...Give You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. For what are your possessions but things you keep and guard for fear you may need them tomorrow? And tomorrow, what shall tomorrow bring to the over prudent dog burying bones in the trackless sand as he follows the pilgrims to the holy city? And what is fear of need but need itself? Is not dread of thirst when your well is full, thirst that is unquenchable? There are those who give little of the much which they have and they give it for recognition and their hidden desire makes their gifts unwholesome. And there are those who have little and give it all. These are the believers in life and the bounty of life, and their coffer is never empty. There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward. And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism. And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue; They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space. Though the hands of such as these God speaks, and from behind their eyes He smiles upon the earth. It is well to give when asked, but it is better to give unasked, through understanding; And to the open-handed the search for one who shall receive is joy greater than giving And is there aught you would withhold...

...Give by Simon Armitage Subject Give is about homelessness and the way in which society reacts to beggars. The poet has adopted the persona of a homeless person to challenge the reader directly, although initially there is some ambiguity about the speaker: in the first stanza the word "dear" suggests an intimate connection between the speaker and audience. Later it becomes clear that the speaker is creating a "scene" by asking for money. Structure and language Form and Structure The poem is regular in form, divided into five stanzas, each of two or three lines, with a strict eight-syllable count to form a strong metre. The first stanza is a rhyming couplet, which accentuates the strong rhythm. Armitage also uses repeated structures in this poem: the third stanza, for example, has three parallel lines introduced by metals of increasing value. The drama of this parallelism peaks in the final stanza, which has four short sentences over two lines: You give me tea. That's big of you.I'm on my knees. I beg of you. The way the two lines mirror each other - to the extent that the last sentence of each is very nearly identical - juxtaposes the beggar and "you", letting the reader compare the two characters. This is also a rhyming couplet because the last words are the same. What could the structure be used for? Perhaps by following a strict structure and rhythm, Armitage is helping create a sense that the beggar is educated, possibly to surprise the reader. And is it significant that the...

...It is easy to say something is hard to do if you never tried doing it. This saying hits home for me because there was a time I thought I could not play sports or thought that it would be a struggle because I had asthma. After beating myself up over not having the courage to try, my friends encouraged me to try out for basketball. When starting out it was a little hard to run and bounce the ball at the same time, it took even more energy and effort to shoot the ball. This did not help in keeping my spirit high. I felt defeated and stopped trying. While feeling bad about not being good right away I remembered what my mom told me “Everything does not come easy, you have to work for it”. This made me feel better and I practiced every day after school until I learned how to play the game. Now basketball is my favourite sport, if I had not tried it wouldn’t have been possible for me to brag about my accomplishments today. If you do not try to do something, you will never know if you are good at it. Confidence is the key when it comes to trying something new. Don’t be a failure by thinking you cannot do something or not even try. When making a mistake, try harder the next time and it will eventually become easy. You will be very happy and pleases with yourself when you try to do something and succeed. When attempting to do something put in the effort so you can be the best at it. I have learned that not trying is worst than trying and failing. I have so much...

...Never Give Up” There is no such thing as an ending Just a new beginning. I think this quote is awesome, and has a lot of meaning in my life. To me this quote literally mean, “never give up” when I say never I mean never God does everything for a reason. So I never complain neither do I ever give up. Basically everything good I do with school or education wise is because I choose to. I know what I want in life so that's what I'm going to fight for until I get it. I have a good parents but when it comes to supporting me education wise, I never really had that. I am at the age where as though I don't let that bother me, because I know “ in the end of my new beginning” I know they will be proud of me. I really don't have a support system, it's really only me supporting my self. I mean I have people that care but don't support me. I have my days when I just wanna break down & emotionally cry and give up because I feel so alone not having anybody support me. Until I jump back to reality and “never give up” no matter how hard or how difficulty it get I will always keep trying. You always have to go through lemons to get to lemonade is my Moto. I honesty feel as though I came to far to give up! I am a very good well matured teenager, I am 17 years of age, I have 2 jobs. I work at tropical smoothie café on broad Cecil b-Moore and checkers in southwest Philadelphia. I am currently...

...Adam Grant, the author of Give and Take, describes and compares the takers and the givers throughout his book. Takers do not maintain the relationships that do not benefit them, while the givers are willing to maintain all relationships. As stated by Grant, takers and givers are similar in a way that they both have large networks, but takers only approach networks to benefit themselves. Grant has provided a great example of how a taker approach relationships to profit himself. According to Give and Take, “If you wanted to get [Ken] Lay to attend a meeting, you need to invite someone important” (32). Like all other takers, Lay is a taker who likes to mingle with powerful people who are going to be useful for him. However, takers may be able to approach relationships but it is hard for them to maintain relationships because people tend to stay away from takers. For instance, one of my classmates in elementary school was a good faker, and she approached me to fulfil her needs. She got close to me because she wanted to eat lunch at my house. By the end of the school year, my mother found out that she is a taker because she was not willing to help me when I needed her help. This experience have taught me that...

...Humanities; 2* 09/5/10 The song “Give Me Novocain” by the band Green Day reveals a sense of suffering, and the use of drugs to help ease pain. The chorus “Drain the pressure from the swelling / This sensation’s over whelming/ Give me a long kiss goodnight and everything will be alright/ Tell me Jimmy I won’t feel a thing/ So give me Novocain.” This bluntly shows that what ever point of view this is coming from that person is very clearly suffering and is using drugs as a way to escape from it. The beat of the drums and the guitar is slow at first, then changes to a more up beat tone, hinting at the drugs raging through a person’s system. The slower beat that the song returns to is the high. It’s the calm that a person feels when the are worry free. When I first heard this song I had no reason to believe it was about anything than what was being obviously sung about. But when I listened to the lyrics it revealed the suffering that we as humans go through and what some people will do to escape, even if only for a matter of hours. It made me think about all the times I wished I could escape from something as simple as my mother. I changed my way of dealing with things from then on. Instead of wishing I could just get away by any means possible, or punching walls, I would just think about everything I have that is worth staying for. Everything I did both in thought and in action changed slightly. I never thought about wanting to run away or get at my mom and instead of hitting...

...Give The Land Back Native Americans have been subjected to some of the most inhumane atrocities. What about the land we walk upon makes it ours to occupy? Hundreds of years ago, one of the greatest forms of violence nearly wiped out America’s original owners from existence. What’s worse is that the bloodshed of the Native peoples has become almost invisible to the everyday American, while what’s left of the previouslyindigenous population feeds off of the scraps White society has left for them. With this in mind, the most ethical actions the United States can do is return its stolen land. Thus, the United States federal government should give the land back to the Native Americans. The land that we currently reside on doesn’t belong to us, we stole it from the indigenous tribes that populated it before our arrival. Americans are so unaware of their own history that they don’t even recognize the atrocities committed against the Natives. The federal governments owes the Natives their original land, the reservations they currently live in are a testament to the oppression that occurred since Columbus sailed the seas. If not for the federal government who can say what the Natives could be doing now, it was our hand that saw to their demise. To exterminate a society like theirs, we began with supplementing Abrahamic religions for Indian culture, this effectively made Indian culture disappear. Culture was not the only victim in our oppressive actions, the Trail of Tears slaughtered over 2...

...still struggled with regaining the same strength and agility I had before, due to the lack of playing time I lost, but I never gave up. Unfortunately, I underwent the same circumstances when playing my junior year. It hurts to have something that you love taken away from you. When my playing time was taken from me a second time, my confidence and hope was lowered significantly. My love for the game, however, never wavered. After the school season ended, I went on to play volleyball on a travelling team again. Being able to be on the court and doing what I loved brought back the confidence and hope that I had lost before. Playing volleyball has had an enormous impact on my life. The most important thing I learned from playing was to never give up. If I hadn’t been persistent, defying the ups and downs and continuously learning throughout the journey, I wouldn’t be the person I am...

...Give Me Liberty! Give Us Suffrage! “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!” This famous quote used by Patrick Henry during his Virginia Convention speech was the declaration of the many persons who faced injustice and inequality in America. The United States of America was said to be the land of opportunity and prosperity, but opportunity and prosperity for whom? Terms and conditions were not stipulated upon living in or relocating to America that liberty would only be available to those that qualified. Prior to the 1900’s most of America’s population did not enjoy the full blessings of American Liberty. There were many factors during the 19th century that contributed to being afforded and denied American Liberty. While it was easier for white men with wealth and property to exercise full liberty, the color of ones skin, race, or sex was a hindrance to others wanting to enjoy the benefits of full liberty. During the 19th century, the United States was a “white man’s government.” Whites mainly associated liberty with ownership of property. Therefore, if one owned property, they were entitled to enjoy the benefits of liberty. However, the only persons that owned property prior to reconstruction were white wealthy men. White men in America during reconstruction wanted to keep the “privilege” of liberty to themselves. White men during reconstruction also wanted to keep the right to vote to themselves. According to J. Morgan Kousser “A man with a ballot in his hand is the master...

...The teacher entered the classroom and told us to sit down. Silence immediately filled the room as the teacher turned towards the blackboard. Words “Sonnet 18 - one of the most inspiring poems of William Shakespeare" appeared in front of my eyes. "Please, spare me." - I groaned before switching to my "snooze off" mode. It was one of those boring-to-death Literature lessons, and I was trying with all my might not to fall asleep. The teacher in the front of me started interpreting the poem. Five minutes did not pass when the tears were threatening to spill from my tired-looking eyes; I was doing my best to suppress yet another yawn. Taking notes and trying to stay awake, I pondered over a question. How can a subject possibly be so uninteresting? On every lesson, the teacher would go on forever about how ingenious the poet's use of verbs was, and how wonderfully he or she described the situation while using only a few words. She also never seemed to miss an opportunity to praise the author's brilliance while creating the characters. "How could it be possible for a literary work to be flawless?" – I asked myself waiting for my classmates' reaction; however, nobody seemed to dare to oppose the teacher's viewpoint. I decided to become the "pioneer". My chance came when we were learning about "The Miserable Ones" by Victor Hugo. My teacher immediately divided the characters into two separate compartments labelled "good" and "bad". I could not comprehend the teacher's notion...

Sa munting taon niya, nararanasan na niyang maalipin sa malupit na kamay ng amo. Tunghayan natin ang kwento ni Amelia. Ate Charo:: Sa isang isla may naninirahang mag-asawa. At dahil sa kanilang tiwala sa isa’t-isa napatibay nila ang kanilang pagmamahal at dahil dito nabuo ang kanilang anak na pinangalanang Amelia. Habang bata pa si Amelia ipinamigay na nail siya sa mayamng pamilya dahil sa kahirapan ng buhay. Tatay: Mahal, ang hirap ng buhay parang di ko na kaya na buhayin pa si Amelia. Kung kayat ipamigay natin sa mayamang pamilya para hindi siya mahirapng mabuhay. Nanay: oo mahal naawa ako ky Amelia kapag wala siyang nadede at nakakain, kay mas ipamigay nalang natin sa mga Reyes.

...“What gives you pleasure?” and “What makes you feel good?” Those are questions I don’t really often ask myself. It’s not like they are hard questions but to me in actuality they are. I always wonder with these types of questions if I am giving the right answer or if there is even a right answer. I don’t think there is a right or wrong answer in general. The best answer is the one you give. We all have our own definition of pleasure and what makes us feel good. What brings me the most pleasure and makes me feel good first and foremost are my kids. I was told I would never be able to have kids, but God has blessed me with two beautiful girls. I enjoy all my time with them both. I guess you could also say that being a mom also brings me pleasure and makes me feel good. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else in the world. I never pictured myself the mother type but it suits me. Being a mom to my girls is something that brings me joy; makes my heart swell up with pride just knowing that I made those girls and they love me no matter what. Of course other things in this world bring me pleasure and make me feel good. Things such as friends and family, music, sweets like chocolate, and big bear hugs. I love having an intimate relationship with my best friend; it gives me no greater pleasure to know that I am sharing my life forever with him. I also enjoy jumping in my car and going for a ride with the windows down and music blasting, not a care in the world and nowhere to be. I have...
