uncomfortable not knowing the future, we strive to know every little detail. However, being vulnerable leaves one at a state of not knowing what will happen. This is why people hate and even fear being vulnerable. After having watched Brene Brown’s Ted talk, I learned it is okay to be vulnerable. This is because being open to pain may not always lead to suffering, but happiness instead. It is not just vulnerability people fear. Many people also fear unworthiness. Unworthy of being loved, to be anything
For each of the projects I have tried to ask myself what is the one thing I want to gain. Each assignment has given me a chance to reflect on a different part of myself. I am glad that I choose to workout and adjust my diet for my ICP because that is something that I tried to commit to in the past. I think it was helpful for me to make a gradual plan because I could hold myself accountable but also adjust the plan so it suited my schedule. I am so glad I took the time and made the effort to work
scenario Ken Robinson talks about in his Ted Talk, How Schools Kill Creativity. Because of this sense of fear and stigma of being wrong placed in the classroom, and a huge focus on standardized testing, our potential to become creative, imaginative thinkers is hindered. Adolescence is a crucial time for development, and one skill that we should continuously nurture and practice is creativity. This is the kind of conclusion Ken Robinson comes to in his Ted Talk, How Schools Kill Creativity. Robinson
The Circle is a 2013 American dystopian novel intended to present a potential future society that has been consumed by the superficiality and power of technology.

The TED talk starts out with Jamie Oliver, a famous professional chef, stating “in the next 18 minutes four Americans that are now alive will be dead, from food that they eat”. Then he talks about how America is the number one country for obesity and that on average your children will live ten years less than you. Jamie then puts a graph on the screen showing the number one cause of death in 2005 and it was heart disease; Jamie goes on to say it is because of what we eat. Next, Jamie talks of when

Character’s Exploration in The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz and King Lear "The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character." These lines from “Margaret Chase Smith” force us to think about what the actual test for morality is. Morality cannot be solely judged based on the deeds a person has committed, but when the person shows enough courage to stand against the mob and support the right. Both Richler and Shakespeare
On January 14th of 1963, Sylvia Plath had finally completed The Bell Jar after approximately two years of writing. This novel could have been considered a partial autobiography, because the main character Esther Greenwood eerily represents Sylvia Plath. There are a number of references to Plath’s real life throughout the book, too many for it to be considered a mere coincidence. Within the story, Esther Greenwood considers and attempts suicide quite frequently. Could this novel have been foreshadowing

Their marriage with two children didn’t last when Ted had an affair. They separated and Ted moved in with the new woman, leaving Sylvia and their two children.

explanation as to why. Ted Bundy, one of the most infamous serial killers in history brutally took the lives of numerous women for seemingly no reason at all. His justification for these murders was simply that he felt like committing them. A serial killer is defined as someone who has killed more than three people over a period of a month or more for seemingly no reason at all. Most serial killers have no real motive for killing; for them it is an urge that they must satisfy. Was Ted Bundy and others
wicked people, they cannot explain away the heartlessness that resides in them. As shown in The Stranger Beside Me, infamous serial killer Ted Bundy is no exception to this. Even though books about true crimes may be considered insensitive to those involved, the commonly positively reviewed book The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule handles the somber issue of Ted Bundy’s emotionally destructive early life and the brutal crimes he committed that made people more fearful and aware of the evil that can
