Ehrilch describes cowboys as being thought of as rough, rugged, and unable to connect on thew outside but on the inside being this soft, caring, people who have as many emotions and feeling as women, they're just more hesitant to show it. Her tone is very sympathetic towards them like she feels how they do. The way she describes them in a softer more "feminine" light makes it seem like this is how she really wants them to be.

The way that Sante breaksdown secrecy really shows us how much we rely on it in our daily lives. Internet is a big part of this. You can put anything you want on the internet without fully realizing the countless amount of people that will see it. This is just a way secrecy is "spread". Someone tells someone on this website then emails another person and so on and so forth till half the world has seen something that was only meant for that one person.

Values and ethics is not something i think should be taught in a school setting.
These types of things are what our parents or family members are supposed to be teaching us. Yes, values like honesty and integrity should be reinforced by staff but definitely not taught.

Movies usually comes with a genre attached to them which is a great way to catagorize them, but many good films incorporate many genres into their plot. Different genres many times seems like a recipe for success. Movies that have the next scene to be totally obvious are never fun. You want twist so youre always guessing and you stay attentive and interactive.

Alone, fearful, outcast. The boy thinks and feels this way as he walks into the cafeteria doors. He stands in the lunch line scanning the vast room filled with his new peers. He pays for his food, turns around, and is frozen. Where do I go? He stands for a moment, turns, and leaves.
Nobodiness: usually felt in a new place, with people you dont know, or in uncomfortable situations. Kids especially know how to make our peers feel this way. You feel almost ostracized from everyone else but it always seems like it your fault when many times its not.

While reading Tuesdays With Morrie I never wanted to put the book down because I wanted to know the next enlightening thing Morrie would say. He teaches Mitch many lessons but I learned not to be so concerned with the possessions i have and worry more about the "important" things in life: family, friends, etc...
Morrie really ended up having the most positive attitude when it came to anything. Even to his dying day he was happy about the life he lived and didn't really focus on the fact that he was staring death in the face. He made me realize how lucky and blessed I really am.
The only thing i couldn't help but still fear is death. Even after Morrie tells Mitch about letting go, I just cant. Dying is basically my ultimate fear and I have a feeling it will be for the rest of my life. Living my life, and everything about it is amazing. Sure it has its ups and downs but experiencing new things is something I always want to be able to do. End of story.
