Daydreaming is a part of almost all of people’s lives at some point. Daydreaming can take place anywhere, from the home, school, work, or even when you just happen to be taking a walk. Daydreaming is something that is an immense part of my life. I function much better when I daydream momentarily. Much of the older generation may say that daydreaming isn’t productive, or that it doesn’t get you anywhere, but I believe that daydreaming allows me to be more creative and successful. After all of my classes I usually spend the entire time driving home thinking about all of my assignments that need to be done. Thinking about all of these things stresses me out quite a bit, and by the time I get home, I can’t decide which assignment I want to do first. Usually at this point I go up to my room, lay on my bed, and spend the next ten minutes relaxing, and letting my mind wander. After I do this I can immediately decide on what I want to do first, and work more efficiently. For example, when I made it home last Thursday I was thinking about whether I wanted to do writing, biology, or my water planet course homework first. I spent ten minutes trying to decide, …show more content…
These “spells” are especially troubling when I’m in the middle of a class. When this happens, I usually let my mind wander and think about something that makes me content, this usually always gets rid of the dizziness and slows my heart rate down. After a few minutes my brain is able to concentrate and it’s like nothing ever happened. For example while I was in chemistry I became very dizzy while I was taking notes, and felt like I may pass out again. I immediately let my mind daydream to get my mind off of the fact that I was dizzy, and in a few moments the dizziness was

596 wordsRead More - Imagination Essayanalytical essayImagination is a word that applies to everyone. It remains a part of everyone’s life throughout childhood and adulthood. An imagination has no boundaries, and every individual’s imagination is one-of-a-kind. Imagination makes the dull perspective of life fun and entertaining. Its degree of influence on people and its uniqueness make imagination a particularly fascinating word, and this is why I was interested to delve deeper into the history and evolution of its definition. Initially, the first phrases that come to mind are “using your imagination” and “having a big imagination.” To me, these phrases mean forming new ideas by thinking creatively and having a big capacity for creative thinking. When I think of the word itself, I consider it to refer to the unique thoughts and fantasies that can lead to coming up with stories, uncommon inventions, and new ideas or concepts.

704 wordsRead More - The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty Compare And Contrast Essayargumentative essayThe daydreams in the movie were shorter and less detailed sometimes, but this made them simpler and more understandable for the viewer. This also makes for the daydreams to go along with the plot, and for the transition between each to really get across the point that Walter is always going on and out of his daydreams at random times. The daydreams in the short story, though they were good, because there was a lack of plot, they didn’t seem to relate to anything except that Walter was a boring man with an overactive imagination, and frankly, that doesn’t make much for a story. For example, at the beginning of the movie, Walter hears a dog barking, and imagines the building behind him is burning, and he saves the day by warning everyone about it. In the book, however, it starts off in the middle of a daydream that doesn’t even sensibly seem to go along with what’s happening in Walter’s life, as it’s him as a commander. This doesn’t make sense because Walter, from what we know, has never been in any form of the military, and the sound of a horn on a car reminding him of a foghorn on a navy ship just doesn’t make sense. The movie’s daydreams went along with the plot, and as the plot progressed and got more exciting, the daydreams started to do the opposite in a way. It was a nice touch for the movie to show how Walter went from being a

722 wordsRead More - Night Essayanalytical essayWhen a person's faith is also an alternative for their culture and morals, it proves challenging to take that sense of security in that faith away from them. In Night, Elie Wiesel, a Jewish student living in Sighet, Transylvania during the war of 1942, uses his studies in Talmud and the Kabbalah as not only a religious practice but a lifestyle. Elie and his fellow civilians are warned, however, by his Kabbalah teacher who says that during the war, German aggressors are aggregately imprisoning, deporting, and annihilating millions of Jews. When Elie and his family are victim of this aggression, Elie realizes how crucial his faith in God is if he is to survive the Holocaust. He vows after being separated from his mother and sisters that he will protect he and his father from death, even though as death nears, Elie gradually becomes closer to losing his faith. In the end, to Elie's devastation, Elie makes it out of the Holocaust alone after his father dies from the intense seclusion to malnutrition and deprivation. Elie survives the Holocaust through a battle of conscience--first by believing in God, then resisting his faith in God, and ultimately replacing his faith with obligation to his father.

1089 wordsRead More - Inspiration Essayexplanatory essayInspiration in a resting person involves contraction of the primary muscle, diaphragm and external intercostals muscles, enlarging the chest cavity. The flattening of the large, dome-shaped diaphragm results in inferior movement of the central tendon, a connective tissue that lies on top of the dome which causes the overall shape of the dome to slightly alter. Additionally, relaxation of the abdominal muscles allows the abdominal organs to shift out of the way of the diaphragm. Furthermore, the contraction of the external intercostals muscles elevates the ribs and pulls the sternum forward. This permits the costal cartilages to allow lateral rib movement and lateral expansion of the thoracic cavity, thus increasing the anterior-posterior dimensions on the thoracic cavity. The parietal layer of the pleura also moves with these structures as it is attached to the diaphragm within the chest wall. This results in decrease of interpleural pressure from -5cmH2O to about -9cmH2O. As a result, the visceral layer of the pleura, which is attached to the lungs, causes the lung to expand, increasing its volume. Increase in surface area of the lungs causes the intrapulmonary pressure to fall, generating partial vacuum which sucks air into the lungs by bulk flow. Air continues to travel into the lungs until the intrapulmonary pressure is same as atmospheric pressure.
