...ENG 1010 April 21, 2013 1. In the story Hard Choice the character of Sarty appears to be struggling with pleasing his father. The problems lies that Sarty knowing his father way of thinking is not the best and noble way of doing things. Sarty struggling with the issue of he knows that by getting revenge is not necessary the right to do. I think what makes this story more effective is the fact that Sarty went with his right mind and choose not to stay in that type of up brining because he knows what will become of his life. These are choices that in someone shape or form a lot of individuals deal with similar situations with their families and having to decide what they know is right and making the choice to do the right thing or wrong thing. 2. One of the weaknesses of Hard Choices in my opinion is the story telling how these three individuals are struggling of entering adulthood but what are their flaws that they are hiding. Does not tell how they handle situations under pressure. The story was engaging enough. 3. I would like the story of Hard Choices go into a lot more background information about the three individuals and their family lives. 4. What makes the Initiation into Adulthood so strong because the story deals with children growing into adulthood and learning how to make their own decisions and views on adulthood and forming there on identity into society and standing up to what he or she believes. “ At an early age...

...Reaction Paper to "The Death of a Salesman" ENG/125 October 19, 2015 Reaction Paper to "The Death of a Salesman" In Arthur Miller’s Play Death of a Salesman, the play recollects the last 24 hours of the Loman’s family life and the events leading up to the death of Willy Loman. The title of the play is symbolic to the unraveling of the picture perfect family imagine that Willy created to everyone around him. The title is also symbolic to Willy losing his career as a salesman. Arthur Miller was very clever with his themes by using flashbacks throughout the play. He used four major themes according to SparkNotes Editors. (2002). Appearance vs. reality, the individual vs. society, the individual vs. himself, and the perception of the American Dream. Willy has been a salesman all his life. He has brought his sales experience into his personal life. He was selling the idea that his marriage and family life are perfect. His sons Biff and Happy are not what Willy had imagined or made them out to be. He wanted them to be successful business men just like him; however they are not. Willy has sold his lies for so long about his happy family that he can’t even remember what the truth is or doesn’t choose to remember. Willy is a man of many mistakes and doesn’t take accountability for the mistakes that he has made and often twists the truth to make himself the victim. I think Willy is a very relatable character. He by all means is not perfect and only wants the American Dream...

...Miguel A. Lemus Eng. 160 Spring 1/27/14 Crossing the Other Side One Friday evening my mother lit some Virgin Mary glass candles and placed them across the counter of our kitchen. My little brother, Andres, stood there wondering why my mother placing candles around our home. “Mommy, why are you burning candles when it is not even Christmas yet?” Andres asked. We usually lit candles on Christmas or the day of our Virgin Mary birthday because is traditional to Mexican families. Without making the conversation complicated to Andres, who was seven at the time, my mother answered that my uncle Fernando is coming to the U.S. Of course Andres didn’t understand but he was happy anyway. I understood completely as I listened to both of them because my uncle does not have legal permission to come to the U.S. A few months have passed by and my family headed to St. Gall church on the south side of Chicago. We don’t attend church every Sunday regularly, but since the church recently have a new priest, we go often now. It is interesting because we use to have a priest –or as we like to call it father- named Alonso. With all due respect, Father Alonso was a great priest but his mass can make any person fall asleep within ten minutes. Now that we have a different priest, father Gary, he’s far more interesting because he’s passionate about the things he says to the people. Vice versa we love to listen to him that it seems like three...

...in Town Washington DC Temple, the only peaceful and beautiful building I know! This is perhaps the most pleasurable paper and research I have done. I love the Temple and I went every weekend when I was in Alexandria Virginia. It took me 45 minutes to get there if there were no traffic, and about 1 hour and 30 minutes when there were congestion and accident. It has been a while since my last visits, and that was on my son’s wedding in August. When I moved here in Pennsylvania, I visited only every month, because of my job and the distance I have to travel. Washington DC Temple is in Kensington, Maryland and it takes 2 hours [one way] from Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania to get there. When I have a chance to go, I sometimes invited some members of the church and invited my son if he is available to accompany me. I must plan and prepare going to the temple because it is a long drive. I avoided stopping for any reason so I can to get there punctually and faster. I bring snacks and plenty of drinks as a precaution because most of the time there is traffic and sometimes accident. When this happens, I am stuck longer on the road and it is best to have something to eat and drink in case of emergency. I am always excited to see and visit the Temple. Anyone who will see the Temple from the Capital Beltway [north of Washington D.C.] would wonder about the white lit gloriously building. They always expressed their appreciation on how beautiful it is, but they did not know what it was...

...Peer Learning: An Innovative Classroom Strategy (Exclusively for Language Acquisition) X. AKSHAY JOSEPH DYLON II M. A. Eng Lit St. Joseph’s College (Autonomous) Trichy – 620 002 Email ID: akshayjosephdylon@gmail.com Mob: 91 5241 52462 ABSTRACT A tension (about the subject and the fear towards the teachers) free teaching/learning process is possible with the peer learning methodology. This paper argues that the importance given for peer learning pedagogy in the curriculum could be mounted up a little more, in particular for language learning, for a better outcome. In addition, the practices in the method, because of which it proved to be efficient when compared to the other methodologies, is also discussed in this paper. The importance of ‘Teacher’s Silence’ and the outcome of it are highlighted. The Affective Filter Hypothesis of Krashen appears to be in line with the Peer Learning Pedagogy. Suggesting some activities related to language teaching, this paper further requests the syllabus setters and the educationists to promote this approach among teachers through further more research in methods and activities to inculcate this technique among the learners, to help them learn the language doubt-free and acquire it to the fullest. An old appeal towards teaching pedagogy, but still an unpopular approach would be Peer Learning. According to Boud, Peer Learning essentially refers to students learning with and from each other as fellow learners without any implied...

...Thomas Annunziato Professor Eglevsky Eng. 101 12 March 2013 Space Exploration And Everyday Life The United States is in debt, about 14 trillion bucks out of the game.(whitehouse.gov) And we have about 12 million individuals out of work.(BLS) So what are we doing about it? Here in the good ole U.S. of A. we have this thing called the sequester which is set up to limit the federal budget, you know to put a cap on things makes sense right? But doesn't the government fund programs that keeps its citizens employed? The answer is yes that's the whole point of stimulus programs and in some way or another government's whole budget. So when the government gets together and looks at what to cut for the sequester they seem to weigh what seems to be important to the people and what's not important. The disturbing result is the lack of funding and respect space programs get. I know, I know the "fact" that the moon is mad of cheese is good enough for a lot of people and seems to satisfy the masses but I have news for you NASA and the drive of space exploration has given the people of the world more than just the real truth of what the moon is made of. A 1999 Gallup poll found that 18 percent of American adults believed that the sun revolved around earth with 3 percent unsure.(Andrews). Not only that according to a 2004 Science Foundation study 32 percent of adults thought that astrology was either "sort of scientific" or "very scientific".(Andrews). How...

...Nolan Barraza Mrs. Avner Eng 100 November 29, 2012 The Possibilities What could the United States do with an extra 7.7 billion dollars? How could the nation get this much money in one year? The legalization of marijuana would bring such profit. Replacing “marijuana prohibition with a system of legal regulation would save approximately $7.7 billion in government expenditures of prohibition enforcement --$2.4billion at the federal level and $5.3 billion at the state and local level.” (Miron). The money generated from this could be used for so many needs of the nation. For example, one immediate use would be to help restore the foundation of bridges and roads. The United States economy is currently suffering and the simple act of legalizing marijuana would help stimulate the economy. This act also will help struggling citizens with life threatening conditions reduce their suffering. There are numerous benefits to legalizing marijuana including eliminating a portion of the wasteful War on Drugs, stimulating the United States economy, and helping many patients relieve their pain. In order to truly understand the benefits of the legalization of marijuana, it must be discussed why it was made illegal in the first place. In 1914, the Harrison Act “represented the first time drug use had ever been defined as a crime” (Goodwin 42). This law set the precedent for twenty-seven states to make marijuana illegal. There states made marijuana illegal because they mistrusted the incoming...

Sandy's death toll was at least two. An elderly man was killed in Jamaica when he was crushed by a boulder that rolled onto his clapboard house, police reported. Earlier Wednesday, a woman in Haiti was swept away by a rushing river she was trying to cross, in some southern towns of Jamaica, a few crocodiles were caught in rushing flood waters carried them out of their homes in mangrove thickets, showing up districts where electricity was knocked out, local residents reported. One big croc took up temporary residence in a family's front yard in the city of Portmore. Wednesday evening the hurricane's eye had crossed Jamaica and emerged off its northern coast near the town of Port Antonio, meteorologists said, but rain and winds continued to pound the Caribbean island, and hurricane conditions were predicted to last well in the night. It was the first direct hit by the eye of a hurricane in Jamaica since Hurricane Gilbert 24 years ago, and fearful authorities closed the island's international airports and police ordered 48-hour curfews in major towns to...
