educate my audience about the proper procedures for undergoing cataract surgery. CENTRAL Idea/Thesis: With the numerous issues that comes with aging, some forms of poor vision is one that can be treated. INTRODUCTION I. For over a year I have been slowly losing my independence. Blurry vision in both eyes hindered my ability to drive safely; reading traffic signs, recognizing faces, even judging distances became a problem. Eyeglasses and contact lenses helped somewhat, but I still couldn’t see
Moving On Benjamin Oh Another sunset without my beloved standing here next to me as I patiently wait for my time to come. It’s been 25 years on this lonely road, empty hallways filled with the sound of silence along with dark nights where shadows can’t find me. It’s a heck of a journey for a 65 year old man with nothing left, my parents passed away 15 years ago and before that I had lost my beloved wife. There’s nothing left for me. Molly was her name. She does me good, and not harm, all
My Tra Dang 4849 Garson Way Maycomb, AL 34677 August 31st, 1935 Readers of Maycomb Journal 3425 Freedom Way Maycomb, Al 34677 Dear readers, I was at the courthouse yesterday to watch the trial in which Tom Robinson ended up being convicted of raping a white woman, Mayella Ewell. After seeing all of the things Atticus tried to show everyone, I simply couldn't believe my eyes that the jury could finally find Tom guilty. I have to say that I strongly disagree with the verdict, which should be reconsidered
Oedipus Blindness is one similarity between Lear and Oedipus. Even though Lear wasn’t physically blind he couldn’t differentiate between genuineness and cunning. He couldn’t see that his two oldest daughters were deceiving him and Cordelia loved him most. [“For we Have no such daughter. Nor shall ever see That face of her again. Therefore be gone Without our grace, our love, our benison.” (Act I, Sc I, Ln 265-267) ]. He proved his blindness again when Kent posed as one of his servants after being banished
10/18/2012 “Just close your eyes for a minute. Picture this. The view of the ocean shoreline passing through your eyes.. Cool and breezy wind flying through your face as your loved one sits next to you. Come today to enjoy parasailing with us high up in the sky”. The advertisement on the television rambled on about how interesting parasailing is. My dad exclaimed, “Let’s go parasailing! It seems like a fun adventure.” My heart dropped. Never in a million years would I have thought that he would
named “Celestial Eyes,” isn’t a picture that describes the novel in a literal sense. Instead, it uses vibrant colors, significant design settings, and small details to portray the novel both figuratively and symbolically. There are many different analyses that could possibly describe “Celestial Eyes,” but no one can be positive about the deeper meaning behind Cugat’s artwork. What caught my attention first in the painting were the two mysterious eyes that the piece was named after. My interpretation
People believes that when the end of the world comes all humanity would be gone, people will go crazy and kill each other but is the end really great or bad. chapter 1 Hi my name is Falisha Jones and this is a story about when every thing changed all of a sudden.
Who am I? I’m Kestrel Night. I’m in jail now for reasons I have yet to comprehend. I’m sentenced for murder. It has been months since I entered jail. They say I killed my brother. Nobody came to visit me as the months passed. Not even my parents. They believe I killed him. I believe I’m innocent. Do you? What they don’t know is that I was at home, finishing my Biology report which was due the following day. I was listening to songs through my headphones; therefore I didn’t hear the loud shot coming
When I learnt that my squadron was in Greece, I wasted no time. The next day early in the morning, I went to the hospital and said farewells to my doctors and to Nurse Mary Welland. I got on my Hurricane’s cockpit and flew South-East away from Alexandria. After a few hours, I realized that I wasn’t flying over the Mediterranean Sea. Where was I heading? I checked my map and figured out that I was flying the wrong direction. I didn’t have much fuel left, I had to land somewhere. I checked my map
Beatrice’s Diary, Entry 2 Wedding I couldn’t believe what has happened. I couldn’t believe Claudio thought it. It was Hero’s weddings and I was a bride’s maid. As I walked up the stone path towards the church, there were white roses on either side of the path. The church looked large and the painted double doors were open. Soon the church was full of people. Benedick was the first person I noticed walking in with Claudio, Benedick wasn’t too happy about being best
Thousand and One “What day are you guys planning on going back to Maryland?” I asked my grandparents, who had came down to visit. The morning was beautiful, the rays of the sun warmed my cool cheeks as we stood outside waiting for my mom to finish paying the bill. I will never forget the look on my moms face as she stormed towards us; she looked sad, confused, and terrified all at once. The words she spoke, are words I will never forget. “Terrorists have high jacked a few planes and one has hit one
Dear Diary, I had the craziest day at school today. We went on a trip to some ancient Greek ruins. Even though Mr. Brunner was leading the trip it didn’t make anything better. On the way to the ruins (on the coach) Nancy Bobofit kept winding me up by throwing her rotten food at my best friend Grover. She knew I couldn’t do anything as I’m on probation, and apparently I’m on my last chance. Anyway, she kept throwing food at Grover. I sat up straight and counted to 10. I wanted to strangle her right
Jack vs. Jess It is hard to say what is more important to me: friends or family, so I try to blend the two the best I can, and my cousin Jess is my best friend in the world, but at times she makes it very hard and reminds me a lot of Jack from The Lord of the Flies. She is similar to Jack in many ways but mainly because she is very bossy and if things aren’t going her way she is going to let you know how unhappy she is. It is not a good idea to get on the wrong side of either Jack or Jess they
Once upon a time, Mr.Apotropaic was the best example of evil on earth. His eyes were black, but they say that it turns to red when he gets angry. He enjoys to lie, to make fun of people. He doesn’t love anyone except himself. He’s selfish and smug. He is kind of narcissism. Even though, when he’s wrong he shows himself as he is the one who is right. When you look at his face you can think that he is a good person, but when you look for a long time you will be afraid of him. Mr.Apotropaic was driving
Well, I know you want to know what happened after me and Pheobe left the zoo. Yes, I went back home like I said I was. I really did, and boy did my father put a beating on me. He beat me so bad I wish he would have killed me. He wasn’t going to stop for a long while but luckily, Pheobe cried enough that he finally stopped. After he was done with me, I had to calm Pheobe down because she was still crying. She really was. Then what was even worse, he already knew I was kicked out of Pencey so I couldn’t

Experiences in Digital Literacy To my realization technology has always been in my life. Every time I make a turn there is technology in each path. Whether I’m in school or at home even outside, technology has dominated society from the bottom up. Thus I have encouraged myself to become a Digital Native by enjoying technology to my fullest capacity. I could name a great amount that changed the way I see technology. However there are only three that remain most important to me. My computer, old IPod, and internet
When Dr. Copeland came and talked to our class, he mentioned a lot of stuff that I had no idea about. There was so much tension and craziness going on in Michigan in the Sixties. He talked to us about a lot of topics and I was amazed as to how cities like Dearborn. Michigan could go through so much. One thing that was happening not just in Michigan but everywhere was a lot of college students were protesting. Students weren’t happy because they didn’t like that there was a war going on in Vietnam
mentioned in the article that there are three levels of potential error in direct and objective vision: misperception, retention, and retrieval. Gould uses several different examples to support his statement. I was convinced by Gould that people should careful and doubt itself of what we see with our eyes when we think back from our memories. Firstly, people should doubt when remembering their memories back again. People should doubt with their memories, because they might rethink in a wrong way. Their
District 9 Epilogue As I poured the last drop of fuel in its container, I felt a strange emotion evolving inside of me. It was a sense of fear that started to grow bigger and bigger, as I let my mind wonder about all the possibilities. I was scared; scared to tell Wikus the pathetic truth about me, scared that my selfishness would take over, and scared that I would let myself ruin Wikus’ life just to improve my own. I needed to remind myself, that three years ago on this exact day, I made a promise. A
