Reflection Of The Returned

In When We Fight, We Win by Greg Jobin-Leeds it says that “comparison can block compassion both for others and for ourselves.” I agree with such statement; I think that listening is a skill you learn throughout time. One can pretend to listen without really getting anything out of the conversation that one is having with that other person. In the Compassionate Listening workshop, I got to do it with Rachel Kurland and I sit and listened to her talking about the moment her friend treason her. I tried to understand her plight, why would she not cut that friendship off, I understood she loved her friend, however, I could not resist bringing my biases to our conversation. I asked myself, why is Rachel, such a good, loving, and smart person,

To be perfectly honest my recollection of Comp 121 is a little foggy, i took the course roughly a year and a half ago and during my first semester and it was one of my first college level courses. From what i can recall it was a interesting and enjoyable, The professor Jacob Sherlock is no longer with the school, but was a professional writer along with a life-long lover and student of the written word. We regularly discussed current events and the class wide give and take of various ideas and viewpoints was truly enlightening and are easily amongst my most enjoyable and memorable college experiences. In particular i vibrantly recall a passionate debate on gun-control which was to be frank, dominated by a extremely Conservative former Army

The novel, The Dead and the Gone, written by Susan Beth Pfeffer, has a dark and terrifying feeling. This book has haunting themes of family, faith, personal change, and courage about a young boy who takes charge for something he has never before. It devastates readers with brutal apocalyptic events that are yet, so detailed and descriptive that the novel will knock you off your feet. Alex Morales, a 17-year old boy who comes from a poor, Puerto Rican family. Alex is used to working hard for what he wants, and what he wants is to succeed.

Another antagonist in this book would probably be part of the setting. The country is on the verge of war and this causes the citizens of Yonwood to be more scared than usual. More persuasive to any ideas.

Recovery is a long and arduous process. I have attempted to recover from my eating disorder twice, and only been successful once. The first time I went into treatment for anorexia, I did not understand what it would take to get to a place where I had a healthy relationship with food and with myself. My assumption was that if I just started to eat, then everything would be fine. It was ignorant and naive to think that, and without tackling the root of the problems, it was not possible to get the healthy place I was searching for.

This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.

The purpose of this assignment is to discuss the contribution of reflective practice for clinical nursing. Reflection has been defined as a way for individuals to “capture their experience, think about it, mull it over and evaluate” (Boud et al 1985: 19)

Intern met with resident K. Brown for the purpose of addressing her personal concerns and speaking with her about her community service hours. Kiara informed me that she completed her community service hours for the previous week. Intern asked her to verify the days she completes CS hours, and she stated Sundays and Wednesdays. Resident did express her frustrations by saying that she used to mess up with her CS hours, but she is really trying to do better. Intern advised her that another resident completes hers during that time, so she will have to do CS hours on Mondays and Thursdays or Mondays and Fridays. Intern also explained to her the importance of doing CS hours. It was explained that not only is this a requirement of the program,

Throughout this novel, there are a few protagonist’s, Will’s father, Claire, The Yan’s family, Patrick and the Returners. However, the main protagonist is Will Hodges. Will Hodges is a teenager. There was not enough insight about how he looked like but the audience was well aware of how Will always felt. Will’s life was a disaster, he was being followed by a group of people who claim to know him from another time in history. These strangers claim there self's as the returners. Returners are reincarnated people. They carry with them the memory of atrocities they have witnessed in the past. Like slavery, the great depression and any other disaster that has changed the world. Will describes every one of them to have hollow eyes. At first, Will thought they were trying to suck him in and make him suffer with them. Only later he realises he is one of them and his eyes are also as hollow as theirs. Throughout the book Will gets dreams about things he cant put his finger on. Dreams like war, battleship and lots of gunfire's. At first he thought it was a case of bad dreams. Later on Will found out that the nightmares he always had were actual memories of what he has been through. The other returners stated that he was gone for 50 years and had recently returned. That’s why Will has forgotten everything and is not familiar with any of the

Dancers possess a dualistic lifestyle, always having to administer a balanced attention towards their academic courses and dancing careers. With so much to do in the short time of one day, it can seem overwhelming to constantly attempt to balance college life, dancing, and time for leisure, rest, and relaxation. Through trial and error I have managed to create a system which (more or less) helps me complete a hard week’s worth of work, however, there is always room for improvement. While reading the chapter “Rest and Recovery”, I noticed that some aspects of my schedule need adjusting and I need to implement more time for non-physical and centering activities such as meditation. The major problems I noted after completing the reading are my

During my first semester here at Stout I learned lot in all my classes but especially in my Composition 1 class. As I did not have the greatest English teachers in the past this semester was very helpful to me. Not only was I able to expand my composition skills but also how to think and develop my writing even further. I could apply these new skills in my speech class as well and it gave me a better help when preparing and presenting my speeches.
