Crossed Reflection Paper

We all have read many different books and stories and have found many similarities between ourselves and different characters. One of the novels I have read during this summer is called,“Across Five Aprils”. In this novel, there was one character that I felt as if she was most like me. Her name is Jenny Creighton, the daughter of the Creighton family, whose only fourteen years old, in loved with a schoolmaster named Shadrach Yale. This girl and I have lots of characteristics in common, such as own point of views, tend to take care the family, and love without thinking.

I also think we are similar because he had trouble thinking for himself and sometimes I feel like I just “go with the crowd” as well. Me and Andy are different though because although my dad wants me to do well he thinks there are more important things than sports.

DNA doesn’t make a family, love does. One of my favorite TV shows is the Fosters. A character that I am similar to is Callie off of the Fosters. First, Callie and I are very similar in many different ways. Second, she is very kind just like me. Last, Callie can be very stubborn at times but not all of the time. As can be seen, in my opinion a character that I am similar to is Callie off of “The Fosters.”

Amongst the works that we've read so far it was hard for me to truly pick someone that I related to beyond a generic level. After thinking I picked "Queenie" from A&P. She and I are not an exact match, but there are definitely similarities between us that go beyond the surface.

One way Alice Paul and I are similar is that we’re both strong leaders. When I was eight, my parents got divorced. This was the start of years of family drama that is still going on to this day. I was so young-I still am. As much as I want to, I know there is nothing

I choose to do my discussion on “The Yellow Paper” because of the meaning and core values behind it. Being a feminist it was a story that I could relate to and it drew me in immediately. In the past woman’s opinions and ideas were highly disregarded. The ideally were married, stayed in the home to clean, cook, and taking care of their children. I feel like this piece strongly represented this era and that woman were highly aware of constraints put on them based off of their gender. I loved the idea that it was all about individual growth and that just because you have a partner does not mean you should stop that growth. The messages she portrayed in this short story are profound to not only her era but ours as well.

Goldilocks and I are also similar in the way that we be both tried and got away with things sometimes. In the story, she went into the bear's house, and took their porridge without asking. We were also

The method of scaling as it relates to the interpretation and establishing a strategic plan of attack in a high crime area to maximize results was introduced to me early in my career as a police officer. However, I did not know at the time that the concept of scaling was being utilized. In 2006 when I completed my probationary period, I was immediately assigned to high crime and high call volume area of South Memphis. We called the area “the box,” it was a six-block section of a community with most populated streets running north and south with the borders running east and west. There were some days I started and ended my shift in the same area averaging about nine to thirteen calls on any given day. I got assigned to a shift task force where

I choose the following questions or reflections to research for my second paper in Theology 104. The first question that I chose to reflect on was, did Jesus need to be born of virgin? Yes Jesus, in my opinion, did need to be born of a virgin. If Jesus had not been born of a virgin, we possibly would have not known of his existence because in the Bible it say’s Jesus was born of a virgin this makes him a God-Man, he is both a son of man and the son of God. If God had been born only as a son of God Jesus would not been able to do the things that he has done.

I didn’t know what to choose but I did know that either one of the choices would make a huge impact on my life, was I going to stay with, the same team or adventure out to a new one?

On June 11, 2012 at almost 10 pm, I slipped while running in flip flops trying to reach my boyfriend before his Jeep pulled out of the driveway. As I fell, my ankle bent back snapping, making a loud crack, and causing my leg to be trapped underneath my back. Crying out in pain, I managed to flip myself face down in the wet grass, relieving the pressure on my leg. I screamed for help for what felt like hours before someone inside the house realized I was hurt. My friend’s whole family came outside to try to help, while someone called my boyfriend to come back and take me to the hospital. With the help of 3 people, I managed to stand up and my way to hop to the Jeep as my broken ankle flopped back and forth. Upon arriving at the hospital, I was rushed to the X-ray room to access the damage that had been done. I remember the comment the technician made to my boyfriend after I was sent to a room to wait, “We still need to take her for a CT scan to know the full extent of the damage, but from the looks of the X-ray’s, there is no way those bones are going back together without surgery. The ankle is shattered.” Those words were burned into my head as I was taken for a CT scan and then finally returned to my bed. I remember finally feeling calmer as they put the IV in my arm and injected me full of drugs to help with the immense pain. The doctor came in to tell me that I had a bimalleolar fracture and explained that I multiple fractures on my fibula and my tibia. The only fix would

Flesh is an 11 year old boy who currently lives with his grandparents. Flesh’s medical records indicate that he was born three months premature, his grandmother stated that his mother would smoke and drink weekly throughout the pregnancy. Flesh has limited contact with his parents, the last time he saw them was three years ago. Flesh describes his father verbally and physically abusive and felt he could never talk to his dad. After his birth Flesh’s mother brought him to the grandparents house and only came back to visit every year or so at most. In school Flesh’s behavior is hostile towards the school staff and other students, he has been in juvenile detention three times. When speaking of the future Flesh states he wants to “make a lot of money” but doesn't know how he will.

In my previous reflection, I elaborated on the concept of daydreams and how the subconscious mind feeds into our conscious ambitions. Art is meant to be an expression of emotions rather than the intellect. Therefore, art should be autonomous from restriction since the subconscious mind is also autonomous from the strain of restrictions. However, certain philosophers believed that specific criteria should be involved in the process of creating and viewing art. While I agree with Plato’s theory that responses to beauty are expressed through emotions rather than intellectuality, I disagree with his stance on the role of the artist within society and the negative influences on those who indulge in the experience of aesthetical pleasure. While Schopenhauer also contributed agreeable statements about art, his primary theories are distasteful and pessimistic. He views art from a gloomy point of view and claims that life itself is a “pointless game”. I believe that the expression and indulgence of art promotes a positive and therapeutic reaction within the soul which provides spiritual nourishment and encouragement. If we approach art without openness, we are bound to agree with the controversial opinions of Plato and Schopenhauer.

“Ugh! No!” that was my first reaction when my mom told me that I had to ride a plane alone. 13 hours! How am I supposed to endure that long time, by myself? Is she seriously expecting me to be fine after? I thought it was ridiculous and impossible. However, from the deep corner of my mind, something ensured me that I’m going to be fine. Rachel, you will be going to have a free time that no one will disturb it, that voice was even luring me! So, of course, I fell into that lure.

Interpersonal Communication in Social Relationship is the topic I chose in writing about a reflection paper on the indie movie that is directed by Jay Abello, Red.
