Mes Vacances - French Essay
L'année dernier, quand J'avais quarorze ans, Je suis allé aux Ètats
Unis avec mes parents et ma sœur. J'ai volé á San Francisco de
Birmingham. Le vol était trés longue - environ onze heures, mais il
n'étais pas ennuyeux parce que il y avais les televisions a la derrier
de le siége. Pendant le voyage, J'ai redardé le telé, J'ai lis, et
J'ai joué avec mon ordinateur petite et mon garcon de jeux. Nous
sommes restés en San Francisco pour trois jours en un hôtel s'appelle
'Holiday Inn'. Je visitais le 'Golden Gate Bridge' et Je presque
visitais 'Le Rock', mais il n'y avais pas les billets! San Francisco
etait trés beau, mais il etais un peut froid et il pleut.
Aprés San Francisco, nous sommes allés au Cambria, un petite ville au
bord de la mer. Nous sommes restés en Cambria pour une jour en un
hôtel s'appelle le 'Sand Pebbles Inn'. Quand nous etaions là , il etais
l'anniversaire de mes parents et ils ont eu un dîne romantique sans ma
sœur et moi!
Prochain, nous sommes allés au un grand forêt s'appelle 'Sequoia
National Park' et nous sommes vu General Sherman - un arbre ça est
l'objét de vie plus grand. Ma sœur a volé un gland, malgré tout de
l'instructions de le garde forestier! Nous sommes restés en
Bakersfield en un hotel s'appelle 'Best Western'
Prochain, nous sommes allés au 'Death Valley' - la vallée de mort! Il
était trés, trés chaud - cent dix sept degrees. Il est la place plus
chaude en le monde. Nous sommes restés en un hôtel s'appelle 'Furnace
Creek'. D'une part J'ai trouvé que la vallée de mort extêmement beau
et magnifique, mais d'autre part il était trop chaud et sec.
Aprés la vallée de mort, nous sommes allés au Las Vegas et nous sommes
restés en un hôtel s'appelle 'Circus Circus'. 'Circus Circus' est un
hôtel avec le thème d'un cirque. Il était trés cool - il y'avais un
parc thème á l'intérieur et un casino grand.
The setting up of hospital and emergency service was born because of the war. The emergency hospitals and services were designed to treat wounded and sick soldiers, bombing casualties, and evacuees. This singular action proved that the state can establish and run a health service. Beveridge’s report of 1942 served as a last signal which confirmed that a national health service would be established.
“A picture is a poem without words” – Horace, the purpose of art is to reveal the sensations of life but also allows humans to express their emotions and views on certain aspects. Jean-Michel Basquiat was a Neo-Expressionist painter throughout the 1980’s who was known for his style. He was African American artist and musician that was part of the SAMO. The SAMO was a graffiti group that wrote epigrams. While growing up, one of Basquiat inspirations that encouraged him to paint was his diverse cultural heritage. Basquiat was a creative self-taught artist who thought outside of the box when it came to painting. Most of the pieces he made were a collaboration of different ideas and constructed them together into a collage. During the 1980’s Basquiat’s art used the human figure to portray Minimalism and Conceptualism. His target market that were in many of his pieces was on suggestive dichotomies that focused on the lower class versus the higher class. Even though Basquiat work was remarkable, he was criticized and faced some challenges among his journey because of the symbols and words that were used his paintings. Despite the criticism,
Agosin illustrates that by writing in spanish is “[t]he only way [she] could recover [her]... Chilean childhood…” (167). Consequently, writing in her mother tongue fully conveys her feelings and emotions, allowing her to live in the present her experiences as a child. Similarly, Agosin acknowledges that her nostalgies are better addressed when writing in Spanish because she is able to “... recover fragrances, spoken rhythms, and the passion of [her] own identity” (167). Specifically, she complains that the English words does not allow her to explicitly communicate her stories. As a result, she perceives the English language to be abstract, formal and somber which contradicts the tone and joy of her hispanic heritage. For that reason, once more, Agosin explains that her poems are designed to connect with all those individuals who share her roots. To this end, she insists that “... to write in Spanish is to always be in an active pursuit of memory” (168). Thus, her consistency in maintaining her first language is not a failure of proper cultural adaptation, but an endeavor in preserving her origin, her hispanic culture and her memories
Efforts to engage Meursault in secular structures of meaning are equally futile. When Meursault's boss offers Meursault a position in Paris, he expects Meursault to embrace the opportunity for career advancement. Meursault, though, lacks all ambition and turns down the boss' offer without considering it. As a student, Meursault recalls, "I had lots of ambitions…But when I had to give up my studies I learned very quickly that none of it really mattered." When Marie asks Meursault whether he wants to marry her, she expects him to take the institution of marriage seriously. Yet Meursault is indifferent towards it, thinks "it didn't mean anything" to love a person, and agrees to marry Marie simply because she wants to marry him. Though he grows fond of her, he doesn't cultivate any attachment to her more meaningful than superficial attraction. Throughout his trial, Meursault is equally bemused by the meaninglessness of the justice system and finds its attempts to impose rational, meaningful structure on his actions ridiculous. He considers the guilty verdict he eventually receives entirely arbitrary, and describes its "certainty" as "arrogant."
When Canada created the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, they set it as “supreme law”, meaning that all other laws must follow and abide by the charter. This means that police also need to uphold the Charter. For example, Sections 8-10 and 24 especially have an impact on police. Section 8 says, “Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure” (2018). Police officers perform searches all the time, whether it be after an arrest, enforcing a search warrant, pat downs for officer safety, etc. Police officers need to abide by this law, otherwise any evidence they might have seized can be thrown out of court, or the subject being arrested could be released! The same applies to section 9, where it says that every person in this country cannot be “arbitrarily
My first impression of the quote is that Meursault has lost hope and motivation for life. I feel that Meursault has been through challenging obstacles and he was an earnest person who had desire to succeed. In addition, I wonder how his past could have resulted in him losing his ambition. When he mentions “students”, it reflected how studious and ambitious he was. The word “but” made me disappointed because that words represents the contrast between his past and present life. I thought it was interesting how he described himself as a student instead of a kid or child. As a grown up, he does not have the desire to explore opportunities for growth. He is disinterested in everything and doesn't particularly care about what is happening.
Gallant’s use of “The Other Paris” as the title sets the tone for the short story. It is a commonly told tale of the romance
1.) How would you begin to evaluate the need for the policy and the possible support or lack of support for the policy from your peers, nursing management, and others who might be affected by the policy?
Established on a noble and selfless foundation, Meharry Medical College is an institution that sets a precedent for its scholars and the other healthcare institutions. Other than the vast knowledge of the basic sciences and the human body, the most fundamental qualification an effective physician must possess is the ability to serve the most vulnerable population with benevolence. That is exactly what Meharry emphasizes in order to produce quality physicians that serve those that need it the most.
In the novel The Stranger, by Albert Camus, readers see Meursault as a product of a meaningless and hollow society, from the materialistic conditions to the incapacity for reflectiveness or desire. Readers find Meursault, in chapters three and four, to be lacking the consciousness of his own self and environment, demonstrating Meursault’s indifference to any larger sense of natural law. In the midst of the heat Meursault is found guilty of everything: his strange personality and apathetic nature along with his crime. The acknowledgement of the guilt occurs when the doorkeeper testifies, “… that [Meursault had] declined to see [his] Mother's body, [Meursault] smoked cigarettes and slept, and drunk cafe au lait. It was then [Meursault] felt a
The Stranger by Albert Camus was written in 1942. The main character Meursault is indifferent and absurd, and chooses to live day by day. In this novel, Meursault commits a murder by killing an Arab and did not have any further investigation on the crime. However, Kamel Daoud an Algerian writer decided to write a response to Camus’ book called The Meursault Investigation. This novel is about the victim’s brother that was killed in The Stranger by Meursault. Haroun tells his own version of the story from an Arab’s point of view by giving an homage to his brother Moussa. Dead Man’s Share is a detective novel, but also a political novel announcing the excesses of an authoritarian regime. The author also demonstrates his commitment and his affection
I find it strange that Meursault knows that he has ruined his own sense of peace and happiness when he shoots the man on the beach, yet he then goes to shoot the man four more times. He even acknowledges that “it was like knocking four quick times on the door of unhappiness,” which reveals that to some extent, Meursault understands the consequences of his actions. But due to his total mental detachment from the world, he does not care about consequences, no matter how dire they may be. I cannot help but think that Meursault is as indifferent to the state of his own life as he is to the life of the man he killed.
“It was the spring before I turned twenty-nine, I think,” the old man muttered as he stared down the length of the Seine river, “The song had just come out and I should've been a young man hopeless in love with my fiance, exploring all these alleys and streets in the city of lights and love, or whatever you wish to call it, without a care in the world. Back in my younger years I was the furthest anyone could be from worry free. Times before then made all of us different.”
Right off the bat, I found myself entertained and interested in the words that lied within the text of Marie’s first lay of the lais. I was absorbed, one could say, and couldn’t wait to dig deeper into the remaining eleven short stories. Most of Marie’s short stories are easy to read while understanding the dwelling of the knights and their love contingencies. The Lais of Marie de France is the perfect escape of a good medieval read for anyone who enjoys fairytales, like myself. As of right now, I may not know much about medieval poetry or even much about love, but I can definitely see why the mysterious Marie de France is quite the hot commodity among the medieval readers. Each and every one of her short stories uphold typical elements that
The resort was a peaceful shelter in the midst of Californian allure. The striking coastal views and luxuriously appointed vials are the eloquent declarations of distinctive taste. The resort was full of amenities like spa, sauna, pool, bar lounge, hot tubs, beachside sports, Boat Mariana, scuba diving I have spent these 7 days exactly in the way I have thought.
