How Can Guilt Enslave Us?

Something I have been very guilty of is when I accidently told others a secret that I was told not to tell. At first I felt very nervous and tried to conceal the fact that I have spilled my friend’s secret. I even told the person I spilled the secret to keep the secret. Days after I spilled the secret, I could not talk with her freely or normally. I felt so guilty. I also felt very uneasy everyday every time I thought of what I have done. However, if a secret was spilled, it always has ways to spread around quickly. Soon, my friend knew that I spilled the secret and came to confront with me. I felt so guilty that I almost cried and immediately apologized to her. We made up after that. After this incident, I learned that guilt can motivate you to do things that you do not have the courage to do. It can make you feel very depressed and melancholic every day until the problem is solved.

How do you live life to the fullest?

I think one of the experiences should be to travel around the world. This gives you a broader and international view point of the world. You also get to learn more. The bad thing is that you do not get to stay in one place for too long so you would not understand the place as accurately. Another experience is writing a biography of your own. Doing this can enable you to evaluate whether you have done something valuable. If not, it can motivate you to quickly do something. However, someone else may think that writing a biography is to flamboyant or showy. Also, making friends from diverse countries is also a good experience. That way, you can learn a lot from them or visit them in different countries. However, those friends may not be as close to you. Another essential experience is joining a volunteer group whether it is a cleaning r teaching group. I think this helps contribute back to the society and people who need a lot more help than you do. Last, I would say to just believe in yourself and do your best on everything. That will help you get through life with a positive attitude instead with down emotions.

What are the Perils of Jealousy?

I think the description is very accurate. Jealousy can become overwhelming and can lead you to do destructive deeds.In the end, one who feels jealous can become so addicted to that feeling and could not get out of it. The person who feels jealous is the one who suffers the most because no one could talk a person out of being jealous. When jealousy strike a person, that person can do unbelievable, dangerous, and evil deeds. He or she may deviate from his or her normal behavior.They can try to do what ever to gain what they are jealous of. People often hurt or try to harm others they are jealous of. In a love relationship, many girls can often get jealous when the boys they like get too intimate with other girls. Girlfriends can often compare their boyfriends to others and get jealous when they think the other boyfriends are better. Jealousy can cause people to become discontented about their previous states. In result,a lot of quarrels can occur and cause the end of a relationship.

How can we Fight Injustice?

One of the social injustice is social injustice is environmental injustice. It is when old dump sites are built near low-income houses or when toxic manufacturing plants are located near poor areas. One way may be to write and to make sure the article or the special column is posted in local newspaper or international magazines. Another way is to conduct speeches that talk and advocate the importance of fighting against this injustice around the world. Last, people can use the influence of public figures to help spread the word of serving justice to all. I think writing is fairly effective  Many people have the habit of reading newspaper. In that way, those people can get to know of environmental injustice and may be persuaded by the author’s writing more easily. Giving speeches is very effective also. Speeches can be broadcasted by media and can be spread to even faraway places. Good speakers can control the mood of people and evoke some sympathy in them. Lastly, the use of public figures may not be that much effective  Specific celebrity or public figures have their particular supporting crowd. If some people hate the public figure by any chance, they may choose to not listen to what they say or not support what they advocate.

Apollo Landing Rewrite

Apollo II became the first manned space mission to successfully land on the Moon after it launched from the Kennedy Space Center on July 21, 1969! Astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins were all on Apollo II. On June 20, Armstrong and Aldrin landed their small lunar  module in the Sea of Tranquility where Armstrong landed on the Moon and spoke the very famous line. " That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind." A total of over 600 million people were watching the event on television. Armstrong and Aldrin achieved something very honorable and great by planting an American flag in the soil, installing a plaque that bored the signature of each of the astronaut and President Nixon, and an inscription before going back to the shuttle. An inscription that read, "Here Men From Planet Earth First Set Foot Upon the Moon, July 1969 A.D. We Came in Peace For All Mankind."

Why Keep a Diary

I have kept a diary together with my friend when I was in elementary school. I think the most important reason for me to keep a diary is the remembrance of particular and important events. Other reasons may be to get to know yourself better or for others to get to know you on a deeper level, to train your writing or articulating skills, and to reveal your secrets that you do not want other people to know. It is a way to express your true thoughts and dissatisfaction.

I would rather keep a traditional diary in a book. For me, I write a journal to reveal my private thoughts and encounters to express not for the sake of sharing with other people. Also, some thoughts are too private that I will not want people to know about it. I believe if there is a need for me to gain some suggestions or feed backs, I can just share the diary with someone instead of leaving it on the internet where I cannot exactly take control of who looks at my diary. I can also choose to share or “exchange” the diary with someone so he or she can write down thoughts after reading my entry. I can learn from their thoughts from their entries, too. In conclusion, the traditional diary is easier to control and for me to keep a more private and free space.

Macbeth's Soliloquy

One of the soliloquy of Act 1 scene 1 is spoken by Lady Macbeth. In this part of the soliloquy, Lady Macbeth has already developed the thought of murdering Duncan. She has decided to persuade Duncan of this horrible deed. This soliloquy is her talk to herself about securing and strengthening the thought of doing this violent action. She wished for the evil spirits to take away all her thoughts of human conscience and kindness, to change her personality into an evil one. She wanted the darkness of night to cover up the evil deeds she was going to do so that no one who is just can stop her. This foreshadows how Duncan might really be killed during his stay at Macbeth’s castle. It also shows a little about Lady Macbeth’s feminist side of controlling her husband and her sureness of her influence on Macbeth. This soliloquy contributes to the story line by bringing about Duncan’s death. The other soliloquy is revealed by Macbeth about his opinion on death. The news of Lady Macbeth’s death plunged him a little more into misery. However, the news also made him gave up on himself. He conveyed the thought of how every person has to die on day. It is just a matter of time. Macbeth thought that life is short and line an illusion. He compared life to a candle that does not last long and a poor actor whose time on stage is short and unimportant. To Macbeth at this point, life to him is already lacking meaning. It is just like a drama that is full of conflicts and troubles but without goals to achieve. I think this soliloquy contributes to this scene’s mood of sympathy toward Macbeth and desolation of Macbeth. It also foreshadows how Macbeth’s depressions may lead him to his eventual downfall.
