1. only a few female characters were in novel and they had little purpose and respected none. betrayal) seems like betrayal was common nature it happens as if it means nothing. Brothers) botherhood was based on your relationship with person rather than blood b/c they were like brother before they even knew. guilt) amir showed hidden guilt because he kept his feelings inside vs. just admitting to what had happen and moving on. Redemption and journey kind of went together because of the purpose amir made the trip back to right a wrong and the struggle of two young men.Father and sons) the father showed favoritism towards they two boys.. class distinction) they displayed the high class society and low class.
Setting takes place in present time and goes back to afganastan

Im off thanksgiving this year finally i've worked it 3 years in a row. Not to excited but i get to see my family i have not spent much time with them since i moved to macon its tough being over here alone with no family. I cant trust my kids with  anyone so its hard to find a sitter if its not daycare setting. maybe i'll get out of that stage one day but these days you can't trust everybody 
i don't know if  i can continue this. stress at work home and school its just too much. i woke up this morning dreading the whole day. i know am being selfish because i should be grateful i woke up today but some days are just not good. maybe after thanksgiving i'll be a lil more thankful for life but right now am lost.

woman vs lady

A female can be classified in my opinion as a woman or a lady. Either term can be used but have two different meanings. The way that a female acts, looks, and reacts can classify her as either and this is just my .
There is a 1 to 17 male to female ratio so naturally when they are in the presence of one another the attention is on the female. Both a lady and a woman will draw the attention of the crowd. The difference is that when you are considered a lady you are seen and not heard. A lady becomes noticed. A woman on the other hand makes herself noticed rather than being noticed. A woman will still the show by drawing attention to herself. A lady remains herself quite elegantly, she allows the attention to come to her.
Females are the strongest creatures God created. We can carry the weight of the world on our shoulders and still stand. Females are also the most argumentative  people i think. But a lady knows how to hold her weight and not show it to the world. A lady can be holding hot rocks on the inside, yet a smile on her face and an attitude so bright you'd never know that there was something wrong. She holds her composure the the toughest circumstances and never shows you that she can be broken. When a woman is going through something the entire world will know it. She is bitter and has an attitude about everything, letting her troubles and worries affect her life. A woman allows the stress of being a females control her life, she shows people her weak points.
Women and ladies become mothers, they marry, have children and love strongly. Females seem to carry the love of the universe. A woman will have kids, she supports her family independently. She is able to maintain a marriage or long term relationship and not lose herself. A Lady doesn't have children she raises a family even if its alone. She is never in a relationship she's part of a partnership. She commits to whatever she has to even if it means giving up part of herself for the good of something or someone else.
Both a woman and a lady are special people and if they were all the same it might throw the world off balance. I applaud both because you need one to check the other. You need woman to show you the world is not perfect but you need a lady to remain you that maybe it's not but be yourself hold your head high and remember God made us females superior for a reason, take it how it's giving to you and be two sided but show the world that side that was meant to be seen. Be A Lady!!!

example Essay

have you ever had two people express the exact same idea or relay the same message but have two totally different outcomes. its not so much as what you say rather how you say it. your body language, tone and expression implies more than the words you say.
i recall an accident to occur at work that makes me feel very strongly about this. i work at a crisis stabilization center for adolescents with mild to severe behavior and mood disorders. there was a child there once while during his stay had a problem taking showers and we later came to discover he had lice. one day as everyone was sitting on the unit a nurse comes in sits quietly besides him and ask how is he doing than smiling and daringly whispers to him that he has to take a shower and she needs to assist him with washing his hair using a special shampoo. he respectfully says back to her you're not going to touch me and continues with his game. less than two minutes later another nurse walks in , stands in front of him hands on her hips and a look on her face so daring and powerful i started to shake. with a tone so bold and sharp says aloud to him, you need to take a shower and I'm going to wash your hair and you really don't have a choice. At that instance the child jumps up storms around the room throwing and turning over things with such rage. this was ackward coming from a very anti-social child who had bearly spoken two words since he had been there. This outbburst continued and he ended up having to be restrained for an hour. As he calmed down and was being released someone aked what caused you to just go off like that and he replied, " no one can make me do anything, she doesnt know weather i was going to or not she just walks in and demands me to do something, she's not my mother and i'm not afraid of her she had an attitude so i showed her i could have one too." both nurses ask the child the same thing just with one showing more affection and he other being so demanding but only in the physical sense they had two totally different outcomes. so be mindful of your own mood and attitude when talking to people bacause you could say the most compassionate thing in the world to a person but if your own vibe is negative the vibe you give off will be negative also. 
A personal experience comes to mind as i think about work related issues. In my field of work the person with the better relationship needs to access a situation first. An 8 yr. old male was very upset he was new to the facility and didn't know anyone so he was acting out. I had worked with the client previously at another institution, the charge nurse came and pulled me off another unit and asked me if i would try to settle him down. As i tried to enter onto the unit the staff that was trying to settle him down yells back at me don't come over here i'm handling this we don't need anymore people on the unit we have enough help, So i state back i'm just following orders and you dont have it he's still agitated and trying to attack you so how can you possibly have it under control. I didnt mean any harm but the attitude she got with me instead of just saying i  want to try and calm him down on her own or listening to the point that i was making we both had attitudes with each causing the client to react even more, feeding off the anger we displayed for each other. We began to argue about me intervening on her situation and the nurse has to step in to calm us down. Once we're quiet and actually listening to each other i respond that she just yells at me like she's my mama telling me what i need to do. she says i was trying to tell you what to do, only that i was trying to handle this alone, but she was already upset. By her being upset and displaying her anger when she was talking to me i assumed that the problem was with me and automatically took defense. If she had been calm and respectful, I would have asked her if she wanted help or handle it alone but i got angry cause she was anger. So, as the saying goes actions speak louder than words.

when love knocks you down

A lot of people don’t believe in love at first sight or that
someone has been placed here just for them, I do.
Have you met someone that has made an unchangeable impact on your life and you know your life wouldn’t be the same without him. Due to my bad experiences with love and relationships I use to believe love wasn’t for me. I would find some guy that was very interested in me and do things to sabotage any chance of us having a relationship because I felt it was a waste of time. I remember my best friend saying to me,” baby girl you got to open up and take a chance with somebody, loves just not going to happen all once, gods just not going to drop an angel in your lap.” I’m the type of woman that believes if you don’t love them it’s not worth the time. When I met someone and I didn’t feel an instant connection I didn’t waste my time trying to get to know them. All my friends thought that was a bad way to be, that I would always be alone and miserable; however I didn’t feel that way I felt I was worthy of the same type of love I was capable of giving.
I still think that way today and as everyone can see I’m not alone and quite happy. Not only did I not settle for just any guy I found my knight, my King Author of the 21st century. He’s that kind of person that when it’s storming around me I’m not afraid to dance in the rain with him at my side. Sometimes, when I’m down or things just don’t seem to be going my way, he lifts me up so high I forget about all my worries. It’s like he’s a cannon that just drops these huge bombs on everything negative in my life. He reminds me that things in life are not always perfect, fair, or on time but in the end it’s always worth it. It has been years since the day I first I laid eyes on him and still I find something new about him I love every day. He’s my angel, placed here just for me, just the way I asked and I’ll never forget the day God placed him in my life. I remember it like it happen yesterday.
It was June 17, 2005; the sun was shining so bright outside the small, tan and red church. The temperature was only about 97 degrees but the anticipation made it seem as if it was 105. My best friend was getting married today and I was one of her braid’s maids, I was so excited. I remember this day explicitly but not because of the wedding. I can still recall the very timid smell of the roses that were tied to the pews, the glow of the candles surrounding the church, and the butterflies in my stomach as the doors opened. I remember this day as if it was my own wedding day, but it was clearly a day I would never forget. The ice pink silk, fitted, yet sleet dress that caressed me so firmly, complemented by clear heels and a long sheer wrap that I held around my waist, an unforgettable day, the day the perfect man was dropped into my lap. The day I fall in love.
I remember the first time I laid eyes on McCarthy Trovon Hardwick; the other half of my soul had been instantly given to me. As someone bailed out the first words to Luther Van dross’s Here and Now I slowly and elegantly stepped over the thrash hold. I remember looking up and seeing this man that seem to be glowing, a white tuxedo, black shoes, and his hair was braided in a design that sticks in my mind still today. This man, not even noticing the tall slender guy that was escorting me down the aisle, mesmerized me. Even though he was feet away from me I could smell his cologne, Unforgettable was the name, so far away but the smell was strong and seem to be calling to me. I proceeded to the balcony like I was floating, so gracefully and light I felt, yet not one time taking my eyes off of him. As the wedding continued it appeared to me that we were the only two people there. Hearing the words, “ here and now, I promise to love faithfully… your all I need,” we made total eye contact; therefore he finally noticed me noticing him and my heart seem to melt and with tears in my eyes overwhelmed with emotion, I stood silently never knowing that today would change my life in a way I couldn’t imagine.

Sierra101

Well, I am back in English 101. I previously  took it at the technical college but didn't take full  advantage of the opportunity. This year i hope to be more passionate about my writing. I've been mesmerized by writing since i was in grade school. I'd like to learn how to keep from shifting in tense, i seem to have issues with that in my writing. I have so much going on in my life, with kids, school, working and my relationship that writing down the events of my life is the only way i can express my thoughts and not get overwhelm. 
I have this neat little journal that i keep and it is so unorganized. I'd really like have it more organized because I'm not that great on expressing things verbally so i use written words to communicate my feelings to other people. If you meet me personally you'll think I'm  this very outspoken young lady who verbalizes quite well. I have great communication skills when it  not personal  or affects me in any way. The structure of my writing is not to the best standards, I'd like work on that so maybe one i can turn my personal thoughts or opinions over to someone else who may get just as much insight out of them as i have and they need to be able to read them
