My topic of the solo performance is being forgotten, and my statement is that no one should be forgotten. My article is about that someone was found dead, and no one noticed about it. It took a few days, but he was found almost dead at his desk. Then he was taken to the hospital and died there. This links to my play, because it's about being forgotten. No one released that someone was lying dead at a desk. Everyone assumed he was still alive. On the other hand, it was a locked office. But you would check up on the guy won’t you? If your co-worker is in a locked office for a few hours and does not come out, you would ask if everything is ok. At least, that is what I would do. I personally think that this should not be happening. You don’t just die at your office and stay there for a …show more content…
Their thoughts often go to more serious and well known problems, like bullying. But also terrorist attracts and sickness. They seem to forget that being forgotten is a problem as well. According to my mom I’ve been forgotten a bit myself when my younger brother was born. He was barely alive at that point, and spend 1 year in the hospital. People would always ask how he was, even to me, but never how I was. Because their attention was for my younger brother. I can't remember those years very well, because I was too young. But that does make it a bit personal for me. I had not a lot of people to talk to, and I also did not know how to talk about it. So I just bottled it up. Like everyone else does when they are forgotten. They bottle it up,and don’t tell anyone. And that’s not good. So what i want the audience to think is that they should give everyone attention, no matter who it is. As you don’t know how someone really feels. All they need is a bit of attention and fun, and they will feel better. So that’s why no one should be left out. Be attentive to
Family/pg. 442: two or more people who consider themselves related by blood, marriage, or adoption. The video showed how in Libby, Montana family is the number one priority. One of the men interviewed in the video, Les with asbestosis, showed a great example of this.
Many different people come from many different backgrounds and they might not be accustomed to other countries traditions, but anybody, no matter where you are from or what you do can do amazing things, an example from this book being Americans need to welcome refugees into our country with open arms and help them get settled in and accustomed to our traditions. Warren St. John develops the theme of empathy in the book Outcasts United by using an Aha Moment, Symbolism, and Dialogue. The first way Warren St. John develops the theme of empathy through symbolism is when Jeremiah, a player on Luma’s soccer team tells her that it 's “That time of the month where we can 't eat because our food stamps ran out” (St. John 48) and the coach Luma drives to the store and buys his family an entire bag of groceries to get them through a tough time. Luma is so devoted to the soccer team and even though she is having many problems of her own she still takes time and money out to help someone out.
1. By using ethos, logos and pathos, I can boost my overall credibility. I plan to implement ethos by using my tone of voice to convey meaning. I believe that if I’m real and genuine with my emotions, the audience will be able to tell through my tone of voice. That being said, an example would be not smiling while I am talking about my friend’s pain. I can create pathos by using vivid imagery and specific details, such as using specific action verbs and detailed (but not overly graphic) descriptions of her trauma.
There are many ways for someone to become left out and become cold hearted. In many cases, this person loses care for all things that would normally matter to most people. Being happy for them is nearly impossible as they can only see the negative aspects in anything. There cup becomes half empty instead of being half full. The only thing that matters to them is to possess and attain.
“Including Samuel” How do we get a sense of belonging without relying on the enemy? “Including Samuel” is a documentary about the complexities of inclusion. Like so many other issues in our lives, the solutions are far from clear. The documentary focuses on a boy named Samuel, who grew up with cerebral palsy; this document was filmed by Samuel’s father, Habib. Not only does the film show an insight to his son’s life, but it includes other people’s lives who are affected by different mental illnesses.
After gruesome tragedies, most people who experience them become numb. If they are show emotions too much, people blame the tragedy. This numbness prevents the survivors from having normal, uncomplicated lives. The tragedies aren’t the only thing that contributes numbness, how people treat survivors also plays a major role in it. In the story, “Soldiers Home” a man named Krebs from a small town returns home from World War II.
All our lives we are busy to gain things, whether it’s money, fame, or love. We don’t look at things we already have, and we are always lustful of things we don’t have. In my opinion we don’t value things we easily achieve and we show more concern towards the things which are hard to get and that is not the right way to precieve things. As the assignment asks, do we value what we struggle for?
If I had one operating philosophy about life, it is this: “Be cool to the pizza delivery dude; it’s good luck.” This quote supplied by Sarah Adams, not only reflects upon the simplistic aspects of life, but also contradicts the overall mindset that consumes our society today. This essay, with its strong use of civic virtues, gave me as the reader, a new look into how I live my everyday life and how I tend to deal with the situations I have at hand. In the essay, “Be Cool to the Pizza Dude” by Sarah Adams, the use of ongoing kindness and compassion provides insight into the value of human life, that connected with me through an intellectual, emotional, and personal standpoint.
I viewed Frontline a documentary series, which episode was entitled Poor Kids. The frontline personnel spent time with three children Kailey, Johnny, and Britany along with their families as they all struggle financially. We perceive a glimpse of what it is like to live below the poverty line in America through a child’s eyes. While observing the documentary, I became consciously aware that children who are considered poor or living below the poverty line were more mindful of the responsibilities of life. The children were worrisome of the lack of employment for their parents, bills, and in Britney’s case; how they would accommodate their way of living to support a new addition to the family.
The Breakfast Club is not in fact a movie about bacon 'n eggs. It’s a coming of age film about five different teenagers all linked together by one common element, Saturday detention. At first, they are all close-minded and judgmental of each other until they come to realize they may be from different circles of friends but are not so different in the end. This film is still very relatable to this day. Everyone in this film is in his or her own societal bubbles, but come to understand they are all facing the same problems.
The Vulnerability of Belonging We have all felt a sense of belonging, we have also all felt the feeling of being extremely alone, we are all human, and we all have those emotions. But why? According to Brene Brown presenter of a TED Talk entitled “The Power of Vulnerability” it is just that. Vulnerability.
“When a man has seen so many dead he cannot understand any longer why there should be so much anguish over a single individual.” (Remarque, 181) During the war, many soldiers may often become desensitized and not feel the emotions they would usually feel when a friend or comrade dies. The war causes them to have a feeling of loss; they lose their emotions and friends; they lose a part of themselves during the war. If the soldiers were to think about every single death that occurred they would go mad. There are so many deaths everyday that it makes them have to move on pretty quickly.
She was fifty - three years old. A vast remainder of her life stood in front of her that should have been fulfilled with watching her children prosper, retirement and blissful moment. That was only fair. She had strived through poverty when she was younger, lost her husband at thirty - six, giving her the emotional and financial burden to raise three children on her own, aided others as a CNA for most of her career hood and never succumbed to any of it. So shouldn’t life have been easier for her now?
In a world where 1,000s of people dying a day is not a strange occurrence. Ray Bradbury examines the idea of family and the little sympathy people have for one another in the book Fahrenheit 451. He paints a picture of a world where a great deal of people die everyday and the meaning of family is degrading from what it is ordinarily meant. He illustrates the theme as ruthlessness and not caring between each other and their families. He displays this through the amount of death, and the lack of consideration for their families and each other, an example of this would be Guy Montag and his wife, Mildred who are always arguing and don’t actually love each other.”
In Zora Neale Hurston’s short story “The Gilded Six-Bits”, many different aspects can be justified and analyzed. One of the things I found most interesting was that Zora Neale Hurston attempted to objectify many of the characters. Objectifying means to treat someone, a physical being, as an object rather than a human. Zora Neale’s short story “The Gilded Six-Bits” is a great example of displaying female subjectivity in African American women’s narratives. Otis D. Slemmons, is one of the main characters who plays a very crucial role in the development on this story.
