Personal Response A man had been standing at the blank intersection for a while now wearing a brown worn-out shirt and baggy pants‚ not quite appealing to anyone but yet caught the attention of many. He was not moving‚ not even an inch‚ like something had grabbed on to him purposely making him immobile and blankly staring across the distance. The streets that had been walked on by million people a day looked empty‚ according to how his eyes viewed it‚ still and calm. It seems like nothing could make

Mirror Image Personal Response Our society judges too much on physical appearances. A society such as todays‚ I think judges everyone too much on how the look. Such as how tall a person is‚ skin colour‚ hair colour‚ and body size.

British Literature Hinkley 8 Dec. 2012 Personal Response Jane Austen’s novel‚ Pride and Prejudice‚ is a great representation of how life in the 1800s would have been.

The people who you were surrounded around either broke you or made you an influence on the town. The women seemed to look only for someone to marry them‚ not for someone to love them. The women in this novel‚ searched

Lesson 1-Personal Response Agamemnon I believe that Agamemnon is a protagonist character with selfish intentions in the play‚ Agamemnon. Although‚ he does make a few errors in his period of ruling. Overall‚ I believe he is a hubris person as he holds great pride in himself‚ his actions and his decisions. I believe that his intentions of his actions are only meant for his own benefit and that he believes no one else’s value should be more than his value. He has very little effect but‚ a very important

In this response to lyrics and personal reflection essay‚ I chose the song “invisible” by Taylor Swift. She is an amazing singer and songwriter. Taylor Swift has written so many songs‚ but I chose “invisible” because I can relate to this song a lot. She started singing when she was really young.
