Helping out the world could be done in many formats, volunteer work, stopping bullying or even taking groceries to an old lady’s house and etcetera. Helping out someone is a good thing to do and should be done more. In Unwind by Neal Shusterman many people have helped Unwinds even though they know it is against the law. Sonia is a generous and unselfish old lady who helps Unwinds who stop by her
Nostalgia and homecoming are two linked themes, both of them relate to the subject of returning home, either just in thought or physically coming home, and the emotions that are stirred up by that return. The movie Cold Mountain demonstrates that set of emotions that people often experience while being away from home, for whatever reason, and while trying to get back home. The movie takes place during a civil war and all of the characters are experiencing feelings of home sickness and nostalgia as
keeping their distance from me until I completely lost them; they did not want to be seen with me, I was an embarassment to them, a burden. That was when I started changing; I couldn't eat because I was so dissapointed in myself, I couldn't have a single bite because I felt so disgusting. I spent so much time looking into a mirror trying to figure out what was wrong with me and why people hated me so much. I didn't sleep thinking about how I was going to get through the next day, the stress piled
I’m committed to society and sacrifice my time for others. Since November 2011, I’ve volunteered at Oxfam charity shop, working in a team to manage stock and serve customers. Here, I improved my communication skills, by interacting with members of the public in a self-aware and sensitive manner, so I look forward to working with members of the community. The experience led me to realise that I have a strong desire to make a positive difference to people’s lives. From a young age, I’ve had an aptitude
product of the specific time and place in which it was written, an environment in which a woman, especially an economically disadvantaged one, has to struggle greatly so that she might speak of her own vision of reality.

In the third stanza Komunyakaa states, "an hour later, beside city limits road I balanced a gleaming can in each hand, limboded between worlds repeating one dollar" (line 16-17). The boy has returned from gathering berries in the woodland, and the setting is now in a city.

Determining the difference between right and wrong can be difficult, but life lessons help us figure it out. During The Odyssey, by Homer, Odysseus learns a few lessons, and one of them is that you should be aware of your surroundings and ready to use them. Another moral that he learned was to heed all warnings, regardless what your instincts say. These messages can be used in life today to help guide people during their lives. While reading The Odyssey, a lesson that can be used today and during

Audrey Hepburn once said, "As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others." This is a quote that I, Karam Marticho, a full-time student spending my last high school year at Monsignor Percy Johnson C.S.S. as a current permanent resident, follow to improve myself and the community around me.
