Reasons to Go to Paris
Reasons To Go To Paris
By [insert name here]

As many would have known, Paris is the capital city of France, a country in the middle of Europe. It is also known to be the “City of Love”. As for I, [insert name here], I had never been to Paris before and the only times that I’ve been to Europe would be during my birth and my vacation to England to see my birthplace in the year 2009. This here essay is made entirely by me to provoke my mother on letting me follow my father to Paris. I hope that she finds this essay very convincing. There are many reasons for anyone in the world to go to Paris. I also have my reasons on going there. I am a big fan of Europe countries. Especially France due to the fact that it is the home to the finest restaurants and the greatest chefs in the world. Though I doubt that the food will be halal, I would still like to visit there just to see it. Besides, there are probably some restaurants that sells halal food. Every country in the world has at least one place that sells halal food. The second reason for me to go there would be that there might be no other chance for me to go there. I am in Form 4 or 16 years old. The age my mom calls “the perfect age for teens to be free and live the life of a child for one last time before entering adulthood”. Once I enter Form 5 or the age of 17, I would be too caught up with my schoolwork and my education that I won’t be able to focus on everything else such as leisure. Form 5 is a very important age for me and I won’t take any chances on ruining it. I even turned down an offer from my parents to go overseas and visit new places because I was too focused on my PMR examinations. This is the perfect year for me to explore because there’s a high chance that the very idea of travelling would slip my mind once I’ve grown up. I’ll probably forget the whole thing like the very idea never existed. Third, the very journey of going there will give great experience to me. For me, the

    In Paris with You Analysis

    • 1408 Words
    • 6 Pages

    This is an interesting poem that appears to deal with the subject of a person rebounding from a failed relationship into a new romantic encounter set against the cliched romantic backdrop of Paris. However, upon closer inspection it seems that despite the overt romantic language and imagery there is also a dark side of this poem suggesting that the heartbroken speaker is merely looking for some company to help them deal with the fallout of a failed relationship.The title of the poem, 'In Paris With You' establishes what the reader supposes is the setting of the poem: Paris. It is perhaps useful to remember that some people refer to Paris as 'the city of romance' or 'the most romantic city in the world' due to its association with romantic literature, 19th century liberalism, the sexual freedoms of the 1960s and a general racial stereotype that maintains that French people enjoy pleasure above all else. Stereotypes aside (we should never deal with stereotypes) Paris is a beautiful and historic city perfect for a romantic trip away or 'dirty weekend'. The title of the poem immediately puts the reader in mind of romance, particularly that the title indicates that the speaker is in Paris with someone else. It could be that the poet is establishing a cliched setting for a poem that despite its overtly romantic language is actually dealing with what could be an awkward sexual encounter between two strangers. On the other hand, the poem could be a celebration of finding new love, or an exciting and unexpected romance in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.…

    Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette

    • 1462 Words
    • 6 Pages

    A writer named Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, went against the grain in her writings as well as her life style. “One aspect of Colette’s life is how modern it sounds to today’s reader. She ate sushi at the turn of the century, had a facelift in the 1920s, hired an acupuncturist, kept her wild hair permed her whole life, rejected religion, flouted most of society’s rules – and ate with such relish and so little guilt that she ended up weighing 180 pounds.” Her way of life was a turning point in the limitations those felt against them. Colette wasn’t ridiculed for her choice in food, beauty, or even religion. The atmosphere Paris transformed into created a birthing ground for the non-traditionalist; many were able to freely decide even the smallest choices that caused a cosmopolitan attitude. Many different cultures were utualized for the enjoyment of others like Colette eating sushi. The entire community was given the freedom to think and feel what they wanted. Everyday life resembled this through the flanuer. “The flaneur is by definition endowed with enormous leisure, someone who can take off a morning or afternoon for undirected ambling, since a specific goal or a close rationing of time is antithetical to the true spirit of the flaneur.” Wandering became a routine as did observing those, especially Parisians, grinding against the grain. This was needed to create a basis for the cosmopolitan life style, a crowd of citizens that applauded the exotic spirit. They spent hours of going “wherever the wind blows.” Parisians witnessed the rise of blacks, gays, non-religious, bad behaviors in culture such as prostitutes and homeless children. The opportunity for those living within this “Sin City” was the acceptance given by the audience from the streets. Equality for experimentation of all social groups, religions, and sexualities contributed to the cosmopolitan…

    Edward Taylor, “Meditation 26 (Second Series)” Unclean, unclean: my Lord, undone, all vile, Yea, all defiled: what shall Thy servant do? Unfit for Thee: not fit for holy soil, Nor for communion of saints below. A bag of botches, lump of loathsomeness: Defiled by touch, by issue: Leproused flesh. Thou wilt have all that enter to Thy fold Pure, clean, and bright, whiter than whitest snow Better refined than most refined gold: I am not so: but foul: what shall I do?…

    Paul Fussell once said, “All the pathos and irony of leaving one’s youth behind is thus implicit in every joyous moment of travel: one knows that the first joy can never be recovered, and the wise traveler learns not to repeat successes, but tries new places all the time.” Going around the world would be a fascinating goal for the future. Meeting new people and getting to grasp what the world is like . Traveling would be interesting to do in the future because first I can challenging myself, second the adventures, and third to appreciate life.…
