Inner Beauty is the Real Beauty EunSuk Ji (Jenny) from Korea When I was young‚ I read many kinds of books‚ including fairy tales. Most of the books described heroes who were handsome and heroines who were beautiful. So‚ I believed I had to be beautiful if I wanted to become a great person. It was a hard time for me.

As I mature‚ I begin to fathom and realize that we are continually waging war against time. Time. All of us‚ in at least one trice in our life‚ wanted to sojourn or hasten time. We wanted to live one moment forever. And sometimes‚ we want to expunge an instance in our lives that we revile and berate. But life is not a DVD which we could pause or fast forward with just a single click of a remote. After all is said and done‚ we could still say that time has won in this hostility. Sometimes

Beauty As a little girl people knew they are beautiful. They are proud of my dark-skin‚ long legs‚ and short hair. Never giving a second thought about the standards on appearances‚ children are as blissful as they come.

Though many themes and poignant arguments arise in Buchi Emecheta’s Joys of Motherhood‚ the most bold of these is the impact of colonial rule on traditional African society and its ambiguous affects thereafter. These themes specifically come about in the text as the clash between colonialists and Africans and how colonial occupation comes to alter the natural development of African cities and villages. It becomes obvious that the influences of colonial presence in Africa are and will continue to

The Joy of Reading‚ or‚ What Reading Really Means to Me When I was first asked to make this short speech‚ I was struck by the title “What Reading Means to Me.” My knee-jerk reaction was “What doesn’t reading mean to me?” As a professional librarian‚ I thought of all of our standard platitudes: “Reading is Life.” “Reading is Fundamental.” “There is no such thing as too many books.” I might easily have gone on and on along this vein‚ until I remembered that‚ for me
