...Name: Phung Le Son Class: SNHU 2011 Topic: Write about an remembered event Many people in the world believed that games online are nothing more than wasting time and money. However, nowadays people have changed their thought about games online and considered them as one kind of sports which called e-sport. E- Sports are very different with the other games because it require players to think in game, practice skills to cooperate with allies and defeat the enemies, and especially the players must have the sportsmanship just like the other sports. E-sports also differ from normal game online with regard to the organization. It was held as a real competition sport and the prize for the champion can reach to millions dollars. One well-known e-sports game I played is LOL- League of Legends. In this game, ten people were divided equally into two teams. All you need to do is cooperate with your allies, find a properly strategy, kill the enemies and finally, destroyed the tower’s rivals to achieve the victory. Nevertheless, the most important thing which I like about LOL is that it brings me many kinds of feelings such as disappointment, happiness, excitement… notably the surprise. Then one day, all of these feelings happened to me in the way I had never expected. There was a normal Sunday when I had to meet my friend at a gaming center at 8:00 o’clock. Unfortunately, I was still at home because in the previous night, there was a fantastic movie on TV and I went to bed late and...

...Some people have the view that the events of Dunkirk in 1940 deserve to be remembered as a triumph for Britain and its people. How far do these sources support or contradict this interpretation Dunkirk was an important event during WWll. By 10th May 1940 the German troops had advanced through the parts of France and had advanced the beaches and ports of Dunkirk causing the Allies to retreat and to be trapped. Due to hesitation Hitler did not order the Germans to attack. This allowed Operation Dynamo to take place. This gave the Allies 10 days to be evacuated back to Britain. A variety of boats and ships, which were mostly privately owned, allowed the evacuation to take place. This meant that 140,000 French and 200,000 British troops were rescued. However the consequence of this made France surrender and over 100,000 pieces of ammunition left for the Germans to take or destroy. In addition to the 220,000 troops that were left behind. This essay would be considering both arguments through the evaluation and analysis of a range of sources. B3 taken from a GCSE textbook and supports this statement. It is portraying the fact that Dunkirk should be considered a triumph by stating that 340,000 men, 71 heavy guns and 595 vehicles were rescued. Furthermore it shows that the RAF fighter planes shot down 3 German planes for every RAF plane lost. The evidence from the source also shows that Dunkirk was a triumph and was emphasised by Churchill. However the source lacks detail by...

...The United States has had a history of immortalizing people and other events that have occurred or existed in the past. However some of these “remembrance Statues” are places on areas of no relevance or built depicting an event that did not occur. Therefor before companies or the government decide to build grand monuments to remember people or events they should consider the place where the memorial is going to be placed, what event or person this will depict, and should the person or event be remembered. A major factor to build a memorial should be the place it is built. If a statue of George Washington was built in an area where he suffered a major loss as an army general the statue would be considered inappropriate. Another example is found source E where a holocaust museum was built inside a mall. This caused major controversy because the museum was placed in United...

All of these events aside from the attacks in France had a shorter life in the media then the Starbucks controversy. So does that means the Starbucks thing was or is more important? It started with a tweet on November 5th by Joshua Feuerstein, a evangelist and social media personality.

So let us look at the cups form the last few years to see if there is any truth. In 2014, the cups had illustrations of snowflakes on...

...important factors in fictional works, they attract the reader. In nonfiction works, there are different things that are at play here, too. For nonfiction novels, they are based on true events, due to this, the author has to work harder by making his story factual but interesting. When the author is successful in combining both facts and details, the story should have a “timeless quality.” This quality allows the novel’s characters, events, and other literary qualities...

...forever remembered. The events that happened that day are almost too horrible to describe. The four plotted suicide attacks frightened many Americans, destroyed two iconic building which killed and injured thousands. That day all that I can remember was being pulled from school not really knowing what was going on, just seeing two building buildings called the “world trade center” being burnt down, all I knew was that it was something bad cause of both of my parents reaction to seeing them. Today, when I look back on it, my reaction would have been much different knowing what actually happened. The Memorial for this disaster with all the names and the remaining pieces of the world trade center really sum exactly what happened that day. The picture above was done by a student and it is of one of the memorials for the world trade center. This picture, with all the different colors really bring out the emotion that the memorial gives someone. The colors are all dark and gloomy, with the ripped flag placed waving right above the remaining piece of steal from one of the buildings. Looking at the picture puts you right in front of the memorial and the way it is done make you almost feel as if you were standing in front of it. To be actually standing at the location of this picture would probably give someone a much more emotional reaction, to feel the steal and see the size of it, would make it clearer of how big the buildings actually were and how horrific this event was. Looking...

...interviewed my mom about her experience on September 11, 2001 at the time of the World Trade Center destruction. She is 46 now, but at the time she was only 30 and we were eating breakfast at the table. She remembered almost every detail of the day and she spoke heavily about the time she spent speaking on the phone with one of her close friends. She remembered her thoughts almost exactly as she watched it unfold on our family television. She spoke very specifically about how she tracked the tragedy on the television not only that day, but through the days that followed. She would flip through the television channels and then speak with her best friend on the phone about where they gathered different information. Although the tragedy was so far away it felt so personal to her and so close to home, it could’ve been anyone that was killed and that is what made it so scary. The most important thing she remembered was not being able to comprehend all of the death and destruction of the event. Not only was she sad, she was angry. Angry like millions of other...

...Remembrance is “something that serves to bring to mind or keep in mind some place, person, event, etc.” We have many days specified to one special event that we take the time to remember and celebrate once every year. It is important to have these special days to make sure that events that have happened in the past live on to not be forgotten.

...Patriotic Essay Ladies and gentleman, students and teachers, thank you for coming and listening to my speech. Ben Franklin once said, “If you’re not to be forgotten when you’re dead and rotten, either write something worth reading or do something worth writing”. I believe that this means that everyone needs to do something with their life. There are Americans that have lived up to this quote before, like American writers and patriotic individuals, and there were some events in WWII that were also extremely patriotic. Some American writers are overtly loyal in the literature they write. American writers vary from men to women to all colors like Walt Whitman, Langston Hughes, and Zora Neale Hurston. Walt Whitman, a civil war veteran, decided to write something worth reading. Whitman’s poems are about his time in the war, and about his remarkable events he had gone through. His writings showed Americans the good and bad times of the Civil War. Walt Whitman died in 1892. Langston Hughes wrote against slavery, and he tried his best to do what he could through his writings. Hughes was first noticed when he published his poem “The Negro Speaks of Rivers” in 1921. Langston Hughes did write many things worth reading so he also fulfilled the quote that he will never be forgotten even thought he is dead and rotten (died May 22, 1976). Zora Neale Hurston was another great American writer. Her books inspired Americans though out her life to help end slavery. Zora and Langston finished...

...Repression of memories has been a controversial topic that has been argued for many years. Many people support the myth as it has been imposed in many cases, specifically legal convictions. Although researchers have found methods to refute the myth, individuals still belief they have repressed a memory of a traumatic event. This has recently been seen in 2007 in the Colorado vs. Marshall case. Marshall Adam Walker was accused of sexual assault to a seventeen year-old as he claimed that he made three boys pose nude for videos. He was sentenced to 24 to life in prison. One of the boys claimed to recover a repressed memory of the event while watching a movie (“Legal cases (53)”). This student’s claim made an influential impact on the perpetrator’s...

...distress and be manifested in psychological disorders such post-traumatic stress disorder as well as anxiety disorders. One source of unwanted emotional reactions is memories of stressful or traumatic events. Past research has found that highly emotional memories can be difficult to forget, and can be frequently brought into conscious awareness without volition. Traumatic memories may well be remembered due to unique organizational and structural features in memory. Whether such memories lack proper coherence and organization, or whether they are overly integrated into the life story, stressful memories appear to differ from everyday memories their structure and organizational features. As a result, once a stressful experience has ended, the experience can continue to affect an individual through his or her memory of the event. In spite of the ongoing controversy surrounding how the organizational aspects of stressful and traumatic events differ from those of non-traumatic memories; most researchers agree that emotion is a central aspect of traumatic events. Many factors influence which moments from our past are remembered best, and the affect experienced during an event is an important contributor. “Flashbulb memories” which are events of emotional significance are more likely to be recalled vividly than mundane experiences, and neurobiological research has confirmed...

...The Tragedy of Death in Hawthorne’s “The Ambitious Guest” When writing “The Ambitious Guest” Nathaniel Hawthorne follows a complex course through characterization, an awful catastrophe, and an ironic ending to express sentiments about death and how it is seen by society. Hawthorne wants the reader to see that death occurs all the time, even when we do not know it. However this does not make it any less tragic, and in fact, may make it more so. In this short story, Hawthorne portrays a lonely mountain family who discovers the spirit of an ambitious traveler, and is then caught in a catastrophic landslide that destroys them all. He uses the family as a practical comparison for his message about death, and he uses the traveler to portray this message. The family’s story is a conceivable one, and one that actually did occur. However, this does not change the message of the story. The traveler is what brings out this message, which is obvious through the inquiry in the last paragraph, and it is this inquiry that brings final meaning to the characterization, and the appalling incident. Hawthorne opens his story by giving personality to both the family and the traveler so that the reader can relate to them and, eventually, begin to care for them. He writes that “[t]he faces of the father and mother had a sober gladness; the children laughed; the eldest daughter was the image of Happiness at seventeen; and the aged grandmother, […], was the image of Happiness grown old” (Hawthorne...
