Everything I Never Told You By Celeste Ng

The quote "Character is what you are in the dark" - Dwight Lyman Moody has a few meanings. Mostly it means that you're different when you're alone. When you're around people they are influences of some sort. If you get into a situation when you're with people you might react differently than if you were alone, resulting in a different outcome. A lot of the time people aren't their true self around friends, or family, or whoever it may be for many reasons. A big reason is they don't want to be judged.

Their accounts give inside information about the North Korean regime which makes it possible to analyze to what extent society was an egalitarian utopia. The interview reveals that people were discriminated by social class as evident by those who were richer, and thus in a higher social strata, having more opportunities for success.

Just dive in. You can swim. It will clear all the burden you have endured throughout your life. It will be a fresh start. Trust yourself. The novel Everything I Never Told You, by Celeste Ng, examines how failure stems from the fear to express ourselves, which is caused by sexism and racism, thus placing a burden on victims of this discrimination. Unfortunately, racism and sexism are constant forms of discrimination that have been holding individuals back from reaching their full potential for centuries. Discrimination is due to the tragic reality that people are fearful of others who are different from them. They fear that this different race or gender may upstage them in the competition of life. The Lee family unfortunately has to bear the burden of discrimination in their everyday life due to racism and sexism. This burden carries the Lee family down like an anchor billowing to the bottom of the sea in hopes of finding peace once it hits the sea floor.

On a magnificent summers evening sat a dear friend of mine, Gabrielle. As Gabrielle and I spoke we didn’t only enjoy the company of one another, but the amazing scenery that engulfed all of our senses. With the suns’ rays perfectly glistening off of the almost glass like water which was at rest within the lake to the slight tickle of the wind blowing past us. Although this day was breathe taking nothing could have beat how brilliantly her eyes lit up as she talked about what truly drives her to be the wonderful free spirited person she came to be today.

Charlotte Figi, a little girl also known as Charlie, has been battling seizures since she was only three months old.

Throughout Elizabeth Jenning’s poem ‘Reminiscence’, she explores the changing nature of love and its transformation between childhood and adulthood. She indulges in the purity of love that exists within the simplistic aspects of children's lives as she discusses the loss of naivety during the ascendence into the complexities of adulthood. Demonstrating the innocence of childhood, Jenning’s displays a sense of freedom associated with their lack of anxiety and nuances. In opposition to such, adulthood is presented to confine Jennings as she deals with the concept of feeling trapped which results in her conflicting emotions that lead to a celebratory recollection of childhood ease.

During the early 20th century, the mainstream media pushed the narrative that it was America’s duty to go to war against the Spanish to liberate the Philippines. Due to the continuous media campaign to paint the Spanish as brutal killers, the American populous’ opinion about empire was swayed in favor of imperial rule over the Philippines. Thus, the former belief that America should remain neutral and respect state sovereignty was replaced by the belief that America’s role was to be the world’s policeman. Thus, due to public’s belief that Empire is necessary, America colonized and took over the states of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and The Philippines. In America is in the Heart by Carlos Bulosan, Bulosan explains how the militaristic and political dominance of the American empire caused many Filipinos to immigrate to America in hopes of achieving the American Dream; however, because of the increased immigration, anti-Filipino racism spiked, causing many Filipinos to feel disillusioned about the American Dream.
