Observation is a process that is constantly performed by all individuals in everyday situations. It is a tool used to gain a better understanding of a situation, although the observer is not always aware that they are in fact performing such an act. In John Updike’s, A & P, the narrator, Sammy, finds himself observing with great detail, three female shoppers in the supermarket in which he is employed. It is through his observations that not only are Sammy’s desires exposed, but he is seen as a character who lives in the moment, and quite frankly grows up in such a short period of time. A close reading towards the bottom of page 218 in the story supports these subjects through its showing of his passion for the three girls, his quick decision making, and his overall condition. In a short matter of minutes Sammy’s true colors are shown and he is left to deal with the consequences.…

I just cannot believe how my English used to look! I am now a sophomore in high school taking advanced classes after a long talk with my counselor who had placed me in regular English classes. She assumed I couldn’t handle the type of work given to the “advanced” students, because all she heard when I spoke was my accent, and because based on her prejudice, that I wasn’t an “advanced” student. Although, my English is still not advanced and needs improvements, I have managed to overcome much of my struggles since I recently moved here. The English language has been an issue when I want to fluently communicate my thoughts, I know most of the topics the teachers address, the problem is when I have to write or speak in “formal” English, as I am always required to do…

Epilepsy, a neurological condition that affects the nervous system is also know as a seizure disorder. When someone has had two unexpected seizures that were not caused by any known medical condition, then it is usually diagnosed as epilepsy. The seizures in epilepsy may be related to a brain injury or a family tendency, but most of the time the cause is unknown. The word "epilepsy" does not indicate anything about the cause of the person's seizures, what type they are, or how severe they are (Carol Camfield, M.D. / Robert S. Fisher, M.D., Ph.D.).…
