When I was in 7th grade, my English teacher, Ms. Lee, assigned the class a writing assignment. Ms. Lee instructed the class to write a memorable moment from our life. I wrote about the special moments with my dog, Scooby. I wrote about how Scooby and I first met. I explained how my parents adopted Scooby at the animal shelter and how I was intimidated by his large, dark figure. At first, I did not want to do anything with Scooby, but as we got closer with each other, we grew a strong bond with each other. We would do everything together like feed him, walk him, and play with him. Many of my classmates heard it because Ms. Lee instructed us to present it to the class. After I presented my essay, I received positive feedbacks
Prior to the Battle at Gettysburg, Lee deemed his troops could defeat the Army of the Potomac. The Army of Northern Virginia, up to that point, had rarely been defeated in a strategically or tactically. In fact, we could dispute that the Confederate Army under Lee had yet to be beaten in a major battle up to July 3, 1864. Lee's army, nevertheless, firmly believed that if they confronted the allies on equal terms they would triumph. This battle, resulted in many casualties on both sides, confirmed to Lee and his army that the allied army was willing to acquire any number of losses to stop the Confederates, and this realization provided an emotional collapse to the Confederates making this a significant turning point in their belief and
In 2008, I spent the summer with my Uncle, Aunt and 2 cousins in Missouri. They picked me up at the airport, and the car ride was filled with discussion about a puppy they had just gotten 2 days prior. It was explained that my cousins wanted a dog since their friends’ family had gotten a dog recently. My Uncle, happy to oblige, stopped at a neighbor’s house one day, who was giving away puppies they could not care for, as is common in small town America. He picked out the cutest one and went on his way. The family was so happy to have “Roxy” in their home and on their farm.
from an eager band. “A band began playing “That Bonny Blue Flag” in Lee’s honor.”
At last we made it. We were at the place. I was jumping with excitement. Then we went in the place there was 5 puppies in the house. They were so fuzzy. Since we took them outside one of them followed me and my dad. That’s how we pick out our puppy. On the way home, we were passing him around so everyone would see him. When it was my turn he fell asleep on my lap. My mom said to just leave him on my lap so he wouldn’t wake up.
Melody chose try out for Spaulding Street Elementary's quiz team because both Catherine and Mrs. V encouraged her to prove everyone wrong and make the team (153-154, 158-160). However, she has more obstacles in her path than just knowing the right answers. In order to try out for the team, Melody has to convince Mr. D that she is worthy of even attempting to try out, despite getting a perfect score on the practice test. She must also face the ridicule from her classmates over the idea. Additionally, Melody must conquer her own doubts and fears that she is not good enough to make the team. Nevertheless, instead of wallowing in self-pity because of the unique and challenging circumstances surrounding her tryout, she spends her time and energy preparing for the quiz.
Imagine your right arm pinned under a boulder…you’re trapped with nowhere to go. People are looking for you and if they find you your as good as dead. You’re bleeding and there are sharks in the water. Aron Ralston from the autobiography “Trapped,” Hyeonseo Lee from “My Escape from North Korea” by Ted Talk, and Bethany Hamilton from “Young Surfer Girl Tells Tale of Shark Attack” by ABC News have each been in one of these deadly situations. They prove that for a person to be a survivor one must possess courage, determination, and critical thinking.
The Term “yellow” is ironically crucial to the reader’s perception of why the main character, Danny, is so fearful of his ethnic identity. Even though Danny cannot escape his “Korean-ness”, he instinctively insists upon rejecting his ethnicity, pursuing a “colorless”, life in America. Don Lee’s short story, “yellow”, illuminates the struggle of Danny, whom like many later generational Asian Americans attempts to assimilate into overall American culture, only to be constantly rejected. One’s ability to consume and digest this cultural dismissal can determine their ultimate mindset, this concept is highlighted by the conversation between Danny and his wife Rachel, “No stereotype is innocent” (Danny to Rachel), she replies, “Racism’s not the problem. It’s you” (pg. 249). In this instance, it can be realized that it is both society’s as well as Danny’s perception of his Asian identity that are misguided. Due to American society’s racial insensitivity, Danny finds himself filled with paranoia, unable to trust those around um, and even himself. It is only through eventful encounters/relationships that Danny may overcome his fear of “yellow”, seeing not only color but the humanity behind it.
Assessing communities by Wards have been articulated through a set of constructs, referred to as social determinants of health. Social determinants of health consider how neighborhood and social conditions collectively impact outcomes on individual and community levels. Access to health protective resources like clean air and water, healthy food, recreational areas, high quality education, employment wages, and decent housing have an impact on the health of individuals living in the community. Therefore, if good health is not shared equally in Ward 2 by Jacksonians, then understanding these factors that contribute to health and differences in health status is essential to identifying and implementing solutions to this challenge. Disparities
Today, I’m writing about growing up. I recently moved in to my grandparents’ house. I spent summer vacation here, every year, so a lot of my old toys are here. Just a few weeks ago, my grandmother wanted me to go through two boxes of stuffed animals. She was originally just going to put them all in storage, but most of my things were in boxes and she thought it might help me cope with the move to keep some with me.

Happiness: it’s something we humans search far and wide for, to attain before we are called home at death. We go through our daily lives, making choices, commitments, changes, decisions. We set goals for ourselves, push ourselves, hurt ourselves, inspire ourselves, lose ourselves, find ourselves…but why? Whether it is a conscious effort or not, no matter who you are or where you find yourself at this very moment, there is one ultimately satisfying hope that brings us all together as human-kind, and that is to be happy; to be truly, blissfully happy. Aristotle understood this human condition and developed a wide array of virtues we must seek to follow in order to live a more virtuous life and ultimately achieve the human desire for happiness. These are his Nicomachean Ethics.
Comfort food is easily defined; it is merely food that brings one comfort. Author and professor Chang-Rae Lee certainly seems to identify with that statement in his essay “Coming Home Again.” This personal narrative tells the story of the relationship between his mother and himself through a look at food and cooking in their lives. As he describes the comforting aromas of his mother’s cooking, readers are urged to look back on their own comfort foods, their own mothers. Although the essay is similar to an informal storytelling, if one looks at who the audience is, who Lee is, they can see that in reality it is a desperate warning to those who aspire to be successful.

My first dog was named Toby, he was a very white, ball of fluff. He blended in with the shiny white crispy snow on December 25, 2006. My sisters and I were on our way home from my dad’s house when all of a sudden we pulled into my mom’s house. On Sunday, December 25, 2006, Toby was waiting at our house. We all got out of the car on that cold snowy day and walked on the slippery sidewalk. The snow was like a chilling carpet on the bottoms of our feet. My mom opened the door with a camera so my sisters and I knew something was up. A shocking step in the house and we saw a very fluffy dog, we were very excited. He was like a deer in headlights. There was a bunch of screaming and yelling going on at that moment between the three of us. We
It was my seventh birthday and also one of the best days of my entire life. I had just opened up the last of my presents and was thanking my family for all the gifts they had given me for my birthday. When I heard a bark and turned around to see my dad holding what would be my favorite birthday present that I ever received. It was my first dog, an Irish Setter named Scarlet.
