Although the changes in Gil are progressive throughout the movie, he ultimately reaches generativity through providing nurture and guidance to his children. This is especially apparent in his relationship with his son Kevin, who’s school expressed concerns of his emotional problems and wanted to transfer him to a special education school the following year. It is obvious that Gil desperately wanted to leave a legacy of himself behind to Kevin, yet gets
Mitchell Heyne Composition 2 January 7, 2014 Unit 3 Assignment 1 Summary Response Paper “Wow, this isn’t a bad article” I said to myself as I was reading “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” The point of this article is that people are losing the ability to concentrate for long periods of time, especially if they have no interest in the subject. Some people see this as a mental disorder, however, this is due to people trying to look for a quick fix and not doing the thorough research. I will agree that the way people are thinking is indeed changing, some for the good, but most for the bad as well. Search engines are rerouting our memory. According to one article in Science magazine, we're not necessarily losing our ability to remember things.
On Monday, when the world celebrates the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., the family of his brother will say a prayer for a figure that has been largely lost in history – King’s younger brother, Alfred Daniel “A.D.” King. “A.D.

More than describing his reasons, he hopes that many other people identify with his ideas, so he don’t feel as the only one who degrades computers’ function.

Nowdays, people started to forget that the internet and new media technologies intersperse our notice but the book helps to keep our attention. So people need to read a books in order to improve their attention. In the article “ Does the Internet Make you Dumber or Smarter?, “ Nicholas Carr asks question that does the internet make people dumber or smarter?.

Sadly, people who are truly themselves, and stick to their values and beliefs tend to be alone and get overlooked often, but that’s not their problem. Just because some people use their brain, it doesn’t mean they’re boring.

It seems that from both stories the characters carry out very different actions, but they all have a fundamental bond, selfishness and the desire to be something they are not. It also seems that they are judged in the eyes of the narrator, as either succeeding or failing due to the way they carried themselves throughout the story, we feel the failure at the beginning of two stories, than we see some kind of becoming better people at the end. The authors uses many ironic situations in these two stories “The Necklace” and “A Good Man Is Hard To Find” to reveal how greed can affect a life. People still know the old proverb which says: "Money does not buy happiness." It has been said in many different ways over the time, but for some odd reason, mankind cannot take hold of those words of truth.
I need to set goals in each one of my classes and stay focused and put my school work first. The accomplishments I have made in the past relate to the information I have learned about myself in the self-assessments. In the past when it came to school work I had a tendency to become unorganized.
