Two Truths and One Lie

My Two Truths and My One Lie


         Sucess.jpg
1. I love learning new things. When I was fifteen years old, I told my parents I wanted to move to the United States to learn English and get my high school education. I was really nervous since people say that it becomes harder to learn a new language as they grow older, but I was also excited to move to a different city and discover a new culture. I put a lot of effort and time and was able to read a write in English in a little over six months. That made me realize that anyone can learn anything if the individual is committed to succeed.

2. I have a weird phobia. I have been fainting whenever I see blood since I was a little girl. I used to count all the times I had fainted, but I lost track a few years back. The most embarrassing time was then I fainted junior year during my Health class. We were watching a video, and a doctor was talking about heart attacks. He stated the symptoms, and I just could not help it. I wanted to calm down, but all I could see in my mind was the heart and blood. The next thing I knew was that I was lying down on the floor (I fainted) and the class full of freshmen was staring at me. My teacher was asking me how I felt. I just wanted the ground to swallow me up.

3. I enjoy the snow a lot. I remember that during the winter holidays about two years ago, we went to La Rumorosa to see it. I was having a good time with my family when I accidentally hit my little sister with a big snowball. She fell on her back and cried for about well thirty minutes. We had to take her to the doctor, and out little family vacation was ruined. I felt really bad, and ever since then I am afraid to throw any snowball because I feel I will hurt the receiver

The Power Play in M. Butterfly

Who is in Control? Act 2, Scene 6 Towards the end of Scene 6, Gallimard is mad at Toulon and calls him a coward because Toulon puts all the responsibility of the decisions they have taken on Gallimard's shoulders. Toulon states that it is only Gallimard's opinions the ones written on the report, not his, so if something went wrong, Gallimard would be negatively affected. As a result, he wants revenge and a place to contain the extreme humiliation he is experiencing. Thus, even though he has not seen Butterfly for several weeks, he heads for their apartment. He tells Song that he wants to see her completely naked, for that is the only barrier that is left between them; however, the true reason is to relieve his shame by showing his abusive attitude toward her. That is his way of restoring his sense of control even though that means treating Song badly. He wants to prove that he can get Song to do whatever he pleases, so he asks Song for one of her most precious virtue...

Rules in M. Butterfly

Act 3, Scene 1 Rules  Rule One When Song declares that men always believe what they want to hear, he is saying it before a judge and before the whole courthouse in Paris. He responds this when the judge asks him what secret knowledge Song knew about Western men. Song had previously stated that his mom shared that information with him because she was a prostitute and was able to learn some secrets. Song’s attitude seems irritated and aggressive because after explaining that guys will believe whatever they want to hear—no matter how silly or senseless it might be—he asks the judge whether he himself has heard those phrases in his life. This rule directly applies to the relationship between Rene and Song because after twenty years of living together, Rene should have suspected that Song was a man; however, because he wanted to live in a fantasy—in a perfect lie as he says is—he refused to see reality. Therefore, if Song said he was a woman, Gallimard believed it. That was the ...

Quote Sandwich: An Introduction to Slavery Since the emancipation of slaves after the end of the Civil War, African Americans have faced the negative aftermath of the institution of slavery. Even nowadays African Americans are at a disadvantage both culturally and economically; in fact, the economic inequalities between blacks and whites is persistent, and they can be seen in the ever-increasing level of poverty in the African-American community. According to Ron Daniels, "This country [US] has never fully accepted moral responsibility for either its role in slavery or the devastating effects of slavery on African Americans." The author conveys that in order for justice to be achieved, black Americans need to be paid reparations. The United States has to take responsibility for that dark period of time and the consequences of it. The wounds of slavery have not healed yet since African Americans face economic hardships even today as well as certain cultural discriminati...
