Analysis Of Just Be Yourself By Hale

E.E. Cummings explained “It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are.”

This quotation meaning is everyone individual values are all different because we all have different standards, a real life example is in this story. The parents of Jeannette Walls are homeless, living on the benches in the park, when she is up living in a New York City highrise.

The first part of the quote teaches you that you cannot be comfortable with other people, unless you are comfortable with yourself first. In other words, you have to be able to live with who you are and be confident in that. Although, being confident in yourself is a lot harder than it seems. Going through school as a teenager can be very difficult; that specific time of your life can determine what kind of a person you are or become. When you try to go through public schooling and you are not confident in who you are, it can be miserable. So much learning takes place during that time of your life, and if you can never be sure of yourself when you’re young, you will struggle when you make it to the “real world.” On the contrary, if you can stand strong in who you are, and not waver for the benefits of others, then you will be much happier in the end. Knowing who you are may not make

For me this quote means that you always have to be the best version of yourself, and that in life there will always be sacrificces in order to be succesful.

Even though it is a struggle, being yourself is the best thing that you can be. When trying to be yourself, it is common to face obstacles and hardships that can get in the way of achieving your goals. The character Squeaky from “Raymond’s Run”, by Toni Cade Bambara, faces obstacles and hardships, but in the end she learns that people should not expect her to be someone she is not. She learns to be herself, and no one else. The song, “She Used to Be Mine” by Sara Bareilles is all about being yourself. It deals with obstacles like facing your fears, and the idea that nobody is perfect. The story “Raymond’s Run”, explains how Squeaky, the main character, does not feel accepted by anyone. Her mother expects her to be a “typical girl”, and her

In the quote above, William Shakespeare, describes that a person needs to place who they are and being confident above everything else. Nothing is worse than regretting a situation in life because someone wasn’t being their true self. No one should ever let success, a relationship, or what people think of them get in the way of being who they are. They may be putting on a mask and acting like a different person to try and impress the popular group in school or someone that they really like. In the long run, they may miss out on a great friend or relationship where they are not judged . The 90’s film, “Clueless”, is a perfect example of this quote. The protagonist, Cher Horowitz, tries changing who she is to find a boyfriend. She wants to

Both of the articles for today centralizes around the issues regarding black inequalities. Kelefa Sanneh’s article “Don’t Be Like That” emphasizes on the two type of sociologists’ perspectives on blacks’ issues. The two categories that he placed sociologist was structuralist and culturalist. His take in the article was about whether or not black culture needs to be reformed in order for blacks to get out of the inequalities they are in. Meanwhile in Jennifer Roesch’s article, “Taking Racism Seriously”, she discusses that the reason for blacks’ inequalities is primarily due to economic inequalities. She agrees with Sanneh that inequality is not resulted from just blacks’ culture. In a sense, inequality is due to institutional structures and systems that has led to the construction of inequality.

Someone once said”, Every single person on the planet has a story Don't judge people before you Really truly know them they might surprise you.” This quote is telling that you shouldn’t judge that you yourself doesn’t even know that person and it’s not just talking about you it’s speaking itself to everyone. And this also, relates in the Novel The Outsiders, the Somebody that You don't even know before knowing the truth about them.

“Thank You For Arguing” is a novel written by Jay Heinrichs . In chapter 1, he repeatedly refers the word “Rhetoric” and how it is the motivation of the affect, the bond, and the power it has on persuasion. In this chapter the author lays out the basics of his personal life at home. Jay explains how he quit his job to be a stay at home writer. He made a deal with his Wife, Dorothy, that he would do the cooking and take care of their 17 year old son George. This is because Dorothy returned to her full time job. As the chapter goes one we learn from Heinrichs that arguing is very similar to the matrix and its manipulative ways. We also are provided with the history of persuasion, many well known people and even the Bible used the art of persuasion.

this quote is that one’s behavior (such as actions or speech) can show the soul of a person: who they really are. There is a strong connection between this quote and The Odyssey by Homer, specifically with Penelope. In Books 1, 4, 18, 19, and 21, Penelope grieves about Odysseus and Telemachus’ leaving in search of him, greets and treats her guest with hospitality, and deceives the suitors many times to prevent her marriage to one of them, characterizing her as caring, loyal, and a little evil. By showing these different sides of Penelope, Homer is telling his readers that women are not only the caring and motherly figures, but they are also intelligent and mixtures of various characteristics.

I think that Collins was trying to point out that people need to be themselves. When you are yourself and not trying to be someone else, people will admire you for who you truly are. - What struck me about this quote is the fact that maybe us as people, need to take a step back and figure out who we are. Instead of just going with the flow, we need to take our own path. People will notice this, and admire you.

The word “culture” can often be mistaken as geographical ways of living such as food, clothing, etc. However, culture is not only ways of living in different places, it is valuable practices that are passed on for years and years in a civilization. Language, government, morals, knowledge, religion, and food are all different components of one’s culture. Different cultures can be found in places ranging from large communities, to families, to the inner self of a person. In One World: A Global Anthology of Short Stories, many of the short stories, including “Among Strangers”, “Growing My Hair Again” and “The Third and Final Continent” exemplify the importance of culture.
