He and his wife got an electric blanket as a gift and he doesn’t know how he could live without it. With the electric blanket they can depend on it staying with the cold weather in New York. In a way it protects him because if wasn’t warm then he could die of hypothermia. He also feels a whole lot better when he wakes up. His dreams are also better. It just seems like everything is better. With Andre he says that you don’t get to the world. It’s not only dangerous because you could get electrocuted but also it could kill you. You don’t give what your

You get to think of things like I get to snuggle with cause its cold or you find out that you like the cold. I could how Wally is right because if you’re comfortable then you must be happy. I could also see how Andre is right because then you get to experience things you wouldn’t of before. I would have to choose Andre on this subject. If you’re in your little bubble you don’t get to do thing that are fun to do. You just kind of sit there with yourself and what like Andre said it’s like your dying. It is a little murder. Of course you wouldn’t be arrested for because well you’re dead and it would kind of pointless to arrest a person that is dead. You don’t get to live life to the fullest. You can’t visit China or bungee jump if you’re under the electric blanket. You don’t fill yourself up if you just eat chicken every night for so many years. You’re just not giving the body what it needs. How could you be really living if you’re sitting there under an electric blanket? Yeah you are happy because you’re in your comfort zone under the warm blanket

    Effective listening involves more than just hearing what other people are saying. Listening errors occur and usually result in misunderstandings, missed business opportunities, premature judgments, and wasted time and money. To get the full meaning of what someone says requires energy and discipline, both of which contribute to what is known as active listening. In the article "Learn to listen, and you'll learn to sell," David Connolly explains that, "the best agents in the insurance industry talk only 20% of the time during an interview with a new prospect, and that 20% is in the form of questions." David Connolly is an independent agent, owner of Splinter Group Consulting, and executive vice president of the Cabinetmaker's Association. David…

    Lucinda Matlock is an optimistic person compared to her husband, Davis Matlock, who is a pessimistic person. The attitudes of the characters caused them to see different views when it came to living life. Lucinda felt she lived her life fully and happily, all because she worked, helped people, and loved her husband and kids. Davis, on the other hand, felt that he was only going through the motions of living and never truly lived. According to Lucinda, “It takes life to love Life” then by definition, one must do something for his/her life if s/he wants to fully love and enjoy it (224). Davis’ pessimistic view on life causes him to believe nobody truly enjoys life. Given Davis’ metaphor, “Suppose it is nothing but the hive: that there are drones…

    The doctors told that her death was because she was so happy that she died, and it is sad that they got it completely wrong. None of them truly knew what was going on in Louise Mallard’s head before her death. She was filled with excitement about life and nobody was aware of the freedom she felt. It is hard to imagine a death where nobody truly knows about how someone feels.…

    There are very many countries out there, each with their own culture.A woman by the name of Elizabeth Fernea travels to one of these foreign countries. Her husband, Bob has taken B.J (Elizabeth Fernea) to accompany him on the journey of anthropology fieldwork. Although there are many cultures out there, there is no "right" culture. Elizabeth Fernea has immersed herself in the Iraqi culture and never once has had an ethnocentric view. In this ethnography, we see many trials and errors and we slowly see the author of Guests of the Sheik slowly acculturates herself into this new culture. The author really captures how it is to live in a foreign country. I will be touching many aspects in this paper, such as the position…

At a time when black people were still fighting for their rights. Some Brief Words on the Legal and Social Situation Concerning Biracial Couples in 1960’s America: Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner came out in 1967, which was also the year that the United States Supreme Court ruled in a case called Loving v.

    Times are changing different cultures; they come and go but are going back to their old cultures. Since the beginning of time humans always have a key feature in their nature that help them evolve, become smatter, and acquire their rights; also, one of the biggest features that is changing throughout time is will. Will is the desire or drive to do something, so a strong willed person is someone with a powerful will. Through time, humans of all races and cultures have used will in a good way.

When will is used in a good way, it can have a huge impact…

    In David Zinczenko’s Don’t Blame the Eater article, he blames the fast-food industry for starting the rising obesity problem because of the failure of providing the facts and warnings labels about their high calorie junk food to the consumers. Zinczenko argues that kids are drawn by the cheap, high-calorie junk food that the fast-food chains like McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, or Pizza Hut are happy to supply because with lots of parents working all day, they do not have time to check what their children are eating. For Example, the author David Zinczenko states that when he was a little boy, his mother would always be away at work, so he would eat Taco Bell, McDonald’s, and at other places every day, and he ended up obese.…

    Gary Soto recalls a time when he was six years old and stole an apple pie. Soto s use of contrast, diction and imagery breathe life into his work and give a unique perspective into the mind and motive of a guilty six year old. In Soto s work, a reader is impressed by the vast amount of vivid contrasts to illustrate a point, not only from a child s view but also from a religious one, too. Soto s first sentence is, I knew enough about hell to stop me from stealing. I was holy in almost every bone. Interestingly, Soto mentions the negative first ;he knows he does not want to go to hell so for that very reason and that reason alone -he wants to abstain from stealing. The weakness of this is that a person or child cannot be lectured by his mother about morals and be expected to instantly adopt them. No, all that Soto has is an empty shell that contains no substance and will crumble under the slightest amount of pressure. Furthermore, Soto remarks that there were nine different kinds of pie at the shop, Pecan and apple being my favorite, although cherry looked good, and my dear fat-faced chocolate was always a good bet. This sentence must be considered on a religious standpoint ;one can compare the different types of pie to sins, all different and all good looking, but they are still the same deep down. Also, remember that Soto said he was holy in almost every bone. He was somewhat of an innocent child. But, just as Eve consciously took the apple from the tree of knowledge and committed the first sin, Gary Soto is standing before the same tree debating a decision he had already made. When Soto is eating his pie he describes it as, The slop was sweet and gold-colored in the afternoon sun when I was finished I felt like crying because it was the best thing I had ever tasted. Once more an analogy can be draw to the tree of knowledge from the Bible. When Soto ate the pie it was like Eve eating the apple, but as soon as the deed was committed both people…

    Levko has chosen Chinese cuisine for this lunch. First dish was to be a swallow's nest, that’s a soup cooked of small fishes caught and brought by swallows to build their nests, and glued together with something tasty. Second dish was simpler, the duck a la Peking with bamboo shoots. Levko hired his first private cook in the nineties when he found his first bank. It was quite vital: in those wild years the less the banker showed up in crowded places, longer he lived. He named his first bank as a born gambler and reckless card player: Bid Credit. This bank, with the doors in a dirty backyard, did not deal in loans, but mainly borrowed and laundered criminal money. If Levko ever gave any loans, that was to traders who brought to the country second-hand…
