...The most important thing that has ever happened to me is when I got accepted to a university. Some people don’t understand how much difference a good education makes. It opens your eyes to a wider world. It helps you understand things you never understood before. It gives you opportunities for a better life that you would never have had without the education. But education isn’t enough how many PhD degree you get , your heart I till no different than anyone else’s. We’re all still basically selfish, out for what we can get, focused on taking care of just us, and making the best life for ourselves we can. The reason why education doesn’t solve everything is because we have a heart problem, not a head problem. I can have all the education I want, but if my heart is not a good, one I will never be successful in life. So get another degree. Fill your head with more knowledge, but remember to also fill your heart. My major is Business Administration and I dream of having my own business one day, a business where I can make other people feel better about them self, make them feel like they are in place where at that moment nothing matters but their happiness, where problems and worries are outside not inside. Everything started when I was little, my family has hotels in peru and I always admired them for that. At the age of 16, I started working at Marriot Hotel as a receptionist, later on I got a job as a hostess in The Ritz Carlton Hotel, it was one of the most important jobs...

...of Gilgamesh and Achilles from Iliad. Tonight, they are going to reveal secrets never heard before and change your perception of life forever. It is amazing how the stories you will hear, happened so far back in the past are applicable for our life today. Host: Hello Gilgamesh and Achilles. You look amazing tonight. How do you feel? Gilgamesh: Great! Achilles: A little old, but good! Host: How do you like the couch? Is it comfortable enough for you? Gilgamesh: Well, my bed in Uruk was much better, but I can survive on that coach for an hour. Achilles: It’s better than sitting on the floor. Host: You are funny! I will ask to be changed next time you come. Ok. Let’s start with the serious part now. Gilgamesh, Achilles, you know that you are the most famous heroes of all time, and all the people around the world who are watching you now have read your stories in the books “The Epic of Gilgamesh” and “Iliad”. Everybody knows what happened in your lives and the descriptions of your journeys. How does it feel to be still known by everybody after more than 2,000 years and be still the greatest heroes ever? Gilgamesh: To be honest, I never expected that my story will live for such a long time, and I really appreciate it.

...Irene and Clare’s, true identities were exposed. The reason why I’m assuming that happened to them “that time in Chicago” is because they both suffered from an emotional event that caused Irene to have a flashback memory that took place two years prior to her reading the letter, and because of the title and information given on the cover of the book. By Irene looking at four words, she was able to create a sharp image of that moment like it happened the previous day of her reading the letter. The only time a person has a flash back memory is when an unexpected event in a person’s life occurs that has strong emotional associations, such as fear, horror, or joy (233 Ciccarelli). With that being said, Clare could also be talking about the time when she and Irene saw her father being brought in after dying in a saloon-fight. With them experiencing an unexpected emotional event like that in both of their lives at a young age, it makes that situation hard to forget. “Seen across the long stretch of years, the thing had more the appearance of an outpouring of pent-up fury than of an overflow of grief for her dead father (2 Larsen). I think with Clare having ivory skin, a scarlet mouth, and a green frock is important to her description because it helps her ‘Pass’ without people having second thoughts of her true identity. The Ivory skin is the most important out of all the others because that’s the first thing people notice when looking at Clare. Ivory is a neutral color that isn’t quite...

...Have you ever felt so bad about your life that it was easier to stay in bed each morning, coiled in the foetal position, firmly tucked away from the fears and tears that the coming day had in store? Have you been so low and alone that what you really would prefer would be to just… fade away? Nothing, it seems, can save you from this most overwhelming blackness mixed with a series of irrational fears about your future or current situation. These fears are so strong that they really border paranoia. You also believe that no one other than you ever felt this way. You just want the world to go away, so you tuck yourself further into the bed and continue to worry. It has been days since you slept which means your whirring mind has 24 hours of opportunity each day to undermine and criticise. Any semblance of self-confidence has evaporated with assistance of this negative self-talk. The worst thing though, is being completely out of control. You did not invent or encourage this absolute bleakness or encourage your self-esteem to desert you. You know not why this has happened and feel there is no one to talk to as they surely will not understand. The question of What is happening to me is so real. Where did this come from and...

...out to escape,” I grit my teeth. In order to become a hero and be able to protect everyone, two years ago, I decided to learn anything that would help me become someone people can rely on. To be honest, I planned to do this for a long time ago and finally I had a chance to do it. At that time, I did not have any tools to help me because I thought I was equipped with the necessary skills to survive any harsh environment. The reason for me to do this is “I want to become a hero so anyone can rely on me.” However, that is not important anymore because now, I am facing the reaper. He is holding a gun and can shoot me to death whenever he want. How can I escape from this? When I was a kid, I always wanted to become someone who was useful and reliable. Superman was an important character in my childhood. I had always considered him as an idol who I really wanted to become. That was the reason why I always tried to stay at the top in both academic and social fields. Christopher Reeve says, “What makes Superman a hero is not that he has power, but that he has the wisdom and the maturity to use the power wisely. From an acting point of view, that's how I approached the part.” Supermans may not be the best compared to Batman, Spiderman, Storm, etc…However, he was the first character I knew from a comic book I got from my uncle. It had been twelve years since I started to live under his “shadow”. Not only his power, no one could deny his wisdom and maturity which significantly impacted...

...Review of “Night” Marcie Mills In 1944 Europe, Elie Weisel and his family are forced into a concentration camp because they are Jewish. When they arrive, Elie and his father are separated from his mother and sisters. As this is happening, he sees Jews that were gassed being thrown into burning mass graves. A Jew's daily ration was a small bowl of thin soup and a small piece of bread. The Jews are forced to run from camp to camp naked; being shot if they stop or slow down. Elie's father gets sick and Elie shares his ration to keep his father alive. Will Elie ever see his mother and sisters again? Will Elie get out alive? The author engages the reader by making them feel like Elie or another Jew. You, the reader, feel like you are in the story. You get mad when Elie's father gets beaten and you feel how hungry they must be. Elie piques the interest of the readers by writing about all the crazy and difficult things he did to stay alive as a Jew during the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel was 15 when the Nazis came for the 15,000 Jews of his hometown of Sighet, Transylvania, in May 1944. Upon arrival at Auschwitz-Birkenau, his mother and sister were murdered within hours, while he was put to work as a slave labourer. Eight months later, the Germans evacuated the camp and forced the survivors on a death march that ended at Buchenwald. Wiesel was one of the few still alive when the Americans arrived in April 1945. This is written a style that seems to be typical of many modern Israeli novelists;...

...detailed journey into my life! I will start with my place of birth and briefly elaborate along the way on each of the points in my young life that I feel are most impactful on my current life situation. Next , I will take you on a rollercoaster ride through my teen years and into my young adulthood, high’s and low’s. I will close by taking you on a journey, as I find out that I am having my first child and making a big move that will impact the rest of my life, as I know it. Let’s begin with the year I was born. I was born in 1981 on December 23rd. My Mother Kris, and my Father Randy were only 18 years young. I was born at Whuestoff Hospital in Rockledge, FL. Rockledge is a proud little city that is about 20 minutes inland from Cocoa Beach. My mom has always had the warm memory of bringing me home from the hospital on Christmas Eve dressed in a red one piece and wrapped in a Christmas stocking. I don’t know what it is about that story but I love to hear my mom talk about it. I guess that’s part of the reason why I have always loved Christmas and the Holiday Season. We will now jump forward to my 6th Christmas when I received my first ever bicycle from Santa Clause. Yes it was the first one ever. It was everything I ever wanted and now it was mine. I can remember it clearly, it was red and blue and had the Smurf’s all over it. I...

...Night by Elie Wiesel represents many terrifying truths that has sadly happened during the holocaust. Elie Wiesel supports his main theme multiple times by using many literary devices such as irony and hyperboles to strengthen his message; he gives the reader a more complex , and vivid depiction of the theme. Elies most important and vital human connections are his family or more specifically his father. Sadly as his father began to weaken Elie started to expect him to die and leave him all alone which made him lose his spirit, and determination to survive. Night holds many strong, and powerful themes but one particularly important one is that one must have human connections to have strength and remain sane: these human connections could be...

It was a cold winter's night in Kensington, NH, where my grandparents live. At the time, my father was struggling with alcoholism and drug addiction and had no determination to better himself. My family was fully aware of the issue, but I had very little knowledge of the situation. I was told he was experiencing a “rough patch in life.” My younger sister, who was seven years old at the time, asked my grandmother to help her set up the dining-room computer so that she could play a game. To her surprise, she was told, “Ask your father.” As she wandered into the living-room...
