My Love
I met a man that I love so much in my whole lives. no one could compare to him my love Ernest Hemingway. When I got into the bar called Sloppy Joe's bar in Key West of Florida and then I fell in love of him. His eyes send out some light like the lightening in the dark that made my hurt stop moved. We talked about the comma and he told me he did not like to use comma in his article. This amazing that I just hear the first time in my lives and agreed with him either. He told me to dance with him and I said ok to him. We danced in different style. He danced in twist and I danced in mashed potato. I was happy as a people who ate one tones chocolate in his or her mouth.

Redo
Throughout American history, racism was a very big problem. White people had more power than the people who had different skin colors, such as black and yellow (all color are singular and no plural) etc. Most white people hated the people who had different skin colors and always treated them inhuman. The biggest reason was “In the United States this means that Americans are socialized first to identify a person’s race by skin color, and second by hair form, by facial features…” (Fluehr-Lobban 1). Thereby, this quote states that race was a very important thing for all Americans. When they meet people they would look at skin color first.

The biggest reason was “In the United States this means that Americans are socialized first to identify a person’s race by skin color, and second by hair form, by facial features such as shape of nose and lips, and eye form, along with other physical features like height” (Fluehr-Lobban 1). This was very unfair for the colors people.

SLEEP
INTRODUCTION
Our dream is to make our lives become more easier and more comfortable. In order to get to our goal, somebody like me is working very hard. Most of the time, we dose not have enough time to sleep. It was the very bad thing for us. Sleep is a habit that not just only need for our physical and it also need for our mental to support what we do. If we always only keep work hard for our jobs and school it will bring many problems for us. In the opposite way someone already have their good lives and they do not need to work very hard and then they will have more time to sleep. But oversleep will bring obesity to them. Why will too much sleep make people fat, but not enough sleep will make bring stressed and sick? This essay will show how enough sleep can help avoid illnesses and stress, but oversleep can cause obesity.
In the physical, we need to sleep to get energy. If we does not have enough sleep, our bodies will lost the immunity and then the illness will easy to get to our bodies. In order to avoid to illness we does not need to do or eat too much things. The important thing we need to do is to sleep. Sleep duration can help people avoid common cold. In the article “Sleep Habits and Susceptibility to the Common Cold” state “Poorer sleep efficiency and shorter sleep duration in the weeks preceding exposure to a rhinovirus were associated with lower resistance to illness.” (Cohen 2009:1) This is use “A total of 153 healthy men and women (age range, 21-55 years) volunteered to participate in the study. For 14 consecutive days, they reported their sleep duration and sleep efficiency (percentage of time in bed actually asleep) for the previous night and whether they felt rested. Average scores for each sleep variable were calculated over the 14-day baseline. Subsequently, participants were quarantined, administered nasal drops containing a rhinovirus, and monitored for the development of a clinical cold (infection in the presence of objective signs of illness) on the day before and for 5 days after exposure.” (Cohen 2009:1) In the article the result state “There was a graded association with average sleep duration: participants with less than 7 hours of sleep were 2.94 times (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.18-7.30) more likely to develop a cold than those with 8 hours or more of sleep. The association with sleep efficiency was also graded: participants with less than 92% efficiency were 5.50 times (95% CI, 2.08-14.48) more likely to develop a cold than those with 98% or more efficiency. These relationships could not be explained by differences in prechallenge virus-specific antibody titers, demographics, season of the year, body mass, socioeconomic status, psychological variables, or health practices. The percentage of days feeling rested was not associated with colds.” (Cohen 2009:1) In order to seek for more health, I eat some vitamins to avoid the illness, but I never know enough can help to avoid common cold. “One more reason for getting a good night’s sleep: sleeping an extra hour a night may help control coronary artery calcification, a major risk factor for heart disease.” (Bakalar 2008:1) This is “The scientists followed 495 healthy men and women, ages 35 to 47, for five years, measuring their sleep patterns with electronic monitoring devices and examining their arteries with CT scans.Over all, the group averaged 6.1 hours of sleep a night. But after controlling for age,blood pressure, cholesterol and other factors, those who averaged an extra hour’s sleep every night reduced their risk of calcification by about one-third.” (Bakalar 2008:1) Sleep also can lower a heart risk this is very good news for us. Even though enough sleep can avoid common cold, it is not means we have oversleep to get health.
Oversleep will cause obesity for us. In the article “Sleep duration, general and abdominal obesity, and weight change among the older adult population of Spain1,2,3,4 ” state “among older adults, sleeping 5 hours and sleeping 8or 9 hours was associate with obesity and with short-term weight gain in women.” (Lopez-Garcia 2008:1) This is like my mother, she does not need to work and she always stay home oversleep. She has 180 pounds now, it is very horrible when I see her fat body. She always said she is fat, but she never to stop oversleeps. This is very bad that my mother can oversleep, but I does not have enough sleep.
I am a college student and through my experiences I have the same feeling of stress as those students. In the article “Sleep Patterns of College Students at a public University” state “many students have sleep problems that may interfere with daily performance, such as driving and academics.” (Forguer 2008:1) In the article, it use the e-mail to get the surveys. The students are have the bad time of sleep “Most students reported later bedtimes and rise times on weekends than they did on weekdays. More than 33% of the students took longer than 30 minutes to fall asleep, and 43% woke more than once nightly. More than 33% reported being tired during the day. The authors found no differences between freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors, and graduate students for time to fall asleep, number of night wakings, or total time slept each night. ” (Forguer 2008:1) Most of the time I have too much homework to do I feel very unhappy and scare all the time. I will very afraid I can not finish my homework on time because that homework is very hard for me. I am a second language student, most of the time I do not understand how to do my homework thereby I need a lot of time to figure it out how to do. Those homework always make me do not have enough sleep. Sometimes, I have some exams for my different subjects, I need to review those subjects to get a good grades. In the college, most professors do not like to write notes on the board it need to take more focus on it, but when I go to the class, I can not focus on my subjects. The reason is I feel very tire, my left brain and right brain fought to each other all the time to my head exploded. It will me feel pain when I do not have enough sleep and those pain bring many stress. Most of the time I will wake it up late only in the weekend, “college students reported later bedtimes and wake times on weekends than on weekdays.(Forguer 2008:1) The reason why we only wake it up late on weekend is we do not need to go to school. Schools always make a time schedule for us to follow, we do not want to be late for our class, and we must wake it up early to go to the class. Most of the time, I have class very early in the morning I will drink something that has caffeine or melatonin. The reason is “caffeine or melatonin can reduced sleepiness.” (Beaumont 2003: 1) This was good for us could use the caffeine or melatonin to help us to be focus. Even though the caffeine or melatonin could help for us to degrade sleepiness, we still need to sleep more to avoid illness.
THE RECLUSE
In conclusion, enough sleep can help people avoid illness and stress, but oversleep will cause obesity. Therefore, we have to control our times to get a proper sleep to reach our physical need and mental need. It is very important that we have enough sleep.
