“People like Us” In People like Us‚ David Brooks suggests that maybe America isn’t as diverse as we all say it is. That maybe no one really cares about diversity as much as they claim to. He may be right. Have you ever been to a school cafeteria? People group together into different racial and social groups. It’s more comfortable to be around people similar to us‚ and comfort is what America is all about. It’s human nature to want to be around people similar to us. Some wise man once

Marriage Is Like A Prison Marriage is like a prison. It is a lifelong commitment that will hang on a persons shoulders forever. It can never be erased‚ and never be forgotten. Upon entering marriage‚ the crime is falling in love‚ the punishment is getting married‚ and the freedom is stripped from a person’s very being.

is widespread throughout the world. In "Law like Love"‚ W. H. Auden intends for the reader to understand that the nature of a person’s perspective is dependent on one’s surroundings‚ because each person has their own view of the world‚ causing the formation of many different ideas and inadvertently representing a freedom of speech.

I have often heard the description‚ “like a girl”. People use this phrase to make jokes and laugh at others. As far as I consider‚ it is totally unfair to girls. Last year‚ I went camping with my classmates. We brought tents‚ barbecue grills‚ food and fuel. To get to the camping site‚ we had to carry all the stuff by foot without the help of vehicles or equipment since the roads were quite rugged. On the way‚ everyone carried as much stuff as they were capable of. After a while‚ a thin boy put down

A Girl like Me The observation of the movie was clearly stated at first that the African American girls feel as if they are portrayed as something there not. Some similar general parts were when they speak of heritage and where they come from is not to vague for them so they feel people have only told them there only African American and the girls feel they might be from a different culture in Africa.

Analysis of “A Pace Like That” by Yehuda Amichai In the poem “A Pace Like That” by Yehuda Amichai‚ it uses metaphors and similes about how he wishes that time were slower.

At the beginning of the poem Yehuda mentions his lemon tree. This lemon tree symbolizes the things he missed and wishes he could have experienced. He states how he wanted
