...begins with college graduation and not one moment should be wasted with the excuse, “Oh, as long as I figure things out by the time im thirty”. Resumes don’t get any better, your memory doesn’t get any sharper, and you don’t get any younger. When looking for a job later in life, your employer will know these things. Meg describes her personal “Ah ha!” moment, when finally comprehending that no relationship, no bar tending job with the plan to “do better next year” will actually go anywhere. As Meg draws attention to, in her opinion, the benign neglect that so many twenty-somethings struggle with, she suggests what the consequences for such could be. Job rates decreasing and unhealthy marriages being the most prominent. Psychologists, Sociologists, Neurologists, and Fertility specialists all have evidence to back up the theory that these years mark the pivotal movement of one’s life, and the key developmental stages of their body. “You’re not getting any younger!” Starts to become a joke among friends, while its seriousness is often overlooked. Fertility, being a prime example, becomes increasingly more difficult with age, and a lot more complicated. On another note, Meg mentions, “Eighty percent of your greatest life achievements happen by the age of 35”. In other words, 8 out of 10 “decisions, experiences, and “Ah Ha! Moments” that define a person will have happened by your early thirties. This proves that your lives most pivotal moments are based off of the path you choose as...

...discussing whether it is a mechanism for control or a vehicle for liberation. Throughout the novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, by Zora Neale Hurston, supports both arguments with a myriad of examples. An unknown voice narrates Janie's story, which has many dominating influences that are able to use the power of speech to take control. Consequently, Janie remains reserved for most of the novel, and she pays the price for her silent consent. When Janie was vocal with her opinions, she was able to determine her own future. Speech is the most influential tool to determine power, and Janie was able to liberate herself of her misery when she was vocal, yet her silence was taken advantage of, so she was a pawn in her own life. Upon being given orders to move a manure pile, Janie had come to the end of her patience with her marriage to Logan Killicks....

He laid down the orange and pushed back his chair, and she took her little warm hand out of her muff and gave it to him. "Vera!" he exclaimed. "How strange. Really, for sit down? You've had lunch? Won't you have some coffee?" She hesitated, but of course she meant to. "Yes, I'd like some coffee." And she sat down opposite him. "You've changed. You've changed very much," he said, s lighted look. "You look so well. I've never seen you look so well before." "Really?" She raised her veil and unbuttoned her high fur collar.

...3. Has Fruit Chan’s independent film depicting disaffected or problem youth touched upon global and local issues? How are these issues represented directly or indirectly in the scenes? Fruit Chan’s independent film has depicted disaffected or problem youth touched upon global and local issues especially with his 1997 Trilogy referring to the lives and reactions of Hong Kong youngsters in response to the 1997 hangover, which induced local and global issues. This essay is going to focus on Made in Hong Kong, which youth characters are dominant in it. I will firstly discuss how the local issues being represented by scenes and then shift to the global one. As an independent film, Made in Hong Kong shows the anxiety and confusion of marginalized youth in the society, they are a group of people who may easily be ignored by the society. Fruit Chan has successfully depicted the local issues through the film by using visual motif, monologue, settings and graphic blocking. He has brought up the youth problem, the grass-rooted family problem and the identity problem arose by authority change in 1997 to the society. In the 90s, a rise of gangster movies certainly promoted a sense of heroism for the youth. The society idealized the images of being a gangster and overlooked the panicky side of the youngsters. The main characters Moon, Ah Lung, Ah Ping and Susan in the movie represent the problem youth in the society. The monologue of Moon at the very beginning unveils the failure...

...Day Ditzy Doo's Dismally Derpy Day -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a beautiful Spring morning in Ponyville. Birds were singing, clouds were drifting lazily through the sky, and a blonde-maned, blue-gray pegasus pony was arguing with a mailbox. "Open, you little rolled-steel reprobate!" she snarled while trying desperately to pry open its door from the left side, using the edge of her hoof as a wedge. But it was no use, it simply wouldn't budge. It felt like something was jamming it in place along the bottom, but she had felt down there repeatedly and couldn't find anything. She stepped back and took a deep breath, trying to think of another approach since brute force wasn't working. She held up the day's mail for the address on one upturned hoof, and said in the most charming voice she could manage, "Open up mister mailbox, it's time for your breakfast," before trying to gently open it one more time, and -- predictably -- failing. "GAH!" She was beginning to wonder it anyone would notice if she just didn't deliver any mail to Carousel Boutique today when the proprietress, Rarity, sauntered up beside her. At least she could just hand it off directly to her, now. "Lovely, isn't it?" Ditzy Doo turned and noticed the bolts of cloth Rarity had tucked neatly into her saddlebags, a delightful floral print on silk. "Oh, yes, quite." Ditzy never pretended to "get" fashion, it was full of endless complexities...

As the layers begin to unfold in the story, Missie May begins to value herself as the loving wife and nothing would stop their love from being pure and unaltered, “Ah'm a real wife, not no dress and breath. Ah might not look lak one, but if you burn me, you won't git a thing but wife ashes”. Missie May claims to be a faithful wife and truthful, not one made up with the finer things in life. However, Hurston describes “Their whitewashed house, the mock battle on Saturday, the dinner and ice cream parlor afterwards, church on Sunday nights when Missie out dressed any woman in town--all, everything, was right” Missie May wouldn’t need to compete with the town to show her worth to anyone except her husband.

...In the essay, “Me Talk Pretty One Day” (2000), David Sedaris, playwright, essayist, and nominee on three separate occasions for Grammy Awards, comically recounts his experience learning French in Paris, illustrating that through hard work and sometimes non traditional teaching methods, it is possible to overcome a somewhat impossible feat. Sedaris cultivates this lesson through storytelling; in the beginning demonstrating his lack of understanding French, enduring abuse from his pugnacious teacher, and eventually having an ah-ha! moment where he comprehends both the language as well as the reason for the teaching methods. By relating direct quotes and creating a nostalgic classroom feeling, Sedaris employs the use of hyperbole statements and...

...African American woman in the ‘30s. Even though she was described as very beautiful, Janie stood out from everyone due to her past. “Seeing the woman as she was made then remember the envy they had stared up from other times”(Hurston 17). Because of her wish to find true love, Janie discovers it with the cost of being alone and losing people along the way. Janie’s first marriage was an arrangement made by her grandmother, Nanny.

...Zora Neale Hurston wrote her stories about human experiences. In her stories people experience love, hate, forgiveness and betrayal. Her stories also tell of people’s relationships and feelings. Also, she provides her readers on discrimination and racial inequality which were popular at her time. She wrote about these issues from her own experience and her own feelings. “Someone is always at my elbow reminding me that I am the grand-daughter of slaves” (Hurston 762). Besides, some of her stories had happy ending where characters achieved their entire goals and found their way to joy. However, death sometimes takes place in her stories. It is bringing some changes into the characters’ lives. “The Gilded Six-Bits,” “Sweat” and “Magnolia Flower” explores relationships between men and women through racial inequality in Hurston’s time. In “The Gilded Six- Bits”, the author looks at Joe and Missie May’s relationships through race. At that time black people were discriminated against by white people. Majority of the black people were unequal in society. In some parts of the country they didn’t have the right to vote. Langston Hughes says “ In Mississippi the state spends nine times as much for the education of each white child as it does to educate a Negro child, yet the Negro population equals the white, and the wealth of the state is based on the labor of Negroes in the sun of the cotton fields” (Hughes 768). From the beginning of the story, Zora Neale Hurston writes about...

...For over a year or so, I have deliberated about continuing my education for the purpose of being able to position myself professionally in a way that will expand the areas where I can have a positive impact. My family has recently considered relocating from Chicago, where most of my work experience speaks for me as a dedicated and loyal colleague with a proven ability to lead with compassion, humility, and resilience. Moving to a new city where no one knows me and there’s no one there to speak on my behalf, I don’t want my life and professional experiences to be discounted for lack of a degree. The profession of social services and youth development was not my chosen field of study. In undergrad, I studied theatre with an emphasis on directing and minored in graphic design. After graduating, I continued to work at the university in the theatre department as a contract employee. When the school began having financial challenges, they eliminated all contract...
