Allenon Argumentative Essay

What if your best friend went on an adventure. They had everything they had ever wanted. They didn't tell you or their family where they were going or how long they would be gone. They just picked up and left. Would you respect their decision to not tell anyone their plans? Would you think that this was a good idea of theirs, or would you think that this was a stupid decision on their part? Well this is what Christopher McCandless did. In 1968 McCandless was born. He was born to a good, wealthy, and happy family. He had everything any child could ever wish for. He was smart, athletic, and had a good education. In June 1990 he completed collage. In July of 1990 Christopher McCandless left his family and almost all belongings, and didn't tell anyone where he was going, or how long he'd be gone. Three years later McCandless was found dead in a blue bus located in Alaska. He had died of starvation. He went off and, ¨lived his life.¨ McCandless went out and lived in the wild. While Christopher McCandless died peacefully, the question has arose on whether McCandless was a noble adventurer or an arrogant fool.

1. For my television commercial I used the popular Sham wow infomercial. According to the site the Sham Wow is “a washcloth, which will dry, and polish any surface. They are like a towel, chamois, and sponge all in one--except they're extremely absorbent and can be used over and over.” However, a segment on ABC’s Good Morning America gives Sham Wow a “C” and says it’s a normal towel so why have so many Americans fallen for the gimmick?

When you see yourself living out your dream, the thought of what you're most passionate about pulls you in. Passions in one's life change based on what had affected that person. Dreams are defined to change. However, the benefits of these thoughts is that they belong to you and only you. Not one person's opinions matter but your own. Chris McCandless simply was living out his own ideal life, the way he wanted; not to the idea of his parents, his friends or of society. McCandless wanted to escape society and civilization which he felt was tying him down, while also trying to discover himself. McCandless is not by any means a wacko. He was simply defying society and its ideal expectation it holds upon us as a whole.

Imagine a woman with powdery, permed hair who smells of hairspray and flowery potpourri. She is an 87-year-old mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who has found a new home at a retirement facility after her husband of 56 years passed away, but now that home is being taken from her. In its 48 years, Oaknoll, a retirement home and care facility located in Iowa City, has been a home for hundreds of residents. As a nonprofit organization, Oaknoll has little to offer the city financially. It does not pay property taxes and sits upon prime property along bustling Benton and Oakcrest streets. With the closing of Oaknoll, Iowa City plans to sell the land, potentially valued at over three million dollars, to private owners for the construction

Referring to the purification aspect, Equiano mentioned the idea of decency in the African tradition. Therefore, “the constant washings and purification were the order of the day.” However, regardless of their constant practices of being extremely clean and pure, Africans and African-Americans have always been portrayed as the dirty and the infected race. Such an action is seen as a concept produced by dominating powers in order to accelerate the “Cultural Genocide” and identity diminishing. Equally effective, by spreading around and emphasizing the aspect of Yoruba traditions as not being considered a positive impact “cult”, the ATRs are viewed as suspicious practices that require certain bloody sacrifices and extreme rituals. Most of the

After spurning the Erie Otters of the OHL and Frolunda at the beginning of the season, Karlsson opted to try his hand with Skelleftea. There, he performed fine at the junior level as a point-producer, but couldn’t take advantage of minimal icetime in the SHL and opted instead to gain his release and re-join Frolunda, the organization that he grew up in. Karlsson is known as an agitator, and now that he is settled back home, he will be a name to keep an eye on as he

Sexual thoughts pop in and out of most people’s mind, but especially teenagers, and there’s nothing they can do about it. It is normal for teenage boys and girls to experience this, more than ever when they are hitting puberty.

Males begin to grow pubic and facial hairs, and their voice starts to deepen, while girls’ breasts begin to develop and their body begins to take shape. After hitting puberty, teenagers are now at the point where they want to experience things. ‚Don’t go out there and get pregnant‛ a mother

The wind was whipping fiercely when Nikki Maratea, her younger sister Alex, and Nikki's 3-week-old son Derrian went to catch an elevated train in Philadelphia near the home they shared with their mother. Thinking she had put the brake on the stroller, Nikki, 20, let it go to argue with the cashier, who insisted she pay the $2 fare before moving to the platform. A moment later Alex, then 10, looked toward her nephew—but he and his stroller were gone. "I said, 'Nikki,'" Alex recalls, "'where's the baby?'" They could hear Derrian's cries, but saw no sign of him. "Then," Alex says, "I looked down." What she saw was a nightmare: The stroller, blown by the wind, was lying on the tracks, about four
