While things always turn out right for Pooh, there isn’t really anything Pooh did for things to turn out that way. He did nothing in fact, and if I were to do nothing, and let nature write this paper or study for my tests, this paper would be blank and I would fail my tests. While again this is a very direct application, this sort of outlook isn’t very suited for people today, especially when such an importance is placed on education and intelligence. The overall anti-intelligence attitude this book projected was rather funny to me, considering that the majority of people probably reading the book are doing so in search of
Many people, especially teens, tend to be unappreciative of what they have and choose to only think about themselves. One does not think about others but only about what they have and how they look, even if they are very fortunate for what they do have. All that matters to people these days is how they look or what they have, and if it is going to set off the right impressions to others. In Gary Soto’s short story “The Jacket” the boy is very unappreciative of this “new jacket” his mom has just brought him saying that the jacket looked like “the color of day-old guacamole.” Whenever the boy would wear that jacket he would feel as if everyone thought differently of him because ‘it made him look different.’
People can miss out on life if they are busy trying to record it. Parents using phone can spread of use of phones and ignoring someone to entertain themselves. In the article, “For the Children’s Sake, Put Down That Smartphone,” Patti Neighmond said, “Parents are often just as guilty of spending too much time checking smartphones and e-mail - and the consequences for their children can be troubling”. This shows that kids will be more likely to use technology if there parents are doing it. In the article, “For the Children’s Sake, Put Down That Smartphone,” Patti Neighmond states, “Radesky started noticing how often
Another example of how he does not truly show that he’s glad he got to be smart is in his progress report on July 24th: “I dont know any work but the job I used to have at Donnegans Plastic Box Company. I dont want to go back there because they all knew me when I was smart and maybe theyll laugh at me” (Keyes, 304). Again, with evidence from his previous progress reports, his note to Miss Kinnian was just a facade, merely trying to make her believe that he was fine. This is significant because Charlie seems to have lost his confidence in
Kapasi observes and describe the family, his annoyance is also perceptible. Mr. Das and the children, aside from being described as Indian looking Americans, receive an indifferent description. To Mrs. Das he is not so forgiving: “She was a short woman, with small hands like paws […] (Lahiri 46). Ryan supports that a pause in the narrative action allows the reader, through description, a more detailed glimpse of spatial frame (section 8, paragraph 1). The reader is also awarded a physical description of Mr. Kapasi which serves to intensify his own strangeness to the Das family, his clothes and mannerism show him to be just as foreign to them as they are to him.
Most readers would be shocked, and they have a respected view towards Sanders. Sanders employs a respectful tone, but he is informal, which appeals to the audience. Sanders employs words such as “I”, “our”, “we” (Sanders, 20, 6, 22). These words are informal, Sanders’s puts himself to the level of Rushdie and the audience. The informality is showing that Sanders is a normal person.
At the point when approaching a stranger a contemplated, precisely measured choice is made about what to do: overlook or recognize the other individual. Whether on a college grounds or in the city of a residential area I found that the larger part of individuals have a tendency to maintain a strategic distance from eye contact and take a gander at the ground when encountering a stranger. Couple of, additionally cordial individuals are prone to smile or gesture their head at the other individual and move on. The absence of consideration is not intended to be inconsiderate; however, it is a greater amount of an endeavor to be polite through cognizant obliviousness. By not paying heed to the next individual you are evading any cumbersomeness that may result, saving
In Sherman Alexie’s “The Facebook Sonnet”, the truth is told to everyone that is on the internet or on devices. People now of days miss all of the fun or experiences that they could be living but instead want to live it through their phone by recording it and thinking that later on in life they will go back and try to relive it, but they never will. That video clip will become another thing to manage in a phone and have no importance. People, especially teens, will feel obligated to keep everyone that they know up to date on what that person is doing by taking a photo or video and posting it to social media. There is no need for these and most of the time they only post those photos or videos to feel like they are popular by getting views,
Deresiewicz also talked about the positive side of Facebook too that it helps to be in connected with long lost friends but also on the other hand he said, he didn't like to read the details of people life's that makes him feel empty and unpleasant and he also wrote that now on social media nothing is confidential. He also express himself towards the todays technology that people don’t like face to face interaction and he also said that we have given our hearts to machine, and now we are turning into machines. I agree with Deresiewicz when he said " But surely Facebook has its benefits long-lost friends can reconnect,
In other words, have fun with it. Also, when parents want to reassure their teen, parents can do that by calling him or her. However, parents do not recognize that by giving a teenager this kind of devices might affect them in a negative way. In these days, thousands of teenagers are suffering from the bad effects that a cell phone led to them. Health, communication, and crimes are the major effects of cell phones.
The words we don't say can speak louder than the words we scream. Silence is a powerful force that has the capability to alter people's lives, and the words we speak have becomes unrecognizable in the eyes of people. Within The Chosen, silence is a main theme that is touched upon throughout the book. Comprehending silence can be strenuous because it is not accustomed to our society, but the silence could also have the opportunity to speak to us. Silence can overcome any words given.
Dress codes targeted at females have become too strict and unrealistic. Between the developmental stages, and clothing stores with the items/styles they sell, there is not much females can do about it. Plus, they’re always being compared to the kids in younger grades even though younger kids are much less mature. Why is that? A big part of why female dress codes have become unrealistic is that they are developing more, and that means that certain things will look better than others, or certain things may be “more acceptable” than others.
