The Scorner Book Report
This book has opened my eyes about a number of certain things in my life. Throughout this journey from giving realistic scenarios to leading and giving steps to do in such a position, this was an overall great book. It taught me how to spot out all the “scorners” and “Mockers” throughout life. A scorner or a mocker is someone who is unwise and puts people down all the time. Most of the times they will have a terrible attitude about everyone and every little thing that comes their way. If you have one of these people on your hands, don't jump to conclusions right away, be slow to judge. Sometimes an individual will behave horribly or will express their feelings as such due to their actions, not because of something that happened to them.The

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Sundberg

    In conclusion, Sundberg establishes who her audience encompasses and does so rather well, although she states her age giving an idea of who she is speaking to, she also subtly implies those who are in abusive relationships, not just a specific age group and while it seems as if she is speaking to women, in actuality the author is reaching out to anyone who has or will find them in a similar situation. Not only does she establish her audience neatly, but she illustrates her purpose eloquently through a well-crafted and vividly detailed essay allowing for her readers to interpret her words of wisdom and warning. Also, Sundberg uses a number of beautifully used rhetorical strategies which really drive home the impact this essay can have on a reader,…

    Outsiders Book Report

    The title of this book relates to the story, because in the book, Ponyboy and Johnny are "outsiders." They can be thought of as Outsiders because they are labeled Greasers although they do not act like hoodlums, like the rest of the Greasers. They are thought of as Greasers just because they live on the East Side of town, and because they slick back their hair. But Ponyboy and Johnny are different then all of the other Greasers because they show their emotions, and are sensitive.…

    Book Report for Susan Scott s Fierce Conversations

    In order to be truly “fierce” we must get real, first with ourselves and then with the people that matter most to us. We must ask ourselves, “What it is that I am pretending not to know? What conversations have I been unable or unwilling to have that, if I were able to have, might profoundly change everything?” The harder the conversation is to have, the more important it may be, and the more important you have to do it right.…

    Saving Sourdi Analysis

    In the society, there are some people who are committed to fighting for equality and justice. Such individuals put their wellbeing on the line for the sake of others. For instance, civil rights activists risk their lives whenever they go to the streets to demonstrate against an unjust government policy or unethical company operations. In most cases, people fighting for the wellbeing of others are often ignored. As a matter of fact, there are those that think such individuals are mere attention seekers. The above-mentioned sentiments are exhibited in "A&P" by John Updike where Sammy opposes the manner in which the store manager treated the three girls that entered his store wearing just bath suits. He ends up quitting his stable job, but the girls he was defending do not notice or appreciate his actions. The same happens to Nea in "Saving Sourdi" by May-Lee Chai who ends up being rejected by her sister despite trying to protect her on multiple…

    After reading this book I have come to know myself better than what I had before. Even though throughout the book I was embarrassed by some of my reactions and answers to the mind boggling riddles that I was so quick to judge on. I would rather know that my hidden biases exist rather than unconsciously pretend that it isn’t there. At least now I can take responsibility for my actions and do what I can to change my hidden bias into a…

    Kathryn Schulz's On Being Wrong

    Summary: Kathryn Schulz studies why we misunderstand in general, our reactions to being wrong, and how these mishaps represent us as humans. She thinks the social construct of always being right is a problem. She goes on to explain that we developed this way because we are taught from a young age being wrong makes you realize you’re bad, and that we should strive to never make any mistakes. She says that believing in your feelings too much could be very dangerous. We react to being right by “resorting to a series of unfortunate assumptions,” which is: thinking they are ignorant, than stupid and assuming they are evil. Schulz says this is the point of being human: getting over your assumptions, to accept you don’t know and might be wrong, and to learn.…

    Gaslighting By Jenny Gilman Analysis

    Despite the great strides that women have taken in order to become prominent members of society there are still a great many things that hold women back, the main one being the men in women’s lives. Typically, a woman spends most of their time with the person they choose to spend their lives with and think highly of their partner’s opinions. Emotional abuse is a common thread in stories of women’s oppression, their husbands holding them back by berating them. The most common type of emotional abuse that happens to women is a type called ‘gaslighting’ which entails that a person uses, “emotional manipulation in which the gaslighter tries (consciously or not) to induce in someone the sense that her reactions… qualify as crazy.” (Abramson 2).…

    Man's Search for Meaning

    There are many significant ideas in the book that not only rang true to me but also helped me grow with challenges I face both personally and professionally. Professionally, as a supervisor and subordinate – I have always maintained a high expectation of myself and others. Over the years, I have learned that my expectations shouldn’t be judged on others with their abilities as we each have our unique set of qualities. Frankl wrote, “No man should judge unless he asks himself in absolute honesty whether in a similar situation he might not have done the same.” This idea solidifies my direction in striving to be able to accept others without judgment. I learned from this book that I should celebrate another’s qualities and respect the decisions they make while trying to find something positive. I see Frankl as a person who accepted anybody regardless of their chosen path, even the Nazi SS who imprisoned him or fellow countrymen who turned their back on him. Through his work, Frankl found that any man could change his path; however it was up to the individual man to choose his path. Both personally and professionally, it is clearer to me that life is what I choose to make of it and fate should have nothing to do with it. I am responsible for my life and future based on how I react to my fate.…

    This analysis is a very explanatory, inspiring, and a different perspective of how to look at ones life as of your own. Referring to brick walls as Randy establishes in her quote of "The Last Lecture", was extremely accurate as to life lessons and obstacles you face in order to be successful. With that being said, with experience comes lessons learned, and with lessons learned comes wisdom. As to my perspective, I see the brick walls as our hardships, and how deep you are willing to go in order to achieve anything in your life. There are numerous things that tear people down, as of I have experienced those obstacles; however, hope and courage are the only reasons that keep me zen. The hope and courage can result in motivational and fulfilling…
