Essay: My American Dream


My American dream consists of opening an eight story building that acquires, from top to bottom: a restaurant, a culinary floor, a floor for designers, a floor for photo maniacs, a floor where people can go to study, to relax, a floor for poets, a floor for musicians, and the top floor for artists to paint the skies, to sculpt skyscrapers Bringing all these talents together in one building to aspire a great idea from one another, to open a guilt free world for anyone who needs peace, relaxation, simple thinking for their life, is my American dream.

Striving to become a lawyer, I actually had not considered what exactly it takes to become a lawyer; how hard they have to work to succeed in the process of becoming an employee of the law, what schooling they have to acquire, all the reading they must analyze; their limits inside the court, I realized I didn't want to be a lawyer anymore. Lawyers usually make a heap of money, which really was the main reason for the baseless appeal, to bring a huge paycheck home, to provide highly for my future family though; I would not be content with law.

Music, the recreation serenity to me, was my life, still continues my life, furthermore the true sensation to me. Singing also evolved with my love of music, the bottom line to becoming a famous musician however; because I am vaguely hesitant when it comes to singing, only four people have actually heard me sing, sliming my chances of ever becoming a musician. Besides the fact of me being a loner singer, observing the celebrity life, being greatly famous meant having a few obsessed people who would do just about all to get to that celebrity, including everyone knowing their life with the paparazzi, this would arrange great depression.

Music, art, poetry, photography, cooking, baking, designing are my greatest interests, including bringing people to their peace of mind, to their complete tranquility. My dream prevails to open an accommodation for everyone, to come, to go, enjoying life with family, friends, new acquaintances. Everyone needs a break in life, a day just for them, to acquire all they have to acquire, to discover their dreams.  

After my horrendous journey to discovering my true potential, cooking, I soon discovered there contains no importance to how much money a person brings home, how many big shiny, new toys they have however; all that should be important is how happy that person continues to be with their life.

CC#1: Too Many People Who Should Should Not Have Guns Do

In "Too Many People Who Should Should Not Have Guns Do" Leonard Pitts Jr liberates how history will always repeat itself until people realize the cause, guns.

Confirming the tragic killings in Newton Connecticut and our weeping griefs, Leonard reveals "Let us not pretend our sorrow in this moment means a damn thing or changes a damn thing, because it doesn't and won't. Not until or unless the American nation is finally willing to confront its unholy gun love." The tragedy in Connecticut is only but one of the many tragedies in America, yet all America has to offer for a resolution is grief. We say every tragic has changed America today, but how many tragic's does it take for us to really make a change?

Leonard brilliantly mentions "One sees Senator Joe Manchin, conservative Democrat from West Virginia and a staunch ally of the NRA, calling for gun control, and it is cause for hope.
Then one hears Senator Joe Lieberman suggest that video games may have played a role in the shooting. And Mike Huckabee says maybe it happened because the government no longer mandates prayer in schools. And Bob McDonnell, Virginia's Republican governor, suggests the teachers should have been armed (as if the problem is that there were too few guns in that school). And hope chokes." Ironic how people being shot is caused from less prayer in schools, from video games, and from less guns in schools rather than caused by people who should not have guns do.

Pitts even recognizes several other locations where the same cruel acts like in Newton have occurred. He continues to say "We have paid and continue to pay an obscene price for this lesson some of us obstinately refuse to learn. We paid it in Tucson, Ariz., and we paid it on the campus of Virginia Tech. We paid it at Columbine High and at a midnight showing of a Batman movie in Aurora, Colo. We've paid it in Compton, Calif., and Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Norcross, Ga., We've paid it in Gilbert, Ariz., Bechtelsville , Pa., Prince George's County, Md., Bay City, Texas, Copley, Ohio, Lauderdale Lakes and North Miami, Fla."

Disapproving with guns since ever, I strongly agree with Leonard. He accomplishes his exact thoughts and theory's for the use of gun control. Adding to his defense, war perhaps has played a huge part in all the shootings of America. Man has always killed other men for his country; if a soldier can kill another soldier, why can a man not kill another man? Humans have always killed, men can not give up their guns "and bullets keep raining down."

"The Silver Kiss" by Annette Curtis Klause

Annette Curtis Klause's book, " The Silver Kiss" moved every tension in my body, rippling hidden sensations within its fictional myth. The theme portrays a sense of isolation, though; in the same instance, a sense of nonisolation. Clearly, eventhough you are alone, you are not alone; there will always be that one person who is with you at all times. In the book, Zoe's mother is dying of cancer, her best friend, Lorraine, is leaving and her father seems to be excluding her from her mother's hospital bedside. No one dares speak to Zoe about the family tragedy, and she is isolated by grief, anger and fear. Simon, with him being a vampire, constantly feels detached from the outside world.

Annette Klause has a peculiar yet firm writing style with her nonexistance of hearty words however; she writes as if anyone who reads her book, can becomes her book. She writes "The Silver Kiss"as though the actions would potray and sound in the real world though; the book has fictional value. Relating to this book, I can imagine myself as Zoe, the main character, for we have the same hair color and eye color, and we share some of the same emotions. I could near to feel exactly what she was feeling throughout the reading, even when "...she felt like yelling at a God she wasn't even sure existed. Am I being punished? What did I do," telling about her mother. Annette also gives a sense of what the characters are feeling as well when Zoe sobs "But we never do anything together now, she thought, not even be unhappy together. He makes decisions without asking me, like i'm a little child."  Simon says, "It unnerved him when her eyes caught him like that, but it brought something else he couldn't explain, something that didn't seem normal for him. he wanted it again. He wanted to discover what it was."

Zoe, a calm normal 16 year old girl with dark brown hair and blue eyes, is baffled at the thought of losing her mother, confused and angry at her dad for not letting her see her mother at her bedside.
Simon, a 300 ire with longish white, almost silver hair and dark brown eyes, runs into Zoe one night at the park, shortly feeling sense with he.
Christopher, Simons brother, also a vampire, has been causing much trouble in the town though in the body of a six year old.

For most the setting begins and ends in the park, where Zoe runs off to think, to be isolated from her family. In the park is also where Zoe and Simon first meet along with depart. Though just a simple park, it was a place of sentimental value, the place and her mom use to go everyday when she was little, the place where she could always turn to when she needed to think or to just be alone, the place where she incountered and where she lost the love of her life.  The book ends in the park, where the best part of the book comes to live. People exspect a book of vampires to end with the vampire changing the human lover in a vampire so they can live happily every after. Not this book; "The Silver Kiss" has a way prominent ending, being sorrowful but actually much content. The ending does not just leave you with another book you have read, instead it leaves you with thinking, wondering more.

Reading "The Silver Kiss", everyone can learn to enjoy what they have, not to take what the have for granted, to cherish every moment. Everyone should definatly read this book, infact all of her book, of Annette Curtis Klause. This book will leave you marveling, it left me in tears with a smile:')
 

    

CC Shadow Banking

 In John O' Donnell and Douwe Miedema's report, "Shadow banking hits $67 trillion globally: task force," they inform the world of how shadow banking use to cause bankrupt in most parts of the world though; now shadow banking made the U.S. $67 trillion in 2012.

 "During the Crisis, heavy exposure to collapsed investment bank Lehman Brothers caused the net assets value of one fund-the Reserve Primary Fund-to drop below $1 per share l, breaking an implicit promise of a guaranteed minimum value." O' Donnell informs how the shadow banking started out as a very bad investment, losing $1 per share though; now claiming the "FSB said shadow banking around the world more than doubled to $62 trillion in the five years to 2007, and had grown to $67 trilllion in 2011 - more than the total economic output of all the countries in the study." Shadow banking had doubled in five years, and had gained five more trillion in four years. Seems to be a good deal to me!  

 The article also mentions that "America had the largest shadow banking system with assets of $23 trillion in 2011, followed by the euro area with $22 trillion and the United Kingdom at $9 trillion." Had is a former word, signaling America use to be the top shadow banking system though; now America holds bottom?

 Worldly, everyone can learn to invest, if they plan on investing, in a sytsem that will decively gain them money, and to learn enough about that system to know if is reliable.

Act lV. Theme of The Crucible

In act lv. of the crucible, to die for what they believe, is better than to live lying for what they believe. Page 125, Elizabeth Procter informs her husband, John, of Giles's treacherous death. She states, "Great stones they lay upon his chest until he plead aye or bye. They say he give them but two words. "More weight," he says. And died." Giles Corey refused to give the name of the man who wrote of Mr. Putnam trying to steal people's land. Giles knew if he give the mans name, that man would be arrested and accused of witchcraft, as did Giles wife, Martha. Giles was a strong, brave man, dying for his beliefs, as for the mans name. On page 133, Giles last two words seem to sink deep into Procter's soul, sorrowing "because it is my name! because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!" Procter soon realizes he is nonexistent compared to those that hang; a coward who hides behind lies. Procter then appears out from behind all the lies he has lived, committing to his beliefs; "he have his goodness now. God forbid anyone take it from him!"

Act lll. Theme of The Crucible

Act lll. of the Crucible,acquires the same theme as Act l. Lies just lead to more lies, whether to cover up another lie, to false accuse enemies, or to save ones life from such false accusations. On pages 94-95, Mary Warren finally confesses "that it[seeing spirits and fainting at court]were only pretense." However; Abigail puts her fake two cents in, of course, denying all Mary confesses, calling Mary the liar. Pages 110-111 Mary Warren finally confesses "that it [seeing spirits and fainting at court] were only pretense." However; Abigail puts her fake two cents in, of course, denying all Mary confesses, calling Mary the liar. Following Abigail’s lead, the girls act as if Mary has transformed into a “big, yellow bird” about to kill them all. Then, the tables start to turn for John Procter, when Mary begins to build up her panic, turning her confessions back to the lies that started the whole story. Mary proceeds to accuse Procter of being “the Devil’s man!” Waking her at night “to sign the Devil’s book” with “My name, he want my name, “I’ll murder you,” he says, “If my wife hangs! We must go and overthrow the court,” he says! Lies will force people to do or to say all to save their selves.
