The Dharma Bums Passage Analysis

Now, I’m not afraid of roller coasters and heights. This is great because every time I go somewhere that is very high, I get so scared and back away and I asked to go home. Also, every time I go to an amusement park, I would usually take the fun away because roller coasters are the most greatest ride to go on and it would make my parents unhappy. This time, however, I made my family happy because it was the best time they ever had at Six Flags. Sometimes it is good to take some risk to get over with any fears. I’m glad I

I can’t go on ferris wheels, rock walls, or go up on the highest level of seats at AT&T Park without freaking out. When I climb on an actual mountain, I lose all my fears until I look down. One of my nicknames in the family is “mountain goat”. We were once on a trip to Arizona to meet up with my mom’s cousin’s family. They are so fun one of them has an afro and the other went outside climbed up a tree and jumped on the roof, and finally yelled down the chimney. To get back to the story, we were climbing one of the smaller mountains(which was still pretty high).We were seven-eighths of the way done when I looked down at where my family was. When I saw that they weren’t that far away from me, I looked behind them and saw how far down we were. I immediately turned and started freaking out. We were so close to reaching the peak, but I insisted that we head down. It’s really ironic that my nickname is mountain goat, but I’m afraid of

     All people have fears, whether they like to admit it or not. Their goal should be to get over those fears, whether they are of heights, swimming, speaking in front of large crowds or even something more minor. Getting over the most basic fears can mean so much to people and push them further until they have accomplished a lot of things that they want to get done. For example, someone who is afraid of heights should pick something (like bungee jumping) that has to do with heights and try it just to prove to himself that he has the ability to do anything that he allows himself to do. Sure, what he does might scare him, but how else can he ever expect to get over his fear? Another example, if a man wanted to ask a woman out on a date, he should ask her instead of sitting around and waiting for the love of his life to fall into his lap. Everything a person does

As Michael James explains“They beat the shit out of you..They’re yelling ‘Stop resisting!’ Stop resisting!’ when you’re not even moving.”...I couldn't stand it no more...I’ve knocked myself out by running full force into the wall” (Tapley 216). He expresses hhow he wasnet doing anything and yet the guard would slam his head to wall,punh, poke and all while he was handcuffed. He mentions how he understand punihment is suppose to be placed when an inmate is out of line but, he makes it clear that he doesnt have to do anything to get beaten by the guards. Michael story is the same as many other inmates. James had harsh childhood and now his prison days increase the chances for him to get mentally ill when he entered solitary confinement for

“Fear is courage,holding on a minute longer”. It means you shouldn’t give up on anything and keep trying. Tenzing Norgay is an example,he was fearful of climbing Everest but held on and was the first in history to summit.

I have this fear of heights. Ever since I was little I have always had this fear. At the environmental field trip (EFT) in Trinity Pines the zipline was around 200 feet from the ground and overlooked a valley of fallen trees and vast green sagebrush.

In chapter 8-10 in The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, Ponyboy and Two-bit look around the hospital and find Johnny in critical condition, when they are talking to him about a big brawl coming up, the nurse walks in saying that Johnny's mother is there to see him. With that, Johnny goes crazy saying how she doesn’t really care and ends up knocking himself out cold, so Pony and Two-bit are forced to leave. When they were resting on a bench, Two-bit finds that Pony has a fever but Pony pleads for him not to tell Darry.

Darry’s old

Zig Ziglar, a motivational speaker, once said, “Fear has two meanings: ‘Forget Everything and Run,’ or, ‘Face Everything and Rise.’” Everyone has the freedom to make their own choices in life, but it is the choices people make that will determine their cowardliness or heroics. The nonfiction novel, A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson, clearly states what he is afraid of before starting out on the 2,190-mile long trek on the Appalachian Trail. Bill and his friend, Katz, have to learn to deal with their fears head on instead of running away from them. In the article, “10 Signs That You Might Have a Fear of Failure” by Guy Winch, describes how some people place their ego and pride above their success.

In the opening of the passage book The Tribe. It begins when Bani remain unseen from his uncle Osama, while his mother trying to confuse his uncle that there are no men in the house. The narrator use simile to describe his uncle voice “he screams like a goat gasping for air” (Ahmad, 2014), in which he refers how fast he is speaking. Clearly the narrator contradicts from subject matter to him talking about the house of Adam and characterizing his Tayta, as well as comparing his own hand to his father and his uncle Ibrahim.

He prophesies that Siddhartha will return to the river in the future, and that Siddhartha will give him a gift at that time.

I don’t see any problem about the words and language he uses, but it sounds overstated. The way he described Ray’s fear is more like life and death situation, which is not a big deal for some people. The passage explains how scared he is during that time that he cannot even think and relax. I like the way he phrases the passage because it helps me understand what he really feels. In addition, the passage makes me smile because I know how he feels. I am afraid of heights and I cannot pull myself to go higher every time we climb the Mission Peak in Fremont. It sounds funny, but fear is all over me. The only difference between me and Ray is he figures out that he cannot fall off the mountain and I never feel the same way. I feel relieve when I

Have you ever been on top of a large building and were too afraid to look over the side? Have you ever climbed a really tall tree and were too afraid to climb down? I have, when I was younger I climbed a really tall tree and when I got to the top I looked down, I was too afraid to climb back down. What I was experiencing was a fear of heights know as acrophobia. Acrophobia (n.d.) according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is an abnormal dread of being in a high place:  fear of heights. I believe that most people become a little scared when it comes to heights. There is nothing wrong with having acrophobia to an extent. It is a defense

Remember the feeling you get when when you’re at the top of a roller coaster and you’re climbing and climbing and are about to go down? Well, that’s how I feel right now but with no one around me to hold my hand nor comfort me when I am scared. I felt as if i was going to fall. I saw the city from above and could see the whole world around me. I saw the leaves rustle, for the wind is stronger up here. I look to see who would be following me, but no one was there. Should I fall or should I wait for someone to come rescue me up here?
