Persuasive Essay 4 - Favorite Movie

The Gladiator

Movies have evolved over the years and now watching a movie and its effects is very incredible. I love watching movies especially movies that keep me interested with suspense. The effects that a movie has contribute a great deal to the overall production and that is why I love The Gladiator starring Russell Crowe. It is a great movie to watch with all of its suspense and action.
I have grown up watching The Gladiator. The suspense and results of the movie puts me in tears every time I watch it. Russell Crowe plays a great role in being a gladiator. He knows how to portray the pain that he felt when he lost his son and wife. Losing all he loved was hard because the people he fought for are the people that killed them.
The fighting scenes are insanely great in this movie. The movie is not gruesome but then again it has enough blood and action to keel you glued to the seat. Throughout the whole movie Russell Crowe is trying to prove that he deserves freedom from being a gladiator. Through all the obstacles in surviving he makes it through. 
Being that he won his freedom, the emperor doesn't want it to be so, and therefore he tries to kill him himself. The final battle between the emperor and Russell Crowe is the most emotional and intense battle in the movie. It is the battle you look forward to when you start watching the movie. 
When you want chills going through your body, this is the movie to watch. The Gladiator will give you an emotional roller coaster because it touches your heart. I love this movie and it should be a movie that everybody watches. The DVD should be in everybody’s movie cases.

Essay 3 - Going To College After Graduation vs. Taking A Break

College after Graduation

After graduating, a lot of people make the wrong decision in saying that they are going to take a break from school and start working or they are going to start traveling. I honestly believe that that is one of the biggest mistakes that you can make throughout your life because education is so huge that there are an abundance of possibilities when you take your education to another level. Going on to college could be one of the best decisions that you can make. Make somebody out of yourself; do not just make yourself settle for less because in the end, you are the one that is going to be living good because of that great decision.
            The economy is in a slump right now and most jobs are laying people off and barely hiring people. Nowadays, there is a very slim chance that you are getting a call back from a job. A lot of students think that with a high school diploma, getting a job should be a piece of cake but a lot of people are looking for jobs so the person that qualifies more is going to get the job. People are taking the advantage of this education and are expanding their knowledge so that they can get a better paying job. When you take your education to a higher level, you are already opening a different door to a better career. A lot of employers are looking for the top notch workers who are over achievers and can get the work done. With an economy like this, that is all you can expect from employers.
            When you take time off to work and travel, you are short handing yourself. People do not understand that when you only have a high school diploma and a regular paying job, it is going to be VERY hard to travel. Traveling takes up a lot of time and money. If you do not have a well paying job, you are going to be saving up your money for a very cool minute until you can actually go on vacation.
            Taking time off of your education is always a platform for failure. You are setting yourself up because you already know that if you are taking a break from school, you are going to end up not going back. A lot of people say that they are going to go back to school in a couple of years but they end up not going back because they get caught up with their jobs, they had kids, or they just got lazy and did not feel like going back.
            We are given a great education here in the United States. Why don’t we take advantage of it? Getting a better education leads to having a better job which gives you more money so you can spend it for the rest of your happy life. Education brings knowledge and wisdom, so make the right decision.

Music Image

Supply the color: It was red, black and white. It has a redish glow to it and it looks kind of faded. (It is not the picture that I have on here..)

What sounds do you hear? I hear my favorite music because my music has my heart in its hands. I love music, without it, I am nothing.

What mood does the picture bring to mind? The mood that the picture brings is so serene. I love the mood that music puts me in. I can be in the worst mood, but when I hear music I am calm and happy in peace.

What emotion does the picture elicit? Looking at the picture I feel as if I am in heaven because to me music is love and both together takes me to heaven. I feel like if I am bouncing on the clouds of music and love.

Does your image invoke the sensation of taste? No, it does not invoke the sensation of taste.

Prompt 1 - Outside Living vs City Apartment

I think that there is a big difference from outside living and living in an apartment in the city.The city is the place to be. I love being in the city. I grew up in the city. Hearing the ambulance sirens every night or the airplanes fly over the city is part of my sleeping routine. I love looking at all the lights that the beautiful city of Los Angeles has. The City is a part of my lifestyle.
Growing up I lived in Los Angeles and I believe that the city is far better than living in the country. The things you learn in the city will prepare you for the real world. Everything in the city is faster and chaos. You see things that you will not see in the country. The city is where you have to work for everything. You have to do crazy things sometimes but when it all comes to an end it’s something that you can look back upon.
You have options when you come to the city. You can work at a grocery store, you can go to school, you can work at the beach in the summer, and you can do all different types of things. One day, you might just wake up and say I want to go to the beach. You get up and go to the beach. Every morning, you get up and most of the time you have to do something different. The excitement is huge because every day, you do not know what you will be doing. You might go to work and do your regular routine but in the city, you just never know. The intensity the city brings is so much more invigorating because your possibilities are endless. Sometimes your days are really busy that you run out of time. Some people do not believe that is possible, but it is. You can run out of time.
The country is something that I like to call BOREDOM! You do your daily chores and then what do you do? Just sit around and maybe have some fun. In most of the country, houses are miles away from each other because most of these houses in the country have farms. Farms are the only reason that most of these people are living in the country. The country is somewhere where you cannot be there by yourself because you have no idea what is out there. In the country you just do not worry about people but you also have to worry about the different wild animals. In the city, I only worry about people. I’d rather worry about just people than people and animals.
Everybody has their own opinion. My opinion is that the city is way better than the country. I would take the city over the country any day. Some people do not like the fact that all the bad stuff happens in the city but you have to see beyond that. You have to see the real city where you find all of the noise peaceful and your home. Once you accept that, you will see the city’s beauty the way I see it.

Doctor..

If I was a doctor I would be the doctor that would study the different types of blood types. I want to see the different types of diseases. I want to help find the cure for different diseases. I want to be able to help people with their problems with their blood. The job would consist of me drawing blood from different people and then I would study the blood to see if there is anything wrong with them to see if everything is normal. I want to be able to study and probably see any type of altercations.

Twenty Ft. Tall.

If I was twenty tall I would be above the world. I would love to see how a bird sees from up above.. The only thing that I do not want to be is big because I do not want to squish anybody while I am walking. I hope that everybody can accept me for who I am. I want to be able to still have friends and everybody did not act different.
