The world has people that come in many different shapes and sizes. We have a variety of ethnicities, religions, and statuses. Rich people, poor people... what do they all have in common? They have a life, plain and simple. A life full of loved ones, loved things, loved places. But are they happy? Are most people satisfied with what they have in life? In this world there is pain and happiness, and you do not always get to choose what your lot is going to become. In The Rescue Artist by Edward Dolnick

When I was in third grade, my teacher always required use to rent out a book every week. I never enjoyed reading because I always felt it was forced, so I would check out a book and never read it. Until one time my teacher asked why I haven 't been doing the A.R reading test and I told her I don 't enjoy reading. My teacher told me to take the whole week to find a book to read so I can take a test. Once I did that, my love for reading began and recently has been coming back after a lost of love for
endeavours are not what they expected; some may even call them failures. These unfortunate endings leave the individual feeling lonely and isolated, as if not a single being in the world may understand them. A famous author by the name of Lemony Snicket once wrote that “[when one experiences such emotions], the best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake somebody else up, so that they can feel this way, too.” However, as humorous this quote may be, Lemony Snicket’s main objective is to show

“Siblings that say they never fight are most definitely hiding something.” (Lemony Snicket). Although families love each other unconditionally, we all secretly categorize each other’s positive, negative, and most of all, annoying traits. Whether you live in a house with a single sibling or multiple, our opinions are always the same.While categorizing these traits we often give them nicknames as well.

house is built. In The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, the narrator’s voice shadows this architect’s hand, ingraining the familial relationships and intentions of the Samsa family into the walls. The rooms of the architect are the vessels that the narrator fills with the virtuous and appalling intentions of the members of the Samsa family. In sum, the floor plan of the Samsa apartment and the family’s use of space in the apartment parallel their relationships with each other and intentions towards one other
Cambridge Admissions Essay As a child growing up in Communist China, I woke up every morning to the blasting of People's Central Broadcasting Station from a large radio on the dresser and fell asleep every evening in the surreptitious murmuring of Voices from America from a small radio by Grandpa's pillow. By fourth grade, I figured out that the two stations often reported the same events from opposite standpoints, using different words and tones, and thus projected contradictory interpretations
beliefs. Since people have become more segregated by race, religion and beliefs, normality can only be based on their own cultures standards depending on what the individual has been accustomed to. In the new millennium, it would not be unheard of for a family to be raised by a grandparent, or even two homosexual parents.

Mentally disturbed Aiko-sama of the Yano family Early one morning in the winter of 2003, there was a cry for help from my daughter, who was upstairs. "Mother! Help me, Mother!"

Fathers and Sons in Dead Poet's Society A father is perhaps the most important role model to his son. The dominant culture states that when a boy is young, he looks to his father for help in identifying his role in society as a man. As the boy grows older, he looks to his father for guidance as to what course he should take in life. The boy becomes a man, and takes care of his father when he grows old and decrepit. This ideology is best shown on the classic television show, Leave it to Beaver
Filling the Gap in My Heart Flavia Weedn once said that “some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same.” Recently I had a life-changing experience that narrates to that notable quote. This experience opened my eyes to a whole other part of me that I never knew about. I learned that giving second chances doesn’t always have an unconstructive outcome and that building relationships aren’t effortless. When I opened my heart I faced a lot of poignant
