Other acustic artist’s like Elliott Smith play beautiful music, Smith’s songs “Kiwi Maddog 20/20” and “No Name #3” remind me of going the beach with my friends.

When given the quote by Carl Sandburg, "It is necessary ... for a man to go away by himself ... to sit on a rock ... and ask, 'Who am I, where have I been, and where am I going?'." When I think about this quote it reminds me of how college began. When I first became a student at Texas State Technical College, I was studying video game design and development.

~~~~~~ Cheating ~~~~~~ Cheating, We've all done it at least once in our lives, in all types of situations. Its human nature to want to win, and some of us will go against the rules to do so. It can be harmless, but in many cases it is annoying, or even hurtful. So, why was cheating and certain zone hacks become such a large problem in the Age games? Anonymity plays a big part in this.

George I sit here waiting, waiting for the day for the I can be free. Free from work, free from these awful people, free from everything. I wish I could just settle down at my own place where I can grow my own food, farm my own land, be my own boss. I already dont have to worry about Lennie getting in any trouble. I guess I'm halfway there. It could just be me on my own, on a little farm, with some chickens, maybe some pigs or a cow. I can grow my own food. I know how to cook, I’m not too bad.
Reflections on Death in The Snows of Kilimanjaro Hemingway's The Snows of Kilimanjaro is stereotypical of "The Lost Generation" and their values.

Rosamond Vincy: porcelain doll, actress or well-rounded character? Throughout George Eliot’s Middlemarch, a young woman, Rosamond Vincy, is constantly being observed. The citizens of Middlemarch see Rosamond as a flawless specimen of womanhood whereas the narrator sees her as malicious and manipulative. Is Rosamond faultless or wicked?

Looks can be a very determining factor, and sometimes people's appearances can affect what she or he can or can not do in society and what they do to fit into it.
