Childhood Is The Kingdom Where
967 Words - 4 Pages

.... as a depressing relalization of no no longer having the innocents the being a child provides. I think Edna must have experinced a tragic loss of someone in her life who meant a great deal to her. I also think that she wishes she had spent more time with this person, or at least enjoyed the time they spent together more. The first and second lines of this poem are very true. "Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age the child is grown and puts away childish things" (1,2). I think what Edna is trying to express is that when you reach a particular age you don't just start being an adult. Being an adult is not something you just wake up one day a ....


Time Makes A Big Difference
674 Words - 3 Pages

.... bad because they can't think straight. Also, kids get headaches, get tired, and get bored. I could keep on going, but I think you get the picture. There are so many different reasons. I think everyone would agree with my suggestion. I think the biggest problem the students face is that school lasts to long. Now, I'll tell you a little more about that subject. Notice how more kids get in trouble at the end of the day than at the beginning? The reason is so simple to understand! Kids get restless when they are bored for a long time. That's another area where my idea would help. It would shorten the day from 7 hours to 4 hours. A 3 hour difference! Kids also daydrea ....


Love Is Like...the Universe
524 Words - 2 Pages

.... the little pockets of gas which grow until they form clouds. In the same manner, love evolves from minute infatuations and occurrences. Both are revealed little by little over time until you start looking at the entire picture. In addition, in the galaxy, the constellation’s positions and appearance change as time goes by, and just like the cosmos, love changes as well. For example, while old stars die, new stars are created. This is like losing the "old feelings" a person used to have. Yet at the same time, new affection develops. Furthermore, changes in the galaxy are very subtle; in the identical fashion, love matures in a delicate, but in a very precise way. It ta ....


College Life
490 Words - 2 Pages

.... in the top three rankings, but I completed the race and beat my personal record. Like my finish line, my final months of high school come into view. But this race is not like any other; there is no finish line. High school graduation is my finish line and college is my next goal. This is the biggest race of my life as I realize that wanting to grow up so fast to become an adult isn’t what it seems like when your just a little kid. Where do you want to go and how do I plan on achieving to become successful are just a few of the many questions that run through my mind as I plan for . All of these are small hurdles; compared to the biggest question of all, what career path do ....


Online Addiction
739 Words - 3 Pages

.... society has generally praised computers without reservation as an incredible intellectual tool. Only recently have we begun to weed out the hype from the reality and realize that there are unpleasant side effects to computing as well. Webster's Concise Dictionary defines addiction as "a habit so strong that one cannot give it up." We are all aware that people form addictions to many things, from cocaine to gambling. References to alcoholism, "workaholism," even "chocoholism," are commonplace throughout our society. The idea that people can form addictions to computing is a relatively new one, but quickly gaining ground. Take for instance my brother, who was once an ....


Cuando Cae La Noche

.... una crisis y el desarrollo de esa crisis, pero no una restitución de el equilibrio; por eso al leer Carver, el lector debe considerar que no se va a encontrar con la narrativa normal, a la que tal vez, esté acostumbrado. En el cuento que da titulo al libro " De que hablamos...", se nos presenta a dos parejas que discuten sobre lo que es el amor para cada uno de ellos.Los personajes principales son: Mel McGinnis, su segunda esposa Teresa ( a la que llamaban Terri ), Nick ( el narrador de la historia ) y su esposa Laura; Mel es cardiólogo y Laura es secretaria juridica.El espacio físico donde se va a desarrollar la acción, es la cocina de la casa de Mel; este e ....


Public Schools Vs. Private Sch

.... the present, but also for the future. This may create a more difficult and more discipline environment for students but also adds more factors that might be more of a public school would. Public schools are the choice for the majority of the population in the state. They provide government funding, teachers, and standards set by the state to unsure the success of the students. The government funds public schools, so they do lack some of the financial resources a privately funded school would. Public schools also have been known to have less one on one time between a teacher and the student. This lack of time can and in cases does hinder the progress of the student and c ....


Monasticism And Intellectual L
795 Words - 3 Pages

.... Scholastica founded monasteries for women. Many of the texts we have today are with us because of monks. Beginning in the ninth century, the monks used scriptoria, or writing rooms, to copy different manuscripts. Between the sixth and tenth centuries, the monasteries experienced what one might call a moral decline. The purity and poverty which was the ideal for monks was being abandoned. Simony, the buying of clerical positions, was common, as was the practice of priests being married. In 910, Duke William of Aquataine wanted to do something to correct this problem. He founded the abbey of Cluny, which was an independent monastery. Cluny was kept independent from a ....
