For my business speech I chose to talk about an organization called Toms Shoes. I think that I made good choice because they are sold in both men’s and women’s and can appeal to any age.

When coming into class the following week after I had given my speech a fellow classmate (Faigy) told me that she was out and noticed someone with a pair of toms on and approached them telling them that she knew what they were and

Wolfe’s colorful writing style has influenced my own writing as I’ve looked to his work for both inspiration and instruction.

After a long‚ forced exile‚ the chosen one returns to those who love and respect him in order to win everlasting glory. Though it may sound like a movie plot‚ but it isn’t. It’s the reality of Tom Brady. Brady returned to the NFL this week after serving a four game suspension for his role in the Deflategate scandal. While this has obvious implications for the Patriots and the rest of the NFL‚ it also has repercussions for fantasy football players. “Kudos to anybody who picked him up‚” Jacob Rogier

The cave in the allegory basically represents believers of empirical knowledge. As a child‚ I was easily susceptible to this form of knowledge. I was known as “the quiet one” or the girl that always keeps to herself. The biggest cause of this is the way I have been brought up. Growing up as an only child and a female in a Guyanese household to immigrant parents‚ I have been taught ways of life that are very contrasting to the ways of life that are taught in Canada.
