After taking this class, I was excited to go and look at the art. My husband, unfortunately was not as excited. One of the paintings that intrigued me was Romare Bearden’s Conversation. This painting was

In the essay, Aria, he was forced to study English and Richard Rodriguez resented the loss of intimacy in the family. However, he, later, discovered his love in books. Richard Rodriguez switched from hating English to fall in love with books. Education has changed his mind; therefore, changed him. He confesses: “What I am about to say to you has taken me more than twenty years to admit: A primary reason for my success in the classroom was that I couldn’t forget that schooling was changing me and separating me from the life I enjoyed before becoming a student” (598).
Another reason I decided to choose body work for my project was because I always thought that I would want to do it but I wasn’t sure. This project has showed me that it is something I would enjoy for the rest of my life because you always have something to show for all the hard work you’ve done. Not many people have the chance to say that they completely rebuild a 1970 chevelle SS. I can and I am so proud of that because not only is this car life changing but it is also sentimental because if I was to ever lose my dad ill always remember all the work that we have put into this car and how we have done all of it together. I am one day going to be able to share this same experience with my son because I am a car junkie I just love cars they are so amusing how much technology has changed from back then.
Almost every art major that I have spoken to or read about has said that when they explained their major to someone else, that it was a negative reaction. Many people in society don’t believe that being an art major is a reasonable career choice. There is an entire boat full of opportunities in the art field, but the question still remains: is it worth the college tuition? When going into a college major, many students would like to know what direction they could go with their major in the future. With art majors, there is an abundance of job opportunities.
Events like this in the past showed George the tremendous amount of trust and faith Lennie has in him because he listen to George no matter what since early in their childhood and because they grew up together. Throughout the novel, Steinbeck refers to a dream … the American dream, George and Lennie’s dream. This dream is the strong pathway of the wonderful friendship and is something that both George and Lennie share. They talk very confidently about dream so it makes the reader feel as if it will definitely happen, however George knows somewhere in the back of his mind that it is not possible. But he keeps this from Lennie because of his obsession with it.
In every test or quiz given to them, they get mastery or above on them because they study and read over their notes every night. They encourage and empower me to renew my commitment to my education. Whenever I don’t feel motivated or just feel like giving up, I think of them and remind myself that they didn’t reach that level naturally or because they are geniuses. They reached that level because they took advantage from the beginning and practiced good study habits so the information stuck to them. And so in short, they worked hard for it and put effort into it.
One of the most important aspects is preserving my friendships. Ellington was so close and acknowledged of his friends and band-members that he was able to compose music that fit their personalities. This goes to show that he spent many hours getting to really know these people and built a strong bond with them. His story has taught us that the more friends we have the better, because we all can benefit from having more friends. Ellington has also taught me that it is okay if things get tough but at the end its how tough we are that define whether or not we can succeed accomplish our career and study
In the chapter "The Lives of the Dead", Tim O'Brien shares the compassion he felt for a young girl in his early childhood. Although he was young and naive, the feeling he developed for this girl was real. After a single date to the movies, he knew that he was in fact in love. As time with on, this feeling grew stronger, causing it to become his first priority. Reading this chapter reminded me of the young boy I had left behind before coming to America.
I did enjoy everything I learned on peer reviews and how effective those can be. Especially since I have been able to apply them to my job and to help expand my boss from just mundane comments to actual constructive reviews. Plagrisim is something that has been touched on since I was in middle school, possibly even elementary school but I can’t exactly remember back THAT far. Seeing how it has affected people in the spotlight has shed some huge light onto how it is a serious offensive and isn’t to be taken lightly. Sometimes I will draw and I have friends who are artists and someone taking their work and not giving them credit is a huge offense to them.
