When the class was told that we would have an obituary assignment, I thought it would be really interesting to do because when do you ever think to write your own obituary? I understand that writing the obituary would make it more surreal, that one day our life will come to an end. I remember you telling the class to try to put a picture of ourselves on our obituary to make us believe it really happened, so that’s what I did. I can say that after this assignment, it did make me think more about how I live my life and what things I should change.

The most important aspect of the Latin American culture has everything to do with honor. Women have the biggest responsibility when it comes to honor.

Many stories of famous outlaws always leave you wondering if it is true or not. When you hear about them it surprises you of the things they were capable of doing. Their legacy stays in history where for many years their stories will be told, but sometimes their extreme fame came from rumors people spread or by adding more to story. One of the many people whose fame came from mostly myths was Belle Starr.

The concept and belief of honor in the Columbian culture in Chronicle of a Death Foretold is one of the deciding aspects of the character's actions, motives, and beliefs.

To regain the honor of their sister, and their family the brothers believe it is their duty to kill Santiago Nasar. Could such

It is 5:30am on opening morning of deer hunting season and my alarm explodes into a racket that would wake an army. I roll out of bed and rub the sleep from my eyes. I only slept six hours last night because my family and I were preparing for the hunt, getting the guns ready, laying out a clothes-man, everything. As I throw some pants on, the smell of fresh pancakes wakes me up. It is at this time I realize the season is upon us. Since January I have been waiting for this day to come, today begins the annual nine day season that brings our family together each November.

Response: A news story about death occurs when a person loses their life unnaturally through some type of tragedy like a murder or housefire. Obituaries, on the other hand, focus on people who die naturally because of an illness or old age. Also, prominent citizens who die, tend to have their obituaries written as news stories by reporters. When looking inside a newspaper, obituaries are found on the “obituary page”, while news stories about death usually appear alongside other breaking news. Are obituaries about death, though?

Days 60, 61 and 62 of summer 2015: the heat has clearly gone to my head, hence the reason for no posts the past few days. As happy as my vitamin D levels are right now, I find myself getting way too excited for the school year. Many of my friends and family members already know but, since everything is officially in the works, I can announce that I am switching my major to Nursing and starting my pursuits at Penn Valley this coming fall. After a challenging year at UMKC I found myself not getting the same enjoyment from music as I have for the past 18 years of my life. After a lot of praying and talking with my family, I decided that I wanted to go back to loving music on my own terms. Music will always be a huge part of my life but I feel

Author Joseph Campbell once wrote that life can be split into three things. These things are stuff that can't be talked about, words that describe these things, and the boring everyday talk we find ourselves in. However, there have been a series of poems that can help deal with the things that are hard to talk about. Each poem is different, yet they have one thing in common Love.

I decided to write this in pencil, knowing it would have to be transcribed onto a computer later because it seemed natural. I forgot how easy they are to use when time has given me so much technology, time has given me a computer. Natural seems the most appropriate thing to do when referencing a story about love. Love is something ironically so cliché and so important that I always take it for granted, like this beautiful piece of yellow painted wood with a small number two engraved into it. Like love, when using a pencil sometimes mistakes are made, but the eraser like time doesn’t fully cover them up ever. Pretending mistakes don’t exist, doesn’t make them go away, only writing something more profound over it can make it seem that way. I
