What would you do if you had the opportunity to make 3 wishes? Would you do it?

Neglected and left for dead, man’s best friend shows the importance of never leaving its companion’s side. Under circumstances of weakness, mankind tends to put aside important factors of their daily lives and focus on themselves. However, a dog even when suffering internally, will put aside its pain and strive for its companions love and approval. Updike in the poem, Dog’s Death, uses the concept of diction, imagery, and symbolism to show readers the loyalty of a dog throughout its life no matter the circumstance that approaches its daily life.

Have you ever wondered who’s behind the little voice in your head that tells you, “You can’t do this. You do not have what it takes to make a difference, so why even try?” His name is FEAR and he plays the role of antagonist in the story of your life. You must rid yourself of FEAR, as it robs you from being your best. It keeps you from seeing the best in others.

What is the best way to raise the future? Is it “Chinese Parenting” or “Western parenting”? This controversy aroused in 2011 when an excerpt from Amy Chua’s memoir, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother was published in the Wall Street Journal. Amy Chua is a Harvard graduate, Yale law professor, and a Chinese mother Sohpia and Lulu. Chua’s interpretation and execution of being a Chinese parent has sparked controversy from parents across the globe. Chua has received rapport from “Readers from Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan.” Although, in China readers thought her memoir was trying to promote youth liberties. On the other hand, Chua’s novel stunned readers from Western Europe and Scandinavia, and infuriated the United States. In her re-published novel she includes an afterword in which she details the backlash she has received. For instance, Meredith Vieira said, “Just some of the things people are saying about you: ‘She 's a monster.’ ‘The way she raised her kids is outrageous.’”(Chua 231) As a response to Chua’s memoir and Wall Street Journal article many educators and parents have published their support or dismay. Professor of Clinical Psychology, David Rollock and Ph.D Psychology student Priscilla Lui of Purdue University are co-authors of “Tiger mother: Popular and psychological scientific perspectives on Asian culture and parenting” from the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, an article that raises concern for the mental health of children raised by tiger parents.

Tear Stained Character The crisp night air blew the curtains in my pink bedroom as me and my older cousins played charades among Christmas lights that I had hung up earlier that day. We giggled and screamed and made music videos to loud songs and made up jokes that would last a lifetime; as the night progressed we only had more fun.

When she left the rest of us, my nine year old cousin my sister and I, all clambered into the big queen blow up bed which we had covered with an assortment of

“The Elephant Vanishes” Analysis “The Elephant Vanishes” is an old Japanese short story that was published in 1993. It was written by an intelligent Japanese author named Murakami Haruki. He is a well-respected writer, who wrote this story by using a clear and calm tone. He uses this technique to develop his theme of unbalance that mixes with reality with a fictional plot. To develop the theme, Haruki creates a strong narrator, who tries to maintain his sanity from feeling unbalance. However, when the narrator could not, he continues to investigate the missing elephant. Later in the story, the narrator noticed how the elephant’s absences changed his behavior, and lost control of himself. Murakami established a strong, effective narrator, symbolism of unbalance, and imagery to portray his theme of unbalance for “The Elephant Vanishes.”
