...someone or some can hurt you in bullying. Bullying is a big problem because more and more kids get bullied every day. That should stop immediately; children do not deserve that kind of treatment at school and at other places. It is frustrating. [pic] Hard to deal with a bully. Maybe a bully shows up at your soccer practice or even at a park or where you are and bullies you. I am disappointed at those bullies out there. [pic] I have information to support this serious problem that is going on; [pic] it affects over 60 of [pic]kids in the world, I want to stop that. [pic] On this chart what it shows is, to me I see that in fourth grade there is a lot of bullying, [pic] there is less in the fifth grade for some reason than it sky rockets in sixth, seventh and eighth grade. The reason for this information about grade bullying is that more kids bully and more. [pic] I used to think that the bullying is evened out, but know I realize that as you get older there are more bullies. The chart that I showed shows the percent of kids getting bullied in grade order. [pic]I know this is upsetting, but many people are admitting that they have bullying or said something mean or threatening to someone else. [pic]On my chart it says how many children have bullied. In fourth grade it goes up high on the charts, but goes down in the fifth grade. In the sixth, seventh and eighth it gradually goes up. This makes me realize from my perspective that too many...

...The Wonders of MANHATTAN By Luke Lindgren Manhattan is one of the five boroughs of New York City, which are Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Staton Island, and the Bronx. Manhattan is the largest and most-visited borough, largely because it has very famous attractions like Times Square, Broadway, The Empire State Building, and Central Park, just to name a few. The Population of Manhattan, based off the 2012 Census, is 1,619,090. I am now going to tell you about a few things you can do at some of the attractions. Go to Times Square! Times Square is one of the largest attractions of the world, has some of the tallest buildings in America, and many amazing celebrations and stores.

...so many weeds intermixed. Simile They were remembering gold or a yellow crayon or a coin large enough to build the world with. Metaphor They always awoke to the tatting drum, the endless snaking of clear bead necklaces upon the roof. Metaphor They turned on themselves, like a feverish wheel, all fumbling spokes. Simile She was an old photograph dusted from an album, whitened away and if she spoke at all her voice would be a ghosts. Metaphor It’s like a penny. Simile The great jungle that covered Venus, that grew and never stopped growing, tumultuously, even as you watched it. It was a nest of octopi, clustering up great arms of fleshlike week, wavering, flowering in this brief spring. Metaphor You could write an essay about what Ray Bradbury is saying about mob mentality in "All Summer and a Day". "All Summer in a Day" shows Margot, the quiet, invisible outcast of the class, being singled out by the rest of her classmates, after telling everyone the sun would come out. The sun never comes out on Venus, making this an extraordinary deal. The deal was too much for the class, and the students display a term called "mob mentality." Mob mentality is, unfortunately, very common within society. Human beings don't like dramatic changes in their environment, especially when it is out of the ordinary. When someone comes along and...

...Besides being produced and disseminated by independent theatre companies, independent films are also distributed and produced by firms of major film studios. These independent films are commonly distinguishable by their style and content as well as the way the personal artistic vision of the filmmaker is realized (O’Meara, 2014). Generally, independent films are produced with considerably lesser film budgets compared to major studio films. Also, the marketing of these films is usually marked by limited release, though they can also have major promoting campaigns as well as wide release. They are usually screened at international, national, or local film festivals before being distributed (O’Meara, 2014). This paper presents a biographical essay of three independent film producers; Woody Allen, Wes Anderson, and Noah Baumbach Woody Allen Woody Allen is an American writer, playwright, comedian, actor, and director. He was born in 1935 in the Bronx (Girgus, 2002). However, he was raised in Brooklyn, a town in New York. Allen was the son of Nettie, a book keeper, and Martin Konigsberg, a waiter and a jewelry engraver. He had a sister named Letty and was born in 1943. Allen’s family was Ashkenazi Jewish. .Allen’s childhood was not for the most part happy. Besides having a shaky relationship with his uncompromising and temperamental mother, Allen’s parents did not cope (Girgus, 2002). He spoke Germany rather bit in his early childhood. While going to Hebrew school for a period of eight...

...To the reader, I bet you are wondering what this is all about, or perhaps who I even am. Let us start with a greeting, shall we? Hi, I’m Celina Gonzales, a college freshman taking up BS Legal Management. This E-portfolio encapsulates my entire writing journey of sorts in my ENGLCOM (Basic Communication and Study Skills) course throughout the second term of my first year in university. In here, you will be able to read about various ideas—from the meaning of the word “infinite” beyond the concept taught to us in our Math classes, to the causes of the Philippines’ lagged progress (no, it is not solely due to corruption), and, well, Korean Pop. With all these topics mentioned, I hope you appreciate how much I have grown in terms of flexibility, as I was never comfortable with writing beyond my interests. The entire journey was a roller coaster, thanks to the great deal of papers that came with strict deadlines, high standards, along with numerous revisions inked in either pink, green, red, or blue. However, I believe that all those days figuring out how exactly my professors want me to revise parts of my papers and whatnot are worth it—The innumerable scratch papers that I was armed with in the beginning of the term are gone. I can now write an article of great quality without having to frantically jot down my ideas on a separate sheet of paper. I believe that this growth of mine is impossible without my professors. Therefore, I would like to extend my gratitude to them: To...

A nd while they deserve news, their questions ring chaotic in my ears. Remind ers of the commotion outside, of people expecting more, pushing ahead. A non - stop pace. Existence outside oneself. I pause and tell them I need a minute. Just one second and the door closes. Eyes and ears shut. I am alone again. City melts, and questions q uietly float away. I can remember the soft wind and red stones. With silence around, I can breathe again. To a certain kind of mind, what is hidden ceases to exist. My grandmother wanted me to tell her everything.

...The short story The short story -- Alice Munro an exception, (perhaps) -- is an illustration of one facet of human nature. Often a character undergoes some event and experiences something which offers him change. This is why it's said that short stories usually "say something", often a narrow or small something, but sometimes delivered with such precision that the effect is exquisite, even a life-moment for the reader, something akin to a religious experience or seeing a never-to-be-repeated scene in nature. For a minute, let me remind you that, for me, the perfect short story is written with a poet's feel for language, with a poet's precision, and that the shape and sounds and rhythms of the words are more commonly part of the work's effect than is usually seen in the novel. In a poem, the bare words are virtually never the complete meaning. They interact, their sounds do things, and how they are placed on the page matters. The poem tries to create a nugget of truth, an insight into being human and the form is so tight, so sparse that we can argue over exact meanings long into the smoke-laden night. Elements and Characteristics of Short Stories Short stories tend to be less complex than novels. Usually, a short story will focus on only one incident, has a single plot, a single setting, a limited number of characters, and covers a short period of time. In longer forms of fiction, stories tend to contain certain core elements of dramatic structure: exposition (the introduction...

...A Visit To An Exhibition Recently an exhibition was held in our town. It was not so big and grand as the recent any metro city fair, yet it was remarkable in its own way. It was a very modest shows nevertheless it was represented and well attended. It was organized by the district authorities to encourage the introduction of cottage industries in villages. The district collector, RDO and the local leaders took a keen interest and put up a very good show. Never before had we realized that our village possessed such as vast scope for the development of cottage industries. We all felt that a vast heap of wealth was lying unused in villages. The exhibition was held in the vast grounds of the banks of the river Cauvery. A temporary fence was erected on all sides and temporary stalls were built to accommodate exhibits of different articles. The exhibitions lasted for about a week and were attended by thousands of people. Buying and selling worth thousands of rupees was done. The district authorities were pleased with its success.
