Neal walked out of the house and ambled slowly toward his car. He gazed at the sidewalk and recalled happier days, a time when he and his ex-girlfriend were still together. Neal and Kristine had separated months earlier. Kristine’s actions made it very clear that she no longer wanted him in her life. For Neal, this was the greatest shock he had ever experienced. Kristine was not only beautiful– she was courageous and hard working. These unrivaled qualities were what made Neal love her. What made it so difficult was that he was certain they would always be together.

Neal walked out of the house and started to stroll towards his car. Neal began re-collecting nostalgic memories that happened during happier times, when he and his ex- girlfriend Kristine were together. The woman that Neal had enjoyed a long relationship with broke up with him and no longer wants to see him. It represented the greatest shock imaginable for Neal. The ex-girlfriend, Kristine, was not only a beautiful attractive woman but above that – she was brave and hard working.

Following the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

Part 1: 1. Intelligent, charismatic, strong, integrity, forthright, funny
2. The individual in question, my seventh grade history teacher, was the things listed and so many more. These things, however, are the characteristics that have stuck with me through the years. Primarily I remember how smart he was. He would teach us the state curriculum that was required, but he always knew more about the battle, war, speech, event, or person we were learning about at that time. He would share the information excitedly with the class and it would make me think that he was not only smart, ...

There are many reasons that artists choose to create art, but one of the many reasons that they choose to do so is to encourage the persistence of cultural or personal memories. While not all artists paint, sculpt, or recreate memories from their pasts, many artists do use elements of memory and memories from their past to create works of art that memorialize and speak to the past. This may be a personal history, or it could be a cultural or global history-- many of the works of art created after the first World War, for instance, are concerned with the ...

It was Tuesday morning in July. For a unknown reason she felt like putting on her purple shoes that she did not wear for some time, maybe for several years. As she put her left foot into the corresponding shoe, she understood why she felt like wanting to wear that pair of shoes. Inside the left shoe there was something that tickled her foot, so she removed her foot and turned the show face down. A little rhomb-shaped earring fell down the shoe and she remembered.
Her eyes filled with tears right in the moment when she lifted up ...

Despite the intergenerational gap, my relationship with my grandmother has been both meaningful and powerful. I guess there was some “good fit” or correct “prescription” that enabled us to build a strong relationship. Even though my grandfather has been equally friendly and loving, my grandmother has always shared in more activities with me, and perhaps that is why I consider her my “closest” grandparent. Perhaps it is because we are both women, considering my elder brothers and even my dad are often out and about with my grandfather. Despite the fact that I have been playing the role of a romantic partner ...

Part 1

My grandmother is probably the most loving person in my life. She had a heart full of love for all the world and even those that had hurt her, would always find shelter, should they need her help. I could not understand how she could be THAT forgiving, but perhaps that was her gift. Maybe she had done her self-criticism and found out the true meaning of life, when the rest of us were struggling to find who we really are. She would go to the church every Sunday and pray for those in need. A distinguishing trait in my ...

“Nannie has escaped again.”

Those words, coming through the cell phone, smashed into him like an icy wave.
“How can they keep letting this happen? Don’t they have security? When? Where? Do they have any idea where she went?”
“Nope.” His sister sounded resigned. “I’ll check the usual places down south, and you check the ones up north, okay?”
“I don’t have time for this, Taylor, you hear me? I don’t have time to go chasing her all over creation--”

“She is your grandmother, Brandon--”

“--just because she can’t stay put in her nursing home, all right? I don’t ...

Jody letter: Love letter

Hello {___}. I have written this letter because I feel obliged to do so. I think after 6 years I should apologize for my past actions. I feel hurt that we are not together anymore. I wonder how it is possible to love and hate someone simultaneously. It is impractical. I am sure you feel the same way. I always think of when we were together. I did not realize how deep in love we had bonded. I shared some of the best years of my life with you by my side. I remember when I was eighteen years, ...

The moon rises high in the sky, its silvery light creating an eerier aura, as the screams of a woman echoes through the landscape. The creature turns its head attracted by the sounds of pain and fear as it rips through the veil between the living and dead. “The night of Samhain,” it thinks, “the perfect night for escape.” As the time when the veil between the living and dead is the thinnest, Samhain is the time signally the end of lightness and the beginning of darkness. Exhausted creature slides down to the Earth, the first time it had been ...

My first and initial meeting with Zara, a young aspiring model, lead me to believe that her life comprises of glamour and is surrounded by beautiful people, lavish clothes, expensive jewellery and accessories and wonderful career. No doubt, I was thoroughly impressed by her lifestyle I could not imagine that at such a young age she can do so much in her life. For me, it was very hard to digest that everything is so much accessible to her, she is still 22 but can do whatever she wants to without any difficulty. But it was just a few hours later when ...

The Neighbour’s Perspective

I stepped out that morning and embraced the day. It was sunny and the heat beat down upon my face like water from a shower head. I had always liked days like this as I usually felt more relaxed and calm which is something of a rarity for me. I’ve never understood people who dislike the summer; it’s a beautiful time of year: children playing and laughing; women in beautiful, floating dresses; and lush, green trees encased in healthy, lustrous leaves and bright flowers. Even the greyest of concrete structures seems to sparkle in the sunlight and I find it ...

Jim and his wife have been married for several years. When they were first together, they were always laughing and having fun and then, as time went by, their relationship started to sour and arguments began to happen more and more frequently. Eventually, his wife decides to leave him and in an emotional scene where both parties lament on happier times in their marriage, she packs her case and goes. The story would revolve around Jim’s attempt to woo and win back the woman he loves.

Scene

He leant against the door frame, watching her pack a bag; she was ...

The sun had already set when Dan reached the pub that spring evening. It was probably a bad idea to go anywhere near the place after that last AA-meeting, bu the didn’t care. It was Friday night and he desperately needed a drink. The phonecall he recieved earlier that day was still clinging to his mind, slowly turning into a blur by each bottle of beer that went through his throat, but one sentence refused to go away:

”I’m sorry, Dan, your mother passed away.”

Those words were still ringing in Dan’s ears when he woke up in my bed the next day, the ...

“Careful dear,” my mother lovingly caressed my hair as I bumped into her while frantically running upstairs on my way to the roof top. I would be nine years old tomorrow and she still treats me as if I am a three. I didn’t in the least like her gestures of love. ”Why can’t she just keep her hands off me? Why on earth she has to make a show of it every damn time I am near her? Just the thought of her touching me makes me puke,” angrily I mused as I continued to run upstairs. I ...

[Date (January 1, 2014)]

It was Friday morning; the busy shoppers were doing their last-minute errands for Halloween. The store was bustling with chattering people, enthusiasm was in the air. It was cold and windy outside but the warmth inside the grocery store provided a relaxing heat for a comfortable browsing of candies that would soon go on sale as quickly as the occasion was over.
One family got their carts full for the day. It was a cheerful lot except for one tall and pale-faced girl wearing a smug expression on her face, her full attention on texting. She was a very ...

I remember walking through some double doors and all of a sudden, I am come under a hail of gunfire. With two guns in hand, I shot a guy to my left, right and behind me just before I was shot in the head. It should have never happened I said as I lay here dying, I am reminded of how I got here in the first place; let’s turn back the clock to March 11, 1981. It all started when I was 7-years-old; my father was a low-level informant in the family, and he feels he was destined to be the ...

Last weekend I was at home doing nothing and I felt so bored because there was nothing much I could do. I had spent the whole morning sleeping and so, wanted to do something to keep me busy in the afternoon. I then remembered I needed to catch up with sports and news on my favorite channels. I love sports because it is entertaining and best of all, I get to know what is happening in the world of sports. I also love news because they keep me updated on what is happening around the country and even the ...

<INSTRUCTOR’S NAME>
<COURSE NAME>

I heard the kids giggling, and I slowly opened my eyes. It was so relaxing and felt that I had enough sleep. I remember the night before I passed out. George, my husband, and I were talking about how busy our Saturday was, and at the same time, it was very productive. We were thinking that after this grueling task that we are going to have in our work, we will bring the kids out-of-town. We also talked about how happy we are that our friend Rita is getting married soon. ...

Communication

Sometimes I sit back and wonder if we deserve the honor of being called intellects. How can we call yourself the top crime of the society yet we cannot show a slight change to the society. Look around, I bet what can you see is an element of environmental pollution. Right back in our villages, there is high expectation from the people, waiting for a savior to save them from this encroaching problem of pollution. Look at the surrounding of this precious university. Litter every where. The administration and its entire staff, you included has failed. I think we all have ...

Answer to Two Essay Questions

1) Whats all this emphasis on sense data by empiricists? Explain this elusive idea and its place in modern epistemology?
Sextus Empiricus and his skepticism did not deny human knowledge or even the possibility of knowledge. In fact, it seems his philosophy appears to be a starting point that attempts to actively seek knowledge acquisition. It was just that he never believed one could get beyond the starting point. Or rather, he withheld his assent as to whether one could move beyond skepticism. He cautioned that one must be very careful before affirming as knowledge anything that went beyond ...

The World Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida is like a heaven-sent land, where children’s dreams and fantasies seem to come true. Just like you are living a very personalized fairy-tale and a much appreciated perpetuating youth once you are all grown up!
I visited the Disney World ever since I was a 6-year-old and my divorced and remarried father used to take me and my brothers there, alongside our step brothers and sisters, for ten consecutive years. We would always go on October and what I do remember from back then is the smell of sun tan wafting. So many ...

The day turns to night, and the night turns to day; but it wasn’t always so. It used to be that the days were just that, days. The sun would shine down on the mountains and the green grass, throughout the calendar year. However, people grew weary and tiresome working all day, and prayed to the gods for a few hours of darkness, where they could rest their eyes and their sore muscles from the days work in the fields.
Our story begins with a beautiful young woman named Pangita who was the daughter of a god and a mortal; her ...

Military life has given me so many opportunities. I was stationed in South Korea and Germany twice, which gave me so much knowledge about the Korean and German cultures. Because nightlife in Germany begins at 10 in the evening and ends at five in the morning, it felt as if I was doing two jobs at a time, apart from my work as a U.S. Army Aviation maintenance instructor. It was fun but tiring, thus now, my life is the schoolhouse where Sergeants and Staff Sergeants are my students as I teach about supervising and inspections of maintenance criteria.

For preventing the clouded people of the great country of Egypt

For finding a new Egyptian Spirit
It is a melancholy object to those who sit these days in their cozy living rooms and watch the scenes on the streets of Cairo, when they see the desperate people of Egypt. A country, where the economy is growing three times faster than for example in Germany, but where still nearly 40 Million people have to live with less than two dollars a day. These people hoped to benefit from the big wave of privatization in the 1990s. They dreamed of clean hospitals, free education and a health care system that takes away their sorrows ...

We all know why we are here today: to mourn the passing of a son. You may say that he was only a son to me; I do not hold to that. Because of his endless zeal for life, his boundless potential, and his unstoppable energy, I daresay that he was a son to all of us. It's because of this that it is doubly important that we remember him as who he was, not as what he has done. He was more than the thing that led to his death; there was so much of him left to give that has ...

Although Sophie Caco was raised by her aunt, Tante Atie until she was 12, a psychological connection created between Sophie and her natural mother, Martine, a bound that traveled beyond the distance that separated them, a bound that was in their genes. The inheritance is by far the predominant theme of Danticat’s novel and it explores how the familial past can influence one’s future.
As a teenager, Martine was continuously the subject of her mother testing her virginity. The author somehow suggests that this is a common practice in the Haitian families, although she addresses a letter to Sophie, at the end ...

Background

Janie was just a simple girl who grew up in her own place, with her own family. Of course, no one could deny that her parents loved her. It could not possibly be the reason why she left her hometown in Eatonville to search for the love that she always dreamed of ever since she was a child. The story started when Eatonville, Florida natives and Janie Crawford’s family got the news that Janie is returning to Eatonville again, all by himself. The news spread quite fast and Janie soon became the center of attention. Perhaps, being bugged by all ...

Jim bit his lip as he leaned against the door frame. He watched his wife open her suitcase and start packing her possessions into it. He knew that he hadn’t been a perfect husband, and he also knew that they’d been having problems for a while. There had been frequent arguments, slammed doors and the revving of engines as one of them drove off into the night, furiously wiping tear-filled eyes. It had been hard to bear, but he still loved her in spite of all that.

He watched as she packed the long, red dress she had bought ...

Photography is a form of art that shows the artist’s perspective in a snapshot. Photographers capture a moment in time in order to portray emotion and convey a particular message. Political photos serve as a detailed and informative example of this form of expression. Not only do they show us history in time, but they also preserve memories of the event, lest history cloud perceptions of how wars are waged. In the case of the Vietnam War, political photography was used by many pioneering photographers as a weapon, showing the horrors of the war on both foreign and domestic soil. Political photography proved to ...
