I came to be known as "James games" at a young age as my family would always see my face stuck in front of a television screen or a monitor all day and night playing a game of my liking. I would never get bored of playing games, as the variety of games was endless and with every game there was a new story. Playing for games for about fifteen years, on my seventeenth birthday my parents bought me a laptop and I was very happy to see I would have a device of my own. I would not have to deal with my parents slow and annoying laptop that would certainly give me a headache playing on it. With my new laptop, I was able to try the new game that I had been on my mind for over three years, League of Legends. League of Legends is a MOBA based game as it means Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. It was very addicting to me as it was nothing like I ever played before. A team of 5 champions fighting the other team of five champions. The champions were based around a fantasy genre that could be from merely humans to monster, or half-humans who had human and animal qualities. With being infatuated with my game, I drew upon interest to a girl I had fell in love with over an app called "meow". Her name is Patcharida and she resides in Thailnad. Her and I talked a lot and I had felt a disconnect, as I no longer played my

  • The Turn Of The Screw Argumentative Essay

    1431 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Turn of the Screw by Henry James has been the cause of many debates about whether or not the ghosts are real, or if this is a case of a woman with psychological disturbances causing her to fabricate the ghosts. The story is told in the first person narrative by the governess and is told only through her thoughts and perceptions, which makes it difficult to be certain that anything she says or sees is reliable. It starts out to be a simple ghost story, but as the story unfolds it becomes obvious that the governess has jumps to conclusions and makes wild assumptions without proof and that the supposed ghosts are products of her mental instability which was brought on by her love of her employer

    Former VSU President William McKinney adjusted the academic calendar by reinstating Fall Break and eliminating Dead Day. He knew that the constant debate of whether or not to have the two items had been prolonged enough. Dr. McKinney said he believed that his decision “serves the best interest of most Valdosta State students, faculty, and staff” (Edwards, “Dead Day Gone”). While the elimination of Dead Day should have benefited everyone the students didn’t benefit as much as the teachers, so Dead Day should be reinstated to allow students an extra day before finals to study and relax.

    Have you ever felt stuck? Wherever you are, it’s the absolute last place you want to be. In the book Into the Wild, Chris McCandless feels stuck just like the average everyday person may feel. Chris finds his escape plan to the situation and feels he will free himself by going off to the wild. I agree with the author that Chris McCandless wasn’t a crazy person, a sociopath, or an outcast because he got along with many people very well, but he did seem somewhat incompetent, even though he survived for quite some time.

  • Argumentative Essay On The Time Machine

    1089 Words  | 3 Pages

    In The Time Machine by H.G. Wells, the Time Traveller first visits the year 802,701, where Wells begins to establish that humanity has split into two opposite and startling sub-species, the Eloi and the Morlocks, similar to “modern” humans. After his associations with the Eloi and finally outsmarting the Morlocks, the Time Traveller escapes millions of years into the future to a period devoid of human life, and once more after that to see the final devolution of man. With these experiences centuries into the future, it is clear Wells does not possess an optimistic outlook on his interpretations of the future, but rather one of regression. Wells’ idea that humanity is doomed to devolution and eventual extinction is shown through the

  • Does The Veldt Have A Dependence On Technology

    1011 Words  | 3 Pages

    Having a dependence on technology is like having an addiction to a drug. One relies on it to make them feel a certain way but it can totally change one’s emotions, feelings, actions and personality. Being dependent on technology can make one more agitated and lazy because the one might feel that they are not expected to do a regular task because they have machines to do them for them. Trying to stay away from the technology might tear one apart because of how attached they are to it and make one more upset. This passage from the book, The Veldt demonstrates being upset or emotionally changed from technology, “Can’t say I did; the usual violences, a tendency toward slight paranoia here or there. But this is usual in children because they feel their parents are always doing things to make them suffer in one way or another. But, oh, really nothing.” Page 9. When the father threatened turning off all the technology, the son’s personality totally changed. He got violent and started yelling at his parents, he used to actually address his parents with a “hi”. After the incident, he started threatening to kill his parents. Peter and Wendy actually think of the death of parents which explains why the nursery always shows Africa and killings. Technology can manipulate people’s minds and then make them think about dark things. An example from a dystopian short story

    In this book, Forster is able to portray a reality that could become true if we, human beings, keep depending on technology for survival. Although it is very distressing that people became dependable to the Machine to the extent where they loose their humanity and become like a machine as well, with no mind of their own. It is incredible how people were not able to survive when the Machine stopped working; it is understandable that people nowadays will also have a hard time surviving without technology since we were born into a technological world. But the World will be well when people like Kuno remind humans what is really important in life.

  • Argumentative Essay On Right To Die

    Life or Death? I see it fitting to start off by actually explaining what “Right to Die” is. The Right to Die is a principle based on a person’s choice to terminate their life or to endure voluntary euthanasia. The two Supreme Court cases that relate to the constitutional Right to Die are Cruzan by Cruzan V. Director, Missouri Department of Health and Washington V. Glucksberg . The first of these cases is based on the constitutional right of the state to interfere with medical decisions. Whether the state has a right to withhold the parent’s decision to remove life-sustaining support from their child. While the second case argues whether the state has a right to restrict a patient’s decision to partake in Physician Assisted Suicide.

    1004 Words  | 3 Pages

    Nowadays, a technology has a large impact on our society, especially on young people. On one hand, innovations in technology could be very helpful and funny, like some virtual reality scenes where Cooper plays a whack-a-mole game. However, playing with someone’s mind can cause much larger consequences than we can ever imagine. Brooker did a great job in a sense of technology used in this episode because it is not something that we have never seen; that are the devices that are here now, just improved a little to give the audience feeling like – it is not here completely, but it is coming soon. In addition, it tends to warn people that too much of anything is too bad and that technology is not the exception. Moreover, soon or later there will be too much of technology what can cause many problems just like Cooper's death. Mostly, the technology is well known because we can imagine ourselves with those AR devices even now and that’s why technology does not draw too much attention. That means that the audience can be more focused on the action of the episode, the virtual horror particularly. Despite all the technology, when Cooper spent time with Sonja, a girl that he met in one bar, it looked like the current world which means that the author made a well-balanced
