    A Lesson Before Dying - Lessons Learnt Before Jefferson's Demise

    There are, in fact, numerous lessons learnt throughout the novel A Lesson Before Dying and they are learnt by a multitude of different characters. A significant number of characters throughout the book gradually evolve whilst story unfolds with this gradient of change emphasised in Jefferson, Grant Wiggins and the deputy, Paul. The lessons substantiate themselves in the words and actions of all the characters throughout the novel; however, it is Grant who learns perhaps the most. Through his interactions with Jefferson and his direct community, Grant, even unintentionally, develops his understanding of life beyond the grasp of formal education and the necessity to aid those in need. In a parallel sense, Jefferson has certain expectations and obligations thrust upon him which forces him to transcend beyond what he believed was possible, to learn the meaning and value of dignity. These two characters play imperative roles in the novel and their stories are entwined with Paul, the deputy, a character of much less relative importance, yet still a shining example of the many lessons that are learnt. The novel is teeming with lessons of remarkable magnitude with each character being changed from understanding the meaning of these experiences.…

    In his article “The Loss of The Creature,” Walker Percy presents the case that people or so-called “creature’s” experiences are most often trivial because of our actions. Percy believes we can only truly enjoy these experiences if we leave the old ways of thinking . Only then can we see the true beauty of the experience. Percy gives three examples to prove his point. His first example describes a tourist’s plans to go see the Grand Canyon. Oftentimes, tourists have preconceived expectations about the wonder, and feel that they are let down with a dreary sight rather than the things they have fantasized. The second example Percy uses is of a couple who, while wandering through Mexico looking for an “unspoiled” place to get lost in. They stumble upon an Indian village and live with the locals for a little while. After returning home, they tell their friends that they had an experience better than they expected. The third example Percy uses is that of a biology teacher who gave his students a dogfish to dissect. The students look at the dogfish as another specimen to be dissected for a grade instead of trying to learn about it as a piece of unexplored creation. In his article “The Loss of The Creature,” Walker Percy attempts to show how in our experiences we do not really see what we think we see. I believe he was correct, however, I did not always believe this. When I first read “The Loss of The Creature,” it did not make sense to me. After rereading it and thinking about what Percy said, I started to understand.…

    Evil has existed in the world since time began. While it is inherent in everyone, some find enjoyment in its effects while others simply cannot find the means to break free from it. In Joyce Carol Oates, “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” evil reveals itself as Arnold Friend, a character consumed by wicked thoughts and desires. Arnold pursues a young girl and convinces her through slick conversation and frightening insinuations that there is no other option than to surrender to him, thus sealing her death. In “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” by Flannery O’Connor, the character the Misfit, an escaped convict, happens upon a family that has just wrecked their car. Because he needs items they have in their vehicle and because one of the family members recognizes him, he sees no alternative other than to kill them. Both of these characters exemplify evil, but in two distinctly different ways.…

    Sameer Pandya’s The Picture for Men: Superhero or Slacker, Stefan Babich’s The Fall of the Female Protagonist in Kid’s Movies and Amanda Marcotte’s The Shocking Radicalism of Brave all expresses a tone of opposition to the issue of gender gap. They specifically focus on the media especially in movies and cartoons where men are most times the prevailing character and superheroes while women are helpmates and trophies to be won by them. This is an obvious trend and I indisputably agree with this resentment.…

    During this class I have made two self- discoveries that will positively impact my career goals. Those self- discoveries has helped to mold, and shape me into a student that I have never thought I would be. Those discoveries were that I am an organized learner, because I made a study plan to help me determine when, and how I would study. Being that I have five children, I had to make sure that I had set a schedule so that my course work including study time would not affect my family time and take away from spending time with my children and fiance`. Since these are the competing priorities in my life right now learning to obtain trust and consistency in the home while I have been attending school has also improved because not only do I see my success so does my children and fiancé. Knowing that I had that support also has made it possible to do my best in school, setting the pace for them to do the same in school also, whether it be good grades, sports, etc. I know that they will continue to be good at what they do and have proven to do so time after time.…

    Self Authorship

    Today, a current trend is an acronym “YOLO”, which means you only live once. However, “YOLO” means much more. People only get one chance in life and must live it up to the fullest potential, but the need to stratify their own needs and desires as well as others around them. People get too caught up in life, they forget about themselves and do not live for them but others, forgetting about self-authorship. Self-authorship does not mean that a person should be selfish nor selfless, but should be in control of what they do in their life: being the author of their own book. They must also take into account what others feel, but not forgetting about them. Self-authorship is the only way a person can live life to the fullest and a healthy moral life. For a person to achieve self-authorship they must understand the requirements of it, understand how important it is to their life, what they will loose if self-Authorship is not achieved, and how it affects others in their life.…

    Invisibility would be fun, mostly for doing sneaky things like spying on people. It would also make you the best hide-and-seek player of all time. It would be useful because it would allow you to get into places that you couldn’t otherwise have access to. For example, you could invisibly sneak onto the field during a Yankee game or watch the game from inside the dugout. Nobody would even know that you were there.…
