There is no denying that every person needs ti have a persona. One’s personality is developed through the different environments, cultures, and even obstacles faced in order to create the type of person we are. When going through the process of finding our identities, we are faced with aspects of ourselves that we do not wish to be defined as. According to the author, Jennifer M. Volland “Stay: The Archetypal Space of the Hotel,” she emphasizes psychologist Carl Jung’s idea that we each have two sides to ourselves that we are either accepting or unaccepting as she states, “the ‘persona’ which is the outward appearance a person presents to the world, and the ‘shadow,’ the subconscious aspects of that person’s personality — that is, the denied parts of one’s self.” We are able to see parallels of Jung’s argument of what are the components of a person’s identity throughout David Wallace’s work, “Shipping Out,” of how the cruise ship internally exploits workers and manipulates their passengers while externally trying to maintain a facade of what the Zenith stands for.
What if your best friend went on an adventure. They had everything they had ever wanted. They didn't tell you or their family where they were going or how long they would be gone. They just picked up and left. Would you respect their decision to not tell anyone their plans? Would you think that this was a good idea of theirs, or would you think that this was a stupid decision on their part? Well this is what Christopher McCandless did. In 1968 McCandless was born. He was born to a good, wealthy, and happy family. He had everything any child could ever wish for. He was smart, athletic, and had a good education. In June 1990 he completed collage. In July of 1990 Christopher McCandless left his family and almost all belongings, and didn't tell anyone where he was going, or how long he'd be gone. Three years later McCandless was found dead in a blue bus located in Alaska. He had died of starvation. He went off and, ¨lived his life.¨ McCandless went out and lived in the wild. While Christopher McCandless died peacefully, the question has arose on whether McCandless was a noble adventurer or an arrogant fool. The evidence from many stories and social media clearly states that McCandless was in fact an arrogant fool. Christopher McCandless was an arrogant fool because he was not prepared, he
Since America left Britian, Britian wasn't very happy, but they didn't think the Americans would be able to form rules and a government. America formed and established the Constitution. Since America was a thriving country Britian was a little bit mad. Overtime British started doing things to prevent America from becoming all powerful. A reason why British started impressment, which was part of creating the War of 1812, had to do with the Constitution. Without the War of 1812 the National Anthem might have never been made, because of the Battle of Fort McHenry, which was in the War of 1812. Francis Scott Key wrote about the battle and how the Americans didn't quit. Without that war, there would have been no battle of Fort McHenry with Francis
Pennies should not be made anymore. The penny costs more to make then they are worth. It’s not worth carrying around, it’s to bulky. The penny could round prices down.
When you see yourself living out your dream, the thought of what you're most passionate about pulls you in. Passions in one's life change based on what had affected that person. Dreams are defined to change. However, the benefits of these thoughts is that they belong to you and only you. Not one person's opinions matter but your own. Chris McCandless simply was living out his own ideal life, the way he wanted; not to the idea of his parents, his friends or of society. McCandless wanted to escape society and civilization which he felt was tying him down, while also trying to discover himself. McCandless is not by any means a wacko. He was simply defying society and its ideal expectation it holds upon us as a whole.

The Discourse that will be analyzed further in this paper, occurred over Facebook messenger (text) at 8:30 p.m. September 20th, 2016. One participant was in a dorm in CU Boulder, CO. The other in a dorm in Western University (Gunnison), CO. Despite this far geographical separation, Facebook messenger served as our link and setting of communication. The only two participants involved in this discourse was Grace Welden, my best friend, and Myself (Taylor Salazar). Two friends with no audience. The particular purpose of the discourse was mainly to see how each of us were doing with college and how the day was going, however, the conversation escalated, in order of acts/ events ,after we began to talk about relationships into a discussion that’s’ end goals were to come to an understanding behind my choice to leave a group chat that had all our mutual friends on it 1 month prior to this conversation; and to come to an understanding about why I feel the way I do about our mutual friends, as a means to reconcile in some way. The tone of this discussion quickly shifted from one of carefreeness and silliness while we were asking how each was doing, to more of a serious, considerate, respectful, and understanding tone as we discussed our feelings bout our mutual friendships. This kind of tone is normally expected in any discourse taking place between best friends; as are instrumentalities of: endearment, obscene language, slang, and second person pronouns enhancing
The Arabian Nights is renowned for its multiple uses of enframed narratives. The layering of stories adds new meaning to the various tales of The Arabian Nights by bringing up new questions. In every story one reads, one finds themselves asking why Shahrazad would tell such a story, what kind of message is this tale giving Shahriar, and why bother telling another story within an already enframed story. However, The Arabian Nights is not alone in its use of the enframed story. Works inspired by The Arabian Nights use their own enframing devices in order to alter how one perceives and understands the stories these offshoots have taken from The Arabian Nights. The adaptations this paper will look at include Disney’s Aladdin film, Pasolini’s Arabian
