    Mitch spends every Tuesday with Morrie not knowing when it might be his dear sociology professor’s last. One line of Morrie’s: “People walk around with a meaningless life…This is because they are doing things wrong” (53) pretty much encapsulates the life lessons from Morrie, Mitch describes in his novel, Tuesdays With Morrie.

  • Analysis Of Deborah Tannen's Conversation Style: Talking On The Job

    1077 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the introduction of Deborah Tannen’s “Conversation Style: Talking on the Job”, she compares and contrasts the ways men and women communicate. This reminds me of what I tell people that are struggling in their relationships. Women and men express themselves differently. Women think, but men act. If you can’t wrap your head around this, being in a relationship with anyone is going to be hard. Yet, this is such a basic way of looking at this issue. Not only are the genders vastly different, but each person relates to the world around them in a certain way. He or she also needs to be related to in a specific way. Looking at personalities and personal histories can give a better look at the way we communicate with each other. Tannen examines

  • Character Analysis: In The Next Room

    360 Words  | 1 Pages

    There is an abundance of examples where In the Next Room pulled these emotions out of me. One major example of this is on page 103, after Dr. Givings has witnessed Catherine putting her hand to Leo’s cheek, he says “My darling, I don’t mind.” She then gets extremely angry with her husband for not feeling jealousy towards Leo and storms off saying: “Don’t talk to me tonight! Don’t talk to me tomorrow! I will take my breakfast in my own room!” My initial thoughts are: how ridiculous and humorous that she is dealing with this issue so immaturely in her marriage—acting as if she is a sixteen-year-old girl hungry for her boyfriend’s attention.

  • Castaway: Representation Of The Hardships Of Life

    318 Words  | 1 Pages

    I thought that the film Castaway was a good representation of the hardships of life and what it truly takes to survive in difficult circumstances. A good thing in the movie that represented hardship was basically his entire situation being stuck on the island. I thought the way that the movie present his obstacles and him trying to figure out how to solve them was good. The ending was also was one of my favorite parts of the movie. I think the way the movie showed his victory in returning home didn’t mean everything would go back to normal was fantastic. For example, on the island the main character kept holding onto hope that he’d see his wife again, and once he finally did he felt like he lost her all over again. One bad thing about the
