...Love vs Friendship What is the difference between friendship and love? This question has always been in the minds of people for centuries. Though a definite answer cannot be given for this question, one can come across some differences between the two. Love and friendship are so much related, that one cannot find any difference between the two. When love can be termed as a sacrifice, friendship can be termed as a trust. Love is a feeling that is uncontrollable, and a feeling which one has for another person. On the other hand, friendship is quite different from love in this aspect. Love is a feeling between two individuals, and only two persons are involved. On the contrary, friendship involves more individuals. One can have many friends, but a person can only have one person to love. In love, there is great attachment for the other. Most of the time an individual gets hurt if his loved one is pained or hurt. This attachment may not be seen in friendship. Regarding the emotions, individuals in love will experience a faster heartbeat when they meet. This is not so when friends meet. There is no way that one will lie awake and think of his friends for a whole night, but lovers will have sleepless nights, and dream about their lovers. The lovers even sleep and wake up with the thoughts of his or her lover. Another difference that can be seen, is that in love, some physical element is also involved between individuals. On the other hand, there is no such physical...

...which stage I’m currently in I had to carefully read though many stages, since the eight stages begins at the time of infancy to late adulthood, which will change within each individual and within their social world combined. After all of the reading I would say that I resign in the six stage of Erikson’s timeline Intimacy vs. Isolation (which he consider young adulthood). I think I’m currently in the stage of young adulthood, because I’m 27 years old and have accomplished the psychosocial issues listed in Erikson fifth stage of life Identity vs. role confusion (Adolescence). Some of the main factors I have accomplished in the fifth stage includes developing my sense of self, beliefs, independence, secure about my future, fidelity, and successfully becoming an identity achiever. The central question that was posed during stage 6, young adulthood, is “How can I love”? (McAdams, 2009, p. 351). I can say that I have consciously sought the answer to my question, because I had learned the true meaning of a love relationship, from past relationships. Which has help me develop closer friendships and my intimate relationship with my partner. I can love by, committing...

...Character- Cat Robinson is a sixteen year old Christian girl with long red hair who is roughly 5’4. All her life she has lived in Black Creek, North Carolina. Cat loves reading books all year around “I went to school and read a lot of books. When it was summer I still read a lot of books” (Myracle 8). From the beginning of the book it is obvious that she is a caring, shy and independent person. Cat is a very caring person because she goes out of her way for people an example is when Patrick got beaten up she started to think that if no one would figure who did this to Patrick she would, which she mentions “I’d look straight into the ugliness and find who hurt him, and when I did, I’d yell it from the mountaintop” (Myracle 21). Cat is very shy in the beginning but she eventually over comes it when she has to look for clues and talk to people she doesn’t want to look at. An example of this is when Cat has to go and ask Tommy the boy who raped her years ago about what happened the night Patrick got attacked. When Cat...

After this tragedy, Mark Antony and Marcus Brutus hold a ‘funeral’ for Caesar. Both Mark Antony and Marcus Brutus are close friends of Julius Caesar. But, Marcus Brutus turns on Caesar, Brutus and a group of conspirators stab Caesar multiple times, resulting in his death. Brutus overall is not loyal to Julius Caesar. During both Mark Antony and Marcus Brutus’ speeches during Act III, Scene ii of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, both conveyed a life changing point about Caesar's death, but, Mark Antony by far gave the better speech, through the use of pathos and rhetorical questions to show his honesty,...

...Running Header: Working vs. Stay Home Mothers 1 Research Paper Working vs. Stay Home Mothers Joseph Ochoa Com/172 September 18, 2012 Brenda Caine WORKING VS. STAY HOME MOTHERS 2 Children have such an amazing connection with their mothers, it is usually the first word they learn and the name they scream when they are hurt. Working mothers have stormed into the business world at full force in the last 20 years. This has had an impact on the children today, although mothers who stay home have more one on one time with their kids. According to Youngberg, “One significant, reoccurring issue specifically related to a mother’s decision of whether to be active in the workforce or be a stay-at-home mother involves the cognitive effects such a decision might have on children” (2011). While Children get as much attention at daycare as they would at home, stay at home mothers have a bigger impact than working moms. Mothers who work and mothers who stay home have the same busy lifestyle. Mothers need to get groceries, get the kids to baseball practice and better have a husband who is splitting the responsibilities to help take off the pressure. Mothers who work start taking their children to daycare at the young age of six to eight weeks. Heidi Brennan said on the Dr. Phil show “Children do not do well with large separations at a time” (Stay-At-Home Moms Vs. Working Moms, 2012). Because of the...

...also win his father’s respect “Would I ever lie to you, Amir Agha?” (Hosseini 54) This quote signifies Hassan’s loyalty to Amir and how he doesn’t just see as a friend, but as a brother. His loyalty is not just shown through words alone, but through the actions that he does. Lying to Amir is what Hassan believes will separate him from his only and best friend Amir. The imagery shown in this section is if a friend is really a friend when the time comes. Amir doesn’t appreciate Hassan for his values enough to even fight for their friendship and prove his friendship when the time came. He watched Hassan get raped which was not an easy sight to withstand, but at least try and fight for a person who you claim to be your friend not only when you and him are alone, but when others are around you. The theme is Guilt vs. Love and it is shown through Amir’s fight to get rid of the guilt he feels he has inside of him for not helping Hassan and his fight for the love of his father and how he believes that the kite-fighting tournament is the last resort he might have to get the relationship that he always wanted with his father. This section makes me feel that no matter what happens if you claim somebody to be your friend then stand beside him/her when the time comes and not run or hide like a coward. This section is unique because it signifies what people may do in real life by being a fake friend and rape is not a joke and how it happens in everyday life. Reader Response #3 The quote...

...So, I’m going to have to do to this one what I did to the first one, and again, I fully acknowledge the Plinkett reviews as a source for me to draw from. The big difference here is that while I was more than willing to give a little leeway to The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones gets no such love. Plain and simple: this movie was terrible. The Direction First and foremost, we need to remember one big thing about the first 3 movies: only one was directed by George Lucas. The other 2 were done by directors Lucas respected (Kershner and Marquand). These movies are 100% Lucas and, in the case of Clones, he elected to direct a movie that was nearly entirely filmed against a green screen. This allowed him to do filming of characters against a blank canvas while allowing him to basically design whatever world he wanted around them. Green screens had long been used for special effects and matte fills, but hadn’t been used this heavily at this time. While Episode II wasn’t a full “digital backlot” film, there were tons and tons of shots that had actors doing their thing with nothing around them but green cloth. The upside here is that digital backlots can save a lot of money in film production since you don’t have to build sets that are either very complicated (aka “expensive”) or utterly impossible. The downside is that if your director isn’t, you know… an actor’s director, the actors all end up like they’re acting in front of a bunch of green cloth because they have nothing...

...In these chapters, situational and symbolic archetypes develop characters, motifs, and symbols. For example, Shelley uses imagery with the Death and Rebirth archetype to describe the morning sparking life to the creature: “It was . . . shrivelled complexion” (55). Likewise, Frankenstein’s pains and the creature’s newborn-like description in the above passage echo the Death and Rebirth archetype. In addition, the superhuman feat of bringing an object to life demonstrates the Task archetype: “infusing life . . . inanimate body” (55). Nevertheless, imagery and the Death and Rebirth archetype are utilized during the night as Victor dreams of Elizabeth dying, which foreshadows her death: “I slept . . . his cheeks” (55-56). Moreover, the Unhealable...

...economic events that influence a child. So what is Erikson's Stages of Development? In this essay we will discuss this matter. Erikson life-stage virtues, in order of the eight stages in which they may be acquired, are: 1. Basic trust vs. basic mistrust - This stage covers the period of infancy. 0-1 year of age. - Whether or not the baby develops basic trust or basic mistrust is not merely a matter of nurture. It depends on the quality of the maternal relationship. If successful, the baby develops a sense of trust, which “forms the basis in the child for a sense of identity“. 2. Autonomy vs. Shame - Covers early childhood - Introduces the concept of autonomy vs. shame and doubt. During this stage the child is trying to master toilet training. 3. Purpose - Initiative vs. Guilt - Preschool / 3–6 years - Does the child have the ability to or do things on their own, such as dress him or herself? If "guilty" about making his or her own choices, the child will not function well.. 4. Competence- Industry vs. Inferiority - School-age / 6-11. Child comparing self-worth to others (such as in a classroom environment). Child can recognize major disparities in personal abilities relative to other children. 5. Fidelity- Identity vs. Role Confusion - Adolescent / 12 years till 20. Questioning of self. Who am I, how do I fit in? Erikson believes, that if the parents allow...

..."30 Days" The "30 Days" episode on FX, by Morgan Spurlock, that I chose to watch was season two's "Atheists vs. Christians". This show is about a 30 day challenge to take a walk in someone else's shoes, this episode featuring an atheist woman staying with a Christian family. With only 5% of our nations population claiming Atheism as their religion and over 70% claiming some form of Christianity this was definitely a challenge for Brenda, 46, who left her entire family for 30 days to live with Michael and Tracy a practicing Christian couple. Personally, I do not believe the challenge was as successful as Brenda would have hoped for but, still there were successes on both sides of the spectrum. On Michael's side I would have to say there...
