...of Friendship “A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.” - Jim Morrison It is very important to show your true you to people who trust you. I know that it is hard to trust a person especially if you experienced to be hurt by your friend but your trust will go back when you find the right person to trust. You will know that he/she is the right one if you can be yourself with him/her. You can totally be stupid around him/her. There’s a big difference between friendship and love so don’t get confused. Friendship is really a meaningful word. Others use “friendship” as their pen names but I give importance to the word friendship. It’s really a big deal for me when it comes to friendship. I was a second year high school when I have a friend that I really trust that started to ruin my reputation when we become juniors (third year high school). I started to treat her as my best friend but I was wrong. She told stories to my other classmates and it spread so fast that a lot of my classmates don’t want to talk to me. The thing is that, I treated her right and that I didn’t do anything to her so I got really mad when I found out that she’s making up stories behind my back to ruin my reputation in school. Because of that experienced, I learned that the word “insecure” also exist on people no matter who they are to you. I learned that other people don’t value friendship that much instead they give importance in the word “insecure”. It also teaches me to be...

...”The Order of Things” Carl is about forty, he is six feet tall, he has pale eyes, angular features and light hair. He’s married to a teacher and he has a daughter. He lives in Worland, with his wife and daughter. Carl and Lily met at a softball game, when they both were sitting and watching their spouses play the outfield. They had everything in common, and soon they began talking. Carl had been thinking of her all his time I Worland, they just hadn’t been speaking. But that day, they sat and talked while watching the game. They felt an intimate connection, even when they weren’t talking. Carl just felt something about her, he couldn’t ignore and apparently they agreed to meet three weeks later. They met at Super 8, a motel south of Cody, where they apparently had their first time together. After that, they were seeing each other in different places, different motels and hotels. In time, their relationship turned into a serious thing. They were seeing each other every Sunday morning, meeting and making out. They were in love and they made plans about the future. They would both get a divorce with their currently spouses, when Carl’s daughter was out of high school in two years. Carl had never felt so comfortable with anybody but her, and he felt it easy to touch her and be with her. He felt much happier with her, than with his wife. I think it’s kind of strange, that they can have a relationship like that. In the dark. I understand, that they have to keep it a secret, but...

...Parents Allow me to be the first one who stands before you today, and admit that I’ve been a bad daughter… I’ve made so many mistakes, and said so many things that only God’s great mercy could forgive such an ignorance… my teenage years were a dark whole in my life, I used to think it was all because of my mother, but the truth is… it was nobody’s fault but mine. You see, the only mistake mom has made was dreaming that I could be the best, but the only thing I could think of, was that she was actually making me cry on purpose, I thought she was enjoying that torture. So I hated her. They say, the last thing a dying person would do, is the thing his entire life was all about… I remember the day she was about to die… the only person she asked to see, was me… how could it be? The bad mother who always made me cry wanted ME to be the last person she sees before she dies! My mother didn’t die, all thanks to God, but that made me realize so many things that I was too blind to see… in the video, the boy was too embarrassed by his one eye mother… we all think he’s the devil, but… we should make a stop and remember what WE did… you see, each one of us, has been given an eye from their mom and dad, and at some point of our lives, we all felt ashamed of it… bad hearing, bad vision… maybe your father keeps asking you to repeat things you say cause he keeps forgetting about them… “Hurry up mom! You’re so slow… you’re embarrassing me!” … can’t you see?? She CAN’T go any faster! She had enough...

...provides two response options, “reserve it now” and “hold it now”. Each bottom lists what exactly it offers and requires. The first option requires a commitment of $10 deposit offering more advantages and the other one, additional compared to “reserve it now”, do not. I voted for Version B, which provides multiple options. The reason why I chose B instead of A is because I thought consumers usually prefer to have more options and details when they make purchasing or spending choices. When people purchase online, they usually are less secure, so they need more information about it. The version B actually won, it indeed conducted more completed holds and reservations. But the thing that surprised me is that with more options the clickthroughs rate decreased. From this test I learn that KISS (keep it simple, stupid) is not always the best practice. The version A, which is simpler, did not bring more desired result. The more complex version B instead, decreasing costumer’s clicks, but more brought more successful...

...A Catcher in the Rye: Essay!!! Feelings are difficult, everyone who has ever experienced; love, pain, rejection, happiness etc. honestly doesn’t know what is causing that feeling or why they feel that way. We react to events with things called emotions, which are types of feelings; they are pretty different from things that happen to you physically. They can make you feel empowered, beat up, stupid, important and many other things. Physical feelings basically go just as fast as they came. Whereas, mental feelings linger and have much more of an effect on how you look at yourself as a person. They can weigh on your mind for hours, days, sometimes even years. This is why being able to talk to people is important. You need to be able to express yourself with confidence. Mainly because if you don’t know how to talk to someone you won’t be able to speak about how you feel and will eventually drive yourself mad. But the important thing is that we speak to the ones who build us up and not knock us down. We never really find out who or what type of people they are until they reject us in our time of need, and then we recognize their true colors. In this novel “The Catcher in the Rye,” Holden has this MAJOR mixture of emotions that he simply cannot handle alone. First off pick the time and correct place to be venting to someone about your feelings so that they aren’t overly shocked by what you are telling them. What Holden could have done, considering he has been getting “the axe”...

I can take my pay at the end of every month and go stay at a cat house.” He laughed harder, “Hell maybe I'll even be able to get myself a girl! Now that I aint got no stupid bastard lingering behind me anymore.” George began to weep “At least one of my dreams came true.” Tears hit the wooden floor as George sobbed and sobbed. The first ray of moonlight shone through a window onto Slim's hanging head. An old gentleman who's face could not be seen sat in a corner making no movements at all. A mouse scurried across the bar before the bartender crushed it with his own fist, “Damn rats, nasty things they are.” “Yeah, nasty things they are,” George cleared his throat, “I'll throw that away for you.” The bartender waved him off, “Oh no sir thats fi-” but George had already scooped the mouse up and walked away. George looked down at the little thing, lifeless in his...

...Life is never an easy course, but everyone is obliged to be enrolled, some would fail, but who cares? You could repeat it again and again. Failing is not an excuse for one to stop for at any given end is a wall, a wall that we could destroy. A choice, for whatever choice we will be doing one should remember a thing, that it should have him as a beneficiary. Life is nevertheless an endless battle, a battle that only great minds could surpass. Great minds nurtured by experience and few hurtful bumps. Experience and bumps that molded and made them ten times they were before. One should not give up upon defeat. Everyone knows that a fall could be a difficult place for one to stand, but isn’t it great that knowing its difficulty one can still managed to stand. A try is much greater than just accepting a fall. One should keep in mind that, life is a difficult course that even stupid people could manage if we could only learn to try, shed a tear, wipe it all out and stand. Life maybe too cozy yet to vast to be dealt with. We find it hard to focus on what life could be for us. Many people are too narrow to access the pleasures that life’s giving them. They focus on things that are not worth the stress and the hassles that one could be at. Life’s catastrophe never shuts. It’s in constant motion. And it talks about how are we able to make it up until the climax of the story. We often go beyond our league trying to find the solution that is an obvious one. We contradict what...

...per capita, the wealthiest area in Atlanta. This change has led me to recognize and value growth and progress. I had a fortunate upbringing and I expect my future to be no less prosperous, and if it holds anything less for me I would consider my self a failure. I have become so accustomed to living with nice things in an affluent area, and anything less just would not feel right. From the time I was born to when I first went to school I lived in the same area and in the same house. It is hard to say how this has affected me, but I am well aware that changing location repeatedly can have a negative effect on a child. The house I lived in was relatively nice. It was a common middle-class home; not big but by no means was it small. The house we moved in to in 1994 was larger and in a much nicer neighborhood. Both neighborhoods I lived in were very nice and, in the future, I could not see myself living in anything less suitable. Although it can be hard to remember, I did not have any major family problems in my pre-school years; no deaths in the family, divorce, or anything else equally detrimental. Obviously most people would consider this a very good thing. It has made me a...

...Define the functions and role of law in business and society. Discuss the functions and role of law in your past or present job or industry. Bryan Richardson September 29, 2013 LAW 421 Without laws neither business nor society would function civilly. The only way a society and businesses can coexist is through the laws that we the people created. If you could remove the laws that govern criminal activity from murder to dealing drugs, I really don’t have to say what the outcome would be; in fact you could probably measure it up to a country like Egypt because that country is in total chaos since almost 8 out of every 10 women get raped daily. Without laws our country would look a lot differently if you’re looking from the outside in, the view from the outside is one of respect because of the high standards our country has placed on itself. If there were no laws and regulations in business then we would have abuse of employees, the quality of the product is also governed by laws. If these laws didn’t exist we could either be dead or seriously ill due to contamination for some substance that shouldn’t have been used to make the product in the first place. The law also deals with protecting the citizens of our great nation so that there is little to worry about when we open our doors at night to take out the trash or walk to the nearest park to play catch with our dogs or letting our children loose at the jungle gym to swing. But there is something missing, our country is...

In the story, The thing without a name the character Popo was a carpenter in which the narrator came in contact with, however Popo never finished a task in which he began. This can be seen in the very beginning: “The only thing that Popo, who called himself a carpenter, ever built was a little galvanized-iron workshop under the mango tree at the back of his yard. And even that he didn’t quite finish.” (15) Popo was a man that struggled with the need to be accepted by his peers, those on Miguel street did not like Popo the considered “a man-woman. Not a proper man.” (17). He was also very insecure and didn’t have confidence in his profession even though he was so proud of his sign, “ Popo liked standing up in front of the sign. But he had a little panic when people who didn’t know about him came to inquire.” (16) Though he wasn’t like by many he was also charismatic, and willingly to speak to anyone who would lend an ear. The narrator described him as someone who loved to talked, “ Popo was always ready to talk” There are three antagonists in the short story The Thing without a Name found in Miguel Street.

...The richest man in the world explains how to save the planet. At 58, Bill Gates is not only the richest man in the world, with a fortune that now exceeds $76 billion, but he may also be the most optimistic. In his view, the world is a giant operating system that just needs to be debugged. Gates' driving idea – the idea that animates his life, that guides his philanthropy, that keeps him late in his sleek book-lined office overlooking Lake Washington, outside Seattle – is the hacker's notion that the code for these problems can be rewritten, that errors can be fixed, that huge systems – whether it's Windows 8, global poverty or climate change – can be improved if you have the right tools and the right skills. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the philanthropic organization with a $36 billion endowment that he runs with his wife, is like a giant startup whose target market is human civilization. Personally, Gates has very little Master of the Universe swagger and, given the scale of his wealth, his possessions are modest: three houses, one plane, no yachts. He wears loafers and khakis and V-neck sweaters. He often needs a haircut. His glasses haven't changed much in 40 years. For fun, he attends bridge tournaments.

...1 Plato’s Meno trans. by J. Holbo & B. Waring (©2002) MENO: Can you tell me, Socrates, is virtue the sort of thing you can teach someone? Or is it the sort of thing no one can teach you, but you pick it up by practicing it? Or maybe it’s neither: virtue is something people are born with, or something they get some other way? SOCRATES: Thessalians used to have a good reputation among Greeks, Meno – for being such good riders and for being so rich; now, it seems, they are famous for wisdom, particularly your friend and fellow citizen, Aristippus of Larissa. The credit goes to Gorgias, for when he moved to your city the leading Aleuadae – your lover Aristippus among them – fell in love with his wisdom, and so did the other leading Thessalians. Specifically, he got all of you into the habit of giving sweeping and confident answers to any questions put to you – as if you were all experts. In fact, he himself was always ready to answer any question put by any Greek; all questions answered. On the other hand, here in Athens, my dear Meno, the opposite is the case. Here it’s as though there were a wisdom drought; it has all drained away to where you come from. So if you want to put this sort of question to one of us, everyone will have a good laugh and say to you: ‘Good stranger, you must think I am a lucky man, to know whether virtue can be taught or not, or where it comes from. Me, I’m so far from knowing whether virtue can be taught or not that I don’t even know what it is.’...
