My Thoughts

https://www.tripsavvy.com/bahamas-4139224 During this research project I had many obstacles but one of the biggest was that I did not know what or how to start my project. There were too many amazing things to write about the country of the Bahamas. After I found the topic that I wanted to write my essay on I started doing my research which led me to another problem.  The topic I wanted to write on did not have enough information. Eventually, after searching the internet I finally did find a topic I was certain about and with enough information. The topic I chose was the wealth of The Bahamas and the pros and cons of it. Tourism and Government are the heavy hitters on the reason for the Bahamas wealth. Tourism makes up about 60% of all incomes in the Bahamas and it also makes up about half of the jobs. Whereas the government doesn't tax and they also establish offshore banking which lures in wealthy people all over the world. https://palmcay.com/blog/buy-home-bahamas/ ...

  The tale of "Tetiyette and the Devil" is a short story from Guadeloupe and is showed as a fairy tale which clues the reader that there is a moral from what the readers are about to read. "That child was very hard to please and found no one to her taste” (Guadeloupe 1) This sentence helps us understand that the child is not humble, appreciative, and also suggests the child may be self-centered and thinks she’s always right.    In the story the author uses metaphor throughout the story that personifies animals as humans to show their judgment on who and how they are on their appearance.   While the author writes where his character is judging the others by their appearance and an example is when the child in the story says, "make him go away, make him go away"(Guadeloupe 1) To the Goat and Pig. This statement was made before she talked to them and solely a judgement made about them just by their appearance. As the Devil enters the scene, it is the only ...

Compare The story little Cog-burt and Cotton Candy have many similarities. There are some obvious similarities and other not so obvious. The obvious being both stories took place in the Caribbean. Another analogy that was more in detail was the fact that one of the main characters Little Cog-burt and the main character Lola in Cotton Candy both show unconditional love toward a non human things. For example Little Cog-burt falls for the doll that was placed on top of the Christmas tree.  While Lola falls for the a butter fly. Which she was naming after her ex-relationships. Also both characters were very picky on what they wanted. All of Lola's boyfriends names started with the letter D. While Little Cog-burt also was very picky where he did not appreciate the gift that was given to him like the other kids. A similarity that relates to the country the stories are from is that both countries were colonized at one point. Contrast  The main difference between these t...

  The tale of "Tetiyette and the Devil" is a short story from Guadeloupe and is showed as a fairy tale which clues the reader that there is a moral from what the readers are about to read. "That child was very hard to please and found no one to her taste"( Guadeloupe 1) This sentence shows the child is not humble, appreciative, and suggests the child may only think that there is her way or no way.    The author uses metaphor throughout the story that personifies animals as humans to show their judgment on their appearance. Like how the child said "make him go away, make him go away"(Guadeloupe 1) To the Goat and Pig without talking to them and solely judging them just by their appearance. As the Devil enters the scene, it is the only one of the suitors referred to as "young man." A way of the author to display in the reader's mind what all the suitor's appearance was with referring to some as animals and only the devil as a human. Due ...

It is a big tourist attraction.  The yellow elder is the national flower, the Lignum Vitae (tree of life) is the national tree, the flamingo is the national bird, and the blue marlin is the national fish.

 Someone that has lived for 18 years, moved to America from the country with the highest point in the world (Mount Everest, Nepal) at a very young age you would think they have seen it all. Or if they cracked their head open at the age of 3 resulting in 12 stitches they experienced it all. You would be mistaken there are many things that are still not discovered in this world. We won't be able to see everything or experience everything but our goal is in life is to do as much as we can.  Football has to be the best sport hands down. It is especially exciting when the Super Bowl is going to be held in your city and your team (Patriots)is in it. Watching the sport is fun but playing it is another level of excitement. Not only football any sport in general. Like 8 years of Martial Arts can teach you a lot. The work you put in when you're a white belt and working really hard to reach black belt pays off. The amount of respect and knowledge you gain is in a wh...
