crossed my mind‚ Why can’t we be like them? What is so different about Eid in America than anywhere else? “Eid was always better in Pakistan” were constant reminders from my mother who grew accustom to the traditions of her homeland. From spotting the full moon the night before to preparing the various entrees of food for relatives who would arrive the next day‚ it was reminiscent of her childhood memories. In America‚ Eid was an unknown phrase to many‚ a word of confusion. Leisure time was not

A film that comes to mind that usually is not noticed‚ as a class hierarchy is “Coming to America” starring in lead role Eddie Murphy. I think this movie does a tremendous job in showing how ignorant America has become in respect to other countries around the world. Akeem (Eddie Murphy) comes to America in search of women to be his bride. He comes from a lavish life style where he is the prince‚ and money has no boundary. Like many Americans seeing someone from another country we seem to stereotypically

Often seen as a brief summary of the paper‚ the conclusion frequently revisits the thesis of the paper‚ sometimes repeating lines or words from the introduction verbatim. This almost textbook-like format can be effective but is by no means the only option there is when a writer concludes an essay. In fact‚ the title of “the conclusion” can be quite misleading. Many types of conclusions

What does coming of age mean? Merriam-Webster defines it as "the time when a person becomes an adult‚" but is there more to the phrase than the dictionary says? I sought to answer that question as I sat down in my sunroom. The room wasn’t very interesting. It had a stiff carpeted floor‚ beige walls‚ and a couch with a pattern of black and white that smeared together to form quite a dull gray. While I got ready to interview‚ my siblings were tidying up the often messy room. I was anxiously waiting
