...Does viewing films or shows affect how you form your individual identity? When viewing any film or shows in the manner in which we scrutinize the characters that are being portrayed has a definite effect on a person identity. Watching movies we identify ourselves with the character by asking question like what would I have done? E.T. had a profound effect on all of America when it presented us with the facts of an alien that was likable, lovable, and not harmful to anyone. This movie let us see a new light on how aliens should be viewed. It also showed us that scientist were cruel to the unknown. The government took E.T. crashing on earth as a sign that they were being invaded instead of it being just and accident and he needed to get home. When I watched the movie I learned that human beings a very skeptical on new and unexplored. Children have a different way of figuring it out they don’t judge by its outer appearance they judge by how they are treated by whoever it is. As we get older movies have a different meaning to us. I watched this movie once when I was eight and again when I was eighteen. When I was eight years old I was just like the little girl scared at first then as the story went on I realize that all he wanted was to go home. When watching it at eighteen it seemed so foreign to see how the adults were responding to this alien as if he was out to hurt them. This movie had helped me to form and identity with ignorance at its best. It also to form an identity with...

...Possibly even stereotype & judge you. Luckily it all depends on the type of social situation you are in. If you dress appropriately for the right occasion you’ll have nothing to worry about. Let’s use me for an example. I went job hunting for the first time when I was 16. I didn’t know any better. I went to different stores in the mall wearing a pair of ripped up jeans with my American Eagle striped polo shirt and my most favorite pair of black and white low top Chuck Taylors. I felt like I could conquer the world, or at least the mall. I went to the mall around 2pm and left around 5pm with no job applications. I didn’t understand it, every store I went into had a “Now Hiring” sign, but I kept getting turned down. Soon my “conquer the world” attitude disappeared as I took the bus back home. When I got home my grandma asked me how the job search went. When I told her what happened she sat me down and explain something to me that use to this day. “Even though you looked cute in your outfit; managers are looking for people who appear serious. When you walk into a store looking for a job, you’re supposed to walk in there like you already have it. They want people to look professional; It makes you appear more serious. So next time you go job hunting put on some slacks and a button up...

...Awad 1 Awad Abu Awad Prof Frias English 015 25 February 2016 Take Off a Tie Put On a Skill These days, finding a job can be an irritating process for new graduates due to life changes that has been made throughout the past years regarding businesses in several majors. It is terrifying to see how 23% of the college students spend 2-6 months searching for a job after their college graduation. After many days and nights of hard work, the dreams of sitting in a chair at a well-known company can turn into thoughts of regret written all over job advertisements in the Tuesday newspaper in a basement. Job hunting can only be as difficult as it seems when recent graduation takes role in the lack of experience, credit points become a daily issue due to the lack of finance management and unemployment becomes a main fear of a job searcher. Changes are made every year, new graduates should be taught to deal with these changes to be fully prepared for what the future awaits. Degrees are meaningless as years of practice and experience become one of the top requirements for an interview of a certain field. Nowadays, many companies’ top priority is success. One of the reasons behind failure in a business is not the idea of repeated mistakes, but the lack of experience. This is the reason behind marking degrees as a meaningless tool and instead accepting skills and years of experience as predators of success....

...perceive one another. The general principle is that initial information tends to carry more weight than information received later. First impressions establish the mental framework within which a person is viewed, and information acquired later is often ignored or reinterpreted to coincide with this framework. The First Few Seconds When two people meet, their potential for building a relationship can be affected by many factors. Within a few moments, one person or the other may feel threatened, offended or bored. Assumptions versus Facts The impressions you form of another person during the initial contact is made up both assumptions and facts. Most people tend rely more heavily on assumption during the initial meeting. If job applicants sit slumped in the chair, head bowed and shoulder slack, you might assume the person is not very interested in the position. If the postal clerk fails to make eye contact during the transaction and does not express appreciation for your purchase, you may...

...conflict in her thoughts and feeling about hunting? The writer uses her personal experience to describe the feeling and thoughts in a harsh environment vividly. In the third paragraph, the writer writes a few sentences to show that ‘an essential contributor to the survival of the hunters in High Arctic’. It can be obviously seen that catching the narwhals to eat is necessary, as the people need to survive on them. The author uses some technical language such as ‘vitaminC’ and ‘scurvy’ to implie that this is the only source of food, energy, tools and money in the High Arctic, which shows her sympathy to the hunters as hunting for Narwale is the only job they can do. The area in the High Arctic is not suitable for growing other vegetables. Narwhals has a rich source of useful nutrition, so Inuit people catch the narwhal as a main source of food. Also, the Narwhal’s ivory can be used for many things such as ‘harpoon tips’, ‘hunting implements’ and ‘central beam for their small ancient dwellings’. These fully describe that Inuit people can’t live without the Narwale, as it can help the Inuit people to survive. The writer’ feelings are explicit in the sixth paragraph, the hyperbole, such as ‘my heart leapt’ is used when the hunter was about to harpoon the narwhal. It shows how narwhal’s intriguing action is. The hunter has much courage to catpure the Narwale, which it is not a easy job at all and should not be looked down. Even...

... From the beautiful tall oaks, to the large pine trees and their needles covering the spongy forest floor. There are beautiful green ferns, leafy vegetation, thickets and rock cliffs. There are so many wonderful things to see and hear in this forest, which provide a natural home and shelter for many animals to live. My experiences and memories of the forest and hunting have lead me to have mixed feelings about hunting which will be examined in the following paragraphs. Omnivore’s Dilema has brought back memories from home, and yes that is the back woods where I grew up. In many ways, it is quite easy for me to relate to the chapters written about hunting by Mr. Pollan. Hunting is something my father and my brothers enjoyed doing together. It wasn’t as much as a sport to them it was a necessity. Actually it was our meat source for our daily meals. There were lots of different game to hunt; deer, rabbit, squirrels and turkey to name a few. Fishing in the streams was usually plentiful netting us big fish and turtles. Ortega Y. Gasset, the Spanish philosopher, who writes in his Meditations on Hunting, “One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have PERSONAL: THE FOREST...

...laughing, then he said, “Son just because y'all talk with sowthern accent it don't make y'all ayy redneck.” Bill explained the characteristic of a true redneck to Josh. He said, that a true redneck is classified by his or her hobby and his or her dressing style. A true redneck only has one hobby, and that is hunting. A true redneck will go into the woods at 4:00 AM in the morning to hunt. A true redneck will wake up before sun rise and go outside into the foggy and misty woods and look for some type of animal to hunt. A true redneck will repeat his daily routine, no matter the condition. For example, one time Bill was going hunting at 4:00 AM and it was rain with big gusty wind. Josh said, “dad, y'all mighty a-goin' hunting in this here weathuurr” then Bill replied “Son ayy true redneck don’t care about naw weathuurr.” The commitment of Bill shows that; a true redneck will never give up his hobby of hunting, no matter the condition of the weather....

...Hunting is a major sport around the world in many different cultures and countries. When hunting first came about it was to feed your family. Then when railroads started to develop “hunters” were killing bison and other animals because they were in the way of the train. When the train would go down the track and bison were in the way the train would stop and “hunter” would jump out and just unload their guns on the animals. That is not hunting; hunters today are trained to kill animals ethically and are conservationists who assist in managing the population of wildlife to prevent overpopulation; they keep the deer population manageable and they provide food for the hunter. One role of a hunter is to limit the amount of animals in one habitat....

...Dangerous Game” by Richard Edward Connell, is a suspenseful story full of conflict and strategy. The details and events in the story are written in a way that express stereotyping and discrimination. Although the author is extremely biased throughout the story, it is considered his best piece of literature. This story is about a world renowned hunter, Sanger Rainsford, who is sailing to Brazil to hunt jaguars. As his ship passes Ship Trap Island, he accidently falls overboard and manages to swims ashore. There he discovers a mansion occupied by a Russian Cossack General Zaroff and his deaf mute servant Ivan. The General, an excellent hunter himself, has become bored of hunting animals so he lures ships to his island and captures and hunts the sailors for his entertainment. When Rainsford refuses to join in hunting other humans, he becomes one of the hunted. He is given three days to try to elude capture from the General, Ivan, and his hounds. After the three days have passed and he has outsmarted the General and avoided being captured, the general honors him and presumably lets him go. First, the author discreetly displays his prejudice views, by establishing the main characters as white men, wealthy, fit, and healthy. This subtly discriminates against anyone not white, wealthy, or able-bodied. Next he sets both evil characters, Ivan and General Zaroff, as Russians, the author speaks this out when after Rainsford asks the General of Ivan’s nationality he responds, "He is a Cossack...

...| The Omnivore Review | A review on Michael Pollans “The Omnivore dilemma” | | Cody Windsor Harrington | DeVry University | The Omnivore Review As agriculture technology continues to advance in the new world most of us have lost our pre historic skills of basic survival when it comes to hunting and gathering. America’s agriculture logistics are so well developed that most Americans relay on this system to stay alive. A small portion of people out there still remain intact with their pre historic agriculture skills. That is what Author Michael Pollan writes about In Part 3, Chapters 15, 16, and 17 of The Omnivore’s Dilemma. Michael Pollan talks about looking for different foods, the ethics of hunting animals and harvesting the meat as well as giving a brief look into what brought about the paradox of The Omnivore’s Dilemma. Chapters 15, 16, and 17 bring up a lot of good points about foraging and hunting. Pollan provides in depth detail and research on the topics. The difficult part is staying focused on the story the author is illustrating. Pollan tends to bounce around on different topics and drags out details making it difficult to keep the reader entertained. Chapter 15 of Omnivore's Dilemma discusses how Pollan is preparing to make a meal from all of the foraging groups. Fruits, vegetables, fungi, and meat were the components that made up this meal. His goal was to find and gather enough from each group to make his first meal from nature. Pollan discusses...

...Summary Ashurbanipal Hunting lions The Ashurbanipal hunting lion is a 5’4 relief from circa 645-640 B.C.E. It was created for the Assyrian ruler of the Elamite Susua for his palace in Nineveh, Iraq. The Assyrians artists Portrayed archers pursuing enemies as well as royal hunts in and enclosed arena, just like the One depicted in the hunting lion’s relief. Hunting of the lions was a sport reserved for kings. These hunts were symbolic of the ruling monarch’s duty to protect and fight for his people. The kings would often go lion hunting for political and religious purposes. If they were good at Hunting the Gods would favor them. The kings are often portrayed on the plains of Syria but there were no lions so, they had to ship them from Africa. To get a lion out of his cage a servant would lift the gate and start running. The hunting lions would then see the king and the servant and he would the charge them. The king would then ride his chariot with his bow and arrow or spear. In some of the figures I notice that he carries an empty bow, I determined that all the lions were wounded that lie about beneath and past the moving chariot and have been hit by Ashurbipal’s bow. Most hunts by everyday men usually take place in the wild, land of unpredictable outcomes And unknown beasts but a royal hunt would be contained. Containment would allow a controlled environment to ensure the kings safety and success. While hunting the companions would make the...

...Crack, the smell of sulfur fills the area around the hunters. The dull thud of the ring-necked pheasant colliding with the ground. The crunch of the leaves under the Hungarian pointers swift feet. The young John James Audubon runs to the dogs where the large cock that lays in the leafs. He admires the gorgeous crest of the pheasant with its scarlet mask. He gazes upon the plumage with black spots sown upon the golden feathers. The boy’s father walks towards the fallen bird to see the pheasant that had been shot. Audubon picks up the fallen bird and puts the bird in his field bag and the hunting continues. By the end of the long day, the hunting party has collected thirteen birds and one raccoon. The hunting party returns to the family home in the French countryside. Audubon brings the pheasant that he killed to his room and takes a sketch pad out of his desk and began to draw the pheasant. Audubon’s father gazes at the drawing and admires the artistic skill of his son. After that day Audubon was sent to the best art school in France to become an artist. This experience changed the rest of his life. John James Audubon's field guides are important to us because they became the main source of knowledge on American wildlife of the nineteenth century, Audubon's books made getting information on...

...Out in the woods. We could be our selves again” (Collins 36). This proves that to Gale hunting is a common hobby and that he does it regularly. We can infer that it has been awhile from when he has gotten to hunt for fun. This also proves that with out hunting neither one of them are themselves and that they right now it feels weird with out it. Furthermore, Beetee made a specialized bow for Gale. Beetee’s weapons are some of the most high-tech weapons in Panam. To get to Beetee’s lab both Gale and Katniss had to go through numerous security precautions. The fact that Gale is qualified enough for a weapon of Beetee’s parameters clearly proves that he is a good hunter. When Beetee is talking with Gale he said, “You’ll be issued a gun eventually for battle, of course” (Collins 68). We can infer from this that Gale is such a good hunter and soldier that he will obviously be getting a gun for battle. Beetee meant that...
