Do we fight to live or live to fight? It was a great day for my family. We were celebrating my aunt’s college graduation in March 2008. Her name is Yessica Reyes and was 28 years old, and had two kids: Gabriel and Yeina, my lovely cousins. We were so happy for her! Everybody wearing fancy and elegant outfits, taking a lot of pictures, and after the graduation ceremony we went out for dinner to finish celebrating. Everything seemed to be just perfect; the weather, the good vibe and happiness were in the ear. Finally, like at 11:00 pm we got home and were exhausted, but really happy. I was working by the time, and started my Monday as usually, full of work and stress. When I came home, my mom told me Yessica, my aunt, was no feeling good and went to the hospital. I did not pay a lot of attention because I …show more content…

Jenny’s mom and my grandma have been friends all the time after all. Is it easy to be friend of the women that destroyed your marriage? I know is hard, but my grandma taught me is possible if you make it happens. Second, live your life and follow your dreams. Yessica has done so many things, sometimes I feel jealous. Even when mom thinks she should haven’t done all of this because of her health and life conditions, Yessica thinks she should be taking advantage of every day in her life, and keep planning, doing, enjoying and living. That’s what she has fought for! To live happily, enjoy her every second. I know my mom probably will get mad at me if she gets to read this history. Thanks God she does not speak or read English, but I agree with Yessica. Do we fight to live or live to fight? If you are not going to enjoy life and live without fears, plan for tomorrow and fight for what you want to be…it is so pointless to be

    The earth, unfortunately, isn't a figurine or a car or a recliner. Man did not create nature, yet we feel we have the right to use it in whatever manner we see fit. And like those items, one day we may regret what we have done. We will look for a way to fix the Earth, a way to make it better, and one will not exist. We cannot glue the ozone layer back together. We cannot paint over the missing trees of the rain forest. We cannot buy a new species of animals. Our actions today have long term consequences. Are we ready to deal with them?

  • Nature and Humanity, a Comparison of Poems

    1540 Words  | 4 Pages

    When humans and nature come together, they either coexist harmoniously because nature's inhabitants and humans share a mutual respect and understanding for each other, or they clash because humans attempt to control and force their ways of life on nature. The poems, "The Bull Moose" by Alden Nowlan, "The Panther" by Rainer Maria Rilke, "Walking the Dog" by Howard Nemerov, and "The Fish" by Elizabeth Bishop, describe what happens when humans and nature come together. I believe that when humans and nature come together they either clash and conflict because individuals destroy and attempt to control nature, which is a reflection of their powerful need to control themselves, or humans live peacefully with nature because not only do they admire and respect nature, but also they can see themselves in nature.
