family. With that being said, after about twenty years of blocking out my childhood memories, I was suddenly drawn back to my roots; I wanted to become a publicized nonentity and escape from everyone and everything. Dreaming of becoming your twenty-first century Thoreau, I sought to be alone to reflect and rebuild.…
class. The English composition segue class is an excellent class to help students transition from high school to college, especially in writing. However when It first came to my knowledge that I had this class I did not believe this. I did not get out at of this class as much as I could of, however I did learn a lot. My experience as a segue student taught me writing, college, and even real world skills. Throughout my life my struggle spot in school has been writing. Whenever I know that I need…
and that is just one part of the many things I have to juggle on a daily basis. Although I say these things, I completely agree and see where you are coming from. In that regard, I believe that I have a compromise that will not just satisfy only you two, but me as well. In my first paragraph I said that I agreed and saw where you both were coming from. I would like to further elaborate on that. What I meant when I said that was, I know you push me to…
This group is for women that has experienced sexual assault, either physically or mentally. The group’s purpose is a safe place for women to talk about their experience and come to acceptance with what has happened. Also, to grow from the situation instead of the opposite. We would have the group meet in a private room on campus. The setup of the room would be, have the chair in a circle so that no one will feel excluded. There will be a table with refreshments such as, cookies, water, and…

Lily is left waiting for Alfie to…
wriggle out from under our thumbs just when we think we have them figured out. This leaves us engaged, wondering about motivations, hanging on actions and words. Morality always seems to be just out of reach in The Handmaiden and Park-wook 's indulgences as a storyteller keep those themes slightly blurred from our periphery. Personally, some time could have been shaved off the final product for better efficiency, and reportedly a version that runs a half hour longer is potentially coming as a…
“Land, land!” I was out playing with my childhood friend when we heard shouting. What we caught a glimpse of was the strangest thing we could possibly think. We were hidden behind the trees so that ‘it’ could not see us. What could they possibly be? As my curiosity grew stronger, I could no longer help it and went out to meet them. My friend tried to stop me, but was unable to, so he had no choice but to follow me in my adventure. Once they noticed us, they tried speaking to us in a language we…
because since she is locked in her room, it represents how she felt trapped in her marriage with Brently and she could not positively express herself. When Josephine goes to check on Louise, she tells her to go away. While Josephine begs her to come out, Louise remembers that “it was only yesterday she had thought with a shudder that life might be long” (Chopin 2). With this thought, it shows how while being alone upstairs, she feels so close close to freedom, she can almost reach it. It also…
thought she was saying. Not only not picking up on the tone of her voice and her actions prevented me from seeing that I was not really understanding what she was truly saying to me. It would have also helped us both if she had just come out and stated that she was moving out and going to a place that would be helping her on a twenty-four hour basis would have helped also. Being rushed through a conversation can also lead to miscommunication on both parties involved in that conversation. As…
As Margot came out of the closet, she started to cry again. She cried faintly in the room. “I didn’t mean to do that. I don’t know what I was thinking” said William. “I was just so jealous you’ve seen the sun before. I had to do something. I’m sorry.” Margot only kept crying. “What’s going on in here?” asked the teacher. “We pushed Margot in the closet and locked her in there so she couldn’t see the sun” the children said in sync. “Margot! Is this true?!”…
