What Is Salvadora's Legacy
Nicole Landis
4/21/13
Pandora’s Legacy
Mr. McLaughlin

Throughout life people are provided with lots of advice. Whether they take the advice or not, they should always listen. Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlowe teaches the lesson on why you should always listen to advice that is given. The advice given may not always be the best, but it should be considered even if it is not used. The book shows that if you really listen to the advice given, it will most likely help in the long run. Faustus was confronted by an old man who gave the advice to “leave this damned art and do not persevere in it like a devil.” When he was told this by the old man he did not listen to his advice at all and blew it off as if what he was saying was irrelevant

    Salvador By Sandra Cisneros Analysis

    Sandra Cisneros use of point of view and imagery followed with diction to appeal to the reader’s emotions. Cisneros use of point of view makes you relate the whole story to yourself.” Salvador, late or early, sooner or later arrives with the string of younger brothers ready. Helps his mama, who is busy with the business of the baby.” This quote makes the reader feel like they have gone through it all. For example, when I heard that beautiful line I thought what if that was my life, throughout the story she does that and it deeply affects the audience of the passage. Therefore, Sandra Cisneros use of point of view and imagery followed with diction to appeal to the reader’s emotions…

    The American Dream In Avici's Wake Me Up

    Listening to so many different opinions and so many discouraging words can become a hindrance. Avicii implies through his ethos “I tried carrying the weight of the world/But I only have two hands” meaning that the words of others can be demanding, but he is only one person and he should not have to carry their burdens of what they believe should be his fate. The words of others can be so heavy sometimes that it can make future goals gloomy and not clear. However, choosing to be aware of being a unique individual is what can set a person apart from carrying the weight or deciding to be different. A person can use the negativity as their driving force to which can give the push they need to…

    Epigraph Essay: How Can One Become Old And Stupid?

    I found the quote in my epigraph to be very accurate; how can one become old and wise if they aren’t first “young and stupid”? Kids, teenagers and young adults tend to go against their parents’ words of wisdom to do what they believe will be fun, change their beliefs in politics and religion, and believe the idea of thinking they know everything, but they really don’t. I know this from experience, and a common example is when asking for permission to go do something stupid because everyone else is doing it, parents often say “If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?”, even though it is tempting to say yes, we answer no because us young people really know that our parents are actually correct. When young people become older and…

    Socrates is considered one of the greatest thinkers of all time. This was not because he was the most intelligent, but as he states in the Apology, it was because he knew he didn’t know everything. He enjoyed questioning people and getting them to think deeper and he would consider other’s opinions. He refers to himself as a gadfly that pesters the horse into action. This is the case in Plato’s Meno. Socrates is having a discussion with Meno on whether virtues are teachable. This conversation leads to what does it take for a man to be a success. Socrates states that there are two ways in which men succeed. They are though true knowledge and right opinion. Although there are differences between them, they both will lead to success.…

    Hamlet: Polonius's Advice

    The second advice Polonius gives to Leartes is to always stick close to true friends. This is a good advice for someone starting out in the world. I think this can be one of the most important advices someone can give, because true friend will ever stand beside you, no matter what, they will always help you, and they will never be a bad influence to you, so you can find trust and support on them. If you stick to a bad friendship, or cut the bond between you and a very good friend, soon enough you will find yourself standing alone, with nobody there to give you a hand, or to help you.…

    Socrates once said “The unexamined life is not worth living”. This quote, from the son of a sculptor, and his profound thoughts, is one of many that modern-day philosophy is based on. He lived his life on the basis of the need for morals and principles. He believed that the ability to ask, examine and understand would make you a better person.…

    Moving to a New Place

    All I can say of what I learned from this is that I tend to see the negative first. It took me far too long to realize that was not the best way to view the world. If I look for the negative first, that is all that I will find. I wish I could say that I follow my own advice, but I don’t. Sometimes it just seems easier to keep to myself. But, I guess that’s how I learned to live with my life.…
