In the film ‘Her’, directed by Spike Jonze, the main protagonist,Theodore Twombly conveys the idea of alienation via technology and its possible effects, due to his depression via his divorce and his easy going relationship with an artificial intelligence operating system named Samantha. The idea of alienation and technology and its possible effects on human relationships is conveyed via the quote, “Sometimes I think I have felt everything I'm ever gonna feel. And from here on out, I'm not gonna feel anything new. Just lesser versions of what I've already felt.” Theodore recently experienced is his divorce depression, and therefore becomes vulnerable, anti-social from society and isolated himself, by spending time with the artificial intelligence

Angela Findlay, an expert on the imprisoned and their rehabilitation, had the Lower Sixth form fully enthralled during their once a week Sixth Form assembly. She explained how participating in art whilst imprisoned can have a successful impact on the way the incarcerated are rehabilitated and how they may possibly learn to understand the impact their actions may have had on their victims or society as a whole.

I was definitely influenced by Maggie Nelson’s Bluets. Her words stroke me deep down my heart. She was honest with her memory and experiences. After reading Bluets, I realized that what I really want to deliver to my readers is the honesty my memory exactly murmurs to me. Nelson gave me some inspirations on the references I could use for my prose pieces. I was a traveler while reading her Bluets and was traveling through her works. The workshop process over the semester had some influences too. First of all, I rarely read my writings out loud because I get quite embarrassed to hear my cheesy writing out loud. During the workshop, I could not only hear others reading my work but also hear my piece of art in other vocal tone other than

In the article “Some things you’re better off not knowing… thoughts on ratemyprofessors.com,” by Aimee Morrison is a personal essay on her findings on RMP for the first time. This essay is purely an emotional analysis, and because she did not receive good comments and absolutely no hotness “pepper,” she is not for the website. She points out that reading responses is mostly emotional, but it is hard to justify its credibility, especially when she heard professors rating each other just to receive better ratings. Morrison also claims that a professor's teaching is purely fact, and not about personal feelings, so teachers would be “better off” not knowing what their students think about them and their teaching style. She checks for reflections on RMP so that it would feed her ego, but she claims it “does no harm” to her self esteem.

I, Kathryn Faith Lawhern, would make a great President. I am hard working and ambitious; I have what it takes to cause positive change and I care about the future of America. I have seen the struggles of my friends and neighbors and know my policies will have a positive impact on their lives.

“Evidence is immensely central to our lives,” stated Katherine Schulz. In the reading, “Being Wrong,” you learned how your interpretation of your beliefs and how you study what you’ve collected from your evidence could determine if your information is right or wrong, and in some situations bias. Back to the previously statement, “Evidence is immensely central to our lives,” this statement goes back to validating the way we think and how we interpret it into our everyday lives. For example, when you’re solving a math equation you use your evidence (or what you already know) to help you better develop the correct answer as possible. Schulz, implied that the way we think and take things into heave portrays how we view the world. Our minds are

Good art allows me to flee the realms of reality. In my mind's limitless consciousness, I can escape the mundanity of everyday life. It opens a door in my head to a world only limited by my imagination. I am no more a slave to gravity, chained down on the earth when I am reading. I can be a bird and soar high above the clouds, or be a fish and swim deep down in the darkest depths of the ocean. I am there, I am that person, and everything else around me regardless of what it is, fades away. Sometimes these people are the one's I'd like to be but sometimes I encounter nefarious characters I wholly condemn. I am able to feel the emotions that the artist intends for me to feel. However, it is not merely reading or listening, but understanding

Have you ever been listening to the radio and a really good song comes on? When this happens to me, I pause for a moment to gather my breath before I belt out each lyric with perfect tone deftness. One of these songs is Katy Perry’s “Unconditionally”, and I am going to argue that is better than her other songs, such as “Waking Up in Vegas”, for the following three reasons. First, the music is more complex than her usual upbeat pop style. Second, Katy Perry sounds more mature and beautiful in “Unconditionally”, but comes off as silly and girly in “Waking Up in Vegas”. Finally, the overall message of “Unconditionally” is more deep, and is more meaningful than “Waking Up in Vegas’s” message.

Art. To me is something undefinable, what I want my art to show you is a piece of myself and a piece of yourself. Something we can all relate to; a memory, a song, a poem, art should make you feel something. Art is a gift, a tool we can use to hide beauty in ordinary places and things. I want to broaden my understanding of design and the world that art is beyond my knowledge and experiences. Because my love for creating burns so bright and deep within me, I am determined to find a career path that will allow me to explore the world of design and art every day. A number of art forms are endless and this seems like a daunting task to find just one path that can express the enjoyment and involvement I want to have with art. Throughout my life I have been endlessly drawing, painting, sculpting and creating--often times I feel almost cursed with such talent to create because the ability seems endless. I have taken a number of art classes exploring my passions as a High School Student and created many different types of works including oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings; etching, embossed, and screen printmaking; charcoal, graphite, and pastel drawings; Sculpting with ceramics and plaster as well as wheel pieces. I find that there is few mediums I have yet to experiment with. I have become accustomed to Acrylic paintings as I have recently started to create paintings and sell them to community members. I participated in a local art fair and it opened my eyes to what art
