Short Response Two "Culture and August Wilson"

Culture is a big deal in our world today. We see it everywhere. Everyone has their own beliefs, we value certain things, and we have our own religion. Cultures such as the African American culture has different beliefs and ways of living compared to an Indian culture. Each Culture creates different people and what they believe in. Jewish people do not have the same religion as a Catholic person. Everyone has their own styles and ways of living. some cultures are strict and some are not.

My Culture, from where i come from has shaped me to be a decent person. I was brought up from a polish background. My beliefs were strict yet somewhat relaxed. I was catholic and baptized. All of this shaped me to be a better person, not to lie, cheat, steal, or do drugs. My ways of viewing the world is open minded and i was taught not to judge.

Short Response One "Orwell and Identity"

My daily writing consists of memos and journals. I try to write down at the end of the day what experiences that I traveled upon and my reflections. Although somedays are too busy or I'm simply just too tired to write, I eventually catch up. The purpose of writing daily helps me reflect and learn daily lessons. It gives me a sense of peace and relaxes me.

One writing assignment that I have found interesting is a journal of my daily life and experiences. One of my professors graded a journal about our lives and what our reflections were, and I kept writing after her class had ended for that semester. I really liked it, not only did it teach me about the world but it taught me about myself.

Unit Zero

I like my first and last name because its unique and original. My name represents me in who I am and who I want to be. My father came up with my name and my mother went along with it. I have never not liked my name, I believe it suits me well. I love my last name because all the people I have ever met, no one I know of has it.

My name came from my grandmothers choice. She is no longer around, but everyone I have met that is involved with my dad and knew his mom and says that I look and act just like her. My nickname is cole, its short for nicole. I am polish from both sides of my family, both my mom and dad are polish. My last name has always stayed the same and I really don't want it to change. I would love if it could stay with me and be passed onto my children, although that's not possible.
