    In God’s Daughters Evangelical Women and the Power of Submission, Aglow is introduced as a group of women that form a meeting a few times a month to pray and talk about God. As the author Marie Griffith begins explaining the functions of Aglow, it starts to be clear that the women who attend these meetings are there for some type of support, comfort, and even a form of healing. Griffith explains that there are many women who actually find themselves going to church alone without their husbands and that “ it becomes clear that what was advertised as a workshop for dealing with irreligious husbands is actually a session on coping with unhappy, even unbearable, marriages and turning them into loving or at least endurable ones. “.…

    One of the major topics we touched on in class was, should we continue to use technology to manipulate genes to make "designer babies"? I had come across the topic before in a book called My Sister's Keeper. While I believe it is quiet noble to give one of your organs to help another being survive especially someone like your sister, I think it is wrong to simply have a child for that sole purpose: to be an organ and blood donor. In this case as a designer baby, the child would have no initial say as to whether they want to actually partake in donating their organs and blood or not. Ethics certainly plays an immense part in making "designer babies" due to a lack of foresight that technology cannot give us. I am truly split on this topic.…

    Two kinds, one of the short stories in The Joy Luck Club, by Amy Tan, first published in 1989, vividly displays a bittersweet relationship between Jing-mei, the narrator and protagonist, and her mother Mrs. Woo, and explores conflicts between a Chinese mother and her disobedient Americanized daughter. The story happened in the Chinatown in San Francisco throughout the 1950s and maybe the early 1960s. It begins with Jing-mei and her mother’s moving to America in 1949. Encouraged by the American Dream and the conventional Chinese parents’ values, Jing-mei’s mother imposed great hopes on her and expects her to become a child prodigy. She tried in all ways to discovery the special talent in Jing-mei. First, she pushed Jing-mei to be the next Shirley Temple,but that didn't work. Then she prepared intellectual tests which were clipped from popular magazines for Jing-mei everyday. Unfortunately, Jing-mei didn't show promise in this field, either. Finally, the mother stumbled upon the answer that Jing-mei must be a piano virtuoso, and forced Jing-mei into piano lessons which taught by Mr. Chong, an elderly piano teacher, who is deaf and whose eyes are too weak to tell when Jing-mei is playing the wrong notes.…

    Emily Bowman- Emily has been my best friend all throughout high school. We have been through so much together and I don’t know what either of us would do without the other one. I would say one of my favorite memories with Emily is probably driving around town and driving through the graveyard on Beck Road. I remember we pulled in and as I kept going we swore we weren’t scared and then the road turned into gravel and the exit gate was locked so we had to do a U-turn in the middle of the graveyard. All I know is that I ended up screaming and speeding out.…

    The ground trembles, shakes and growls. Pictures that were once hanging so beautifully on the wall smash to the ground exploding into glittery slivers of broken glass, roadways break apart, engulfing whatever was in its path, never to be seen again. For many, this would seem to be the makings of a fictional horror movie created by Hollywood with intent to frighten a person and to play with ones senses. For those who live in the areas depicted by film, this is real life, all of the fear and terror of a shaking ground comes to life and people everywhere grab those that are most precious to them and scream “Earthquake!” According to Lisa Wald (2012), “an Earthquake is what happens when two blocks of Earth suddenly slip past one another.” Wald also says that the reason the earth shakes when there is an earthquake is “that the edges of the faults are stuck together, and the rest of the block is moving, the energy that would normally cause the blocks to slide past one another is being stored up. When the force of moving blocks finally overcomes the friction of the jagged edges of the fault and it unsticks, all that stored up energy is released.” Wald goes on further to suggest that this energy is then released into seismic waves, it is these waves that cause the Earth to shake. This shaking, while normal for the Earths development, can be fatal for those who live in it. The damage that is caused by an earthquake can be broken into three specific areas. These areas include the Emotional damage, physical damage and environmental damage. The emotional damage caused by loss is one of the more detrimental areas of concern for humans as they are the ones whose lives are so greatly affected by feeling.…
