Dillard uses many interesting facts like in “Fixed”, “The female will mate with and devour up to seven males”(Dillard 60) and “If a bee is heavy with honey, the wasp drinks by licking the tongue of her unfortunate victim”(Dillard 60).

    For the Cypress College show “Grease,” it says in the pamphlet that the setting takes place at Rydell High, 1959, USA. As I watched the show, I could sense that the setting took place in California during the 50’s because of the style portrayed.

A outfit that stuck with me was Rizzo’s outfit when she was wearing high waisted black shorts and a red button up top that was tied in the front. In a English class I took, the assignment was to study advertisements from different era’s

    Each day I walk through the streets completely unaware that each and every single person that I walked by has a story of their own. Whether it’s an ideally happy one or a sad one, each person is made uniquely of stories. Only after my introduction to This is Water by David Foster Wallace, did I realize how much I relate to him and what he was saying. One idea Wallace expressed well was all humans have a default, natural way, of thinking. Using his inner thoughts as an example, he confessed that it is “[his] deep belief that [he is] the absolute center of the universe, the realest, most vivid and important person in existence (Paragraph 2).”

    One of man’s greatest mysteries is the way in which we connect with each other, the environment and through the periods that our lives are experienced. As much as the human race has developed over the age we still struggle in understanding, not only how we feel or think, but why we do so as well. We go through life, most of us simply existing, and don’t get the chance to comprehend our presences on this earth or even enjoy it. We struggle through everyday life not thinking of the future, or thinking at all, and merely hope for the best instead of taking action and doing the best with what we’ve been given. Philosophy is a congregation of people who don’t wish to live, but aim to exist.
