Favorite Game

Since I was a little child, I have always loved to play this game.



I still enjoy playing this game when the family gets together. It causes for a little competition and you can take out anger on certain people and nobody will ever know because it is just a game.

REALITY

Reality has many definitions therefore it can be many different things.  Reality may be defined by all of the experiences that determine how things appear to you, or it may be the state of the world as it really is rather than as you might want it to be.  Either way you view the definitions, I view reality as the way you live your personal life learning from the mistakes you make and the mistakes made around you.  It may sound cliché but I have learned that, the old saying, “wisdom comes with age so listen to your elders,” is actually a true statement. 

 Reality has been challenging me and the way I live my life this past week. On Sunday March 20, 2011, my mother passed away after battling cancer for almost 4 years. She lived a life full of fun and never taking NO for an answer. She was always willing to help everyone no matter what the problem may have been. I really look up to my mom and that will never change. She was more than a mother to me; she was my inspiration and the one I looked to for strength. Even though my mother is gone, her life has left a tremendous impact on my family and the families that lived around us.

Reality may have challenged me change the way I live my life since my mother’s death but, it has only made me stronger as an individual.

Plagiarizing is not the answer!

Ethics and morals play a very important role in my life. It is the principle or rules of conduct between right and wrong decisions within individuals. It is something I face every day, which helps me make the correct decisions. Some of the most common ethics come from religion, elders, laws, government, society, etc. You decide on your own ethics by how you were raised and what you gathered from all of the influences around you. I, Kristen Fertig, promise to follow my ethics and not cheat in English 103 or in any of my other classes while attending Clemson University. At Clemson University they have an Academic Integrity policy which states that as a university they shall not tolerate lying, cheating, or stealing in any form. The policy is enforced all over campus; therefore I will never cheat or plagiarize in any of my classes.

Rhetoric

When I view this image, the first thing that comes to mind is how everyone is labeled. There are many labels all representing something different. By having all the labels on the newborns body shows that it does not matter what age you are in society, there will always be a label that goes along with your name. The hands holding up the newborn are the parents, therefore it shows they start the labeling by the clothes they buy the newborn and how they raise the child. Overall it is an image that shows labeling in society will always be a part of ones life.
