Pet peeves
Some of my pet peeves are smoking, people going into my room, people saying the phrase “yah know” (when I don’t), when people try to act all cool, when people take my sarcasm seriously, another is when I pick up a rock and skip it I all- of-a- sudden get a feeling to grap another and maybe the next one that stands out. The smoking part comes from the fact that the bathrooms in this school always smell like crap because of all the stuff that people do in them. It’s almost enough to make you choke, recently I was walking into the bathroom and a guy gets out of the stall, and walks up to me and blows smoke straight into my face. They smoke all sorts of crap in there, from cigarettes, probably marijuana, and crack. The next one is about my dislike of people going into my room, I prefer my privacy, I like to keep to myself and I don’t like it when people mess with my stuff. I prefer to do things my way and that’s how it is. I don’t appreciate it when someone comes into my room and puts something up, because then I don’t know where it is and I get mad. Everyone has a certain way they do something, and I don’t appreciate it when people try and mess up mine. The next is when people say “yah know” like five times in maybe two sentences. My step-mom does this all the time and I’ve given up trying to correct her because she tells me to shut up and mind my own business; I don’t really know why this is a peeve for me but it is. Next is my peeve about people trying to act all “cool.” They go walking down the hallway with their pants sagging just like their IQ has and add a little foot movement and bam! They are all-of- a- sudden think they’re so cool. It just really ticks me off because obviously they aren’t, I mean the least they could do might be to not show their boxers, and I don’t really think anyone wants to see them. Next is about my sarcasm, I love being sarcastic, it’s one of the things that I do best. What I don’t like about it is that there are

    I really enjoyed reading your discussion post. I always find it interesting when reading another's classmates discussion post. When it comes to interacting with you customer and keeping them happy, you nailed it. You said, "we are constantly being rewarded for providing excellent service, in the end what is more important than job security." Without job security, you and your family could be jobless. One of my biggest pet peeves, is going into some department store or restaurant and encountering a employee who is has a additude and is borderline disrespectful. Why should I spend my hard earn money at said place of business, when, me the customer who basically pays you bills, is feeling somewhat slighted?…

    The Taming of the Shrew was a Shakespearean play that was written between 1590 and 1592. Set in both Padua, and Verona, Italy, the play details the “love” story of Petruchio and Katherina. Shakespeare had written the play to be a comedic piece. In 1967 Franco Zeffirelli transformed The Taming of the Shrew into a movie. Maintaining the original story line and setting, Zeffirelli worked the relationship of actors Richard Burton, Petruchio, and Elizabeth Taylor, Katherina into the comedic movie. In 1999 the Shakespearean play was transformed again and directed by Gil Junger. Junger’s movie, 10 Things I Hate About You, is a modernized take on the original play. Changing Katherina to Kat, and Petruchio to Patrick, Junger immersed the movie in the popular culture ideals of the 1990’s. Interpretations of the texts differ from person to person, this opinions will be based upon an individuals beliefs and values. I interpreted both texts to be misogynistic, although The Taming of the Shrew is more so than 10 Things I Hate About…

Roughly 10 million total illegal immigrants from Mexico alone are living in the United States.
