...Pathfinder Induction Program DIRECTOR: I hereby declare this Induction Ceremony of the _____________________ Pathfinder Club now in session. All lights out!! DIRECTOR: For the light for our program we turn to the Spirit of Pathfindering. The candle which I now light represents this spirit. It is the spirit of adventure, fun, learning, camaraderie, awareness, and awakening, and above all, a spirit of reverence and a Spirit of Service to God and man.

The brave and courageous Tristan, as well as the friends he meets along the way, travel beyond the wall of ordinary world to a land beyond the guarded wall. This story line is guided by Joseph Campbell’s study of the Monomyth Theory, the claim that nearly all myths have an abundance of similarities and the hero's journey are almost identical. The typical hero’s journey starts out in the world of the common day and his/her call to adventure. This is according to the Monomyth Theory. Trisan lives with his dad in London England. He...

...Erika Kansas Harvey Com 484 Final Discussion Prep The Code of Respect in The Joy Luck Club A cultural code of communication is “a socially constructed and historically transmitted system of symbols, meanings, premises, and rules pertaining to communicative conduct” (Lecture #2, 10/1). We can find these codes in speech communities everywhere. A speech community is “a community sharing the rules for the conduct and interpretation of speech, and rules for the interpretation of at least one linguistic variety” (Lecture #3, 10/3). There are many different ways to interpret these codes depending on the speech community you belong to. For example, the Code of Dignity could be very different in one speech community or culture to the next. These codes are found in many places including our movies, books, and daily lives. In the book The Joy Luck Club there are several different codes of communication, one of which is the Code of Respect. The Joy Luck Club is a book that shows the connections between four friends and their daughters. The main characters in this book are predominantly Chinese, which is a culture that is known for its devotion to respectfulness. Respect is displayed in a variety of ways and to a variety of objects. They pay respect to their elders, their parents, their traditions, and their superstitions among many other things. When Lindo Jong is getting married to the husband that she was arranged to marry, she has to show an incredible amount of...

Analysis of data/ Discussion ……………………………………………………….5 Conclusion …………………………………………………………………………………..6 Recommendation ……………………………………………………………………………7 Bibliography ………………………………………………………………………………...8 IV ABSTRACT In this day, floor polishes are mostly made from synthetic materials, which could be too expensive for a lot of people. This project involves making a cheap alternative to commercially available floor polishes through the use of banana peels, kerosene, paraffin and polyethylene wax crystals. Instead of just throwing banana peels away, the researchers have decided to put them to good use by making floor polish out of them. This project highlights that floor polishes made from banana peels are cheaper than, yet as effective as those available commercially. We used candles because a candle contains paraffin and polyethylene wax which will give us a glossy finish. Next, we used kerosene which will give us consistency we needed for the floor wax. Lastly, we used banana peels because it is naturally slippery and that...

...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...

...the Alano Club in Agawam, MA I wasn’t sure how to feel or what to think. I wasn’t sure if the other people attending the meeting were going to be ok with me being there since I wasn’t an alcoholic. I thought that they would think I was going to judge them because of their current situations and or problems since I was not dealing with the same ones. When I entered the meeting there were two large tables with people sitting around them. The people attending the meeting noticed that I was a newcomer and introduced themselves. Everyone was so open and welcoming it made me want to go back again just because of how nice they were. I had told them that I was a student attending the open meeting for a class assignment so the chairperson gave me a pamphlet with his number on it just in case I needed to call for any questions....

Hell was in an unseen dimension and could only be accessed through the gate of hell guarded by the hellhound Cerberus the three headed hellhound, the father of all hellhounds. This gate was found in the heart of Mordor. He had stolen the blade right of the black belt of Lucifer himself. Lucifer had been in his human form however, in his true form the blade would have been massive. Although only his backup weapon , and nowhere near powerful as Uthanzark which was Lucifer's main hand sword. If Trent had taken his main sword Lucifer would also be chasing him. Fire scorches his boots as he runs along. Luckily his shoes are made from an ancient enchanted dwarven metal that allows him to be 100% fireproof. He sees the 8th division demon guard draw large scythes capable of cleaving him in half. As Trent nears the guard he pulls Razark from its black diamond sheath. The handle glows as he pulls out a grand soul gem to fill it. The soul screeches as it is forced into the reserves of the black and green diamond pommel. The powerful tomahawk is fully charged....

...You don't get over losing babies. It's always a wound that's raw just under the hardened surface. I spent months making myself get up, get dressed, and get out of the house whether I wanted to or not. I forced myself to go through the daily tasks of just living. I made myself go visit my newborn niece, who had arrived a week after I gave birth. I even made myself attend a baby shower for a close friend, and then a funeral for a cousin. I hated every minute of it. I didn't want to be anywhere, I only wanted to be home with my husband, with no one else around. I wasn't asking, “Why me? Why my babies?” I didn't blame myself or God, or anyone else, and I wasn't angry with anyone or anything; I just did not want to be around people. When my sister, whom I'm not close with and who was afraid I was mad at her because she'd just had my niece, asked me how I was feeling, all I could say was, “It is, what it is. It just happened, and I can't change it.” She got angry with me because I wasn't reacting the way she wanted me to; apparently I was being too “Zen” for her taste. Part of...

...in some ways they are polar opposites. The religion I chose to do an interview with a member of is Catholicism I did my interview at “Our Lady of Fatima Church” in Alcoa, Tennessee. The church itself is very beautiful. The location of the church is ideal to people in Alcoa and Maryville Tennessee. Inside the church they have their own baptismal pool. I believe that the church is one of the most beautiful churches I have seen. The church is a very large building with a fewer smaller buildings connected by a covered walkway. I have seen colleges smaller than the church. While inside the church I noticed that some preconceived ideas I had about the place were wrong. In most movies Catholic churches normally have an area with many candles, and in this church I did not see anything like that. Signs were posted around asking for people to keep their voices down. They also have rooms for a nursery, music class, and a few others that I did not see names for. The room I liked the most was the room I believe...
