Desales Reflection
The community that I am most close to is my school community. Most of us share a common religion and unique abilities to serve others. When I first joined the St. Francis DeSales community I did not know what to expect. Going from a public school to a private catholic school was a big step for me. When I entered St. Francis DeSales for the first time, I was welcomed with open arms and hearts. I was surprised how well everybody knew each other and came from different backgrounds. I was joining a community of friendship and common beliefs. Now being a senior, I am proud to say that the community at DeSales is strong and friendly towards others. We are there for each other and help each other out during the tough times. When someone is

    Summary Of Scott Peck's The Different Drum

    Scott Peck, author of The Different Drum: Community and Making Peace, describes community as "people living together in both freedom and love." Communities cannot be formed around people (individualists) who are busy satisfying their own needs first and who are not willing to work hard to make love work. Upon entering this class I realized that a community is not an automatic thing. It does not just appear out of thin air. A group must work together to build bonds between each other. The community in which we are trying to build upon is compiled of many different types of people varying in age, race, sex, class, career, etc. It is going to take some time to build the trust, communication, freedom, and love that we need to form a community.…

    This is a summary of Place Matters: Metropolitics for the Twenty-First Century by Peter Dreier, John Mollenkopf, & Todd Swanstrom. This is only a summary of Chapters 1-4!!

    A community is a place where people around supposed to be able to live and thrive together. When one thinks of a community, the image that most likely is visualized is one of a place where each person lives harmoniously with all the other members of that community. While this may be the typical image of a community, it is not the realistic view. In reality communities can share both good and bad aspects. In Place Matters: Metropolitics for the Twenty-First Century Peter Dreier, John Mollenkopf, and Todd Swanstrom make the argument that the place a person lives ultimately matters over all else; the place which a person lives effects the choices that that he/she makes and determines his/her ability to obtain a high quality of life.…

    Dillard's Reflection

    Experience is the truth. Seeing the eclipse with your own eyes is totally different from hearing about it. To Dillard, that event is much more compelling as she witnessed it herself: “What you see in an eclipse is entirely different from what you know” (Dillard 6). Dillard has heard about the total eclipse and has seen a partial eclipse before, but not a total one. The total eclipse changes Dillard drastically as it allows her to change her viewpoints on human life and the place of humans in the universe. She realizes life is immeasurable. Dillard draws the attention to the audience about the natural world. After viewing the total eclipse, she understands that experience is over theories. She conveys the idea to the audience of opening your…

    Olaudah Equiano Reflection

    Olaudah Equiano’s life as a slave was different compared to the other slave stories we have known. His experiences as a slave were actually pretty amazing. Some of his masters treated him as part of their family which was rarely to happen for a slave. In addition, he was able to go around and explore the world; but that's not it, he even purchased his own freedom. One of the bad things that I considered really changed his life was when he and his sister was abducted to sell and later on got separated from one another. This could highly affect a person’s different aspect of his or her life especially when they're close to whoever they got separated from. Equiano used that separation with his sister to keep on traveling farther from home rather…

    City of Kelsey

    The city has a nice blend of many different cultures and ethnicity which allows people of a race or culture to feel comfortable within. Each member of the community participates by helping and giving back to the community by volunteering their time, monies or resources that they have available. It is not a must that each member is required to give back, because as we all know there are always those that are less fortunate than others or perhaps could be struggling. The community members are to pull resources together to lend a helping hand where needed to those that need it.…

    The Glass Castle Reflection

    Last week in class we read the Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. The book showed what's it’s like to overcome adversity at anytime even when times are bad Jeannette Walls overcame her father's alcoholism and her mother's psychoness. The family was also going through a financial crisis so with the weight of everything on her she had to get over so much for her to be able to succeed in her later life. Jeanette was a very strong and determined person and she didn’t allow herself to use the homelessness or her father’s alcohol problems but more as opportunities. She felt as if the hardships were making her who she was and it allowed her to become such a strong and humble person. I have had much adversity but this was the hardest for me. A couple…

    A Community In Shakespeare's Coriolanus By Sicinius

    In Coriolanus by William Shakespeare, Sicinius asks, “What is a city but the people?” The citizens replied, “The people are the city.” and that is a fact that will always remain true. The community is the single thing that makes a city, just that. Each one creates a different atmosphere. Some are exuberant while others are monotonous. Unity and judgment tend to be the ambiance that my community gives off.…

    Won T You Be My Neighbor Analysis

    What is Community? What kind of impact can it have? These are questions that aren’t as easy to answer in today’s world, opposed to just a decade ago. The biggest change in that time, is the introduction of social media like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc. Many of the brightest minds are taking conflicting sides on the topic. Some will argue that we are more disconnected then we’ve ever been as a result of social media. On the other hand, people will swear that we have never been closer due to social media. Let me tell you, I know first-hand how much of a positive impact social media is having in our friendships and communities.…

    One Day In A Part Time Teacher Analysis

    A community is a group of people united by a common purpose. Therefore, it is beneficial when most of the members in the community are working together. First of all, whenever people work together, it creates closer communities, encourages purposeful relationships with individuals, and helps develop personal growth. Since everyone is different, each person can contribute something unique to their community. For example, there is a co-op group called Summit Academy where homeschooling moms have grouped together and simulated a school-like campus. This creates a pleasant atmosphere of education and fellowship with other likeminded students and parents. When people know each other better and work together, they will progress and continue to reach their goals. It also helps in bringing a sense of unity when students…

    Community

    It is important to be part of a particular community for the simple fact that one must feel welcomed by someone or something to live in prosperity. The Christian community has not played a major part in my upbringing; to me it is the most significant community. Belonging to this church has taught me several values such as living a moral life and being generous with time and money. Before becoming a part of the City of Refugee church, I found myself lost, which is the way most people feel before finding comfort in a particular community. Like the Christian community, communities are formed to feel accepted, learned from right and wrong, and find forgiveness.…

    Reflection Pedro Paramo
    • 757 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Reflection Pedro Paramo

    PEDRO PARAMO This novel was written by Juan Rulfo a pre eminent Mexican writer who was raised in an orphanage. The central vehicle of the novel is that spirits are here with us if we care to listen, many dialogues and situations in the book have characters who are dead and speak from the beyond. The author purposefully blends the dead with the living in an effort to place them as what they are, a continuum of each other. Mexicans and their relationship with death is a well known phenomenon where the famous old song says :Life is not worth anything. The root of this concept lies in the beliefs of the ancient Mexican Indians that professed we are all a leaf in the tree of La Ceiba where there is a place for everyone. Rulfo is able to communicate with the dead in the same manner that us readers, through the pen of Rulfo can talk to the spirits of the inhabitants of small towns in the Mexico of the times of the revolution, 1920 – 1935; where the left-overs of the feudal systems had entire townships under the control of a few all powerful men. Juan Preciado is sent to look for his father by a posthumous wish of his mother with the intent to collect his dues because he had abandoned them. The novel begins its surrealism when the first peasant Juan meets and asks for directions to his father’s town, Comala, confesses that He too is a son of Paramo, and that the old Paramo has long been dead. This should be the end of the novel if it weren’t for all the spirits and talkative dead people that are Rulfo’s characters and tell us the story of the town in a disorderly fashion, but yet one gets the picture. Many incredible characters appear, like the one of the crazy horse galloping in the night, his spirit desolated because he killed one of Paramo’s sons in a riding accident. Even the horses have spirits that converse here. As Preciado waks through the town and stays in various destitute lodgings, in the night, he can hear the whisperings of the dead people of this ghost town,…
