...because of this. He had refused to read anything other than comic books and sports books as a kid because he did not want to be picked on for being a “bookworm” too. By the time Gerald reached college he hadn’t known what to major in and he defaulted to majoring in English. Even as an English major student, Gerald found it hard to read “serious” literature. He found it hard to relate, he “saw little that could resemble his experience”. An interest in reading had started sparked to form in Gerald after he had read “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”. He was intrigued to learn that there had been a disagreement over the true ending of the book. He was tasked with discussing the ending of the book with his classmates and there he found his confidence. Discussing books made Gerald go back, re-read books and discover things he hadn’t noticed before and to view his literature from different points of view. Gerald later on recalls that it was the “critical conversation” he needed, that held him back from fully accessing literary text. Leaving Gerald alone with just the literature wouldn’t allow him to get “deeper” or more into the text, instead its different interpretations and theories that allowed one to truly immerse themselves in literature. Response: Gerald’s story was one I found very interesting a relatable. As a younger student I often discarded the books I was assigned to read and instead was fascinated by comics. Similar to Gerald all that changed when in high school I...

...What does Literacy mean to Alexie? It all started out with a comic book; a superman comic book that opened up three year old Alexie’s eyes to success. Along with learning to read by himself by looking at comic books and trying to associate words with pictures came different struggles, his parent’s not being able to afford great books, spending his whole day trying to learn how to make the words become real to him, and of course the biggest struggle; his peers making fun of him for being smart. For Alexie to go through all of these struggles alone; learning to read and write must mean something more than just scanning through words on a page or writing the alphabet mixed up in different combinations, it must mean something much greater. The first thing that shows that Literacy means something more to Alexie is that it means being sufficiently educated with his writing and reading skills. Alexie’s wild adventure began with opening a comic book back when he was three years old. He had tried to associate the words and the pictures to try to teach him-self how to read. To this day, he cannot recall exactly what the comic book was, but he was indeed successful. After trying to read that comic book, Alexie wanted more, he didn’t want to learn how to read; in his mind, he had to. Alexie’s Father was an avid reader and I believe that Alexie got the idea to teach him-self to read because he wanted to be just like his father. The family was not rich; very far from it, but Alexie’s...

He illustrates his points, with precision, through the use of text and image. It is a very effective way of absorbing key methods. A guiding and consistent message McCloud gives is the idea that the artist must connect with their readers on a human level. On page 60, McCloud explains that humans love humans and love hearing stories about other humans and expresses the slightest hint will cause them to make up a story. He says, “Even the loosest scribble will suggest a figure, an emotion or a gesture” (McCloud, 2006) He expounds that it is easy to throw out a few lines and the reader will...

At the same age, he started to reading foreign language books and comic books , this phenomenon will never happen in my life. Maybe he was smart and arrogant, but without the atmoshere of his family and his pervenance spirit ,he won't became such a successful people. His father like reading books and brought them from the pawnshops and secondhand and the books were so many that were stacked in crazy piles in the bathroom, bedroom and living room. He use every moments to read books such as lunch time, in the car when his family traveled, in shopping malls and so on. He also have a goodness heart and must be very patriotic. Because he always worried about the future of the Indian children and visit schools and teach creative writing to them. what;s more, although the children refuse and resist him, he never give up to save their lives. I don' t really like the Indian thinking. They hate the smart Indian people and expected to be stupid. Like what he said in the book the Indian children were monosyllabic in front of the non-Indian teachers, but after come home they were talking about complicated stories and jokes at the dinner table. How could they do this ? To be smart is everyone want and they just want to be stupid.

McCloud Summer MW 24pm SelfCentered Humans must find meaning in what they see; they must see something of themselves in an object to be interested and they must have both to be moved by it. Whether the “it” is a car, everyday accessory or art we want to find a connection to ourselves in the object. McCloud says “We humans are a selfcentered race”(32) as he stands next to an electrical outlet; our brain automatically sees a face; we are programed from birth to identify faces, but why was it made that way? Why do design manufacturers make simple outlets look like faces? They could have chosen any other pattern and the function would not be hindered. Why is it we want to see ourselves in everyday objects?...

...Marvel Entertainment: Marvel Studios Amy J. Keller June 28, 2009 This case study focuses on the Marvel Studios franchise. Marvel Entertainment took a huge risk when it decided to stop licensing its’ characters to outside production companies and develop their own in-house productions via Marvel Studios. This study focuses on the history of Marvel Studios and what harm or benefit has come from the creation of Marvel Studios and the expansion into filmmaking. Biography/History Marvel Entertainment, Inc. is a prominent character-based entertainment company that is worldwide. The have a collection of 5,000 characters that cover a 70-year company span and sever media types (comics, toys, movies, et cetera). “Marvel’s strategy is to leverage its franchises in a growing array of opportunities around the world, including feature films, consumer products, toys, video games, animated television, direct-to-DVD and online” (Viacom). Marvel Studios mission is to “develop and manage entertainment projects that leverage Marvel’s vast universe of creative content” (Marvel.com). Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Marvel had licensed out a number of their characters for movies and direct-to-TV productions. Very few of these are remembered today. One that you might recall is Howard the Duck; it didn’t do so well in the box office. The reasoning behind such failures was the lack of research the company put into it’s licensing (Stax).

Another purpose is believing that Durga was an ancestral and town goddess is the relation with fruitfulness within her devotion, ritual, and in a few traditions. The relationship among fertility and combat images has led Narenda Bhattacharyya to end the myths of many combats with evil spirits. Durga has nature legends as the goddess of plants overcomes the evil spirits symbolizing water shortage. The discovery of Durga with vegetation and fertility is the significance of brutal forfeit and the reward of her devotees’ blood. Durga is plainly associated to a greatly ancient belief than her Brahmanical beginning myths would show. She was once a town goddess who became well-known in the medieval times. Durga’s position in killing a formerly unbeatable evil spirit celebrates the triumph of good versus evil. Durga is the mainly significant feature of the Mahadevi in this passage that .

...But, in class, I was hit by an inspiring sentence: nothing can surpass light except our mind since it is our mind that enables us to look back and foresee our future. These memorable words deepened my understanding of the power of mind. Looking back, we may encounter extreme fears, something we don’t want to bring up, and hope to be forever hidden. We may be trapped in adverse situations, where we are helpless and confused in face of the incomprehensible nature. But just as Einstein said, the only incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible. The short-lived biped on a two-bit planet can still move forward and make miracles, because the power of mind, which exceeds any speed in universe, can bring us faith and spirit. Eventually, this power could surpass our fears, and destroy all the negative conditions. This reminds me of the stories of some great minds, such as Steve Jobs, the legendary former CEO of Apple. When Steve had just released his first creation—the Macintosh, he got fired from Apple, the company he started. Very publicly out at that time, he lost the focus of his entire adult life. He really did not know what to do for a few months and even thought about running away from the valley, erasing all the failure experiences. However, thinking of the past, he found that he still loved what he did. “Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.” Steve said. It is this faith in his mind that helped him defeat all the painful...

...sharpen, his request for the death of Claudius, which seems to have been blunted, or dulled, by Hamlet’s actions. Hamlets purpose has been blunted throughout the play in many ways, and he fails to quickly take action for avenging the death of his father. Hamlet is not sure whether he believes the story of King Hamlet’s murder, one of the reasons for Hamlet’s inaction. Hamlet thinks that, “The spirit that [he] have seen may be a and the hath power T’ assume a pleasing shape…” (II. 627-629). Hamlet thinks that an evil spirit may have taken the ghostly form of his late King and father and this causes him to have second thoughts on what this ghost has commanded him to do to Claudius. He thinks that there is a chance that Claudius may not have murdered his father, and that the ghost may just be trying take advantage of the situation to have Claudius murdered. He believes that, “Out of [Hamlet’s] weakness and [Hamlet’s] melancholy, As [the ghost] is very potent with such spirits, abuses to damn me” (II. 630-632). In his mind, Hamlet is thinking that his may just be a trick by an evil spirit to damn him to hell when he dies. This all causes Hamlet to delay his purpose when he...

...Are Angels Real? Read This Story and Decide for Yourself An Angelic Encounter This is a personal story that happened to me. Some people read this and say that they believe I was visited by angels. Others say it is bogus. Read it and tell me what you think. The verse that corresponds to this first story is: Hebrews 13:2 - Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. I believe I encountered angels one day while on a bicycle ride. I'm not sure if God was testing me as the above scripture makes clear, but I am sure the meeting with these angels was not of this humanly world. I ride a road bicycle quite a lot. I used live out of town so my rides either headed back into town or way out toward the middle of nowhere on the highway headed to the next town. The highways of New Mexico are usually sparsely traveled. On this particular day, I was battling a headwind and it was a bit of struggle. I couldn't wait until I got out around 10 miles because the 10 miles home would be fast with the wind on my back. About 3 miles from home, I came up to the top of a small hill and noticed a white mini-van about 100 feet down the other side of the hill. As I approached it, I noticed that the young man standing next to the van had taken a badly deteriorated flat tire off the van and had his spare laying next to it. There were rubber and steel belts all over the place as the blow out appeared to be sudden and dangerous. I stopped...

...I. Introduction: During the play Hamlet, many elements are brought forth. The three components that stand out the most are conflict, symbolism and theme. Arising dilemmas that are developed both inward and outward in the mind of Hamlet. This brings to surface different conflicts which Hamlet and other characters must face. When the ghost appears to Hamlet the symbolism is made aware, because it invites speculation to the readers mind along with numerous issues. The theme is setup with Hamlet being obsessed over who and why someone killed his father, which seems to cause revenge to take its place in this tragedy. In addition, Hamlet searches for perfect certainty so that the right person receives his revenge for his father’s death. II. During Hamlet the conflicts that stand out are both inward and outward. A. man vs. self B. man vs. man C. man vs. society 1. “To be or not to be”- Hamlet’s internal struggle throughout the story; Ophelia’s madness 2. Father vs. Son, Ophelia vs. Hamlet 3.
