Comfort Zone
By Matthew Zhang
The comfort zone is not a terrible thing. When done right, it provides stability and results that you know will be coming. As long as it does not become stale for any of the participants, the oh-so-bad comfort zone, which we’re all meant to step out of at one stage of our lives, is where I would like to stay. But there is the lust for new experiences that is internalized as we grow up and for me; it doesn’t exactly mean to play a role that I could never see myself playing. I could mean that I could broaden my horizon and take more serious roles, not that I’d be bad at them but it’s more to do with my apathy with characters that are sobbing, malcontent or saddening in general. It takes a great deal of context and characterization to make me care about your problems (see: Atonement, A Single Man, 50/50, Girl, Interrupted and The Breakfast Club), so it’s hard for me to convey any of those emotions so I just stay the hell away from those roles. But drama is not a mistress to ignore or to disobey, just like waving a phallic metal rod at the sky will get you struck by lightning one day, walking around with an umbrella will not guarantee safety. Maybe that idiom is not the best way to convey my thoughts but I have a lot of homework to do tonight so I’m editing much less than I should.
I don’t quite agree with what was written on my sheet. The “where the magic happens” disturbs me to a level further than the armpits of hell so instead, I crossed it out and replaced it with “possible gold mine”, a
sometimes my shyness can be misinterpreted as standoffishness or aloofness. But that not the case, I just need to feel my comfort zone before I go public with my ideas and feelings. For instance usually for the first or five weeks depending on the class atmosphere. I can get quite shy may not be able to present a project in front of a class because I haven’t felt my comfort zone. Also to be kind is one of my personality, due to this kindness I often get shocked when others behave in ways that are unkind…
to attend. At this camp, we will be able to spread the gospel to the children in the form of teaching, worship, dramas, games, and one-on-one interaction. After finishing up Spanish III this past semester, I am very excited to be able to put it to good use while in Peru. I am also excited to experience missions outside of the U.S. where I will be forced to step out of my comfort-zone and challenge myself spiritually. I pray that God will work through me as I try to witness to the people of Peru…
Award(1986) for the ACADEMY of motion picture arts and science. Spielbers work wasn't just thrillers, he also directed pictures that were more touchy and historical. “ Evidence of this change came with Schindler's List (1993), a HOLOCAUST drama, filmed in black and white, that won seven Academic Awards, including the prize for best film and Spielberg's first Oscar as best director” (Funk and Wagnalls). Stevens works were factual and sometimes based on true events. “Oscar nominated…
turkey. Dismantling " Getting unplugged from you old place in the interpersonal and social world that gave [me] an identity is where [my] transitions process started (Bridges pg 113)". As I became withdrawn from the toxic circle of drama, I began to realize the drama was now coming at me. I no longer wanted to be a part of something that was literally making me physically sick and not adding quality to my life or career. What was the point? The people who I considered friends, then withdrew themselves…
At times, Oberon sends Puck to fix his own mistakes but Puck just makes it a bigger problem. Within the play, Puck does many different things such as being the first one who is introduces in the fairies’ story. He also creates a whole heap of drama by making the lovers fall in love with the wrong lovers. In this scene he cause a large amount of problems that had to me fixed by others. Puck also provides Nick Bottom with a donkey's head so that Titania will fall in love with a beast and forget…
run so deep that they prevent her from simple acts as a handshake to her sister’s boyfriend. Likewise to Maggie, Laura’s insecurities with her handicap have also prevented her from preforming simple acts of interactions with people outside their comfort zone. When Laura and Jim were reminiscing about their times in high school, Laura confessed her desire for his signature on the program. After Jim questions Laura for not asking him then, her explanation was his friends always surrounded him. “You…
uncool, and childish, if you think this then you couldn’t be more wrong. Anime is a collaboration of different genres that can be sometimes funny, silly, or out-right goofy. Then there’s thrilling, blood-rushing action, or maybe a laid-back smooth drama unexpectedly rise in tension out the sudden before dying down back to the original mellow nature. But then there are its shades of black, and grey. These types of anime extend far from the usual types of anime and are only for those who know how to…
practice in preparing lessons with the aim of getting the full potential of each learner. This will also help to make the teacher aware of support mechanisms that are available. For example if a learner is a kinaesthetic learner, an outside group such as drama or puppetry can be used to physically put a workshop together to run the topic at hand. Using external practitioners to aid in the learner’s progress should be highly considered as many groups now tailor workshops for the purpose of bringing fresh…

set in the 1960’s, it is important to do both a sociological and semiotic analysis of the show. Society and human interactions have changed dramatically over the past fifty years and while it is a scripted television show and not a documentary, the drama prides itself on paying close attention to details and keeping everything true to the time period. It would be interesting and informative to do an analysis…
