...ENGL 1121 Personal Experience Essay September 8, 2013 Vintage Wedding Reception It was a beautiful hot Saturday evening in September. The hot humid summer air was very sultry, so think you could cut the air with a knife. The air was filled with a stunning aroma of fresh flowers and cadence of the guests. There were peaceful subtle sounds of violins; viola and cello music filling the air while guests were arriving for the start of the 1920 themed reception. The atmosphere we felt on arrival to our friend’s reception was like being in the movie set of the “Great Gatsby.” The Tudor Revival/Cotswold Cottage that stood three stories in the background was perfect for the set of this extraordinary reception party. Upon arrival my first perception of the ambiance was that I just had walked back into a roaring 20’s reception party. The lavish attire of the quests and the vehicles out front of this gorgeous cottage was something out of the movie “The Great Gatsby.” Everyone was engaged in conversation with each other and the champagne appeared to be flowing like endless waterfalls into the crystal stemware that quests were holding so elegantly. The subtle tone of the crowd drew louder as they seemed to start getting anxious as the bride and groomed arrived in a 1920’s Packard Eight Sport Phaeton. Our friends wedding party entered the beautifully decorated grounds of the cottage everyone started applauding. As they made their way through the crowd they started hugging...

There is an increasing number of unregulated doping events detected in some important international sports events. Most people think performance enhancing drugs should not be allowed in sports; however, actually, doping should be advocated on the basis of safety.

Finally, the reason why doping should be allowed will be illustrated. 2. Reason of doping and disapproval of society Doping in sports is regarded to be against the rules and the athletes who doping in their competitions are considered that they are cheating. Although there is public opinion in society, some athletes still would like to take risks in doping. Why do athletes determine to dope in sports regardless of all consequences? And why do the society so oppose this phenomenon? 2.1 Reason of doping Athletes, especially elite athletes, desire great perfomance in competition and honor of win.

...infatuated with competitive play against one another. We owe this anomaly to the primeval mentalities left behind through human evolution; and, we certainly have much to thank for these actions. Sporting, as is explained by renowned sports author Richard Davies, is the “Organized competitive activity between participants that requires some combination of skill and physical prowess.”1 Though, something more complex and unusual also comes with activity of this nature, and this is the ability to forget the destitution and difficulty of everyday life and the capability to be on a level playing field with many people that believe the same way, no matter what socio-economic class they represent. One sport in particular has transcended all other games, has continually been a psychological shelter from pain and hardships of life, and also a cultural rocket breaking through the social barriers in the American society. That sport is simply the most beloved American game of all, baseball. The purpose of this essay is to critically explore a myriad of aspects of life that have been changed due to sports, all the while concentrating on baseball as the main focal point. Further, this work will continually pose the question of how it is conceivable that a single and simple sport could greatly impact a country the way baseball has the United States. At the time of the first foreign inhabitants of North America, life was more difficult than someone of the twenty-first century could have imagined. The...

...The United States was arguably in one of its prime times back in the 1920s. They had made massive income, selling weapons to other countries during World War I. Everybody was profiting, but this nation was undergoing many, many, changes in this era as well. Since the Civil War the southern states had fallen behind to the north in education, but had somewhat recovered in terms of materials. As Americans began to move into larger cities and areas, often to the Northeast, and society became more urbanized, it would seem very reasonable for new ideas to begin emerging; popping up and taking effect. And one of these specific philosophies was the idea of modernism, with things such as changes to education, and making education mandatory. The US was...

...What are learning styles? Do learning styles exist? Since 1920, researchers have been studying these experiments for over 50 years. According to the Washington Post, there is a lack of evidence of theories being proposed but, learning styles might exist in the near future. Your learning styles are the different ways you develop, process, and receive the information. Achieving goals can increase your motivation, better your understanding of materials, apply yourself more, evaluate yourself, and shows you how to understand the material. Researchers have found when you recognize your strengths and weaknesses, you can fix your learning habits and it can help you improve your grades. Discovering your learning style and what type you have, you will begin to transform and you will have the tools needed to make important decisions about learning. A teacher or a parent has their own unique style that makes their learning process much easier but can be challenging sometimes. However, environmental factors can affect how you learn material and process information. Students can only determine what their learning style really is if they can retain information best by seeing the material, hearing information, or a hands-on experience. There are three major categories or types of individual learning styles that can recognize your learning patterns and how this can help you in the future. The three learning styles are auditory, tactile (kinesthetic), and visual. If you gain more knowledge from...

...In what ways does a comparative study accentuate the distinctive contexts of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and A Room of One’s Own? A Room of One’s Own (1929) by Virginia Woolf and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1962) by Edward Albee, when compared, accentuate the difference in values and beliefs that pervaded the context in which they wrote. Woolf’s critical yet creative essay explores truth and gender equality in a period driven by progression and the first wave of feminism. Contrastingly, Albee attempts to confront his audience through satirical dialogue and bombastic characters. Although Albee also explores truth and gender equality, the difference in context allows him to examine the way in which these values have been discarded in the moral decline masked by the American Dream. When paralleled, it is evident that both texts reflect the differences of their context. Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own digs beneath the veneer of social progress to expose the patriarchal values entrenched in society. Woolf first establishes the subjectivity of truth, so that the readers draw their own conclusion as “they observe the limitations, the prejudices, the idiosyncrasies of the speaker.” By making them conscious on the subjectivity of truth, Woolf is forcing the reader to draw their own conclusions on what is logical, rather than accepting the patriarchal beliefs of their context. The anecdotal evidence of the fictitious Mary Seaton’s experience at the British Museum exposes the...

...A Brief History of "Outlaw" Motorcycle Clubs Little scholarly research exists which addresses outlaw motorcycle clubs. These works attempt to explore warring factions of outlaw clubs, provide club members’ perspectives about media portrayal, expose myths, and elucidate motorcycle club culture.*1 The literature reveals gaps which leave many unanswered questions: Where do outlaw motorcycle clubs come from? How did they start? How or why did they evolve into alleged international crime organizations? The few histories of outlaw motorcycle organizations date the origins of such clubs to around 1947 and tend to oversimplify the issues of why these clubs formed and who actually joined them. Histories such as these are built on foundations of weak evidence, rendering inconsequential the origins of the subculture and relegating members of early organizations to the marginal status of “malcontents on the edge of society, and other antisocial types who just wanted to raise hell” (Valentine 147). This article extends current research by reaching back nearly half a century before 1947 to link the dawn of motorcycle organizations with the present reality of outlaw motorcycle clubs. The overarching goal of the article is to offer a more comprehensive history, an evolutionary history that may allow for a better understanding of contemporary motorcycle subculture. What follows is a taxonomy of social and historical factors affecting group formation of motorcycle clubs according to the...
