    Rodriguez describes himself as a “Scholarship Boy,” obsessed with school and education, and ultimately losing himself as a person. In losing himself as a person he also lost connection with family and a social life. Rodriguez faces a huge tension within his family, which was his view of his parents and teachers. Most normal kids would idolize their parents and aspire to be like them when they grow older. That was not the case for Rodriguez. He was ashamed of his parents and embarrassed of how uneducated they were. Rodriguez describes in the essay his views of his parents through his metaphorical self, “The Scholarship Boy.” He states, “He cannot afford to admire his parents. He permits himself embarrassment at their lack of education.” Rodriguez instead focuses all his adoration and idolization on his teachers, aspiring to be like them and even telling his mother that he planned to become a teacher some day. He describes how he feels about his teachers stating, “I wanted to be like my teachers, to possess their knowledge, to assume their authority, their confidence, even to assume a teacher’s persona.” Rodriguez’s feelings about his parents and teachers contrast with one another. The people that should have a huge impact on his life, his parents, have little to no positive impacts on him, only negative. Due to his disparity to never be like his parents and being ashamed of them, he puts focus into…

    There are many interesting weapons in Aztec history. They used many different weapons, including clubs, atlatls, bows, Macuahuitl, spears, lances, and slings. The Macuahuitl is a very strange sword which has jagged edges along the edges. Spaniards used to claim, “ ...It could cut off a head of a horse in one swipe.” It was very useful to the Aztecs because the Spaniards all had armor, and the sword would make a jagged cut through it. Then, they can continue using the Macuahuitl or another weapon as they slaughtered their enemies.…

    My Own Identity Essay

    • 870 Words
    • 4 Pages

    One’s own identity is derived not by circumstances, but rather by his or her experiences, moral values, as well as motivation. Especially in today’s media, people love to read or watch about impossible stories of rags-to-riches, and they try to incorporate those stories’ motivational plots into their quest to become successful. I concur with Thomas Merton in that I believe “identity is much more than the name or features one is born with. True identity is something people must create for themselves.” One’s origin does not fully account for one’s identity, but it is shaped rather by actions and perception of self. Ideals from “People Inside Me”, “Cut”, and “Commencement Speech at Mount Holyoke College” all influence my point of view regarding…

    I grew up in a school district composed of small farming communities. When I was younger, I didn’t enjoy living in a small town. I dreamed of living in a large city filled with many attractions, big malls, and fancy restaurants. However, my perspective changed in high school, especially after earning my driver’s license. I spent more times with my friends. In addition, I went to more sporting events, and I participated in school activities and organizations. I got a job. Most importantly, I understood that I only have authority over what I’m able to control. I learned how to appreciate the small commodities in life. It’s satisfying saying hello and good morning in the halls, doing the little finger wave as you drive by someone, and enjoying…

We can imagine those roles as hats that we wear at appropriate times (e.g. Son, Brother, Teacher, Employee etc.). These roles have "implied" behavior, which we all know. It is this implied social behaviour which we can use in drama and dramatic situations to create deeper understanding and meanings.↵The role of a teacher in society is both significant and valuable.It has far-reaching influence on the society he lives in and no other personality can have an influence more profound than that of a teacher.

The teachers also were affectionate. At last I got over my fear and nervousness to some extent.…
