NOT A REAL OBITUARY-SCHOOL PROJECT

An Aspiring Doctor Dies in a Car Accident

          Staicy Matchanickal, an aspiring Doctor at Cornell University, died as a result of a car accident in Dobbs Ferry, New York. She was 27 years old.
          Matchanickal, a resident of Yonkers, was involved in a serious car accident during the big storm last Friday night. She was with her four friends, all of whom are in serious conditions. Staicy was able to spend at least twelve hours with her family before she passed away in St. John's Riverside Hospital Saturday morning.
          "She was a very hardworking and dedicated women," Steven Paul, a colleague of Staicy's at Lawrence Hospital where she did her residency, said. "Staicy was always a very warm person who cared about her patients very much. She never left the patient's room without leaving a smile on their faces."
          A memorial service is planned for her on Friday at 5 p.m. at St. John the Baptist Church in Yonkers. There will be a mass afterwards also in Malayalam.
          Matchanickal was born in Yonkers, New York. She attended School 17 and Museum Middle School as her secondary schools. She graduated Maria Regina High School in June 2011 and entered Cornell University's pre-med program. She is supposed to graduate with a PhD in May 2021.
          Staicy married her long time boyfriend Jason George, a doctor, in the summer of 2019.
          Staicy was an active member of her Knanaya Catholic Church in Rockland. She taught religious education and was a real leader. In school Staicy was on the soccer team and was active in numerous clubs and organizations.
          "I always thought she would be the next Marta of the U.S. and set up her own soccer school and go all over the world teaching under privileged kids how to play the sport." Geena Patel, Staicy's high school friend, said.
          But Staicy's real passion was to help people. She always knew that she wanted to be a doctor ever since she started volunteering at Lawrence Hospital in high school. She loved being there for the patients when their families weren't around to witness their pain. Staicy enjoyed seeing them recover and go home peacefully. Most importantly she loved to make people smile.
          Matchanickal is survived by her daughter, Jessica; her two sisters, Sheena and Syna; her parents and her husband.
          Staicy's family requests that flowers be sent to St. Peter's Memorial Hall and that contributions be sent to the Matchanickal foundation.

         

Advertisement Dissection and Analysis

The advertisement says “Be bad. Snack well." According to the advertisement, the saying means that if one eats the snack advertised, then one is able to have the fit and fabulous body to have a fun and bad time as shown in the picture. The advertisement shows a girl standing on top of the guy’s back. The people in the image look like they are fun being on top of each other. The picture suggests that the couple is very intimate and is happy and having a lot of fun. The girl is wearing a short shirt and underwear, whereas the guy seems to be either wearing just underwear or nothing at all. The people in the advertisement seems like they had just met the night before and were attracted by each other and so decided to go to one of their apartments and get together.
The advertisement has a bed, pillows, white sheets, and a snack box. The objects are associated with the present. I can recognize a city's skyline through the windowsill, which suggests that they are in an apartment room. The advertisement is selling Snackwell's White Fudge Drizzled Caramel Popcorn at 130 calories. What is most interesting about this advertisement is that when the ad is supposed to be selling a healthy snack, the ad seems like it can be promoting birth control items or underclothing.

English Assignment

High School is when one must experience life outside of home. Experiences such as going to house parties, taking a train out to the city, watching a movie with friends almost every weekend, meeting up with guys very late in the night, and the list goes on. Having such experiences was not an easy task to take on since I have many responsibilities that come with being the eldest child. But one weekend in Philadelphia made me feel like all the other seniors in high school.

My older cousin took three other people and me to Philadelphia saying that we would just go to attend Phillyfest, which was basically an Indian dance competition.   I was very much interested since I studied dance for thirteen years. I was totally unaware of the fact that my cousin and the other three kids had an entirely different agenda and that I would be fine with being a part of it. Within the first night itself of reaching Philli, all five of us and three other college kids had gone to a Fraternity party and had tried to get into a club. I had the time of my life! I went on an entirely new and exciting adventure where no parents were around to tell me what time to get home at. We had as much fun as we could and came back as late as we could. I definitely took my time that weekend to my full advantage. The second night was even better. We all went to a hotel room to party with other kids from our church. But the night got a little crazy when a few of the kids got wasted. The receptionist at the hotel threatened to call the police if we didn’t leave immediately. I definitely didn’t want my night to get spoiled so I gave her $60 bucks so she would not call the police. To my surprise she refused and said that she will put me in jail if my friends and I did not leave immediately. I was so embarrassed. We left before the receptionist could continue to threaten us even more. I soon realized that I took my freedom to a whole new level where for a moment I seemed to have forgotten my roots.
