Is a job worth loving?

I have always believed to do something well you must love it. I look at people around me who gone a certain career path because they can make lots of money doing it or someone has pressured them to do it and they dread every moment of it. I would hate to wake up every morning and be in a bad mood because of the next grueling hours ahead of you to and carry on the mood for the rest of the day because you are in a rut. I watch my boyfriend do a job he hates but because he makes such good money and his dad owns the company so he does it. Almost out of fear, to have the security of the money and to not let his dad down. His dream was to be a pilot but it was to much work and now he is in a job he hates. I believe that if you truly want to do you should do it. yes, it might be more work, time or money but isn't worth it to be happy for the rest of your career? I have chosen a career where I know that i will not prosper financially but it is something i have always loved and wanted to do. I have wanted to attend theatre school sense i was little girl and when I'm done travelling next year i will hopefully be attending Ryerson University to participate in their theatre degree. I could never imagine doing anything better then doing your hobby for your career. I know that i may not make as much money as a lawyer or a doctor or even have the same stability as most jobs but i will be doing something i love and that I'm good. i will always believe that happiness equals success!

Summer in the Yakima Valley

Summer in the Yakima Valley by Ruth Roach Pierson is a poem of many contrast. From going to the delightful sounds and movements of the day to the nervousness and loneliness of the night. In the sunlight the speaker moons over the "Santa Rosa plums, and Bing and Queen Anne cherries." The speaker loves her farm taking a glance at every detail. The jerky noise of the sprinklers and perfectness of the orchard trees. It is obvious that the speakers heart is taken by the farmhouse and all its joys. hanging out with her cousin "stomping uneven ground careful of cow pies" But as the sun goes behind the hill and the day turns to night the perspective of the speaker begins to change. As she sits "in the attic room in that house on top of the hill" her heart turns stone cold with fear. Fear of the " coyote's hungry cry" and hurt how that in a moment her happy place can turn into a nightmare. As the poem changes the surrounding sounds begin to change. Instead of the "hum and hiss of a low-flying spray plane" is taken over the howling of a coyotes cry. It is evident in this poem that there is contrast within the sound, movement and how the speaker feels. It shows how just the slight rotation of the earth can set a completely different mood in someones soul or happy place.

Novel synthesis

The novel "Candy" by Kevin Brookes and the movie "Thirteen" directed by Catherine Hardwicke show the similar quality of a teenager changing who they are because of the influence of somebody else. Tracy Freeland in "thirteen" is a very shy almost dorkish kind of girl just heading into high school. After being mad fun for her "little kid" socks Tracy decides to make a new name for herself and becomes friends with Evie Zamora. Evie, a drug addict, sex obsessed and shoplifter shows Tracy the ropes of the "good" life. Tracy knowing it is wrongs wants to fit in and follows Evie doing blow shoplifting and sleeping around with random guys. Joe in the book "Candy" falls in love with a girl named Candy who he later finds out in a heroine addict prostitute. Although Joe does not change who he is or what he does like Tracy he is still influenced by Candy. He drops his band, disobeys his family and skips school to help Candy through her with drawl. Both Tracy and Joe start out as well behaved kids but seek something interesting and new in there life. Being influenced by someone in a negative way can change someones life forever and sometimes like both Tracy and Joe that person is hard to let go no matter what they did to you or your life.

review

This comedy stars the overweight but graceful Kevin James as a security guard at a mall who must save a group of hostages from a gang that's taken over the plaza. It's vulgar and obvious, but James has a kind of charming grace The movie has a certain juvenile and predictable quality to it that makes it an unforgettable unlike the other stupid comedies of our decade. People would be won over by the film's goofy charms such as Kevin James who plays the lead role of Paul Blart. James makes a funny likable doofus who is very proud of his job and almost OCD about it even though he is just a security guard or like he says a security "officer." Directed by Steven Carr, a Man who knows how to put a camera in front of things puts certain consistent hilarious touch into it. James character falls in love with a hair extensions saleswomen by the name of Amy played by Jayma Mays. The chemistry between the two although awkward to begin with turns into a loving chemistry between two opposite kinds of people. James and Mays have engaging chemistry and create a handful of moments to spark laughter from the crowd. although this movie is in co production with Adam Sandlers movies such as Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore, pointless and unmindful movies if you will. Mall cop has a spark to it that not only glamorous people can do great things that it takes underdogs such as Paul Blart to make great things happen.

Rainy Day

They had called for rain on the news the night before so the sound of water droplets in the morning drumming against my window did not surprise me. I began to think about how my day to the beach is now going to turn out to be a boring day at home with nothing to do but watch old cartoons on channel twenty two. Exciting i sarcastically thought. I stubbled out of bed and walked towards the kitchen to say bye to my mother. As my mom was babbling in my ear and i poured myself a glass of juice and began to think that the tangy and flavorful juice and a more thrilling life then me. I decided to make a list of possible thing to do through out the day. At first i came up with things like homework, painting my nails and organizing my photo albums. As i pondered for things to do i began to drift off to sleep again. My body may have been quiet but my mind was filling with exuberant and bizarre ideas. yellow swirls and pink elephants darted across my mind. I was in a world of complete exhilaration. I was a different person here, more confident, strong and exciting and i loved it. As i walked along the lime green grass i met a talking unicorn,oh she was beautiful. Pink and blue with soft hair like satin, so majestic as she galloped. As I mounted her back and held on tight she soared through the air. I could see the colorful world beneath me. fuchsia trees, clear water lakes with vibrant colored fish. I couldn't believe my eyes. where was I? I thought, is this real? It was beautiful, i reached out to touched the pink fluffy clouds and the whimsical wind ran through my hair. I never wanted it to end. As my unicorn skimmed the ground to land everything began to get dark. The trees turned an ashy black color and my unicorn started to disappear. the fish began to die and before i knew it my world was torn apart. i started to run as my world was crashing down. " I want to go home, I want to go home" i yelled and right at that second i found myself on my living room couch again. Rubbing my eyes from a deep sleep and i was me again. sitting on my normal white couch, in my small town suburbs drinking my orange juice wishing i had something to do on a rainy day.

"Puce fairy book" a poem by Alice major and "forget Prince Charming" a short story by June Callwood both discuss the fact that know one or know two people can be perfect. In "puce fairy book" A girl uses fairytale refrences to prove to her man that no she is not " Rapunzel waiting in a tower with braids of hair like ropes" but that she is a girl who's hair "would never grow long enough" meaning that she is who she and if you cant love her like that then walk away. In "Forget Prince Charming" Callwood talks about how there is no such thing as the perfect man and that most "prince Charmings" are self centered twits. When looking for a mate you should be looking for the inside qualities of a person not there style of jean. Both of these pieces of texts talk about how no one is perfect and no love is perfect. There is no such thing as a true "happily ever after" because a healthy loving relationships should have fight should have anger because that means you care for each other and are willing to fight for each other.

Kevin Brooks

kevin Brooks born in 1959 in Exeter, devon is the Author of my novel "Candy." When he was finished school he moved out right away and moved to London to become a rockstar. This dream failed and he became an author instead. He describes his books as "stories about real people- thier thoughts,thier feelings,thier hearts and thier minds." He enjoyed writing "Candy" because it is a truthful situation that some people will have to go through. kevins reveiw on the books quotes " This story isn't very predictable, maybe a little at the beginning, but towards the end it gets harder and harder to follow which makes for a good story if you are a good reader." Brooks has also written such books as "kissing the rain", "bloodline" and "Lucas".
