"I like" or "I don't like" do not display any ability to skillfully or flexibly express these functions.
For these questions, the first step is to find some alternative language for "liking". The following are
some expressions can be used:
I'm fairly/pretty keen on....
I'm really into....
I'm quite a big fan of ...
I simply adore...
I'm quite enthusiastic about ...
I generally prefer ... (use only when comparing)
Most of the adverbs are interchangeable in this list.
Look at the following answer for the previous question: Do you like animals?
"Well to be quite honest, in general I would say that I'm actually quite keen on animals, but in
particular I would probably have to say that I'm really into domestic pets like dogs. I guess the
reason why I'm a fan of dogs is because I adore their loyalty and companionship. In addition to dogs
I suppose I'm also pretty passionate about endangered species, especially dolphins and things like
that and this is due to the fact that I feel some degree of responsibility towards wildlife protection."

3. Waiting On The World To Change John Mayer Analysis
Waiting on the World to Change by John Mayer: Music Speaks
In 2006, John Mayer released the song "Waiting on the World to Change," off of his album
Continuum. Mayer went on to receive a Grammy Award for best male pop vocal performance for
this song in 2007. The music video for this song was directed by Philip Andelman. There are two
main scenes in the music video, the first is John Mayer casually strolling along the East River in
New York City and the other is where commissioned graffiti artists, Futura 2000, Tats Cru, and Daze
graffiti messages that correlate to the lyrics of the song (Macleod 1). In the music video for "Waiting
on the World to Change," Andelman and John Mayer illustrate how the current generation seems to
be indifferent ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Although it was written in 2006, this song could also apply to society today. We are currently living
in a digital world. Music and social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are the
main platform for the current generation. Many people use social media sites to express their
thoughts and opinions about certain issues. And artists use music and their lyrics to get their point
across to their intended audience. Because of our "lack of power," music and social media allow us
to voice our opinions about current issues.
A current issue that hits close to home is the recent announcement of HC&S shutting down the sugar
plantation on Maui; the last plantation in Hawaii. Over the past two years or so, I have read posts on
Facebook about people's opinions on the effects of burning sugar cane, how people feel about it, and
"protests" on why they should keep the plantation running. I must admit, I was amongst many who
merely posted about how I felt about the issue. This issue corresponds to the song in the way that
many of us were waiting on other people to speak up and actively do something to either support or

5. Practical Tips For Positive Thinking Essay
Practical Tips For Positive Thinking – Positivity Can Be Learned –
By Jinjee Talifero
Aug 4, 2011
Why Positivity Can Be Learned
Wouldn 't it be nice to always – or mostly – have positive thoughts?
We have to live inside our heads a large part of our waking life. Granted, when we are working,
playing, exercising, or socializing in any way –– relating to family, friends, co–workers, etc...we are
taken outside of ourselves, out of our heads, and our own mind–chatter is less present. And these
activities are a great way to reduce our mind–chatter when we are feeling negative, and they can
lead to a total turn–around too.
But when we are on our own we mostly live inside out heads. And often the inner life in there is not
all pleasant. We spend a lot of time in anger, anxiety, strife, worry, fear, negativity, arguments,
sadness, brooding, drama, etc...
Instead, we could be planning, dreaming, thinking creative thoughts, having realizations, insights,
and breakthroughs, having thoughts of gratitude, enjoyment, fun. We could be experiencing the
moment in awe, wonder, enthusiasm, excitement, and feeling waves of passion, ecstasy, and bliss.
Yes, these are all valid ways of being, these are all attainable inner states.
Beautifying Your Inner Landscape
How do we attain such beautiful inner landscapes? Like outer landscapes, they can be cultivated.
Some landscapes are born beautiful. Others need a little cultivation.

Is Holden Claufield a misfit in societyI do think that Holden Claufield is a misfit in society. It
doesn't seem like that is society fault that he is, its just the type of person that he is. He describes
everyone around him as them being a phony as he likes to describe it.
The way Holden cant fit into the society around has drove him to hate it, instead of him coming to
realize this he just judges other people on the fakeness and dishonesty. Holden even thinks that his

It is pretty clear that Holden was badly hurt by the loss and disappointed by the grief that overcame
him. He found himself talking out loud to Allie in attempts to find comfort, he did it a lot when he
was suicidal. Between Holden 's hypercritical views on others and his effort to push himself out of
reality, he became lonesome and hoped for companionship. Insecurity controlled Holden 's mind, he
began believing that others wouldn't accept him for who he was and felt he had to keep up
appearances by lying to others. But all of this stopped him from getting what he wanted most which
was approval and to be understood. Holden Caulfied has cynical, sceptical, and even unsociable
views of the world around him. He resents the power society had over people, how it can easily
change an innocent child into someone snobbish. He despises how a person 's will is not strong
enough to stand against society 's power. However, he is just as fault as everyone else. In the end,
Holden has not yet noticed his hypocrisy because he still refuses to admit that this is how the cycle
of life is and that one cannot question it, but only embrace

11. Food Is Cheap, At Least Compared With 4 Years Ago By Dan...
Summary The article that I did was "Food is Cheap, At Least compared with 4 years ago" by Dan
Charles. This article is about how the global food price index is going down, and has fallen to its
lowest level in the last four years. It is saying that a lot of different foods are getting cheaper like
grains, vegetable oils, sugar, and dairy products. So that means that CPI should decrease now since a
family will be spending less money on those products. The only place where the prices are not
falling is in the meat industry especially in the beef industry. That is because the supply for beef was
decreased after a drought made the suppliers want to decrease the size of the herd. That in turn
caused the producers of the beef to have expectations that the future was going to be bleak for them.
So they decided to not spend as much in their planned investments. Now because of these past
decisions; when the market rebounded it the supply was down. Another plus in the market that is
currently happening in the U.S. right now is that the food industry is having harvests of corn and
soybean that will break the records in the overall production and yield per acre. This has caused the
grain prices to fall by almost half. This makes the producers of pork, poultry, and beef very happy.
Their PPI has gone down, so they are getting their things that they need to feed their animals
cheaply. Then they are selling their animals at a very high rate, higher than normal

but subtle sound of country music coming from inside. Upon entering you can't help but notice the
pictures of all the smiling faces that are along the walls. This is a place that welcomes families and
the whole community. Promptly before you have the chance to get too comfortable, you are greeted
and then seated. Now, seated, you have the task of looking over the menu and all of its possible
choices. Without fail, our waitress comes over, introduces herself, and asks if we would like
something to drink to start us off. Viewing the possible choices, which include some Pepsi products,

things which were watching movies and listing to music so I chose video editing to be my main
career choice because video editing has to do with the film and audio"Why, if someone is good in
one field can they not be accepted or given the slightest opportunity to express and be creative in

Darkness descended, the fog drifted through the dark streets and a chilling wind whistles pass the
sleeping homes; the street of old houses looked dull and unwelcoming, an eerie presence had settled
in. The old woman walked leisurely to the top of the street, she held her cane firmly in her old dark
and aged hand, she hit the ground twice. The hollow sound echoed around like a tremor. She then
used it to take her weight. Her bulged eyes scanned the darkness as the fog crept in, it was then she
saw a black mass forming into the figure of a man, they walked closer. The tall figure, he was
dressed in an old black suit, his old pale featureless face appeared from the darkness, he stood
motionless. She acknowledged his presence as he knelt on his cane and she saw the golden handle,
she looked up and he took off his hat and acknowledged her in a deep yet strong voice. "Welcome,"
"I heard your calling, the children are waiting," Said the woman, "Time has come; paths shall now
cross as they come to seek the truth. However, he shall also rise," "There is talk around town; but no
one has worked out what's happening," "They will, Whittle has already begun piecing the clues
together; everything shall become clear as the innocent returns. The diary is hidden, if he finds it the

Who Moved My Cheese?
This book, by Spencer Johnson, reveals the truths about how we deal with change that happens in
our lives which effects us in so many ways, either positively or negatively. The book takes an
amusing approach to what happens when you don't adapt to change and what happens when you do.
In the book, cheese is used as a metaphor for what you want to have in life. All my life I wanted the
nice house, the beautiful wife, the kids, money, the dog, the nice tuck to pull the nice boat, the great
career, and so on , and so on. To me, it's human nature to want those things and I eventually got all

instead of letting go of the relationship. Repeating the same behavior will just get you the same
results." I have always thought that that is the definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and
over, expecting different results. If it isn't, it's pretty close. I saw a little bit of me in all four
characters. I had my own Cheese Station C at one time and boy was it nice. I was making an income

of myself before anyone or anything else. I never took the time to take a step back and be thankful
for everything that I had been blessed with. I just wanted more and more. Once I got more, I still
had a feeling of wanting more. My cheese kept piling up and I didn't even think that it could all spoil
or disappear someday. Not once did it enter my busy complicated little brain. Then one day, it
happened. It was all gone. I woke up one morning and my cheese was no longer there. Like Hem

own resources and whatever insights we can pick up from the people around us" (Morris ix).
So many of my classmates through the years had complained about having to read excerpts from old
stories. They didn't understand why they had to read pieces of Beowulf, or the Iliad. Only a handful
of us enjoyed what we read and could comprehend the cryptic writings. Those who were willing to
read and maybe reread the text were able to retain more information so they would be better equip
for some other circumstances. Not only did they pass the unit test, they also brought that knowledge
to other classes with them. It doesn't matter if the lessons from people in the past are entertaining or

How can we trust others if we can't even trust ourselves? When a person wants to know what they

a person mustn't lie to themselves. Self– deception is an illusion that is hard to look past. The
possibilities are endless for the situations in which illusions take place. An example of such an
illusion is a family with financial issues that is blind to the fact that they need to stop spending so

perceptions of their experiences in the U.S. as each of them (plus one American student and three

Next, things gets easier. The third stage said from this documentary happens to be the adjustment
stage. Here things start to clear up and you start to feel more at ease and at home. Frustrations are
often subdued as travelers begin to feel more familiar and comfortable with the cultures, people,
food, and languages of new environments. Soon the navigation becomes easier along with the
friends and communities of support are being established.
Finally the last stage is referred as the "acceptance stage," according to one foreign student. After
some weeks or months we are noticing improvement within ourselves after have wrestling with the
emotional stages. The final stage of cultural shock doesn't mean that the new cultures and
environments are completely understood, it signifies realization that complete understanding isn't
necessary to function and thrive in new surroundings. During this stage, travelers have the
familiarity and are able to draw together the resources they need to feel at ease.
The same students which laid out for us the stages of cultural shock also shared their experiences
expressing how they felt about Americans. Tina Lang, one of the foreign students at Boston

Racial Discrimination, Can Ruin People's Life
Racism always does harm to the people more or less .Most of the people become grumpy and

their future. The incorrect and radical thoughts lead them go to a wrong way–doing inappropriate
things in their life which can't change the society.
Racism is a kind of discrimination which based on different ethnics or colors. It is existing all over
the world. It has existed from ancient times to now. It was started by governments for dividing
different classes to show how noble the rulers were. As we all thought, it was an awful policy in
ancient times. As society develops, people have some wars and they won them in many countries.
However, horrible racism lasts still now, ruins some people' life seriously.
The groups of people who are treated in bad, unfair and violent ways must bear mock and violent
which will make bad effects on their heart. They get the unfair treatments due to the ridiculous
reasons–– ethnic and color. The hurt will last for their whole lifetimes and will affect their decision
in their future. Most of the times, their affected decision will make their life worse.

Living and growing up in a small town is better than doing so in a big city.
Everyone knows your name; there is a sense of community spirit and just going to visit your
neighbor can be rewarding. On the flip side, city life breeds a more dangerous lifestyle and leaves
no chance for getting to know your fellow townsfolk.
Small town life was especially meaningful to me and I remember it fondly.
Things were much simpler back then, because we lived in less complicated times. We did not have
video games or computers to occupy our time. We had more natural ways to engage ourselves such
as going down to the local watering hole to swim or fish. Living in a farming community gave us an

time I remember a parent looking out for us was when my brother nearly drowned in the local river.
He was always tagging along with my friends and me even though he was still too young at six to do
most of the things that we did. When we would go swimming at the river I trusted him to stay safe
in the shallows while we older kids braved the deeper spots. It all happened so quickly that later I
marveled at how close we came to losing him. Mr. Ramsey just happened to be on the river that day
fishing down the way from us. Well, he had caught himself a forty–five pound little brother by the
time we figured out what was going on. He hauled my brother over the side of his boat gasping and
crying in fear. I felt really bad that day because I had not being paying enough attention to him. I felt
very grateful though that once again a combined parent in the community was watching us.
All of these memories have been brought home to me more often now that I am raising children of
my own. Unfortunately, we were not been able to give them that benefit of small town life at first.

40. Country Music and Eric Church
Country music is a genre that some might absolutely love and some might absolutely hate. It is a
style of music that developed in the southern and western U.S. and often contains lyrics relating to
the lives of people who live in the country. While there are a lot of different types of country music,
a very popular country artist of this time is Eric Church. Church brings a bit of a twist to country
music, with really telling us how he feels. Talking about one of his songs in particular, "homeboy"
about a lost young man needing to "come on home, boy." Eric Church is a good ole' country boy
from Granite Falls, North Carolina. At thirteen is when Church started writing songs and playing
guitar. His passion for music grew later in life and he moved to Nashville, where he was signed with
Sony Tree Records. His last album Chief won Album of the Year from both the CMA and ACM in
the last awards cycle, as it probably should have compared to its competition. Eric Church will
never win the popularity contests like "Entertainer" or "Male Vocalist" categories because he has
made more enemies than friends in the industry and beyond. But his music's unpredictability is the
magic quotient that can't be denied, and continues to win him loyal fans. Church's song "Homeboy"
takes the form of a pep talk by a satisfied rural farmer to a prodigal son wandering astray through
urban culture. Church thinks that he'd be better off drinking a beer, baling hay, and hanging out with
his high school

44. Physics By Aristotle Summary
Physics by Aristotle
Aristotle begins by describing the meaning of the words "nature" and "natural." He identifies the
meaning of each, and also explains some common phrases which include each of the words.
He says all natural things have a principle of motion and of stationariness. He also says that natural
things are composed of stone, earth, or a mixture of the two. According to him, artificial products do
not possess the source of their own production. For example, the nature of a bed is of wood. He says
that if the bed was planted and began to rot, a shoot may grow from that. Aristotle says that a bed
would not be growing, but wood (in the form of a tree), which is the nature of the bed. Another idea

Aristotle continues to describe how some people believe that the entire universe was created in a
moment of spontaneity. He begins to define what occurrences are due to chance and those that are
due to spontaneity. He says that chance cannot be the cause of things that come to be due to
necessity. He concludes that chance and intelligent reflection are similar. He ends with the statement
that things that come to pass by chance or spontaneity are not caused by necessary or normal
reasons, but they do come to pass for the sake of something. Aristotle begins part six by describing
the relationship between spontaneity and chance. He tells us that things that result from chance are
from spontaneity, but those from spontaneity are not always due to chance. He explains the three
characteristics of things that come to pass due to spontaneity. These occurrences are for the sake of
something, do not occur for the end result, and are caused by some external force. He tells us that
intelligence and nature both come before chance and spontaneity. Aristotle then explains that there
are four causes, and describes which ones account for matter and which ones account for motion. He
also explains how Nature belongs in the class of cause that works for the sake of something. He

Expert Author Loretta Love Huff
Most humans resist the idea of stepping directly into the things that frighten them. Of course, there
are some things that warrant fear and deserve avoidance action (crime, fire, hurricanes, etc). But
those are things we don 't tend to encounter regularly in our daily lives (hopefully).
Fear, none–the–less, is often present and yet not always warranted. If you are reaching beyond your
comfort zone, you 'll likely feel afraid. That does NOT mean, you shouldn 't reach. You should
always reach.
Here are some specific strategies you can use to take that fear and turn it into freedom, financial
freedom or personal freedom.
1. Do the scariest thing on your to–do list the first thing in the morning
This will free you up immediately. Even if you don 't get the result you wanted, just the fact that you
confronted your fear and took action will build your confidence and allow you to tackle other things
on your list that will now feel easy and breezy.

48. The Principle Two
2. Principle two – Overcoming FEAR
Our second principle for better self–empowerment is the overcoming of fear in general. Fear is a
part of our lives. It appears when we are uncertain or faced with something new. It is natural to feel
this way, but it can become a problem when it rules our every decision. If for instance, the fear of
failing a job interview keeps you indoors and miserable, then there's a serious problem here. So,
what is fear? Well, fear can be described as an uncomfortable emotion caused by the strong
impression that a person or an object is harmful, capable of causing pain, or a poses threat. In other
words, the fear of something or somebody is something that can easily threaten your wellbeing.
It's one thing to be scared of something new, or scared because you feel you're being threatened, but
it is a problem if you use fear to make excuses for your failures in life. For instance, you have
people saying "huh, I don't want to go and work overseas because I'm scared of people who don't
speak the same language as me". And people like that almost never get out of the country. They
spend their holidays here in the states as well as their honeymoon and would rather let their fear
dictate their conduct. One may think that this type of fear may be justified with all the insecurity
happening all over the world and that we shouldn't blame people who think like that. But, when you
think about it, making excuses for things that are simple, like refusing to take a

50. Online Learning Vs. Traditional Classroom
When a person thinks of someone going to college they probably imagine them walking across a
large campus or sitting in a lecture hall among other students. While this is the way many people do
choose to attend college, there are also those who have chosen to get their degree in an online
setting. Online learning gives people the opportunity to get their education in a way that is more
flexible and can fit in with their daily lives. Though both are reputable forms of higher educations,
there are distinct differences between learning in a tradition classroom and learning in an online
setting.
The most obvious difference in online learning versus traditional classroom learning is the setting.
Traditionally, students would gather in a classroom where they would take notes, listen to lectures,
turn in work, and take exams. Online learning, on the other hand, can take place in multiple
locations at various times. Online college programs, like Bethels, give more flexibility to students
because there are no set times for lectures. Videos of lectures and other important information
relating to the class can be viewed at any time and they can also be viewed as often as needed.
Because these lectures are constantly available, student can view the videos and reading material
multiple times in order to get a better understanding of the class. Books are also commonly available
within the online classroom, giving students even more access (Bethel University, 2014). Online

52. Critique Of The Great Divorce
Critique of The Great Divorce The Great Divorce is a wonderful work of literature written by C.S.
Lewis about a mans trip on a bus to heaven and an understanding of eternity written form a first
person perspective. It starts out with this man getting on a bus with several other people on it; to his
surprise the bus begins to fly. After a while in flight the bus begins to descend, and the trees that
were once figures far below him begin to get closer and closer until finally he lands on a completely
different plant than Earth. One of the first things that he realizes when he, and the others, step off the
bus is that the people who he road there with, who were once full figured, regular looking people,
had now become ghost; "man–stains on the brightness of that air," as he puts. One of the first things
that he notices is that the grass and the flowers do not brake when he steps on them they just wave
through him. He bends down to attempt to break a blade of grass with the result only ending up in
total failure after putting all his strength into it. As they were standing there, all of a sudden spirits
(solid people) came out of the distance and ran up to them. Some of the people that accompanied
them ran back on the bus while other, including him, stayed. For the next few chapters it is basically
him eavesdropping on conversations between the ghost, and the spirits. The first conversation is
between two people that clearly knew each other on earth. The spirit had been a

54. Don Manuel Osorio Manrique De Ziga
Simply put, Don Manuel Osorio Manrique De Ziga is a great piece of art. The colours used in the
piece were very well used. The meaning was very easy for me to find in the piece. I had also learned
a very important life lesson from the piece. Don Manuel Osorio Manrique De Ziga captures how
fleeting a child's innocence can be through its powerful colours and imagery.
The thing that was most prominent in this piece was the range of colours used. Firstly, almost all the
colours highly contrast with each other. The first thing that immediately popped out to me was the
little boy in the picture. His outfit was a bright red while the rest of the piece was muted earth tones.
It makes the boy the focal point and helped me find what I feel is the meaning of the peace.
Secondly, the muted earth tones work very well with piece. No colours stand out in particular, which
I think was the goal with this piece. The piece is comprised of mossy, almost sickly looking greens
and dark chocolate brown, giving off the vibe that maybe the painting was really old, even went it
was first revealed. Thirdly, all the colours in the picture feel very cold and distant. The red is almost
too bright, and isn't a warm, easy on the eyes type of red. The greens, grays and browns feel cold
and damp, and bring no comfort into the piece. The colour of the child skin himself is very pale, the
whole painting not with a hint of warmth or comfort in any part of the piece. The colours of Don

All Over but the Shoutin' by Rick Bragg is an autobiography that starts from Mr. Bragg's
impoverished childhood in a family that included an abusive, alcoholic father, an incredibly
powerful angel of a mother and his two brothers, and follows him through his Pulitzer Prize–
winning journalistic career at the New York Times. The author states at the beginning of the book
that readers will laugh and cry reading it. He was right on the money with both of these points.

offering no financial assistance and stealing whatever he could before he left. When he was there, he

As I said before, I grew up in a middle class family. This made it difficult for me to completely
understand everything that he was talking about in the book. I never knew what it was like to have
little or no food to eat. If we didn't have anything to eat our family would go to a restaurant and eat
or go shopping and get food.
Also, the work aspect is difficult to understand for me. I know what his mother did was what all
people in her situation did then. The working conditions that she dealt with day in and day out were
horrific. And the thing was she never complained about it or quit. I know if I was in her situation I
would have never lasted. I would have quit and tried to find another job. Another option that middle
class workers have is taking vacation time if it gets to hot out or if it is raining. That is just the way
we deal with situations like that. I believe our generation living in those conditions would never
have made it back then.
Communication is a very important aspect of any family. Good communication leads to a better
family life. Bragg and his mother in particular seemed to communicate very well. The way he
details each of his childhood stories is very good and since most of the stories are told by the
motherly figure in your life you can see the communication is good. The communication between

First, then. I will say to you my young friends––and I say it beseechingly, urgingly––
Always obey your parents, when they are present. This is the best policy in the long run, because if
you don't, they will make you. Most parents think they know better than you do, and you can
generally make more by humoring that superstition than you can by acting on your own better
judgment.
Be respectful to your superiors, if you have any, also to strangers, and sometimes to others. If a
person offend you, and you are in doubt as to whether it was intentional or not, do not resort to
extreme measures; simply watch your chance and hit him with a brick. That will be sufficient. If you
shall find that he had not intended any offense, come out frankly and confess yourself in the wrong
when you struck him; acknowledge it like a man and say you didn't mean to.

60. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Thinking for oneself, is thinking against oneself
(Brave New World Compare/Contrast Essay) Aldous Huxley, one of the most gifted and influential
literary figures of the mid–twentieth century, wrote the intriguing story Brave New World. The story
focused on a perfect Utopia that existed in the future and a man from a different society that came in
with what they've believed to be distorted ideas which went against everything the Utopia stood for
and would test the very ideas on which that world represented. Their uniquely different ways of
being brought up led the Savage character to have contrasting opinions to those grown inside of the
Utopia characters, Lenina and Bernard. By having these separate upbringings, their opinions and
ideas are formed and created in ways that contrast each other because they weren't grown to learn
certain things as the other was and some of the main themes that caused conflicts throughout the
story was their contrasting beliefs towards "everyone belongs to everyone" and taking soma. Lenina
is a Beta girl who was created and grown inside of the Utopia, with the Ford ways everyone in their
society had to go through. She went through hypnopedia, where a voice tells you multiple things to
believe and do, on a daily basis to behave the way society wanted her too. This told the people when

JUST WHY it should have happened, or why it should have happened just when it did, he could not,

trodden out of shape on the path in the park, a pebble of carnelian, a sea shell distinguishable from
all others by an unusual spot or stripe––and, as if it were anyone of these, he carried around with
him everywhere a warm and persistent and increasingly beautiful sense of possession. Nor was it
only a sense of possession––it was also a sense of protection. It was as if, in some delightful way,

John Mayer attended Berklee College of Music in Boston,
Massachusetts and after two semesters he dropped out to pursue his passion and to go and preform
with Clay Cook in Atlanta, Georgia. The band eventually broke up because of
"creative differences" and John became a solo artist. John Mayer's first full–length album without

For this narrative, I interviewed my mom, Amanda Lopez. At first, she seems mean. That's very
blunt but it's true. My mom is a very guarded and self–reserved person. She does have manners and
she is nice but, she won't open up immediately to a new person. She is also very hard working and
independent. She wasn't born with these qualities, she went through a lot of different struggles, but
that's how she ended up where she is today.
My mom didn't have a very good high school experience. Her mom always moved, which caused
her to move. Which caused her to have few friends. She never participated in sports or arts. She
mostly focused on her home life and school. Her mom never really supported her. When asked about
the future, she state "I never thought about the future, it was more of a day by day, moment by
moment kind of thing. How am I going to pay for this and when will I get my homework done?" My
mom had to buy her own clothes, pay the rent at her mom's house, and juggle school work. So, as
you can imagine, she had a lot on her plate. Although, she did have support from her aunt and uncle.
But, she still had to do a lot of things on her own. "Aunt Terri and I would go to her parent's house
and hang out on the farm. We would do every day normal stuff like baking and knitting."

dominance. Chopin Shows that back then race was everything. It meant so much that people would
consider you subhuman or worthless if u had any in your blood line, it also ruined relationships and
caused the feeling of disgrace. Armand took this serious he was the typical stereotype. Armand was
the master of the L'Abri plantation; he was a strict master who treated the slaves cruel. So much
that, the narrator says, "The negroes had forgotten how to be gay." So you can imagine the thought
of him finding out his child was of color. When he found out all hell broke loose. He wanted no
parts of Desiree or the baby after finding out. He even said it was Desiree's fault because she has

and not put much thought into it? Well reading this book called I is an Other by James Geary has
really opened my eyes to really understand the concept of metaphor and what some of its purposes
are. I must say that before reading this book I had never thought of metaphor more than what I
thought it was, but the way Geary talks about it definitely made me think on how it does affect us
and that we use it much more than we think. Geary touches on a lot of points that involve metaphor
without us even knowing it is there. For instance, Geary says that metaphor is not just restricted to
literature and art, but it is also used to reach people in ways like advertising, politics, and money (3).
He talks about metaphor being part of our lives from the very early stages of life, and how we use it
to understand things better. Not only that, but he talks about how metaphor is used in both good and
bad ways, and how we can use it to express ourselves. He explains throughout the book that it is
almost impossible not to use it, so it is something that is a part of us, and without it we would be like

the way metaphor generally affects us is positive because it allows us to understand complex

78. Fighting for Freedom of Education and Human Rights in...

Classical Greece; he was fighting for freedom and education. Malcolm X was an African–American
Muslim who was fighting for human rights. We have two stories one is "The Allegory of the Cave"
and "Learning to read", why do we have to compare this two stories? Can we conclude some very
important things after reviewing? Education is a very strong tool in our hands, and how to learn
right is concurrent part of our life. In this stories we can find two different ways how to study, even
though stories have some same ideas, they are different. I have several reasons why they are
different and how are they similar. The first thing why these stories are similar is that Education can
totally change your view to everything. Education it's a light in darkness, it can open our eyes. In the
"The Allegory of the Cave by Plato" we have some good examples. First example is cave, cave
showing us the world, and many people in this world tie in, only one thing that they can see is the
wall, and in the front of the wall we can see a campfire, they can't turn back, and every time we can
see shadows on the wall. People kind of blind, they can't move, they get used to live in this cave and
watching only one picture of the shadows. In the "Learning to Read by Malcolm X" we can
