...Hafsa Mazhar ERP: 11060 Class: 4188 Email: hafsa_mazhar@outlook.com Final Draft Once I was a lively spirit; now I am a depressed soul. Once I was like a free bird, soaring through the skies, with my wings spread wide. There were a thousand places I could go and a million things I could see. The world was my oyster. The freedom exhilarated me. Now I am like a caged bird, trapped behind bars, with clipped wings. My entire world is enclosed behind the four walls of my owner’s apartment, and the skyscrapers outside my window are the only things I see. The imprisonment distresses me. Once I was a daughter of the most amazing parents. Love, compassion, and respect were all I received from them. They did everything they could to make my life heaven on earth. Now I am the maid of the most heartless family. Car crash, deaths, and desolation, my parents left me alone in this cruel world to fight my own battles. I mourn for those blessed days and shed tears at my loss. Just a few hours turned my life into hell. Once I was happy, smiling, laughing, living my life to the fullest. I had everything I wanted or needed; a huge house, a gorgeous car, and cool friends. Every moment was worth cherishing. Now I am sad, depressed, weeping on the outside, and dying bit by bit inside. All the happiness I once had has been ripped away from me and every moment is spent wishing for...

...NEVER LOSE HOPE No one is perfect. That’s what I believe. Everyone has a weak point. That weakness might be in studies or any particular matter. If you are weak in something so, this isn’t the end of the world. If I talk about myself I was weak in English and I think I am still weak. But that wasn’t my fault. I belonged to an education system which is usually based on rot-learning. We just had to follow what our teacher taught us and there was no brain storming. Till matriculation, I had no idea how much I was weak in English but I started to realize it during my initial days of intermediate. Usually in intermediate notes are provided to the students and they can easily rot learn from that. But my English teacher was against of providing such kinds of notes to the students. She insisted to prepare study material by our own self which became very difficult for me because I had never written anything in my own words. When I was unable to write myself, I got tense. I was helpless but it is true that good teachers are angels. When I wrote my first answer, I knew that it was pathetic. My teacher after reviewing my first written draft sought out that I was really very weak in English writing. There were lot of mistakes in it. When I got my teacher’s reviewed paper, it was full of red circles. I was really discouraged. But my teacher made me realize that it was not my fault. It was the education system from where I belonged. She advised me and consoled me that I could do much better...

...Once I was ruled by the society, now I live my life own my own wish. I was always conscious about the comments passed by people. I almost killed my all dreams to save my image in society. I never enjoyed my life or did what I wanted. The mighty example of this is that I tried to become an engineer, although I wanted to become a sociologist. The society from which I belong thinks that only doctors and engineers have respect and only they can earn good; and earning a good amount can earn you the respect from society. And to earn that respect from society, I tried to become an engineer. I did my matriculation and intermediate in pre-engineering and suffered for four years. I was doing something which I don’t want to do. I was doing all this in society pressure and I tried hard but could never concentrate on studies as I was doing it halfheartedly. I even couldn’t sleep. Night after night, I’d lie awake at 2am. This time period taught me what it’s like to feel depressed, lost, and burned out. I used to live a colorless life, I never tried something new didn’t even discover my hidden talents. I tried hard to score good grades but I wasn’t able to. In those four years, I always felt that this is not what I wanted. Those four years were slowly, inch by inch, sucking the life out of me. After struggling that hard and still getting bad grade in all subjects, I decided not to continue this anymore. I was still being criticized. After all this, I understood that this society...

...Shah Ahmed Atta ERPID: 09306 Once I Was Embarrassed, Now I am Proud Character: Black Female in Pakistan Once I was embarrassed. I was embarrassed of the individual I was and the values that I symbolized merely because I stood apart. I had no awareness of self-respect. At the young age of eleven, I was in the phase of self-discovery. My skin complexion was too dark. My wavy brown hair didn’t have the flow of the other children. I didn’t fit in anywhere. It was depressing to feel like an outcast. Despite how innocent they may seem, eleven year olds can be cruel to one another. The children spurned me, unconscious of what they were doing. My ears rang with racially disrespectful phrases such as “You look like a Kawwa [Crow],” or “You’ve got the colors of a bat.” Their mirth provoked me long past school hours. I cried endlessly and declined to go to school each subsequent day. All of peers being lighter than me, I sought desperately for individuals that were like to me in appearance, I know, I was wrong but I realize that now. I relentlessly had to battle to be accepted in with different groups of people. I so desperately craved acknowledgment. But, no matter how hard I tried, my efforts were in vain. The other kids saw that I was unusual and shunned me for that exact reason. As I grew older the level of insult intensified. Vicious and harsher things were being said to me as the children became more conscious of my diversity. The situation, as much as I had desired that...

...The Theme of Identity Politics in “Paradise Now” and “Once Brothers” The two films I will be reflecting on is “Paradise Now” and “Once Brothers.” “Paradise Now” tells the story of two childhood friends from the West Bank who are recruited to participate in a suicide bombing in Tel Aviv which is one of Israel’s biggest cities. Whereas “Once Brothers” tells the story of Yugoslavian basketball players who played on the Yugoslavian national basketball team and eventually were recruited to play on different NBA teams in the United States. The common theme between the two films were the identity politics during the Arab-Israeli conflict and the former Yugoslavian conflict after the disintegation of the Soviet Union. The Arab- Israeli conflict...

...acceptable behavior—because hey, why not? YOLO! The carpe diem sentiment of “you only live once” has a long history predating its punchy acronymic clipping. Garson O’Toole, on his Quote Investigator blog, traces variations on the theme back to the 18th century, as in this line from Samuel Richardson’s novel “Clarissa”: “We live but once in this world; and when gone, are gone from it for ever.” The exact wording of “you only live once” begins cropping up in the late 19th century, and by 1937 it was popular enough to be used as the title of a Fritz Lang film noir. One wry elaboration, credited to the comedian Joe E. Lewis in 1952, is “You only live once, but if you work it right, once is enough.” Today’s young purveyors of YOLO do indeed appear to be trying to work it right, though what that means is up for debate. Eble’s students illustrate its typical use, as a carefree tag to explain an impulsive choice: “You want to park illegally in this spot? YOLO!” “Should I buy these shoes or pay rent? YOLO!” The word has also found favor as a verb, as in this Yelp review of a Jersey City pizzeria: “All the times I come home after a night of YOLO-ing, I crave a delish slice to soak up the booze and sober me up.” But as the term has circulated over the past several months, a YOLO backlash has set in. Jason Salcedo, a high school senior from Stuart, Fla., recently blogged that YOLO is now “used by teens only as an...

...David Santamaria Ms. Pasonelli AP English 7 November 2015 Light vs Darkness: The Irony within Heart of Darkness Through history there has always been a battle between good and evil, light and dark, the innocent and the guilty. Many times authors, spanning over a wide range of genres have embedded this battle into their stories. Joseph Conrad, did just that in his creation of Heart of Darkness. Amongst the deep jungles of the Congo River, Conrad places Marlow into a world where darkness dominates everyday life. Marlow throughout the story is seen to have pure intentions and can be seen as a symbol of light, whereas Kurtz who has been amongst the heart of the Congo for various years, can be seen as the embodiment of darkness. Now, the distinction of light and dark, good and evil, innocent and guilty, is not only represented between Marlow and Kurtz, but also by Kurtz’s intended and his mistress of the darkness from Africa. Conrad in the depiction of these characters uses irony to show that light is representative of ignorance and naivety whereas darkness is the embodiment of the truth and experience. To be naïve is to show lack of experience. This trait lies at the heart of every man and woman as well as boy and girl. Naivety goes hand in hand with ignorance and can often be seen as an embodiment of innocence as well as purity, which are representative of light. Marlow within Heart of Darkness, ultimately proves to be naïve as well as ignorant throughout various times...

...Vi people. Jake, one of the main characters in the movie, becomes more and more like them with every encounter with the alien race. The film, Avatar, depicts the differences between characters and their views on nature and the world. Most of the humans are portrayed as arrogant and selfish, showing no remorce or respect for the indigenous people or their environment. In contrast, the Na'Vi people love their mother planet, Pandora, and live in harmony with each other and all its creatures because they respect it. During the first couple of scenes in the movie, you can already get the feeling that money and greed drives the humans. Jake, the protagonist, was an exMarine that got wounded in combat and is now paralyzed and discovered that his twin brother has passed upon recovery. While attending the cremation ceremony he is approached by two employees of Resources Development Alliance (RDA). They explain to Jake that his brother was a part of the scientific group working with the miners on Pandora. The two RDA workers refer to Jake's brother as a...

...Arctic Mining Consultants (Case Study) Tom Parker enjoyed working outdoors. At various times in the past, he worked as a ranch hand, high steel rigger, headstone installer, prospector, and geological field technician. Now 43, Parker is a geological field technician and field coordinator with Arctic Mining Consultants. He has specialized knowledge and experience in all nontechnical aspects of mineral exploration, including claim staking, line cutting and grid installation, soil sampling, prospecting, and trenching. He is responsible for hiring, training, and supervising field assistants for all of Arctic Mining Consultants' programs. Field assistants are paid a fairly low daily wage (no matter how long they work, which may be up to 12 hours or more) but are provided meals and accommodation. Many of the programs are operated by a project manager who reports to Parker. Parker sometimes acts as a project manager , as he did on a job that involved staking 15 claims near Eagle Lake, Alaska. He selected John Talbot, Greg Boyce, and Brian Millar, all of whom had previously worked with Parker, as the field assistants. To stake a claim, the project team marks a line with flagging tape and blazes along the perimeter of the claim, cutting a claim post every 500 yards (called a length). The 15 claims would require almost 60 miles of line in total. Parker had budgeted seven days (plus mobilization and demobilization) to complete the job. This meant that each of the four stakers (Parker, Talbot...

...Heart of Darkness There are many themes that run through the novel Heart of Darkness. There are however two main and significant ones. These are the theme of restraint and man's journey into self. The importance of restraint is stressed throughout Heart of Darkness. In the novel Marlow is saved by restraint, while Kurtz is doomed by his lack of it. Marlow felt different about Africa before he went, because the colonization of the Congo had "an idea at the back of it." Despite an uneasiness, he assumed that restraint would operate there. He soon reaches the Company station and receives his first shock, everything there seems meaningless. He sees no evidence here of that "devotion to efficiency" that makes the idea work. In the middle of this, Marlow meets a "miracle". The chief accountant has the restraint that it takes to get the job done. He keeps up his appearance and his books are in "apple-pie order." Marlow respects this fellow because he has a backbone. "The cannibals some of those ignorant millions, are almost totally characterized by restraint." They outnumber the whites "thirty to five" and could easily fill their starving bellies. Marlow "would have as soon expected restraint from a hyena prowling amongst the corpses of a battlefield." The cannibal’s action is "one of those human secrets that baffle probability." This helps Marlow keep his restraint, for if the natives can possess this quality Marlow feels he certainly can. Kurtz is...

...Do you know who you are? Seems like a crazy question, but it is real. You are my greatest gift from God. You are not only my greatest gift; you are apart of God's greatest creation. This is a stressful time for you. Your body is going through so many unfamiliar changes. These changes are probably super uncomfortable for you. These changes are called puberty. Believe it or not, mom went through these same feelings that you are going through right now. Looks like you will be putting on a bra pretty soon. If you have not already, expect to feel some tenderness around your chest and nipple area. Do not panic! You do not have breast cancer. You will have boobs soon. This is just the beginning of you blossoming into a beautiful young lady. The sensitivity in that area will go away. Also, get ready to wake up one of thes mornings to have grown more inches than you ever have in your life. "Puberty" brings forth the fastest increases in your growing since you were a baby. (70, Santrock) Both of your grandmothers and I reached a height of about 5'5, 5'6. You will more than likely reach these heights too, due to heredity. You will gain a few pounds to go along with those new inches. This is not a bad thing. This is a great reason to go shopping! Shopping for new bra's, shirts, pants and panties. Yes, new panties are going to be needed also. When there are changes up there, there will also be changes down there too. These changes are very natural. Embarrassing, but natural. Everyone goes...

...civilization full of corruption and evil. Conrad’s first description of Brussels is an example of this. “In a very few hours I arrived at a city that always made me think of a white sepulcher.” It is significant that Conrad describes the building as a white coffin, because the job there is sending men out to retrieve ivory, ultimately resulting in their death. This cycle of evil begins and ends in this town. Describing the town as white is misleading, because the town holds an obvious feeling of death. Conrad makes it clear that this is a deception that the darkness of the jungle does not contain. When Marlow approaches dying slaves in the darkness of the jungle, he states: “They were not enemies, they were not criminals, they were nothing earthly now, - nothing but black shadows of...
