I want you to know how much I love you and why. Thank you for acknowledging my thoughts and feelings whether they are positive or negative, justified or unjustified, right or wrong. I feel safe being myself knowing I can not be perfect and you will still love me. Thank you for the time you take to give me an extra hug or tell me I am wonderful. Those silent moments recharge my senses of appreciation for you. Thank you for asking if you can help me work on my homework. It shows me that you
“(Chasing),” was the first to play. Singing along to the lyrics, my mood was immediately better. This song reminded me of what was important in my life, my dreams and money. I then realized what these songs had in common; they all reflected my feelings on life: don’t give up on your dreams and don’t worry about every little thing life throws at you, keep chasing your dream until you reach the top. Making it to the top is something I have always wanted to make it to the top and be successful. No matter
and no matter how much grief and loss one has gone through it never feels routine nor the same. Although our loved ones may be physically gone, they can still live on through our memories of them. There are certain objects, places, and people that remind me of those who have passed away. My loved ones that have died live on through my memory of them. Some days my memory of them is so real, I feel as if they are still here with me and will come walking through my door to greet me. Other days, I
way to respond to the death of a loved one, and no matter how much grief and loss one has gone through it never feels routine nor the same. Although our loved ones may be physically gone, they can still live on through our memories of them. There are certain objects, places, and people that remind me of those who have passed away.

"My ghost, where'd you go? I can't find you in the body. My ghost, where'd you go? What happened to the soul?" What is Halsey talking about here? Has she seen a ghost? Is she haunted by a mythical and soulless wisp of air? It's possible, of course. However, it's not the case here. Halsey is not presenting horror fables in her music, she is telling a story. Music is not only a remarkable story-telling method, but it is also a poetic way to do it. The story Halsey tells in her song 'Ghost' is not of
even when we were no longer hungry, there was still no one who thought of revenge.” p. 109 I chose this passage because it amazes me that after all they had suffered, after all the unnecessary hardships the Nazis made them suffer, no one had a though of revenge. “From the depths of the mirror, a corpse gazed back at me.” p. 109 I chose this passage because it reminds me of a time when I was sick and I had eaten hardly anything and had gotten very little sleep because I was vomiting all the night
I proved them wrong, and inspired others to work hard. Having someone remind us the importance of faith, will lead to goodness. Sometimes, we will be placed in difficult situations where we need someone to remind us of God’s word. I’ve struggled to reach to a point of confidence, and determination. For most of my childhood years, I was a subordinate. It hurt to know that certain individuals never had the will to acknowledge me, due to my weird character. No one really knew what was going on in my
Ramón’s father says “You have in your hand the pearl of the universe, The Paragon of Pearls, The great Pearl of Heaven (69)!” Like in The Pearl there is different ending for The Black Pearl. In the text The Pearl Kino throws the pearl back into the water where it came from. In The Black Pearl Ramón gives the pearl back to the church, “In her hands I placed the great black pearl. This now is a gift of adoration, a gift of love (137). ” In conclusion The Black Pearl reminds me of the text The
The Second Coming The Second Coming reminds me of the Marabar Caves in A Passage to India because of the "disconnectedness" that is portrayed. The poem quickly begins: "Turning and turning in the widening gyre [cycle of history] The falcon cannot hear the falconer'; Here Yeats reminds us all about the cycle of life that is constantly in rebirth. Everything is constantly "turning" in a "widening gyre" and yet the "falcon cannot hear the falconer" Life is connected in the sense that it is constantly
heart-wrenching poem, “The Girl Who Was Afraid to Be,” display that you should never let the actions of others defy you. There are quite a few similarities between the two literary works for instance both tell the story of a girl whom the world broke. For Millay’s female lead, Nastaya, it was having the thing she loved most being taken away from her in the most brutal way possible. “I hate it when it stutters and trembles and reminds me that my identity is gone”. For Gill's female lead who goes unnamed
Do you know what the five sentencing goals and purposes are? These goals and the purposes of them are currently used for justification in the United State for criminals. The five goals are: Retribution, general deterrence, specific deterrence, incapacitation, and rehabilitation. All of the sentencing goals have their pros and cons, however, in my opinion, all criminals, depending on the crime done, shall be punished. The goal of Retribution would remind me that I need to punish the offender according
truth. Life, as you know, has many challenges and obstacles. Some are small like missing the bus and some are more serious like the death of a loved one. The books Fahrenheit 451, Of Mice and Men, and Romeo and Juliet are great novels that show that everybody has struggles within their life. In Romeo and Juliet by william Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet are in love but there parents don't approve of it. The lyrics of “Rude” by Magic say, “Or we will run away To another galaxy you know You know she's
favorite poems written by Shakespeare. Sonnet 130 is very witty, but very sincere. I love this poem because it reminds me that no one and no love is perfect. This I have seen clouds as white as snow, But no such thing do I see in his smile; And on the days when he eats gumbo, I always have to hold my breath for a little while. I love it when he sings with me in the car, Even though his voice reminds me of a high pitched little girl. And I know that I haven’t met a genius so far, But my lovers IQ seems like
responses to the text: “This blew me away” or “This made me laugh” or “I found this bizarre” etc. It’s kind of confusing to me. Connections: Make one of each of the three types of text connections: text-to-text, text to self, text to world. Consider other essays, poems, or anything else you’ve read; your own experience or the experience of people you know; current events, what you’ve learned in other classes, etc. Text to Text: Text to Self: this poem made me to think off junkie stuff, which
isn’t going to bother me in three to five years, then I’m not going to worry about it now, then I come across what I like to refer to as a “traffic light” you know, those little situations and encounters that make you stop and reminisce about a time and place that you left behind so long ago, deep in the folds of your memory, and the sudden slap of reality that makes you stop and look around and think what’s different?, what’s changed?, and what path has brought me here? You see a “traffic light is
Paulsen's life a little better and happier. I made a strong connection with this story because I have a bunny and I understand what it's like to connect with a pet. Gary’s life became enjoyable because he had someone to be with. This reminded me of the bond my pet and I have. When I first got my pet bunny it was a bright sunny day. On September 16 we got our bunny and named him Joshua. I remember not knowing where we were
however, don’t have a meter on them, so the driver might charge you a really high price and Thai people don’t usually speak English. I’ve read many things about this online so I figured, might as well learn some basic Thai before going to Thailand. I was surprised when the taxi asked me “where you go?”. So I thought that maybe only taxi drivers knew how to speak English, but then I realized that many Thai people in Thailand know how to speak English even the street vendors! I also learnt that Thai
song I learned its’ lyrics was “Si Una Vez by Selena”. This song always gives me flashbacks of my oldest sister. We were so close as growing up despite the age differences, she was in her teens and I was only a seven year old. This is one of my earliest memories ever because it was one of her favorite songs and she would sing it around me, because of that I heard it and I would join her by singing it, day by day she taught me the lyrics until I learned it by memory. Two years later she moved out due
writings, you can visualize his memories about his family and home life. He is able to take the essence of love or sadness from a particular moment in his past and pass it to the reader. One instance would be when I read the poem, From Blossoms. As I read it, it felt as if it was a moment when he was a boy. During summer time, he and another person strolled down a road until they noticed a Peaches stand. Rushing over, he tells about how fruitful the farmer’s trees were, motioning to how many peaches
