Although all of the texts that we have read in class are of equal importance‚ I have chosen to compare “The Death of Ivan Ilyich” by Leo Tolstoy‚ “Faust” by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe‚ and “From Song of Myself” by Walt Whitman.

When being asked to find a picture that describes myself as an individual‚ I found one picture that stood out from the rest; a picture of a "hippy" sitting on the grass with his friends. Although I am not a hippy‚ and I don’t look like one‚ I feel that hippies represent freedom‚ and freedom is what I have always strived for. When most people think of freedom‚ they think of the past and slavery. Although this is a big part of history‚ and should be looked at seriously‚ I don’t see it as anything

Started from being a little girl who didn’t know what was right or wrong‚ a girl who just looked at everyone thinking they were weird looking or funny‚ a girl who loved her family just as much has she loved her binky. To being a woman today with big hopes and dreams‚ a woman who one day will pursue her goal to being an athletic trainer‚ and to one day have a family of four.

I am lucky. If I am from anywhere I am from the Connecticut River valley of Massachusetts. It is where my parents live choose to make a lives. It is a fine place where many people choose to make a life. It is where I return to‚ broken hearted when relationships don’t work out‚ or exhausted when jobs end.

A moment in my life where I was proud of myself happened around the summer I graduated from high school in 2007. When I had finally graduated I could finally take a break from school‚ go out of town for a few weeks‚ and get to kick back like I wanted to. I was enjoying my summer like any other teen‚ and just like another teen I realized it’s now time for me to get a job especially since I wasn’t in any rush to go to college. Not to mention that I was the youngest out of three and the only boy so
