I used my imagination to find another way to do something when I was bored. I would play with my sister in our bedroom, we first stacked up all the pillows in the room that we were in, then I would try and get on top of the pillow tower. Then as I struggled up the pillow tower, it felt like I was taller than my sister, or even at the top of the world! After that, the tower fell, it felt like I was skydiving, then when I hit the bed I bounced as if I was on a trampoline, then I would lie on my back laughing. Sometimes our mom would be going into the room to check on us, sometimes she says,"Be careful", or, "Clean up when you're done." Sometimes we would get in trouble, or mostly me, because we would do dangerous things without knowing, or we might break things that look nice. We would also mess up our beds, and leave it like that for the rest of the day, but the only times we would clean up is when we would play another game, or we had to eat. …show more content…
I would think that the scenery was the icy blue ice of Antarctica and my penguin plushies would be talking to eachother about the decrease of their food - which only consisted of fish and krill. Then, the dad penguin would be a business-penguin and the mom and only child/chick would stay home, and sometimes the chick would go to school and talk to this bunny plushie, which was one of my friend's favorite plushies. My friend's bunny plushie would be a normal brown bunny, but with colorful easter eggs all over it body. The dad penguin would go to work and talk about the quickly decreasing number of fish, then the dad penguin would be done with work and go to their home/igloo and slightly exaggerate what happened at work, but the mom would know which part of his story that he was
“‘They score! Henderson has scored for Canada!’” Foster Hewitt wordlessly described” (Pelletier) when Paul Henderson scored the series-winning goal. This allowed Canada to win the 1972 Summit Series, a moment that no one would ever forget since it all happened during the climax of the Cold War. Prior to this, the Soviets had won the previous three Olympic gold metals since Canada could not use its NHL players. Thus, this provided Canada with the chance to play hockey against the USSR using its best players. This raised the question: if Canada were able to send its best players, would it still be enough to beat the Soviets? Everyone in Canada was certain that the Soviets would not win a single game, but little did they know they underestimated the extent of the Soviets abilities. Tied in the last few minutes of game eight, Canada had to score or they would lose the series. However, when Paul Henderson scored the game-winning goal, never before had a single sporting event meant so much to Canadians. Therefore, Paul Henderson’s goal is a defining moment for Canada in the twentieth century becauseit provided Canada with the opportunity to evolve hockey, proved that Canada and our democratic society were superior to the USSR and their communist society, and brought citizens together to unify Canada as a nation.
Both 1984 and The Handmaid’s Tale are dystopian novels, however, these books are a lot more complex than mere portrayals of dystopia, it can be argued that they are explorations of dystopia rather than mere portrayals. In order to explore dystopia, many themes must be considered, such as; feminism, love and repression. Nonetheless, it is apparent that human characteristics are the driving point of the two novels, predominantly, the depiction of human resilience. In an imperfect world, it is important to have certain qualities which, if plentiful, it can mean success, whereas if it lacks, it can mean failure, this characteristic is resilience. The protagonists in each novel, Winston in 1984 and Offred in The Handmaid’s Tale face situations which leave them both in disarray, and both even consider suicide. The authors tentatively highlight human resilience, its limits and most importantly its strengths into the two novels.
“Daisy! Daisy! Daisy! I’ll say it whenever I want to! Daisy! Dai–” (37). Daisy, a flower, feminine, white, pure, and yet yellow– the color of corruption. Daisy Buchanan is an indulgent, manipulative, and corrupt character that seeks out the weak in others for her personal gain. She dresses in lavender to show her indulgence in life, and her attitude that since she has money she can do whatever she wants. She murders a woman while driving a yellow car, because she knows none of the consequences will affect her because she can retreat back into her money. Daisy wears white to look angelic, but like a demon stepping on holy ground, it burns her because it’s all fake. Daisy Buchanan; a mother, a wife, a lover, a friend, an adulterer, and a murderer.
Throughout history, motivation has been one of the components to survival. Motivation is needed to get up in the morning and go on about the day in order to survive. As humans began to evolve, so did society, which meant our drive and motivation were derived from different goals rather than one common one. Rather than depending on biological drive, humans started to depend on the system of rewarding the good behavior and punishing the bad. This operating is known as Motivation 2.0 (Pink, 2009). However, this method is flawed due to the fact that this implies that humans are no different from a herd of livestock.
Imagine living in a home comprised only of beautiful rock and natural cement planes balanced like a perfect pendulum over a serene waterfall high in the mountains and surrounded on all sides by lush tall trees. Designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 and located in the Laurel Highlands of rural Pennsylvania, this home is commonly referred to as Fallingwater. The house quite literally rests as a cantilever structure over a waterfall on Bear Run and is decorated with large glass panel windows and stone masonry walls. Although for many this sounds like an unattainable pristine dream home it does exist for one family, the Kaufmann’s. The patron who spent nearly $2.5 million dollars was Edgar J. Kaufmann , who owned and operated the famous regional department store chain by the same name in the early 20th century. At one point Kaufmann’s reached 60 stores operating in five states on the East Coast . This paper will focus on the connection between modern architecture of the 1920s, especially those principles defined by the Bauhaus, and how they came to influence the design of commercial spaces today.
Comets have amazed, interested, and driven scientists to study them often. Comets like the Hale-Bopp have been seen by millions of people. Since the discovery of comets, scientists, astrologers, or and even your next door neighbor have been interested in discovering or studying comets. Like Halley’s Comet which has had a real impact on the history of comets.
Internet research such as blogs and unofficial sites were valid in providing a great deal of information relevant to my topic that could assist in answering the research question however, they were all generally unreliable due to many not having an author listed and the ones that did had no qualifications in either childhood obesity or screen time. Blogs can be seen as bias as many are generally based entirely on the authors point of view and opinions.
Motivation is defined as the process that guides, initiates, and maintains goal orientated behavior and thought (Cherry, 2013). Motivation is what drives individuals to do what they do, whether it is something as simple as getting a drink because he or she are thirsty or something as big as getting up every day and gong to work for a paycheck.
People say boredom is caused when someone is left with nothing to do. I strong disagree. Boredom is something much more primitive that just lacking things to do. How times have we had an important task, but could never complete it because we felt bored right in the middle of doing it? Boredom can strike anybody, and there are no explainable causes for it; you just feel bored.
Motivation is a common term used in everyday life. According to Kendra Cherry, motivation is ‘the process that initiates, guides and maintains goal-oriented behaviours’ (Cherry, 2013). Motivation may affect our behaviour, choices and attitudes. How a person approaches a situation or their decision to act upon a situation is also known as motivation (Wong, 2000). There are many theories which explain different areas of motivation; instinct, incentive, drive, humanistic and arousal. The existence of these theories of motivation will be discussed throughout this essay. How different elements of these theories can be applied to social care settings will also be explored.

Currently there are many students tried to go to college and finish their degree. But some students don’t know what they should do in college and how to avoid the failure in classes. The failure will happen if you have no real goal or plan to finish it.
Together, motivation and emotion move, trigger and help with the control of behaviour in humans. The part of emotion that allows us to feel has a motivational factor. It helps with achievements of our goals and to avoid what we don’t want. Motivation can also have an emotional force that activates the specific behaviour. Emotion can have the biggest control over motivation. Motivation is the self-control of being able to channel emotions to achieve a goal.Emotions can serve as motives.
Hi, my name is Rob Geis and I am currently in grade 12. I have been at County High School for a year now; I joined at the start of 11th grade, and have thoroughly enjoyed myself here. The school is great, the people are fantastic and the atmosphere is one that makes you actually want to go to school. Before I joined ASB I was studying at the Singapore American School for two years and prior to that I was at the International School of Kuala Lumpur for two years. I was born and raised here in Bombay city and grew up here.
Everybody; old and young have active an imagination, but we all express it differently than others. For me I express my imagination with my artwork. For example; when I was younger I watched a lot of cartoons just like any other kid. My favorite cartoon at the time was He-Man. I loved the show so much that I frequently dreamt and imagined of being strong like him, but I knew it could not be possible so instead of dreaming, I drew up an entire comic book of myself being a super strong super hero just like He-Man all thanks to my vivid imagination and artistic ability. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has done something similar.
