    Alcoholic Authors

    The prominence of alcoholism in American literature, at least in the first half of the twentieth century, and the relationship between great authors and alcoholism has become somewhat of a literary cliché. Icons such as Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Tennessee Williams, and Jack Kerouac are as famous for their work as they are infamous for their drinking habits. These authors have created a legend out of themselves just from their notorious habits of drinking. Of the seven native-born Americans awarded the Nobel Prize in literature, five were alcoholics. The list of other twentieth-century American writers also affected with alcoholism is very long. I researched these authors’ lives to find out how they all were infected with the same disease, alcoholism. Some said that drinking boosted their creative abilities, while others thought of it more of an escape from the confines of their own imagination, to which they were bound for all hours of the day. Drinking does fit the loner lifestyle that many of these authors had. It was viewed as a cure for writers block, an escape from their own minds, and most importantly, as a tool to cure the emotional hardships that they endured. It is not a coincidence that the greatest writers and artists also had very troubled childhoods and adult lives. Look at Edgar Allan Poe and Vincent Van Gogh; both were both severely troubled emotionally and depressed, and yet they still produced artistic and literary genius. So what is this connection between alcoholism and the great authors of the early 19th century? I will take an in-depth look at a few of the most influential alcoholic authors, such as Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Edgar Allan Poe, and Tennessee Williams. I will look at factors that may have led them to their alcoholic habits, such as their childhood, troubled lives, or depression. From there, I will then look at how alcohol affected their works, positively or negatively. And as we all know, alcoholism was also…

    Writers Profile

    Being a freshman at Miami University, many things are very different from the public school educational background back in Brooklyn, NY, where I was born and raised, until now residing in Oxford, OH, attending college. So far I have completed my first semester of college. I play football for the Miami University Football Team, but did not get to play my first year. So basically my hobbies are really just football. I attend Miami to study and receive my bachelors in Kinesiology/ Athletic Training. It is a real interesting and very fun major to be studying. I am not to very sure about any minors, because my academic interest has so many different opportunities just under that one major. I am currently taking 18 credit hours this semester. I have 3 Kinesiology courses, KNH 212, KNH 209, and KNH 206. AMS 207 (American Studies), ENG 105, ENG 112 (English), and EDT 110. Most of the writing assignments in my courses are very similar.

    You don't know what I had to do to get this far. What I had to do to be called the “Famous Accountant” that fights crime for just the fun of it. How I got to live in Beverly Hills. I grew up in the bad parts of Philadelphia. My parents were very poor. I had to rob to get food for my family and I. There were shootings and killings every day, and I was the lucky one to survive, but one day a criminal broke into our house to rob us and killed my parents. From that day on, I swore to stop any criminal so that no one would have to deal with the pain I had to deal with. It was a beautiful sunny morning.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson's Self Reliance

    Different to Emerson’s time, by referencing societal influence, he was mainly targeting individual uniqueness which was made difficult by the high consumption of books and emphasis on unrelated norms of the 19th century. Today, social media is in constant focus and is highly regarded as an overwhelming and absorbing factor in our generation, causing our integrity, beliefs, and lifestyle to be very distorted and oftentimes, fake. Because social media is continually shoved in our faces, it is an unavoidable part of today’s society. There are many arguments made in favor of social media and technology, displaying the effectiveness of communication and interconnectivity. However, for every good thing about technology and social media are at least two downsides or negatives resulting from them. For example, because of the expansive and developed current internet, it is easy to be misdirected or swallowed by facts and information irrelevant to you, making navigation difficult and extensive searches irritating. In regards to social media, messages and conversations are done online, without face to face interaction. This often leads to misinterpretation and miscommunication and can overtime decrease our social skills. Also, because a majority of our lives are spent online, we have developed our ‘online identities’; it is common that they are drastically different than who we…

    Autobiography

    How and when did I come to the realization that I finally figured out what I wanted to be when I grew up? It began when I discovered I thoroughly enjoyed being an academy instructor for the Petsmart Grooming Academy in Chicago. I originally just managed a very successful salon for the Petsmart Corporation. My skills and extensive knowledge in the grooming industry landed me the promoted position of an academy instructor to train salon bather associates to become pet groomers. I’ve always been very passionate about grooming and continued my education in the field, so that I could be the best groomer I could possibly be. I then applied this knowledge to my associates and students in a fun learning environment. I still receive thank you emails from my students for giving them the tools necessary to succeed in the grooming industry. When I read those emails it makes feel so proud that I contributed to someone becoming a successful member of society. I had to leave Chicago for personal reasons and had to resign from my position. My husband and I decided to move back to Indiana after finding out that we were going to be parents. I received a position in Bloomington as the salon manager for Petco. I still have a passion for grooming, but the physical labor that comes with grooming heavy resistant dogs has had a physical toll on my body. I have decided it’s time for a career change! The decision to want to become a teacher was so easy for me to choose because of the joy it brought me during my role as an academy instructor.…

    Ethics, Communication, & Social Media

    Social media is a collection of user-driven, web-based technologies including blogs, social networks and video-sharing platforms. Together, these media have revolutionized the way we communicate and share information. Because of its relative newness, and its vast and continually evolving nature, social media presents as a complicated and multi-faceted issue. Social media sites are infinitely diverse, ranging from wikipedia, the online crowd- sourced encyclopedia, to digg, the social bookmarking site that allows users to “like” or tag websites as well as sort through other users’ tags. The common denominator among these is the ability for users to interact with the application. The uses of social media are widely varied, from searching for a funny video clip to researching a product to reuniting with a long lost friend, and the use of each of these social media applications, carries with it unique implications. This paper will examine the advantages and disadvantages of social media use in our society. Specifically, it will look at the effects on the business, private, and political sectors both nationally and globally.…

The birth of my first child is what changed my life forever and shaped me into the person I am today.…
