However‚ in my opinion‚ luck is a very important factor deciding whether people are reaching success or not. But how can we define luck? I am sure that at least once in your life you have heard somebody saying: “I’ll never win the lottery

TV Shows and Real Life TV shows are probably the primary source of entertainment for the average American. Most of them run from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. with reruns starting at 5 p.m. We watch them because they give us something to do‚ a way to relax‚ something to help pass the time. We all watch different shows‚ some people like "Married...with Children"‚ some are repulsed with it‚ but like to watch "Home Improvement"‚ what draws particular crowds to certain shows? How do these shows portray the

I selected the article about Colin Bisset‚ who is “inspired to do nothing”. I chose this article because it seems interesting‚ I mean how can someone be inspired to do nothing? Oxford Dictionary defines the word inspired: “of extraordinary quality‚ as if arising from some external creative impulse”. It doesn’t seem to me that wanting to do nothing is creative. The author was walking through the “lush gardens of a grand country home” with a friend and says to his friend that he would love to live

LIFE IN YAKVILLE Life is full of adventure. The most memorable moments in life can be the most sweet or the most bitter‚ depending on how we respond. Memorable moments can energize us or discourage us. I believe that I have more reasons to thank God for giving me colorful experiences and helping me to take difficult situations to encourage myself. Whenever I remember those moments I always like to encourage myself not to lose hope even in the darkest moments of life. One of my darkest moments

Poverty in Real life vs. Gilead The issue of poverty would be handled differently in Gilead than in real life‚ as it would include hiding the truth from the citizens of society‚ sending the poor to the colonies and ignoring the issue altogether. A major difference between Gilead and in real life‚ would be that in Gilead the government would attempt to resolve this issue by concealing the hard facts about poverty within their society. Unlike in real life‚ most people find out about issues as they

would like to go back and repeat high school. No matter what decade a teenager has come from‚ whether the 1980’s or the present‚ there are general assumptions that can be made. Teens will grow up and will do their best to declare their independence. They think they are smarter than their parents and their parents think the teens are naïve idiots that dress stupid and have horrible taste in music. Something that has changed however from twenty years ago to now is a

John Proctor and Abigail Williams. In the movie‚ their relationship had a much more intimate history than what actually occurred. They portrayed the pair to have had romantic relations‚ which created a very large shift in the plot of the movie. In real life‚ Proctor and Williams had no connection other than living in the same town before the witch trials. Also‚ another major difference was the character of Giles Corey. In the movie‚ he was pressed to death because he wouldn’t give up a name. In the
