Gratitude Essay

Crafting an essay on the theme of gratitude presents its own set of challenges, as the subject matter is
both profound and deeply personal. The difficulty lies not in the scarcity of material to cover, but
rather in the delicate balance required to convey genuine appreciation without sounding clichéd or
insincere.

One hurdle is navigating the fine line between expressing gratitude and avoiding platitudes. It's easy
to fall into the trap of using overused phrases that may dilute the sincerity of one's feelings. Striking
a chord that resonates with the reader, making them feel the authenticity of the gratitude being
conveyed, is a delicate art.

Moreover, the challenge extends to finding a unique angle or perspective on gratitude. Countless
essays have been penned on the topic, making it imperative to approach the subject with fresh eyes
and original insights. This requires not only creativity but also a thorough understanding of what
gratitude means on a personal level and how it can be universally relatable.

In addition, there's the challenge of maintaining a coherent structure. Gratitude is a broad emotion,
and without a well-organized essay, the narrative might risk becoming scattered or disjointed. A
well-thought-out outline becomes crucial to guide the reader through a journey that unfolds
seamlessly, capturing the essence of gratitude from start to finish.

The most formidable obstacle, perhaps, is the introspective nature of the task. Delving into one's own
experiences and emotions to articulate the significance of gratitude demands a level of self-awareness
that can be uncomfortable. It requires not only reflecting on positive aspects of life but also
acknowledging and overcoming challenges, using them as stepping stones to appreciate the journey.

In conclusion, writing a compelling essay on gratitude necessitates finesse, creativity, and


introspection. It is a challenging endeavor that goes beyond mere expression, delving into the realm
of authenticity and emotional resonance. As one grapples with the complexities of gratitude, the
ultimate goal is to create a piece that not only resonates with the audience but also leaves them with
a profound sense of connection and understanding.

Biopsychology Personal Statement
Our existence, as the most developed species on Earth, relies on intelligence and
determination to understand how our body functions and what we can do to help
with its constant battle for survival. Diseases that were once deemed rare are
becoming extremely common. With no cures, many patients lives are endangered.
Being born in a generation full of technological advancements, I believe that, with my
passion for biology and inquisitiveness for the world of biomedical science, now is the
time to engage in this global challenge to develop easier and better ways to live our
lives. My A Level choices have equipped me with the adequate skills and basic
knowledge that I feel are necessary to study a degree in Biomedical Science. In
Psychology, I found Biopsychology most fascinating because we learnt about how the
Nervous System works alongside the Endocrine System. Equally, I enjoyed
Psychopathology as we learnt about the causes and symptoms of diseases such as OCD,
and the drug based biological treatments for them that target hormones such as serotonin.
Studying Mathematics has enabled me to achieve a greater understanding of how to
apply statistical tests such as the Spearman s Rank Correlation, in Biology. During the
Summer of 2017, I attended a Forensic Science course... Show more content on

By the time I attended Secondary School, I found myself nominating the same charity

Should Australia Have The Right To An Adequate Standard

Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights embodies the right to an
adequate standard of living. Although this doctrine was adopted in 1948, there is a
significant amount of work to be done worldwide. Moreover, the absence of a right to
housing would compromise many other basic rights including the right to family life and
privacy, freedom of movement, assembly and association, and the right to health.
The Commonwealth of Australia believes that everyone has the right to an adequate
standard of living, including adequate food, water, and housing. Australia acknowledges
adequate housing as an essential for human survival as supported in documents such as
Australia s National Human Rights Action Plan. Human rights provides us with a
language and a framework that can help shift the debate from one of welfare and pity to
one of rights and empowerment. (Graeme Innes, former Human Rights Commissioner)

Persuasive Analysis Of Jamaica Kincaid s A Small Place
Persuasive Methods in A Small Place Jamaica Kincaid s influential work of nonfiction A
Small Place (1988) tells how a once beautiful island in the Caribbean has been
transformed into a disgusting holiday resort that is there to only accommodate American
and European tourists. Kincaid seeks to inform the readers about the situation and the
history of Antigua, and also to remind them of the role they played in the downfall of the
small island. Although her tone is full of anger, she does not forget that her first
responsibility is to educate. She educates the reader by making the issues personal to
them by communicating clearly, and directly to the reader, without forgetting to make
the reading enjoyable by making them smirk every once in... Show more content on

Almost the whole book is written in the second person, making everything that happens
more personal. Using a second person grabs the reader s attention much more
effectively than using a third person would. I believe this is the only way Kincaid
thought that the American and British readers would care about what she has to say;
there already exist many books about Caribbean history during and after the
colonization, but people are still ignorant. In the beginning of the first part of the book,
Kincaid describes a tourist s taxi ride from the V. C. Bird International Airport to their
destination, the hotel. Every privileged American or European reader can imagine
themselves in the place of the tourist: you say, Oh, what a marvellous change these bad
roads are from the splendid highways I am used to in North America. (Or, worse,
Europe). (Kincaid 5) By making the reader insert themselves into the story, all the
accusations about colonialism and slavery are swallowed more easily. It is almost as if
Kincaid s hand emerged from the pages, grabbed the reader, and placed them in the
backseat of the taxi. As Rhonda Frederick said in her essay: it is significant to note that
Kincaid s writing prevents readers from distancing themselves from the text and her
criticisms; on the contrary, it firmly places readers where Kincaid decides they should
be. (Frederick 5 6)
Kincaid seeks to create a rift between
Fiction Vs Nonfiction
American literature uses both fiction and nonfiction to amplify a modern students
reading ability. Fiction uses imaginary events and people to broaden the minds of the
readers; nonfiction uses real life people and events. Most nonfiction works are based
on history. In the biography and autobiography Between a Rock and a Hard Place by
Aron Ralston, his story begins with him biking up a canyon, then hike down Blue
John Canyon which would take a total of eight hours for a round trip, so he thought.
He was making down over a 800 pound boulder wedged between the walls. When he
gets over and down past the boulder it starts shifting and then falls; Aron, out of
instinct, puts his hands up to protect his head puts his hands up. The boulder then
smashes his right hand between the rock wall and the boulder itself. He thinks of four
options for him to escape this bolder: he has to excavate the rock to free his hand;
make an anchor with his climbing ropes to lift the boulder and free his hand; amputate
his arm; or he waits for help to arrive. He knows help will not come to save him for at
least two days because he did not tell anyone where and when he would be back home.
Aron decided to excavate the rock; over a day and a half he barely made any progress
on the excavation, so he decided to give up on that. He set up a pulley system to lift the
rock,but that had no success. He was finally down to his last option of amputating his
arm, but he could not think of how he would cut through the bone with his dull multi tool
knife. Aron decided to wait and not amputate his arm. He has ran out of water and has...

Sam Houston

Sam Houston A Bullet Never Lies, a line from the popular movie, Man on Fire, seems
to be more than just a line from a fictional character, it rings some truth, just ask one of
America s Early leading political figures who helped not only physically shape the united
states with the addition of Texas, but also greatly influenced the political system through
his business and politics. He is more than just a military training post or a large
university, Sam Houston was a great war leader, political leader, and family man who
lived by his own words, A leader is someone who helps improve the lives of other people
or improve the system they live under, and formed a legacy second to none. ... Show

It was this BAttle that forever earned Sam Houston a heroes honor and great popularity
which undoubtedly is the fuel that launched his political career in Texas (Flanagan). It
was only five months later that Sam Houston beat out Stephen Austin and Henry Smith
for the Texas Presidency (Buenger). After taking his seat early on October 22nd 1836,
Houston began his plan to push for the Annexation of Texas. With Texas broke and weak
and the possibility of another attack from Mexico, Houston worked on making Texas a
strong independent nation because the United States could not yet make a grab for
Texas, the possibility of it causing tension not only between the US and Mexico but also
with France and England was not a smart gamble, so instead, Houston worked on trade
agreements with England (TSHA). This began the climb for Texas being recognized as
an independent nation rather than an unrulely land of mutineers. Without this step, Texas
would never have been the valuable addition to the United States that it later became.
Unfortunately Sam Houston was unable to see the Annexation of Texas during his terms
as president of Texas, but it is very clear that without Samuel Houston s experience on the
battle field and educated mind in command of the Independent nation of Texas, our
nation s history would have been written completely different, and it was in the States
favor that a man
