...this world. I loved, but sometimes despised him. His father, Mr Sawyer, was a strange man. Nobody could make out what he was doing in our part of the world at all. He was not a planter or a doctor or a lawyer or a banker. He didn't keep a store. He wasn't a schoolmaster or a government official. He wasn't — that was the point — a gentleman. We had several resident romantics who had fallen in love with the moon on the Caribees — they were all gentlemen and quite unlike Mr Sawyer who hadn't an 'h' in his composition. Besides, he detested the moon and everything else about the Caribbean and he didn't mind telling you so. He was agent for a small steamship line which in those days linked up Venezuela and Trinidad with the smaller islands, but he couldn't make much out of that. He must have a private income, people decided, but they never decided why he had chosen to settle in a place he didn't like and to marry a coloured woman. Though a decent, respectable, nicely educated coloured woman, mind you. Mrs Sawyer must have been very pretty once but, what with one thing and another, that was in days gone by. When Mr Sawyer was drunk — this often happened — he used to be very rude to her. She never answered him. 'Look at the nigger showing off,' he would say; and she would smile as if she knew she ought to see the joke but couldn't. 'You damned, long-eyed, gloomy half-caste, you don't smell right,' he would say; and she never answered, not even to whisper, 'You don't smell right to...

Throughout this interview the responses of the therapist (T) (Rogers), and the client (C) are numbered for easy reference. [Source: Shostrom, E. L. (1965). Three approaches to psychotherapy (Part I)[Film]. Orange, CA: Psychological Films.] GLORIA DR. CARL ROGERS PART I -- DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM [Before the Interview] "From my own years of therapeutic experience, I have come to feel that if I can create the proper climate, the proper, relationship, the proper conditions, a process of therapeutic movement will almost inevitably occur in my client. You may ask, 'What is this climate? What are these conditions? Will they exist in the interview with the woman I am about to talk with, whom I have never seen before?' Let me try to describe very briefly what these conditions are as I see them. First of all, one question is, can I be real in the relationship? This has come to have an increasing amount of importance to me over the years. I feel that genuineness is another way of...

She’s accusing me of sexual harassment. What had happened, let me just give you some back history first. First of all, my wife and I are having marital problems and during that time we separated and Abby and I, because we have seen each other, because we have liked each other decided, let’s see what can happen. B: How long ago was this? R: This was 6 months ago. Last 2 weeks it has really become stressed and that’s why production is down. And I know that you know these numbers. But the problem being is that she is fighting everything. She doesn’t want to work with me, she doesn’t want to give me a hand with anything, and I’m managing it all on my own. And then she’s threatening me. Now this is in response to another email that I sent her, which she refers to in there. Now here is that email, and let me explain. Right now I’m just saying if you don’t want to get back together with me, and I had wrote her an email saying why don’t we get back together. Well she didn’t respond positively so I said fine, if you’re uncomfortable on our team, I’ll do everything that I can to help facilitate you moving to a different group. I wanted to help her, I wanted to solve this problem and instead she’s writing...

...to the rhetorical situation are the writer, the reader, the text, and the medium. The first rhetorical situation I will analyze is the writer, and to mainly focus on what exactly I am trying to get across for the readers. The first thing when I am going through the steps of a writer is to start from the top, I feel as if some people jump around but I like to go in order I feel like as if it gives me a sense of direction when coming up with a reason to write my paper. Going into the second step of the writer is trying to find out what my goal is and that basically means what do I want my final outcome to look like and will it affect anything else? And to wrap up the next two parts of the guide since they kind of blend in together, is that I always want my readers to know the reason behind my own writing, I don’t want to leave them on a cliff, I always explain to them why I am writing this essay or prompt....

...Make a Fourth Quarter Deal The Meeting G: Jason, I have such awesome news for you, I’m so glad you’re here. Betsy said that you are going out of town and I was wondering you know, is he going to be here or not because I have such awesome news. J: Yeah great. G: I have Bestel who is interested in investing 4 million dollars in this company, immediately. All we have to do is sign a few papers and we are done. Now the chairman of the board, do you remember Jack Schneider? Do you remember when he came in? J: I do. G: Ok. So I have known him since I was a kid, he’s almost like an uncle to me. Now he said, basically this is a done deal. Now his shareholders, they don’t get together until 2 weeks after the fourth quarter. But that’s not really a problem because I have talked to him, and worked everything out and done everything that he wanted me to do. J: does he have to get the shareholders to approve the deal? G: Well yeah of course. J: Well how is he going to do that if the quarter ends, he can’t legitimately sign the deal before he gets shareholder approval? G: Ok, well technically I know what you’re saying, but I’m telling you I know this guy. He’s like, like at thanksgiving and when I was growing up we would have picnics together, and he’s given me the OK. He says he’s got these shareholders on his side, and then he’ll have this meeting that’s kind of a technical problem but other than that, he said he will do it so it’s really not a problem. J: So if he does that though, are we...

...only three weeks ago when I learned that my aunt, whom I thought is a self-proclaimed lesbian because of her physical appearance, body movements, and past relationships with the same sex, is dating a guy from Manila. She related to us (me and my siblings) how she got to know that guy and how she told him that she has had relationships with women. I was shocked after hearing her story, and realized one thing – that my aunt is not really a lesbian, but a bisexual instead. Thanks to my Sosc3 and Hume10 classes, I finally distinguished the differences between genders. I’ll be turning 18 this February and for the past few days, I keep asking myself how mature did I become back when I had my first menstruation. Although honestly, I really don’t believe that maturity starts right after menarche, the earliest memory I can recall about ‘maturity’ was that moment. It was a Saturday, 17th day of September 2006 to be exact. After my mother found out that I had my menstruation, she started reciting to me the ‘rules of maturity’ that were passed from my great grandmother down to my grandmother, to my mother and her girl siblings, to my older sister, and that time – to me. Funny as it may sound, but it is something about sexuality and its importance. My grandmother is prominent in our place because she belonged to a group called ‘Tres Marias’, named by our then mayor, which is a group of the three most religious people in Lipa. That time, I really don’t know how they became ‘Tres Marias’...

...I knew some English word. I can understand some, but when folks started to talk really fast that’s when I started to get confuse and won’t don’t know what they are talking about. I moved in the States when I was 8 years old. My parents divorced and I have to stay with my mom, my dad, however stayed in the Philippines. I’m more of a daddy’s girl than a mommy’s girl, my mom worked a lot so I really don’t know how she is. So when news was broken down to me that I have to go live with my mom in the States, I started to panic. One of the reasons are I don’t know how to speak English, and I’m worried I might be bullied because I don’t know the language, also I don’t know how my mom really is. I don’t know how her temper is like I know my dad’s, but most importantly I’m going to miss my dad. I really don’t want to leave my dad my home country, but I did not have any choice. My dad kept telling me that he will come to visit me as often, but I know for a fact I won’t see him for a while. My mom and I lived in West Covina, California. I first thought my mom can take me to Disneyland whenever I want, but I was wrong. My mom was working all day, all night like how usually was. My grandmother was always watching me, I asked my grandmother in Tagalog, “How are the kids in school, grandma? I’m scared they might make fun of me and I won’t have any friends.” She told me in Tagalog as well, “Don’t worry there are a lot of Filipino kids here, I’m sure one of them knows how to speak in Tagalog...

...pencer's POV I was just sitting at my desk trying to finish my homework, when someone knocks in my door "Why can't I just escape from my family" I thought walking towards the door. I open it ready to see my mom or maybe Melissa. But who I found is a much a better guest. "OH. EM. GEE!" I finally reacted and hugged her tightly. After being like that for what felt hours we let go from the embrace to look at each other. And there she was. The last person I thought it could be. My best friend since before I even had memory. The person that I trusted with my life, even more that I could ever trust anyone. The girl that I thought I wouldn't see until my 16th Birthday. My twin sister, Carolyn Alyssa Hastings. We just stayed there, looking at each other. It seemed like forever since I last saw her, well technically I always saw her, she look just like me but it felt so nice to finally actually see HER. We were best friends since before I even had memory. Not matter what she was always there for me when mom and dad choose Melissa over us, over and over again. She was the strong one, not me. She didn't care that mom and dad played favorites with Melissa, she knew she was better than that. She didn't need mom and dad to tell her that she was perfect, because she knew that nobody was. Not even herself. She didn't care what people thought of her, as long as she knew who she truly was. She didn't care if everyone hated her as long as I didn't. She has always been like that. In change I just got...

... ‘It’s pretty hot,’ the man said. ‘Let’s drink beer.’ ‘Dos cervezas,’ the man said into the curtain. ‘Big ones?’ a woman asked from the doorway. ‘Yes. Two big ones.’ The woman brought two glasses of beer and two felt pads. She put the felt pads and the beer glass on the table and looked at the man and the girl. The girl was looking off at the line of hills. They were white in the sun and the country was brown and dry. ‘They look like white elephants,’ she said. ‘I’ve never seen one,’ the man drank his beer. ‘No, you wouldn’t have.’ ‘I might have,’ the man said. ‘Just because you say I wouldn’t have doesn’t prove anything.’ The girl looked at the bead curtain. ‘They’ve painted something on it,’ she said. ‘What does it say?’ ‘Anis del Toro. It’s a drink.’ ‘Could we try it?’ The man called ‘Listen’ through the curtain. The woman came out from the bar. ‘Four reales.’ ‘We want two Anis del Toro.’ ‘With water?’ ‘Do you want it with water?’ ‘I don’t know,’ the girl said. ‘Is it good with water?’ ‘It’s all right.’ ‘You want them with water?’ asked the woman. ‘Yes, with water.’ ‘It tastes like liquorice,’ the girl said and put the glass down. ‘That’s the way with everything.’...

You would be respecting all those heroes who died for us. I think it would be a big challenge to join the military because your mindset is on dying because they don't know if they are coming back. And neither does there family, I think that would be so hard. Their job is saving us and the U.S, so in a way they are heroes.
