Children Give Elementary School Students
718 words
As I approach Arp Elementary School, many
different thoughts go through my mind. I gaze at
the surrounding area and notice the appearance of
the building. It looks like a cozy building set
away from the busy streets. I watch some children
playing outside during their recess and memories
flow through my mind. The energy the kids posses
is reviving to my inner child. I had a strong
feeling to go play on the playground with them.
The boys were running around yelling, playing, and
screaming. The gir...

Song Had A Meter Listen To Jazz Trumpet
701 words
Before I arrived at the Regatta Bar, I had no idea
what to expect. To be completely honest, I was a
bit hesitant going out on the town to listen to
jazz. It's true that we listen to jazz every
Monday and Wednesday in class, but the thought of
sitting around jazz enthusiasts was intimidating.
I felt like I wouldn't belong, as if I wasn't
going to be qualified enough to be in their
presence. However, everything changed after I
stepped over the threshold to the Regatta. I
quickly realized that it h...

Situated On The Same Plain William James Squirrel
305 words
Chapter Two of William James's Pragmatism called
"What Pragmatism Means" begins with the famous
metaphysical question: Does the man go round the
squirrel or not? What he means by this is if a man
walks around a tree in a full circle, and a
squirrel is one of the tree branches, how come it
never occurs to the man to say that he not only
walked around the tree, but the squirrel as well?
William James applies his answer by using what he
calls his pragmatic method. By saying that we
shouldn't declar...

I have decided to visit a Greek Orthodox Church,
Saint Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox church.
I went alone because I figured that this would not
draw too much attention during the service. I
tried to find a near by church that will give the
service partially in English. When I found one
near me it was my luck that I went at the time
when it was all spoken in Greek. The English
service was at six in the evening, and the
all-Greek service started at ten in the morning.

Head Belittles Nelson Low Self Worth People
1,483 words
In O'Connor's "The Artificial Nigger" the essences
of prejudice and degradation are captured to a
great extent. Reality shows us with needless
consistency people in a need to feel better about
themselves only achieve it by being better than
someone else. Therefore every opportunity at hand,
including racism, is taken advantage as a form of
gratification. Mr. Head, the grandfather, is an
example of one of these people. He is in
competition with seemingly everyone he encounters

Pride And Prejudice Lady Catherine
1,730 words
Jane Austen, like her most beloved heroine,
Elizabeth Bennet, is a keen observer of the nature
of man in society. To simplify her studies, and to
give her readers a better understanding of the
concept of Pride and Prejudice, Austen does not
focus our attention on the larger social structure
as a whole, but skillfully directs our
consideration only to a small, isolated segment of
the society. In Pride and Prejudice, Austen
scrutinizes a microcosm, people dwelling within
similar cultural and socia...
