Gina College Essays Samples For Students

During one of my summer breaks in college, my high school friends and I decided to have a short reunion and gathered at a classmate’s house and have a good time. Their idea of a good time was getting drunk and getting crazy. At the age of 18, and despite being miles from home, I haven’t had, and would not subject myself to getting myself wasted. My father drank too much alcohol and I’ve promised myself that I would not give in to alcohol.

My classmates prodded me to drink a bottle of beer but I said I would pass. Still, ...

An Analysis

Katherine Min’s short story, ‘Courting a Monk’ deals ostensibly with how the narrator, Gina, met, courted and married her husband, but Min uses the story to explore issues of cultural identity, the nature of Buddhist belief, the tensions between her and her father, and, ultimately, the meaning of life. The story might be said, very broadly, to deal with the problems of how immigrants to the U.S.A. assimilate and how we define national identity. Throughout the story Min uses images of stillness contrasted with images of rapid and movement, and also uses people’s attitudes to words and language, ...

Response to Montie Williams

As Williams correctly puts it, it is legally, morally and ethically wrong for anyone to break the law and go away with it unpunished irrespective of their position in the society. This is the moral judgment that needs to inform our decision making as criminal justice professionals. The moral rule is that everybody should follow the law as they exist to protect the society from harm. Given the self-interested and egoistic nature of human beings, it would be chaotic to allow people to decide when and when not to abide by the laid down rules and laws. Using the ...

Berlin and Germany has for the past few decades known as a center for the European art scene. The city itself is a historical site and one that is very much known for its architecture, history and culture. Berlin for the majority of the second half of the twentieth century was not the most attractive place in Europe for artist, art dealers, gallery owners, and brokers to do business. This was largely due to the effect of the Cold War, the construction of the Berlin Wall and the sensitive political landscape in which Berlin was located. With the end ...

Homeschooling is an effective way of educating the child because it creates the favourable atmosphere needed for the growth of curiosity, an essential factor for further exploration. Children who receive their education at home enjoy more freedom to experiment, evaluate and conclude the facts in a manner better than the children educated in schools. As per Gina Riley, one of the most impressive strengths of home education lies in the fact that the entire process revolves around the child’s intrinsic motivation to learn (3). It is this intrinsic motivation that prompts the child to look for more knowledge ...

This also relates to the differences in business objectives and care objectives, and the fact that business objectives might gain precedence over care objectives (Finkelman, 2011). The use of social workers and case managers are ways that my ...

The supporting roles were played by Matt Willis as Fiyero, Lillie Flynn as Nessarose, Adam Pettigrew as Boq, Christopher Howell as Dr. Dillamond, Julie Legrand as Madame Morrible, and Desmond Barrit as the Wizard of Oz.

Many literary writers have at one time or another written about the slavery and the slave period. All these works are recorded and stored as evidence of the dark period during which the human dignity was severed to the extreme.
