Make a Difference!!!!!!!!

In my class ENC 1102 I was required to do five hours of service learning hours, so I decided to volunteer in Miami-Dade Animal Services Department. My experience doing my service learning hours was amazing. I chose this place because a love dogs, and I have some experience working with dogs. When I chose this place, I expected to do something that I like to, but I never thought that the work would be so important. In Animal Services there is a lot of work and there is a great necessity for volunteers. However, the work is rewarded when you contribute to save a dog’s life. The shelter provides care of dogs while they are waiting for being adopted, but this process takes time, so volunteers help showing animals to prospective adopters and helping them to select the right pet. Also, they help entertaining dogs to keep them happy while they await a new home, feeding and bathing them, and cleaning cages. I did my five-required hours, but I will keep volunteering because I realized that with a few of my time I can make a difference in these dogs’ life. I strongly encourage everyone who loves dogs to think about volunteer at Miami-Dade Animal Services, Make a DIFFERENCE while LEARNING!

Ozymandias

In this poem Shelley tells that she met a traveller who came from ancient Egypt. Who said that there (in egypt) he saw two trunlkless legs standing on the sand, with the head that is fallen down beside the trunkless legs.The sculptor(the man who makes sculptors) made the Ozymandias with so perfection that the face could reflect his cold snear(hostility), his frown, arrogantness, mocking on people etc. On the pedestal it was written the "my name is Ozymandias , King of Kings, look at my work ye might , and despair", this shows that Ozymandias was boastfull and had a fashion/habit of showing off. Now only the decay of that huge wreck remains. the moral behind this poem is that

Hamlet by William Shakespeare.

I really enjoyed reading and watching the movie about Hamlet. This was a very intersting tragedy because it was between sane and insane. After Hamlet's father death. he was devastated because his mother married his uncle very quick. Hamlet was trying to seek revange for his father's death and its in this attempt when he begins to loose everything that he loved and cared for. Wanting to kill his uncle for his dad's death, he looses the love of his life Ophelia because she goes insane after her fathers death. She was devastated and she dies. At the end of the play Hamlet finally exposed his uncle while he was fighting with Ophelia's brother. But after Claudius being exposed, Hamlet's mother drank a poison drink and she died while Hamlet was stab with a poison sword dying too but not after stabbing and poisoning Claudius. Eventhough Hamlet died he fullfilled his purpose of finding who was the king's murderer, even though in his quest his loved ones and even himself found death.

My Favorite Sport

Tennis is my favorite sport; playing tennis is really cool and it relaxes me, but it needs many high-toned skills. Playing tennis is not as easy as playing badminton or ping pong. But as soon as I learned how to play tennis, I loved it.Playing tennis is really fun and elegant. I once watched a movie about playing tennis, which was called Wimbledon. The gesture of playing tennis was so beautiful that it attracted my attention. The angle control is a very important skill in playing tennis. Any attenuate change will affect the trail of ball, so learning how to control the angle becomes the key factor to success or failure. It's so exciting that I enjoy it a lot.

Michael Corleone

The Godfather created by Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzo is my favorite movie. It has influenced the creation of dozens of mafia movies after it's creation, and has impacted the cinema industry in countless ways. It is not only the amazing casting, the direction, the production and writing that cause people to be astounded with this film, but the characters and the acting are that like no other. My favorite character is Michael Corleone played by Al Pacino who experiments a great change through the movie. When we first meet him he is a very honest looking, war hero type, that is very distant from the business of his father and the family. It is not until after his father, Vito Corleone's attempted murder that we see a new side to Michael. He goes to visit his father in the hospital only to realize that the police were no longer there to protect him. When he calls his family, the police come as well and hit him and attempt to arrest him. The disloyalty of McCluskey and Sollozzo outrage Michael and he makes plans for their murder. Clemenza and Tessio explain to him that they will go to a restaurant and he would go to the bathroom, where the gun would be hidden and he would come out and shoot them both. This all goes to plan and Michael must hide in Sicily for safety. This is the turning point in the life of Michael. He had immersed himself in the business of the family. I strongly recommend you this movie, you will love it.

Oedipus The King by Sophocles

To me this one of the most dramatic and tragic stories that I have ever read in my life, it is not close enogh to the tragedy in Romeo and Juliet is way beyond that. When I began to read this tragedy I didn't realize the magnitude of the problem that Oedipus was going to face. As we kept on reading it, it was imposible not to get more and more into it, it was amzing. As the story flows and starts to solving the big mistery of who killed the old king, things were getting pretty bad. It was a very weird for me to know that at the end Oedipus was married to his mother and that his son and daughters were also their siblings. These made me think that sometimes people say "Oh I have very bad luck" but nothing compares to what happened to Oedipus and his family. It was a very intersting story in which I really liked and enjoyed reading it, eventhough it was very crucial and demolishing for Oedipus at the end.

The World Is Too Much with Us by William Wordsworth

This poem is amazing and made me reflect a lot because this poem have so much truth in it. This poem talks about how people now are more conected with the material stuff rather than with with the natural things that the world have to offer us. To me this is very true and we can see this happening everyday, now kids stay home playing video games rather than going out and having a picnic with their family. In my opinion is not only kids, men and women also cooperate with this material world and have a huge part on it. Now a days nobody likes to walk instead of using the car which is one of the ways that we are attached to our material things. Eventhough I think this poem was truth I wish that it wasn't his way but sadly enough it is and w eare caught up with material stuffs.
