04/07/2013 Sacred Memories In N. Scott Momaday’s essay, “The Way to Rainy Mountain” and the 1985 movie The Trip to Bountiful the main characters of each, Scott Momaday and Mrs. Watts are each seeking their roots. A pursuit to live happier based on memories of the past in the case of Mrs. Watts and a replication of the migration the Kiowa’s, Mr. Momadays ancestors, took that landed them at Rainy Mountain. Mrs. Watts and Mr. Momaday both reach the end of their journeys but realize that without the people who were a part of these communities nothing is the same. The two works start their plots with the main characters, Mrs. Watts and Momaday already having made up their minds that they want to go back to each of their family homes. Momaday has a void in his life from missing his grandmother’s final days and her funeral, but he takes a specific path to her grave that he may have felt would help him understand things like customs and stories of the Kiowa people.
I was able to hold back most of the negative emotions brought on by having to describe the trauma of the accident, and it enabled me to create an essay unlike anything I have ever written. Music made my writing experience unlike any other and has aided me in creating and using a broader vocabulary and extensive use of detail. This shows how music has a heavy impact on my ability to think “outside of the box” and become more inspired. Being a music student I have found a lot of inspiration in music and it has made me a better writer. A specific instance where I

Jazquandeline Johnson 04/17/2012 GS1145 Strategies for the Technical Professional K. Pavlik SELF PORTRAIT Based on my self-assessments, my two closest intelligences are musical/rhythm, (13) and intrapersonal (12). I love music and I sing to myself all the time and I really do prefer to study and do my work alone. I’m uncomfortable around new people however I cope with my feelings of anxiety to accomplish my everyday goals. For as long as ii can remember, I’ve struggled with decision-making. When I took the “personality spectrum” assessment I understood more to why I struggle with this particular life skill.
American Romanticism “The Minister’s Black Veil “Beloved and respected as you are, there may be whispers, that you hide your face under the consciousness of secret sin. “The Devil and Tom Walker” Old Scratch offers Tom Walker great sums of money in exchange for "certain conditions." “Thanatopsis” “think of death like a happy, dream-filled sleep” Walden "If we live in the nineteenth century, why should we not enjoy the advantages which the nineteenth century offers? Why should our life be in any respect Provincial?” Body Paragraph For my romanticism project I have chosen four traits they are judgement , selfishness , nature, adventurous. In the book ministers black veil I think its about a priest who
Through this quote one can easily see how editing Twain’s masterpiece would be a queue for editors around the world to go and edit every inappropriate word of a dead writer’s work. Editing Twain’s piece of work would open up new arguments to revise ancient art that people would never change, and even some of Shakespeare’s master pieces. It is simply morally wrong to edit and completely change something without its creator’s permission. Moreover, one can see this reasoning behind the New York Time’s quote, “When ‘Huckleberry Finn’ was published, Mark Twain appended a note on his effort to reproduce ‘painstakingly’ the dialects in the book, including several backwoods dialects and ‘the Missouri negro dialect.’ What makes ‘Huckleberry Finn’ so important in American literature isn’t just the story, it’s the richness, the detail, the unprecedented accuracy of its spoken language. There is no way to ‘clean up’ Twain without doing reparable harm to the truth of his work.” This quote clearly shows if Twain were to be alive and see that his masterpiece was being completely reproduced, he would be infuriated and emotionally hurt.
I love to take responsibility when people can rely on me; thus whenever I could not accomplish it, I blame it on myself. I realized that I am such a Protector when I got the result by skimming back all the things that I have done for my family and my friends. I am an introverted person because I need my own private time to recharge myself. I do not like going to clubs and bars where there are so many people or the music is too loud. I always need to sit alone with soft music to think about what I have done each day in order to get myself ready to do other things.
In August 1878, Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky wrote his brother, “To regret the past, to hope in the future, and never to be satisfied with the present: that is what I spend my whole life doing.” Tchaikovsky is essentially stating that we must never be satisfied with the past and present, and as people, we must strive for the better good in our future endeavors. Due to his work and life ethic, Tchaikovsky has delivered absolute masterpieces for future generations. As a person, I try to emulate this belief so that, like Tchaikovsky, I become the best person I can and inspire others who share similar interests. My goal in college and beyond is to continue to grow, improve, and inspire. Although showing much musical ability at a very young age, Tchaikovsky
My writing process is like a real life story that people can relate to on an everyday life experience. You can see this in my first sketch of fear when I told you part of my story about how I went to six flags and broke my fear, by riding the giant drop. Now who do you know that couldn’t agree and relate to this experience? I feel like writing this way attracts a more bigger and better group of people. Only because I would like to read it too, you can’t just tell your audience that you were scared of something and that’s “fear”.
I used to envision my ‘ideal body’ until I realised I’m already living in it. This body of mine has seen me through nights when I worked in the lab like a crazy person, forgoing sleep and rest. It withstood severe illness and treatment which was almost as brutal. It piled on the pounds to protect me from threats – all of which were in my head, but felt real. I am in awe of all the ways my body has looked after me, and I can finally look after it as well.
