...short narratives entitled “A Worn Path” and “Used to Live Here Once” all have the same theme but when read together by different people and asked what do they think of the stories, they might give different descriptions. These stories and poem deal with one thing which is the main character’s journey towards the unknown and how the main character made decisions that will change the course their lives forever and their loved ones. The stories are presented in different ways. For Robert Frost, he presented his poem’s main character through a first person narration and showed a plot of a man going on a journey. The story of the woman on the “Worn Path” on the other hand was being narrated on a third person basis with the woman as the narrator and at the same time the main character. The loneliness of the woman is apparent on this tory because the woman even talked to animals while walking alone and readers...

...most powerful woman in business. 30-year IBM veteran Virginia Rometty who was tapped as CEO and becoming the first woman ever to lead the century-old tech giant with more than $100 billion in revenues is ranked at No. 4. Former eBay Chief Meg Whitman was ranked in No.6. We can see that women are sometimes more capable in a business world. However, a recent report in Turkey shows that women quite their job after they went into a marriage. Maybe because of they can’t take the balance between their job and take care of their family. This problem would become more obvious when they have children. Children need good care and full attention from parents to ensure that there are in the right path. Parents play an important role in educates their children to behave in proper. Many cases on media show the impact of both working parents that took too less care on their children. So women are being encouraged to be a homemaker in such case. There are many different arguments about a woman’s role, whether to work or just be a homemaker. It’s just like what I’ve mentioned earlier, women now are seek more achievement and successful in the career. In the past, women are not allow to get any education and must not successful than a man. However it is 20th century, a new technology advance era and women should not tied by this old bondage.

...always look like know what they want to buy and need then pick only that item up. Ladies can take hours to getting one item, while men can get three items in 10 minutes or maybe less. Women spend more money than men because women want everything that they see. Men and women are really different in shopping concept. First, women are hesitant when shopping but men are not. A woman goes into a store with every plan on getting one item. When a woman sees all lovely things at a store, she wants to buy them all, and sayings “buy me.” But when she go to other store sees other cute things, she wants to buy that too. That is why a woman can be very hesitant. When a man says that he’s going to buy one thing from the store, it’s a guarantee that he will come home with that item because things do not scream out at him, “buy me”. Secondly, a woman always can take longer time to shop that a man does. A lady has to look at everything she finds appealing to the eye. Some women knows when they go shopping are for a pair of jeans they end up with a shirt and a pretty pair of shoes to match. What should have only taken 20 minutes to begin with became 1 or 2 hours. A man just doesn’t seem to notice things as a woman does. Maybe it is because a man just does not care about it. In any case, when a man says he will be back in 20 minutes from shopping, he will be back in 20 minutes or less. Thirdly, a woman...

...Stephanie Aguilar Professor Lee ENGL 1302 2, April 2013 Selfishness Are you aware of the meaning of true love when the money and the power are sitting comfortably in your hands? In the song “When I was your Man” by Bruno Mars, he expresses his regret of putting aside a loyal woman. Serving him as a lesson learned, he found the true meaning of appreciation of a good woman. Bruno Mars expresses the consequences of his decisions. Unfortunately, his choices threw away an opportunity that was standing at his door step. This song conveys situations in which Bruno Mars could have done more than he did. Throughout “When I was your Man,” he is continually stating things he once took for granted. Therefore forcing him to love and live without her. Bruno Mars shares his depressive mental state of regret using symbolism, irony and metaphor. Bruno Mars states, “I am in a situation right now, when you write a depressing song because you are in a dark place; you are bleeding in front of people talking about this personal experience. I have never felt anything like that before and I am going through it now.” He sings from the heart and personal experiences, as an artist you have to be able to connect with the lyrics. Mentioning that singing fairytales and lying in his lyrics was not what he was into doing. In fact, his uses of symbolism help him express his sincere regret. Bruno Mars is able to lyrically connect the abstract idea to his mood. He portrays a mental image to listeners...

...Maugham on a level with the greatest English writers of the 20th century. In general, Maugham's novels and short stories could be characterized by great narrative facility, an ironic point of view, cosmopolitan settings, and an astonishing understanding of human nature. His short stories gained the greatest popularity. And it’s right time to speculate upon one of the stories - “The Escape”- which impressed me deeply and made me think about its subject. It is about a man (Roger) and a woman (Ruth), their complicated relations and scheming in order to achieve different aims. So they are the main characters. The author hides behind the narrator who is the secondary character. The essence of “The Escape”, to my mind, is that Roger and Ruth have diverse approaches towards the relations. Of course, the men and the women like the first step: flowers, attentiveness, passion. But then their paths diverge. The romance disappears, the man looks for the way out, he craves for new emotions, but the woman deems that the relations should develop into the marriage. And “The Escape” is the example of such a mismatch. From the very beginning the...

...Samuel Gibson 4/19/2012 Theology 202 Short Essay 3 The Role of Women in the Church As I was talking to my friend Mary and see how passionate that she wants to be in the ministry in her church and I see that she has a lot of questions be for she commits. When you look at the “elders” and “deacons” in the church they have different jobs. As researching ‘elders” I came across a great article on Questions?org it takes about the duties of an elder in the church. The bible talks about at lest five duties and obligations of the elder. They stated on Questions?org “ The elders help to settle disputes in the church”. While Paul and Barnabas were at Antioch of Syria, some men from Judea arrived and began to teach the Christians ‘unless you keep the ancient Jewish custom of circumcision taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.’ Paul and Barnabas, disagreeing with them, argued forcefully and at length. Finally, Paul and Barnabas were sent to Jerusalem, accompanished by some local believers, to talk to the apostles and elders about this question” (Acts 15:1 - 2,NLT).(gotQuestions?org, 2012). You can see that the elders make decisions in the church. The are right after the Pastors when it comes to making decisions in the church. The elders are senior advisors are ahead of everyone and right behind the pastor, and assistant pastor. The have a lot of power in the church and are very respected by the congregation. Whenever a conflict arises and the pastor and assistant pastor is not available...

...50 Ways To Be A Woman 1. Practice good personal grooming habits. If you are going to have colored hair, keep your roots covered. If you are going to have fake nails, keep them filled. Take care of your skin, take care of your teeth. 2. Dress modestly. Gain attention through who you are rather than the parts of your body you choose to expose. It is worth far more in the long run. 3. Certain fashion staples will always remain timeless. A few conservative dresses, a string of pearls, a nice handbag and a good pair of pumps should always be in your wardrobe. 4. Write thank you notes. It is one of the best ways to make a good impression and literally takes five seconds. It is a dying art that so desperately needs to be revived. If someone is nice enough to give you a gift or recommend you to a position, the least you can do is give them a proper thank you. People remember thank you notes. 5. Get involved. Join societies and organizations that have a positive influence in your community. Create positive exposure for yourself. 6. Learn how to write checks and keep a check book. You may never need to use it, but if there comes a time that you need to, you’ll feel stupid if you don’t know how. 7. Form opinions. On political matters. On current events. Be able to contribute to a conversation as an informed member of society. Knowing when to exert these opinions and when to keep them to yourself is just as important. 8. Take a stance and do not falter...

It’s taking innocent lives away and it’s cruel. Many people also think the human embryo isn’t a human because it hasn’t been born yet. Many people think abortion is okay and do not think it’s hurting anyone or killing a human being, but there is good supporting information stating that abortion is wrong and why. Abortion is the killing of an unborn human being. The United States government considers unborn...

...Feminism is not just for women, it is for everyone because everyone is equal and everyone has the right to feel equal. There is an ironic stereotype for feminists, apparently feminists are portrayed as angry man-hating women, when really feminist are just people fighting for equality among sexes. Whether people realize it or not, feminism is a part of our daily lives. When a woman is fighting to be treated with the same respect as a man, that’s feminism, when a man treats a woman as his equal, that’s feminism, when a woman is the sole provider of her household, that’s feminism, when a man defends a woman when she is being harassed, that’s feminism, when people treat each other as equals with equal rights, that’s feminism. Every single day a woman is fighting for her right to be equal to a man. There will always be inequality in the world, this fact will never change, but that doesn’t mean that some inequalities cannot be stopped. More and more people are beginning to start their fight for equality and that’s such a beautiful thing. It’s inspiring to know that there are people out there who feel the same way I do about specific topics and are fighting to make a change for the...

Subject: “WHY SOME PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO SEE YOU GET BACK UP!” It is a marvelous thing to witness seeing someone turn their lives around. Whether you know them intimately or from afar, there is something that churns on the inside when a man or woman or boy or girl decides that they’ve had enough of living a riotous life – they’ve had enough of being drunken and not knowing where they are in the morning; they’ve had enough of losing their financial portfolio at the hands of one armed bandits; they’ve had enough of living alternative lifestyles or being nothing more than a bedtime comforter for someone who can get a license for a dog, but not see the need for a license for an intimate...

...housewife is depicted here as she ought to be; the poet shows how she governs and increases the wealth of the house, and thereby also advances the position of her husband in the common estimation, and he refers all these, her virtues and her prudence, to the fear of God as their root. The worthy woman is a rare person among humanity because she aids the man in every aspect of the home. Not many women have the desire, grit, health, physical strength, and stamina to do what this woman does. To examine the worthy woman of God in the scriptures is to embark upon a journey that leaves a man at awe in relationship to this person's faith, work ethic, love, devotion, and trustworthiness. The woman who meets the identity of "worthy" has the trust of her husband. The husband will trust this woman's marital fidelity and her genuine love for their children's spiritual well being. The "worthy woman" gives no cause for the man to be concerned of adultery, ruinous behavior around children, or the home period. Her desire for the overall well fare of her home is well known. The worthy woman is a "crown of her husband" in that he trust her and is not ashamed of her ways (Proverbs 12:4 / 7:17-20). The woman who lacks discretion, lacks kindness, flirtatious with other men, lazy, and odious is an embarrassment and rottenness in the bones of her husband (Proverbs 7:9-12). The writer also places a heavy emphasis on her hands. The worthy woman's hands are working hands rather than idle hands. The chapter...

Relationships are the hardest thing to work on. Many work out but many don’t. Most of the times the means is clearly no one’s fault. If there were a lyricist that explore most of his songs on the same topic who would it be? A speaker with the same motif in his songs is Bruno Mars, in which some of his are about breakups and betrayals. Songs like “Grenade”, “Natalie” and “When I Was Your Man” are some good example of which it shows Bruno’s relationship problems with woman. Bruno Mars expresses the consequences of his decisions throughout different concepts such as broken hearth, regrets and betrayal; also they are represented by using symbolism, irony and metaphor, in order to show his depressive mental state. Firstly “Grenade” by Mars, generalizing about the lyrics of this song, it is about a broken heart guy just got dumped by a girl, who did not love him and made him suffer a lot. The lyrics expressed show that the speaker is very sad and depressed, which are the same to a failure stage in a relationship like every other unhappy couples. The first sentence of this song, which says “Easy come, easy go/That's just how you live oohh” (1-2), makes you immediately think that this is the type of girl who doesn’t view relationship as anything serious, which causes a lot pain and stress...

...not a relationship expert. But there’s something about my divorce being finalized this week that gives me perspective of things I wish I would have done different… After losing a woman that I loved, and a marriage of almost 16 years, here’s the advice I wish I would have had 1. Never stop courting. Never stop dating. NEVER EVER take that woman for granted. When you asked her to marry you, you promised to be that man that would OWN HER HEART and to fiercely protect it. This is the most important and sacred treasure you will ever be entrusted with. SHE CHOSE YOU. Never forget that, and NEVER GET LAZY in your love. 2. Protect your own heart. Just as you committed to being the protector of her heart, you must guard your own with the same vigilance. Love yourself fully, love the world openly, but there is a special place in your heart where no one must enter except for your wife. Keep that space always ready to receive her and invite her in, and refuse to let anyone or anything else enter there. 3. Fall in love over and over again. You will constantly change. You’re not the same people you were when you got married, and in five years you will not be the same person you are today. Change will come, and in that you have to re-choose each other everyday. SHE DOESN’T HAVE TO STAY WITH YOU, and if you don’t take care of her heart, she may give that heart to someone else or seal you out completely, and you may never be able to get it back. Always fight to win her love just as you did when...
