The Puzzle of life
I have loved puzzles for as long as I can remember. There have been many spring breaks at my grandparents figuring out how every pile fits together, first by separating pieces into piles, such as distinguishing the sky from the ground. There is something fascinating about how all the little pieces end up creating a greater picture. This is relatable to my worldview. By separating views into different pieces of my puzzle, the end results in a large picture of how I want to go through life. The pieces of my worldview sometimes overlap, similar to an ocean and the horizon meet, where it can be hard to distinguish one without the other. Even if the pieces don’t always connect, like the sun and a pink beach bucket, the larger idea is how they are incorporated to make the one final picture. The piles that I separate my life view into are how I want to live, how big my world is, and how can I serve others. Also, how faith fits into my puzzle as well as science, and finally why it is worth making my life puzzle. …show more content…

To begin, how do I want to live in this world? I understand this question as how can I find a niche that will be able to satisfy what I want from my community. With conflict all over the world, and even in the US about presidential elections, I believe that it is crucial to know what I want from a community before I were to move. From the community, I want to be surrounded by people who encourage me to be better. What I will expect from my new neighborhood is to provide friendship for my family. And personally, I want to always keep

  • Analysis Of Lives In Limbo

    1022 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Lives in Limbo, Roberto G. Gonzales dissects the disastrous effects of US immigration policy on young Latina/os struggling in the often untouched, unnoticed, uncared for, American underbelly. Through a striking ethnography, Gonzalez examines 150 illuminating case-studies of young undocumented Latina/os, shedding light on their shared experience in the struggle for legitimacy in the United States - their lives, effectively, in limbo. He develops two major groups with which to classify the struggling youth: the college-goers, like Cesar, who received strong marks in high school and was able to land himself a spot within the UC system, and the early-exiters, like Silvia, who was unable to attend college, resigned to a paranoid life plagued

    In Ernest Gaines’s A Lesson Before Dying, readers truly get the impression that the south is defined by one thing: race. Although modern southerners know that the South is made up of and worth far more than its racial past, race does define many aspects of southern society, including memory, sense of place, the taste of the South, the voices of the South, and expressions of power.

  • This American Life Analysis

    When I first started playing the episode, Ira Glass, host and producer of This American Life, immediately grabbed my attention with the line, “Sometimes things are not what they seem. Big news, I know. Here’s an interesting example of it.” Ira, with a voice clear and engaging, went on to describe the account of Damien Cave, a reporter for The New York Times, on an airplane. Damien was looking through an in-flight magazine that was using ads for tourists to attract people to various lands that were centers of drug and gang-related violence. The prologue had started with an interview with Damien and captured vivid descriptions of his analysis of how ads are tools of those in power to coerce people into thinking and consuming. “Propaganda is

  • Analysis: Life Inspired By Death

    3175 Words  | 7 Pages

    Life and death are dualities. These two immaterial forces culminate into a beautiful and tenuous composition creating an awareness of abject mortality that indirectly contributes to the breadth and depth of human existence. This existence or being is marked by an incessant love of life, influenced by the pervasive knowledge of eventual death. The characters in Mrs. Dalloway endeavor to grasp the meaning of both life and death through the act of resistance and/or acceptance of the impermanence of human existence as it relates to them personally and to those around them. Nietzsche’s interpretation of the themes of life

  • Longevity Essay

    Longevity is a foreign word when it comes to the love lives of young socialites. Family obligations, careers, and scandals often get in the way of long lasting relationships. It is almost a rule. The good thing for Olivia Palermo and Johannes Huebl is that every rule has at least one exception. They met in St. Bart’s in 2008 and have been going strong every since. The location became so special that they return there every year, and even became the spot of a very important part of their relationship. More on that in a little bit.

  • An Essay On The Meaning Of Life

    1607 Words  | 4 Pages

    If we take a step back from the world that we live in today, we can see that people are very different all over the world. This is because people all over the world, or even in different areas in the same part of the world have different views. Looking at how different people’s religion is on an individual level we can see that they vary from believing in Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, no religion, or many more. These different types of religions can lead people into having different beliefs.

  • Riddles of Life

    969 Words  | 2 Pages

    Growing up, I loved riddles—at least riddles I could solve. Few things were more satisfying that sharing a riddle with a friend and having them give up in defeat. Over the years, I’ve learned some riddles are puzzles that entertain and some are puzzles that instruct us. Most riddles are little more than innocuous puzzles to help pass the time. Some force us to confront life’s deepest mysteries. Even the attempt to resolve such riddles often leaves us confused and perplexed. Sometimes our attempts to answer such questions move us into great faith but almost as easily they move us into the foreboding shadows of darkness and doubt. Few willingly confront such questions, but ultimately we must confront our deepest doubts and fears. More often than not, these questions come when we’re most vulnerable and exposed. In such moments, our entire outlook can be transformed.

  • The Cycle of Life

    In Shakespeare’s (Sonnet 73) “That time of year thou mayst in me behold”, the focus is on the narrator’s anxiety of growing old and his impending death. Each quatrain expresses this in a distinctive way, associating the narrator's stage of life with a variety of analogies showing how time passes in nature. There is a marked reduction of time from seasons to days to minutes. As the length of time decreases, the speed in which the narrator approaches death increases. In the end, death is imminent and it is obvious to the narrator while becoming obvious to his audience and the reader.

    Where I live is one of the greatest neighborhoods in the city to live in; however, it does have its drawbacks. Importantly, it has nearly everything a resident might want, beautiful picturesque scenery, proximity to shopping, and many of the cultural centers. Nevertheless, the roads can be some of the most congested in town, and the streets are not safe to walk late at night. Fortunately, I wake every morning to the most beautiful sun-lit house. I sit on my porch sipping coffee, while I drink in an atmosphere that steals my breath away.
