Can you tell I’m dying inside? Or do I hide it much too well? This false smile of mine has been plastered on my face for as long as I can remember. And remember I do, even though I try so hard to forget. Isn’t it cruel how the memories that we desperately want to erase are the ones that we can never shake? These memories haunt me every waking moment of my life…and sometimes follow me into the land of dreams. As if watching them constantly replay in my head during the day isn’t enough! Sometimes…

This past year a lot of eye catching movies made it to the big screen, one that particularly stood out to me was the heist film, Now You See Me. The movie stars a few well-known people such as Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo, Isla Fisher, Woody Harrelson, and Dave Franco. The movie in a nutshell is very well explained by the synopsis provided by IMDB “An FBI agent and an Interpol detective track a team of illusionists who pull off bank heists during their performances and reward their audiences with…

The qualities I seek within, the best version of me that I can be now, is really nothing extravagant or exaggerated as I seek to advance myself within human capabilities. I do not wish to become a superhuman or superior to others. What I truly seek is to become a person that is open to the opinions of others, one who can logically and calmly rationalize my actions, have a dignified appearance and confidence in personality, all while having a sense of authority regarding my own actions. An important…

You can hear him from the corridor. Neil Young is kicked back on a lounge chair in the focal point of his suite at New York 's Carlyle Hotel one late morning, cutting without end at the series of his acoustic guitar. His wet hair is brushed back and he 's wearing a T-shirt that says "Earth," with pants and shoes. He puts his beat-up 1940s Martin – past proprietor: Hank Williams – by him on the sofa. "Take a seat, make yourself at home," he says. Simply then, his Samsung telephone rings; the ringtone…

Catch Me If You Can and Its Effect on Society I will be discussing the film Catch Me If You Can and its effect on society. Society is everything we see around us - the atmosphere we live in and the place we call home, the average people and their beliefs and what is accepted and what isn’t. It is in other terms, the world around us. In the film, society is represented as a gullible, and stereotypical place, as people tend to generally go with what they see, and believe everything they see. In some…

Could it be that you love not me? I lay awake on a freezing winters night. It was as cold as an arctic snowstorm, and as dark as a planet with no sun. My eyes were open as wide as a deer 's in front of a moving vehicle. There was one thing on my mind, and one thing only, the love of my life. Her long silky hair, her smooth, tanned skin, her pristine beauty and her effervescent, god-like personality were all I ever desired; She was as sweet as a honeycomb and as unique as a sparkling snowflake in…

I hear you Hanna. I remember how hard it is beginning on the road and you have people watching your every move. I thought Cris was very creative in the way she handled the young lady at the beginning of the Chapter 1. It is extremely hard to demonstrate classroom management strategies in addition to teaching reading strategies while you are beginning observed by twenty teachers. First, she built a reluctant relationship with the student by acknowledging that the girl had a legitimate claim about…

Holler If You Hear Me: There were many diverse aspects to this book. Most of this book is a recall from either the main character, or one of his students. This book is intended to open people’s eyes to see that in order to change the world we must first change ourselves. Being able to go through this story and see the mistakes, and the good decisions, teachers in Michie’s life have made, has taught me that the best way to teach is through love, justice, cultural empathy and imagination. Some of…
