Walkabout Essay

The movie “Breaking Away” presents the story of a young man from working class origins who seeks to better himself by creating a persona through which he almost, but not quite, wins the girl.

Everyday, Brother takes Doodle to Old Woman Swamp and the same thing happens: he grabs his little brother, stands him up, then Doodle collapses soon after. Through hard work and perseverance, Doodle eventually learns to walk on his own. Brother gains confidence in Doodle, and now believes in his own ability to do nothing wrong. In Old Woman Swamp, Brother also creates a development program for Doodle. Brother and Doodle’s relationship is beginning to flourish, “Doodle and I spent lots of time thinking about our future. We decided that when we were grown we’d live in Old Woman Swamp and pick dog-tongue for a living...Mama and Daddy could come and live with us if they wanted to. He even came up with the idea that he could marry Mama and I could marry Daddy” (Hurst 4). The daily trips Doodle and Brother take to Old Woman Swamp together slowly strengthen their bond. The beauty of Old Woman Swamp allows Doodle to imagine a perfect world. His innocence causes him to not understand that his idea of a ‘perfect world’ is never going to become a reality. Brother is old enough to know everything Doodle is imagining is a lie, but the picture he is painting is so serene, that all Brother could think to do was to agree. Doodle cherishes every second he has with his older brother, and Brother realizes how precious his little brother really is. Old Woman Swamp is a land of fantasy, whose warmth and comfort gives the two brothers a safe haven.

When the Constitution was written, few opportunities were had to learn about presidential candidates. Become of that; the job for the Electoral College to choose the President.

From the natural upbringing of technology and service industries, we have mass media at our fingertips. We have the ability to look up candidates, their platform, hell, maybe even what they ate for dinner. The Electoral College is an outdated service now distorting the sheeple of our generation, giving higher power to smaller states, distorting the media, excluding campaigns, etc. No equality within the vote.

Tension still wracked the murderer's body, and his nerves remained on edge, however, both had started to dissipate some on his entry to the mall. Headed directly to Hannah, his senses were tuned for danger, but he apart from a couple of curious gazes, no-one paid Todd undue attention, and everything had become louder, clearer, every word and snippet of conversation, every flash of movement was notied and stored away, the exits scanned and the most direct route out of Tatiana's found. It was almost like he was on a hunt, hypersenstivie to even the smallest movement or sound, and rather than his pulse quicken when he tossed the newspaper down on the table in front of her, it slowed down. Time slowed down, and the words that slipped from his

Many feel they are living a life surrounded by ghosts- people they don’t know but

1.      What am I talking about? I am the thief of productiveness and time. I sound simple, but in fact I’m quite complex. I am a strange phenomenon.

Procrastination, putting things off until the last minute, can have serious consequences on a person's life. I fully agree with this statement because I have personally been affected by procrastination, waiting until the last minute will never do you any good. The main reason why procrastination isn't a great idea is because the amount of stress that comes along with doing things at the very last minute.

It is very hard to take care of the small detail when you're in such hurry just to complete the project.
