Whats the point of living in this world if you only care about yourself? Everyday people waste money on things they do not need or spend money on expensive cars, clothes, jewelry and much more. They don't care about the homeless and do not give money to non profit charities. Celebrities are positive example of greed by giving money to the poor or to help raise money for non profit organizations and show how generous they are.
The morbidly obese people is an example of greed because they stuff their mouths with luxurious amounts of food. It is like a Thanksgiving dinner where everyone is stuffing food in their mouths and forgetting about those who cannot afford these extravagant dinners or those who cannot afford anything at all.
Greed brings out the selfishness out of everyone. It is a disease that cannot be cured. Greed brings the devil out of a person. Greed is a waste of time and is not helpful to our society because the economy is getting worse. "The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer"

Twelfth Night Essay
When I began writing this essay, i was having difficulty at first because I had some difficulty understanding William Shakespeare's language. I got alot of help from sparknotes.com on "No Fear Shakespeare " because it had the modern text and i was able to understand it much better. When I needed to choose a Shakespeare sonnet, i had to look up online the meaning and the theme of each one. I chose sonnet 138 because it was about deception which is one of the main themes in William Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night. I needed help on how to setup the format of the essay because i was having trouble. After I left my PAL instructor, I went to the Writing Center to start my essay. I went to the Writing Center again to revise and it was very helpful. This essay took alot of time and hardwork.
The Problem of Describing Trees
In the poem "The Problem of Describing Trees" by Rodney Jones and Robert Hass, has several slippery slopes of language. The way a person describes an object or a person with metaphors or other literary elements can mean have several interpretations. Rodney is using the power of language to expose how the elements on Earth are multi-demonsional

What's you definition of Knowledge ?
Knowledge is defined as the body of truth, information, and principles acquired by human kind. Knowledge is important because we remember what we have learned in the past for the future. It's like a box full of memories or important facts. People uses different sources to find information about certain things. There are multiple levels of knowledge such as extreme knowledge for those who are very smart or moderate knowledge for those who are average. If we did not have knowledge, we would not know how to educate ourselves when we learn something new for a job or learning in school.
We need knowledge to understand ourselves. Knowledge has been used for centuries from scholars, psychologists and more. They tried to interpret where knowledge comes from. They did experiments and learned that knowledge comes from a certain part of the brain. It interprets what to remember and what to forget. When we write an essay, we need to know how to write a introduction that includes a topic sentence and a thesis. We also need to know how to write body paragraphs that have great detail with quotes. Finally, writing a conclusion that wraps up your essay.

Media Project
The media projects helped me see the meanings of each concordance of Shakespeare visually. I was able to see the sonnets in pictures rather than reading it straight from the book. I was able to understand the deeper meaning of what the characters in Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare means

small object to LARGE object essay thoughts
When I was thinking several ideas for the small object to LARGE object essay, several ideas came to mind such botox, junk food and caffeinated drinks. The first two, both seemed like good topics to write about but they were too broad which is why i wrote about caffeinated drinks. I used sources to prove my points about how caffeinated beverages affect society, college students and athletes. When i say caffeinated beverages, i mean Redbull, Monster Energy and other energy drinks out there. Organizing this essay was pretty difficult because that is not my strongest point. When I went to the Writing Center, the tutor helped me alot with organization, grammar and making the essay flow. I will definitely go to the Writing Center in the future because they helped and taught me a lot. GO TO THE WRITING CENTERRR
