiety, restlessness, and lack of motivation or focus. Finally, the effects of stress on your behavior is overeating or under eating, drug or alcohol abuse, and social withdraw. Since anyone at any age can be stressed there is no certain population that is effected the most. I would say that teenagers get stressed easily due to school, spots and or jobs. The thing that stresses most high school student out is picking and choosing what they are going to do after high school and what college they will be going to if any. People a little bit older after college could be stressed by trying to find a job or trying to find or support a family. Older people could be stressed if they are running out of money but besides that older people are probably the least stressful people in are population.

  • 9. Minecraft Essay Minecraft is a game where the player uses their imagination to shape the world around them using the resources they find. In the world everything is shaped like a block or a cube, this includes the trees, the dirt, the water, the clouds, even the sun, everything. This simple game hasn't even been released yet but has already sold over one million copies. Minecraft was created by one man, Markus "Notch" Persson, and this is his story. What makes the story of Minecraft so unique is that it was created by Notch and only Notch. Notch had a job before Minecraft, working on games for a company. He started to work on Minecraft in his free time but after a giant popularity spike he realized that it could be a hit, so he quit his job and began ...show more content... The game sells around 10,000 copies per day. It has become a cultural phenomenon and on January 12, 2011 sales passed the one million mark, but they continued to rise. With popularity increasing, big name comics like "Penny Arcade" and "Hejibits" discovered the game too and published comic strips about minecraft, leading to even further sales. Minecraft makes $250,000 a day and continues to do so. On June 13, 2011, Minecraft passed 2.5 million sales. Today Mojang has 10 employees. Markus Persson, Jens Bergensten, Daniel Kaplan, Junkboy, Jakob Porser, Carl Manneh, Tobias Mollstam, Aron Neiminen, Daniel Frisk, and Daniel Rosenfeld. These few people make up the team that continues to work towards Minecraft's future. But with so few employees things take time. Even though the game has not been officially released, people who buy the game get a copy of what it is right now as the updates are being pushed out. With such success Mojang is the target of some heavy criticism from blogs, critics, and even their own fans. One speculation from fans is that Minecraft will be the company's 1 hit wonder. What happens if it truly is a one hit wonder? Will the company go down under? Will it be the end of Mojang? Will they join a publisher in order to stay afloat and lose their title of "indie?" Another speculation concerns Mojang's next game that has absolutely nothing to do with Minecraft, not even in the same genre. What if nobody likes the game? What Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 11. Essay about Unforgettable experience "I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." Said by Marilyn Monroe. For once, I believed what someone said without a doubt, and most importantly from experience. Everything happens for a reason, and good things can fall apart so better can fall together. Personal experience's can change people in the sense of who they are and sometimes their perspective on life depending on the situation. Personally I have had one experience that has made me realize many things in life and I will...show more content... I felt the biggest knot in my throat as i tried holding in my tears. Once I couldn't hold back my tears anymore, I felt a shadow of people over me. It was the most comforting, hurtful crowd ever to surround me, my team. I opened my eyes and saw every one of their faces and thought that I was letting them down. They were all asking if I was okay and I couldn't help but stand up and walk it off. I walked to the bench with the feeling of a knife going straight in through one side of my ankle and out the other. I thought about what I can do to keep practicing. I got up, limped all the way to the trainers room and asked them to tape it as tight as they can without it hurting me. Walking back out on to the field, where my team is still practicing, I sucked it all up and pulled my coach aside. I explained to him how it only hurt at the moment and a little after I walked it off. Inside, I was dying of pain. He told me to run around for a little and if I felt comfortable I can join the practice again. I felt like it wasn't such a big deal so I got back on the field and started running around. Right when practice ended, I walked back to the trainers room. I unwrapped my ankle from all that tape to find an extra swollen ankle looking as if there were a softball in it. She looked at my ankle, looked at me, and told me there was no way she was letting me leave her room without getting checked. She told me to lay on my Get more content on HelpWriting.net

The assessment is primarily based on improvement and completing a minimum number of pages (5 pages skipping lines) by the established deadline. My feedback to students is focused on interaction with what they have written as opposed to correcting syntax or orthography. Since this is a dialogue journal, I respect the confidential nature of what students choose to write. Be prepared for students to share anecdotes that may be sensitive in content.

  • 15. “A Rose for Emily” Essay Samuel Martin Instructor Waszak LIT 100 December 7, 2014 "A Rose for Emily": Explain what we learn about Miss Emily's character in the story (not just what she does, but what kind of person she is). Use specific evidence found in the story to support your conclusions. Be alert to the possibility that the narrator who reveals this evidence to us might have certain biases of his/her/their own. In the poem "A Rose for Emily", William Faulkner stated that "another sad and tragic manifestation of man's condition [is] in which he dreams and hopes, in which he is in conflict with himself or with his environment or with others" (Faulkner 79–80). In "A Rose for Emily," a young girl, Emily Grierson, faces a rather tragic life and undergoes...show more content... In her killing of Homer, she is holding onto the past– she is attempting to hold on to the relationship that she and Homer once had, or she wished that she had. She keeps his corpse lying in bed next to her, which is implied when it was "noticed that in the second pillow was the indentation of a head" and a "long strand of iron–gray hair" (78). Emily's inability to let go of the past has been exemplified in the examples of her refusal to pay taxes and her murdering of Homer. However, the true cause of her inability to let go of the past lies in her conflict with in herself. Faulkner wrote "A Rose for Emily" with the intent to focus on the tragedy of man's inner conflict, as well as outer. The two examples given are perfect in demonstrating these two types of conflicts. In the first, Emily is in conflict with her surroundings, in which the town officials are trying to tax her. In the second, Emily is in conflict with herself. She "knew that you do not murder people. She had been trained that you do not take a lover. You marry, you don't take a lover" (80). Emily tries to embrace the tradition and background of getting married, having a family, and being in love. However, these aspirations soon caused her to break down when Homer was going to leave. These conflicts, most importantly the one within herself, strongly impacted Emily to be unable to let go of the past. Over all, in "A Rose for

English 100 Reflection I have only been attending Cleveland State University for two semesters, and as this course comes to an end I feel like I grown and learned many techniques more than ever. I came to Cleveland State University with only my high school knowledge on how to format an argumentative essay, and throughout this course I now know how to write and format many other papers. Taking English 100 has taught me how to break down and analyze an article, it taught me how to find confidence in my work, and it helped me grow to an even better writer. Writing or critiquing a paper have never been my strongest, but as I finish English 100 I feel that I have now found a strategy that has helped me achieve both of these struggles. One of the strategies that has helped...show more content... However, I believe that my argumentative essay is my strongest essay. I believe that my argumentative essay is my strongest essay in my portfolio because I am so use to writing a paper similar to this that it came second nature to me when I began to write it. I also believe that this is my strongest essay because this was the first time I properly used transition words and phrases throughout my entire essay. For instance, my conclusion flowed perfectly right into the next sentence, "Thus, the thought of using a cellular device while driving is not the worst thing do to while operating a vehicle. Therefore, the committees and groups should rethink their recommendations on bans being proposed..." (Spicer 4).

  • 19. Wellesley College Admission Essay Sample Looking at "Wellesley 100", what impressed me at first glance was number 26, the impressive list of scientific equipment that are available at Wellesley College. Owing to my parents experience in the field of biomedicine and their influence on me, I have always been intrigued by the methodologies and types of equipment used to conduct the various scientific research that have built the field of biology and biomedicine. My fascination with research originates from the opportunity that I had to visit my father and his colleagues in a research facility in Beijing University, where my father's team were conducting research to test the result of a certain herbal medicine on rats. I was truly fascinated by the facility, the light microscopes, centrifuges,...show more content... In fact, art has always been an integral part my life. My journey with art started when I was still in Iran and my mother enlisted me in my first extracurricular art class. After moving to Beijing, the capital of China, I became fascinated with Chinese painting that is quite different from western paintings in both mediums and techniques. Thus, I had an opportunity to be trained in Chinese Gongbi and Shui–mo painting. In addition, when my journey brought me to the United States, I took advantage of the flexible high school schedule that I previously did not have and enrolled in a variety of art classes. I was able to produce my own short animation, explore different mediums such as watercolor, acrylic, and clay, learn to develop in the dark room what I photographed with my film camera, and create works of art such as sculptures and paintings, all of which have been displayed in my school's galleries. After my virtual tour of The Jewett Arts Center, I wishfully envision myself of walking down the halls and getting inspiration by the excellent variety of artworks. The art center resonates the promise that I can further explore my artistic abilities at Wellesley College and perhaps step out of my comfort zone and lead an unprecedented adventure with oil Get more content on HelpWriting.net
