...Before checking this book out from the library I had no idea what it was about, after reading the short summary on the back of the book and finding out a film was also created to mimic this story I was immediately intrigued . The story was narrated through the main character Lily, a young teenage girl who wanted nothing more than to seek out information regarding her diseased mother whom she has restricted memories and who desperately desires to know what love and true happiness consists of. Lily narrates the novel in the first-person, describing the events she experiences from her unique perspective and retelling the stories others tell her in the same manner. Lily narrates the story and presents an attitude that maybe considered that similar to the tone a child when sharing personal information that have written in a diary, except with less self-loathing and more passionate feelings. Lily’s father who shows evidence of not only being a bigot but who is uncompassionate and callous which makes it more than difficult for her to grow up as normal girl, as he treats his own daughter as an inconvenience. Growing up Lily was limited to the girly activities she was permitted to do I assume she may have a tad of an immature superego due to this, according to I reference this as I believe her moral development is inadequate. However, she is still in her adolescent stages and has plenty of more life ahead of her to enhance to her current development. This story takes place in nineteen...

You pull them out and discover that they are pages from a communication security book and marked “SECRET.” You attach a cover sheet to them and go into the security vault to talk to SSG Day. SSG Day checks the inventory and destruction certificates and discovers that SFC Sharp certified that the book these pages came from was destroyed two weeks ago. Both you and SSG Day search the vault and the outer office for any other pages, but you don’t find any.

...When Is It Acceptable to be Yourself? Have you ever felt alone? Just looking for something or somebody to be there for you when you need it most? What happens when nobody is there, forcing you to hold all of your feelings in? In “The Secret Society of Starving” by Mim Udovitch, young girls with severe eating disorders talk about the secret world of the online pro-anorexia (“pro-ana”) community, where they truly express themselves and sometimes even encourage each other’s problems. Likewise, in the essay “Can You Tell the Truth in a Small Town?”, writers struggle to put their true words down on paper, knowing the secrets they share could result in their excommunication from the only community they know, causing an even greater sense of being alone. Both “The Secret Society of Starving” and “Can You Tell the Truth in a Small Town?” shine a light on the different lifestyles of two separate societies and how they both hide who they really are from the rest of the world, causing a sense of growing isolation within the members of each group. The members of the communities from both essays hide their true feelings from the people closest to them, including their family and friends. From “The Secret Society of Starving”, members of the pro-ana community hide behind the internet and submerge themselves into a virtual world of chat rooms and blogs where they can (anonymously) state their true most personal feelings. On page 111 one pro-ana girl states, “they know exactly what I’m going...

...动物化与自然回归 ——对《百种神秘感觉》的生态解读 Animalization and Return to Nature An Ecological Reading of The Hundred Secret Senses By QIN Yuanyuan A Thesis Submitted to the School of English and International Studies Beijing Foreign Studies University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Chinese American Literature Course Supervised by Professor Pan Zhiming June 2014 Animalization and Return to Nature A Ecological Reading of The Hundred Secret Senses I Introduction Amy Tan, born in 1952, is acclaimed for her lyrically written tales of sensibility and conflicts in Chinese-American mother-daughter relationship, in which generational and cultural divergence is highlighted. Themes of loss and reconciliation, hope and failure, friendship and familial conflict, added with mystic oriental flavor and healing power, have made Tan’s writing emblematic and well-received. Following the publication of The Joy Luck Club (1989), The Kitchen God's Wife (1991), Amy Tan’s third novel The Hundred Secret Senses (1995) again enjoys a high popularity and evokes strong responses from both readers and critics. Despite the fact that The Hundred Secret Senses still exhibits Tan’s trademarks of “a strong sense of place, a many-layered narrative, family secrets, generational conflict, Chinese lore and history”, unlike the previous two that are generally praised, this novel gets mixed opinions. Most reviewers receive the...

...Nicholette Marbley November 1 2013 Professor Whetstone Essay 2 Using humorous figures for an anti-bullying campaign wont work because no one will take it seriously At one point in our lives we have had our disagreements with friends. It might have gone as far as getting kicked out of a group. Its not fun being left out. Any form of bullying is not fun. Bullying has been around for ages. As longs as its been around you would have thought there would be a cure for it. If no one likes mean people, why are people so mean? Do we only pretend not to like mean people? This problem has escalated over the years, and has become more prevalent with todays technology. An example of this is seen in the scene of the movie Carrie. Carrie was a religious girl who was sheltered from wordly things. She did not know what her period was. She was taking a shower in the schools locker room when it happned. She ran over to the other girls screaming and crying. They then began to throw tampons at her. The leader of the group then began to record it and put it on youtube. The video was labled Bloody Mary. This resulted in the girl being banned from prom. On prom night she swiched the ballots so it looked liked Carrie and another boy were king and queen. When Carrie took her position on stage they poured pigs blood on her from a bucket hanging above her. They then started to play the video. Carrie took out her embarrassment and anger through her telekinesis. She then killed most of...

...THE SECRET OF SUCCESS Be aware and apply the Seven (7) habits of effective people • Be Proactive Take initiative in life by realizing that your decisions (and how they align with life's principles) are the primary determining factor for effectiveness in your life. Take responsibility for your choices and the consequences that follow. Begin with the End in Mind Self-discover and clarify your deeply important character values and life goals. Envision the ideal characteristics for each of your various roles and relationships in life. Put First Things First A manager must manage his own person. Personally. And managers should implement activities that aim to reach the second habit. Covey says that rule two is the mental creation; rule three is the physical creation. Think Win-Win Genuinely strive for mutually beneficial solutions or agreements in your relationships. Value and respect people by understanding a "win" for all is ultimately a better long-term resolution than if only one person in the situation had got his way. Synergize Combine the strengths of people through positive teamwork, so as to achieve goals no one person could have done alone.

...LaTonia Moore English 21 May 8, 2012 There are times when I feel so smart and productive until I’m exhausted, dehydrated overextended, overwhelmed, or otherwise ready to snap. There are still days when my instinct is to push myself to the limits for reasons I may or may not fully understand in the moment. Even though my body, mind, and spirit can take so much, I try to learn from these days as I go. Since I haven’t yet discovered the secret formula for complete balance, I’ve come up with a few simple ways to give my self a break when I’ve been pushing myself too hard. Since I like to run, I go to the gym, or I participate in some type of aerobics. By staying motivated, I can pace my self and not take on too much at one time. I allow myself a little extra sleep when I’m off of work. In order for me to recharge my self, I take long hot baths. It’s awfully hard to stress and over-think when you’re engaged in something fun and expressive. Even if it takes just five minutes, I take time to meditate throughout the day. I surround myself with positive and supportive people. Everything that I have accomplished in my life makes me feel good because I know I have worked hard to get where I am today, and I am very proud of my achievements. I have learned many things about myself through feed back from my friends, peers, and co- workers. I keep my emotions under control and I listen to what is being said. I am always open for change and...

David Bartholomae, and Anthony Petrosky. Boston: Bedford/ St. Martin’s, 2011. 712-713.Print. Crystal Lee “The Effects of Parental Alienation on Children” Belanger 1 In Susan Griffin’s essay, “Our Secret,’’ she talks about her secrets and she gives detailed insights into her life and ones of those that suffered through the Holocaust. The three biggest parts that she talks about is her own feelings, secrets and fears, her own experiences, the life of Heinrich Himmler, Leo, Helene, and Chief of the Nazi SS. The way that she organized her essay was very confusing and it would jump around a lot so you never really understood how everything would come together in the end. Griffin’s says “The DNA molecule is made of long, fine paired stands. These strands are helically coiled” (Griffin 379). Griffin’s tells what happens to the nucleus, and how the inner-workings of the nucleus develop into a cell which gives rise to many cells, which will eventually become an embryo. So the cell is how someone was made with and your development can be affecting you as you growing up.

...steady effort to maintain a course of action, belief, or purpose in spite of difficulty. In order to persevere, pain and a lot of hard thinking will be needed. Perseverance basically means to continue doing something in spite of obstacles. Success in life doesn't come easily. When a kid learns to stand up and tries to walk, he is found to fall down again and again. And by nature and instinct, he gets up, and again tries to step forward, although again he falls down. But ultimately, he succeeds in walking. The same thing had once happened with each one of us, when we were children. A person who perseveres has self-confidence, determination, and hardworking, that person tries again and again, and finally has success. Perseverance is the secret of success. Without it, achievements are not possible. A person who is very intelligent, and good at school, but is lethargic by nature, and reluctant to diligence, can hardly prosper in life, because he does not know how to use his brain and labor in the right direction. In this world, all the great things have been made or constructed only by perseverance. Shakespeare did not compose such voluminous works just in a day. He had to work hard during days and nights with tremendous perseverance to create such great masterpieces. The modern scientists, too, carry on their experiments day and night for years together in order to attain success. If one looks at his own life, he can very well understand that whatever he has so far gained,...

...the soundtrack played a vital part in shaping the whole experience of the viewer. It’s not just the music. It’s the strategic use of silence. It is called the sound of silence The cinematography and editorial pacing of Children of Heaven takes advantage of the full range of cinematic story-telling techniques, Such as tracking shots, pans, a wide range of camera framings, camera reversals, and point-of-view shots – FEW POINTS WORTH HIGHLIGHTING IN THE MOVIE: 1. the narrow alley in which we see the children running most of the time, projects the economic state of the community and the director’s insight to enhance the proximity of the situation and also the realistic projection of how many hardships the faced to keep the secret: running in dirty uneven lanes, with gutters, children playing, crowd moving about. 2. A director’s decision on what camera movement for what shot? The decision is a combination of Director’s POV i.e. what he wants to communicate or what does he want the audience to focus on and the audience tendency of observing things i.e how best can he leave an impact on them. The camera angles used in the alley where the main subjects dwell are done in a sense as if to convey the crunch for space each time and to enhance the proximity of the situation. Contrast to that, the usage of the long shots during the scene of the uptown highways and bridges shown to convey the expanse and create the stark difference of the two parts of the city audience...
