thesis statement 2//

Throughout the entirety of the novel, it demonstrates the vast majority of the stereotypes given to men and women. It exhibited the very cliche stereotype towards men and women regarding their roles in the society.  It profoundly influenced the whole Igbo culture and how they treated women. It contributed a lot with regards to the build up of the conflicts and basically the plot of the whole novel.

Ola! My name is Nicole but you can call me..... anytime. *wink* Nahh just kidding, you can call me Ikah. I've been existing in this world for 17 years now (but i literally look like a 10 year old) and I was born in Las Islas Filipinas also known as the Philippines. I loooove eating and yes, I know it's not that obvious but I really do. I play the ukulele, guitar and a tiny bit of drums (I just started). Sportswise, I play badminton, volleyball, golf and now I'm trying to learn how to play basketball although I'm pretty sure it'll be hard for me cause DUH i'm like 5'3. I also do boxing and muay thai so I'm preeeeetty vicious and deadly lol jk. So basically I've lived in the Philippines since I was born and I just moved here in Abu Dhabi last August 1st to study and be with my parents. I'll probably stay here in Abu Dhabi for 2 years (If I do well in school) just to finish Grades 11 and 12 then move to the United States to go to a university and ...

my name//

Hello there earthling. My name is Nicole and I’m guessing you already know that because my name’s like everywhere in my blog. Ironically, I’m not used to people calling me by that name because back in the Philippines I had a lot of nicknames. The people from my previous school calls me Ikah, Iks, Chinita or Niknik. While my parents and relatives call me Nika which is like my OG nickname. My first and second name is Nicole Anne. I never really thought that there would be a meaning behind my name because I thought that my name’s very simple which is why I actually used to hate my name. So apparently, according to my mom, Nicole is a Greek baby name which means “People’s victory” while Anne is an English name which means “God’s grace”. My parents chose those names because according to them, since I was their first child it felt like they won in life when they had me and that they consider me as a gift from God.

education//

I think David Foster Wallace’s theory on education basically says that education doesn’t only include academic knowledge but also having knowledge of reality and of the things around you.  One of the many things he said which struck me the most was “The really important kind of freedom involves attention and awareness and discipline, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them over and over in myriad petty, unsexy ways every day. That is real freedom. That is being educated, and understanding how to think. The alternative is unconsciousness, the default setting, the rat race, the constant gnawing sense of having had, and lost, some infinite thing.” His whole speech talks about how we have the freedom to think and do what we want and with this freedom, we tend to just be in our own universe and we tend to just think about ourselves unconsciously. However, it shouldn’t be like that. This quote is saying that the best kind of freedom is having to think...
