1)April 30, 1789- Inauguration As The First President Of The United States. This was the swearing in of George Washington as the first president of the United States. This event took place on the balcony of the Federal Hall in New York, New York.

You felt your knee raise itself unconsciously as it climbed onto the window sill, you leaned outward. It was like breathing in clarity, like everything became so clear to you: you were on the third floor of some rotten hotel about to kill yourself. You needed to make this count. You felt you stomach rage uncertainly, beckoning the question on whether or not you wanted this. You inwardly told your body sorry for wasting it. You hoped your body could be still put up for organ harvesting for those who needed it. You were sorry to the organs who wouldn't get that

Furthermore, the character archetypes of father-son and allies develop a hopeful tone and present the theme that good triumphs over evil in Star Wars. In Episode VI, Luke struggles with the realization that Darth Vader, one of the cruelest villains in the galaxy, is his father. Due to Obi-wan hiding Luke from Darth Vader when he was a baby, there is a tension between the two becausewhen Luke is grown up as they do not understand each other and holdave completely different ideologies. Luke ongoingly attempts to turn Darth Vader away from the dark side and back into the courageous Jedi he was before. Eventually, Luke succeeds in changing Darth Vader back into Anakin, the Jedi he once was, and convinces him to fight against the emperor. The

“Mommy, when will I die?” I can still hear my 4-year old’s little voice asking me this question from the backseat as I am driving. How do I answer her? Do I tell her the truth? Do I lie to her? How do I explain death to a 4-year-old? For her, this question was out of curiosity not fear. For me, this was the most gut wrenching question I had ever been asked. Holding back tears, I gave her the best answer that I knew at the time. “Everyone dies sweetie. Nobody knows exactly when they are going to die. Sometimes it just happens when you least expect it. We all hope to be here for a really long time. And there will always be

Pain would be a concern of mine, like it was for Bill. My mind would be racing over how to deal with the realization that I won’t wake up the next day, I won’t be able to see my family or friends, etc. My biggest fear is how my family would take it. Both of my parents lost their respective parents when they were very young. My mother’s grandmother was in her nineties and in very good health, she even lived by herself. It was when three of her children

On May 25, 1977, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was released. George Lucas created the science fiction series using Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey plot structure. Campbell created the plot structure by expanding on psychologist Carl Jung’s idea of the archetype. Archetypes are reoccurring symbols that can be found in literature, music, and art. Lucas found that Campbell’s Hero’s Journey was the perfect structure for the plot of Star Wars. The Hero’s Journey consists of ten steps which the protagonist, usually the hero, has to complete. Throughout the movie, George Lucas perfectly orchestrated all ten steps of the Hero’s Journey, and also used dozens of the archetypes that Campbell created.

People die everyday all over the world. In United States, people use hundreds of different words to describe death. Generally, people that grow up in the United States tend to view death as a taboo subject and are seen as a topic that should be kept behind closed doors and contracted with an individual or family. A belief system that so many individuals hold to be true has been shaped over the past century. In this culture, death has become something that is enormously feared and as a result, some people stop living their lives to his or her highest potential because of their fear of dying. The effect that death has pertains to individuals of all ages, gender and ethnicities. But unfortunately, how death is viewed it has become more and

When coming face to face with death, people tend to think about previous thoughts and actions that led them to their current situation. In most cases, there is a particular moment in time that ultimately decides the fate of an individual for the rest of his or her life. Actions such as

Death is an inevitable fate for all living beings. It’s an aspect of life that can be hard to deal with, and the ability to overcome the fear of this unavoidable event can be difficult when it comes to knowing the reality of your fate in an

According to Johnson (2018) daily privilege and oppression cause hurt to many people. For example, through stereotypes. The first one is African American are lazy and are not as smart as White, Asian and Hispanic people. Also, that women do not need to go to college. I would say based on the picture I selected of my two cousins, aunt and myself that this is not true. My aunt Renee, cousin Shanae and myself all graduated from Cal State San Bernardino with a Bachelor of Arts degree. My cousin Shanta graduated from University of La Verne with a Bachelor of Science degree. On this day we were celebrating my cousin Shanta accomplishment of become a talent ten of getting her Master of Science degree in Adult Education. I had already received my first

For this paper I was asked to read a death scenario provided and to explain the way I felt whilst reading and immediately following. The scenario was that of a being trapped in a burning building. I was told to imagine that I was visiting a friend on the twentieth floor of an apartment building. While sleeping I was awoken in the middle of the night to the sounds of frantic screams and the intense smell of smoke. The first thing the scenario describes is that you run to the door and immediately burn yourself on the door knob, you then grab a blanket and manage to open the door only to find that flames and smoke come pouring in. The only window in the room is

Imagine you are laying in a hospital bed while being hooked up to countless machines coming from every direction. The doctors and nurses are coming in constantly to check up on you while you are trying to get what little sleep you can through your fatigue, excruciating pain and the slow wasting away of your body. On top of all of that you are suffering from the side effects from countless drugs including; delirium (confusion), no appetite because of the constant nausea (throwing up), constipation and you are fighting just to take another breath. The doctors have already stated that you have no chance of survival now; and

Facing Death is a compelling documentary on, oftentimes, the final journey patients and their families will venture through together in life. The documentary seeks to capture how the patients and their families respond to the inevitability of death. The film includes families who respond to the issue by allowing their family member, the patient, to pass through the door of death without aggressive care, while there are yet other families who insist on everything being done to delay the moment of death. This topic of fighting death is attributed with producing much debate. On one hand are those who do not see the point of fighting death, however, on the other hand, there are those who believe that delaying death and staying alive is what ought to be done. Personally, from what I understand of either party, I think that I am a part of the later party. In addition, this issue naturally delves into what one believes occurs after death, as it is an issue dealing directly with death. This also compels me to view this topic from the viewpoint of the later party.

We are all aware of death, and we know it will come to us all. To many of us death brings a chill down our spine ridden with fear, but to others it is ridden with strength and satisfaction of accomplishment. Fortunately or unfortunately we are all condemned to death. However no one knows when exactly the inevitable will approach, but we all know it is inescapable. But what makes death seem more realistic to us and those in denial of it is the lucid pictures of people suffering, in pain and those on their death bed before many of us can be rationale and accept the truth. Someone once said, “Life is about 50-70 years of pain. One is born through the mother’s pain and die leaving others in pain.'; How do we accept and
