Pennies should not be made anymore. The penny costs more to make then they are worth. It’s not worth carrying around, it’s to bulky. The penny could round prices down.

Christopher McCandless age twenty-two embarks on his greatest journey that will forever make him famous in his journey and death. There is the argument that Christopher was psychotic for going out into the Alaskan Wild so unprepared without any proper tools or materials. Also, Christopher should have told his parents where he was going so they would’ve known where to look for their son so he could be safer and might of had the chance to survive. What you have to understand that, Chris McCandless approached it the way he wanted to approached it because some say he is narcissistic and only does what he wants and it's true, he is but that isn't negative it's what he wants, and shouldn't we all be able to feel free to do whatever we wish. As the reader, you can pick the side you agree with and have your opinion on Chris. Christopher McCandless wasn't crazy or psychotic, but instead a true example of a person who did whatever he wanted to be filled with joy.

It is clear Ryerson University needs a better way to make education accessible to all their students. With the constant delays of the transit systems we have, and the rising costs to commute, students are skipping lectures. The best solution to this problem is starting VR enabled lectures. This will keep expenses low for students and save time that students struggle to find. VR enabled lectures are far superior to the alternative, which is living on campus. By living on campus expenses increase and you’re not in the comfort of your home. Also it is not guaranteed you will get approved to live on residence because of the limited beds available. Being a computer science students we already have the necessary knowledge to make this possible, as

The nation’s bigot community has been in hysterics over the past few months after Target announced that it would allow transgender people to use the restroom and fitting rooms that correspond with their gender identities.

Across the nation and world assisted suicide is an issue that has been gaining attention for several years. With famous cases such as Jack Kevorkian it has become a household term and everyone has an opinion. There are strong cases on both sides, but the bottom line is while it may sound good for the present, it is not for the future. Assisted Suicide should not be legalized in Alabama as the negative outcomes far exceed the positive outcomes in the areas of impact on society, politics and medical education

Many schools don't have enough funds to support themselves; therefore they should use their money to fix buildings and to buy new textbooks. According to Amanda Ripley’s article, “It's Time To Scale Back,” maintaining a grass field can cost more than 20,000 dollars (11). Premont Independent School was threaten to close because of money issues so they had to stop the sports teams and by doing this they were able to save 150,000 dollars (10). Schools should stop using their money on sports and start using it on the school. In conclusion schools should save their money for more important things. Although saving money is important, allowing kids to study for a longer time is also crucial for their education. Ripley stated in her article that by

Although the Misfit is a "murderer", he also has morals. The Misfit's morals can easily be described with two words "bitter and sweet". The sweet part of his morals is on page 205. "Good Afternoon", he said, "I see you all had a little spill"…Baily turned and said something to the Grandmother… The Misfit face reddened. "Lady don't you get upset. Sometimes a man says things he don't mean, don't reckon he meant to talk to you that away." the misfit said…. "You wouldn't shoot a lady, would you?" the grandmother said " I would hate to have to he said". The bitterness part of the misfit's morals is shown on the last page. "The Misfit sprang back as if a snake had bitten him and shot her three times in the chest" (208). In this particular quote the misfit was

When looking for a new place to live, choosing the right location is key. What attractions are nearby? Will there be a variety of recreational activities? Have you considered renting in the Village of Carol Stream? If not, you should since they are a growing town with a great deal to offer!

Over the course of history, many things have changed, but in recent times, in America one thing sticks out. Our countries American identity has been transformed over the past century. When our country was involved in wars and conflict, the citizens of this nation had a sort of, unity. A bond pulling them together, a common enemy. Recently, even with terrorist attacks threatening our country, millennials like myself fail to see the threat and danger of the world. We fight amongst ourselves.

With his violent killing, the Misfit seems an unlikely source to look to for guidance, but he demonstrates a deep conviction that the other characters lack. Unlike the grandmother, who simply assumes that she is morally superior to everyone else, the Misfit seriously questions the meaning of life and his role in it. He has carefully considered his actions in life and examined his experiences to find lessons within them. He has even renamed himself because of one of these lessons, believing that his punishment didn’t fit the crime. He reveals a self-awareness that the grandmother lacked and questions it. He knows he is not a great man, but he also knows that there are others worse than him. He forms rudimentary philosophies, such as “no pleasure but meanness” and “the crime don’t matter.” The Misfit’s philosophies may be morally corrupt, but they are consistent. Unlike the grandmother, whose moral code falls apart the moment it’s challenged, the Misfit has a steady view of life and acts according to what he believes is right. His beliefs and actions

I find it foolish that Ryan Turk’s school is spending time and money to convict him of stealing a carton of milk that is worth 65 cents. Surely Virginia, where Turk goes to school, has more important matters to deal with than giving a 15 year-old criminal charges. Turk’s lawyer states, “This officer treats kids like they’re criminals, and guess what happens – they’re going to become criminals.” I agree with Turk’s lawyer, adults should treats children the way they want the child to act, if they treat a teenager like a child, the teenager will act like a child, and vice-versa. Overall, I find Ryan Turk’s criminal charges to be extremely foolish for allegedly stealing a 65 cent milk carton, especially when it comes to a child that qualifies

I see that the argument The Misfit was giving through the story was pretty valid there are people treated exactly like The Misfit and can’t really come to terms as to why they were treated unfairly “I call myself The Misfit," he said, "because I can't make what all I done wrong fit what all I gone through in punishment” (432). The Misfit is pretty much scarred with those memories and regardless of what words that are said to him those memoires are not something you can get over real quickly. Theologically The Misfit premises from there’s “No pleasure but meanness” during his time in jail. I also think Flannery O’Connor had some similarities with The Misfit as it pertains to sharing what the meaning of life is in their eyes “This means that for me the meaning of life is centered in our Redemption by Christ and what I see in the world I see in its relation to that”

It is often assumed that failure is a deterrent to achievement. Rather, failure should be seen as a motivator for a person to keep trying until the objective or aim of a particular mission is fulfilled.

We live in a technology driven world, almost everyone own a smartphone today. Uber and its competitors are allowing us to use an app on our smartphone to call for a cab. When a rider request a ride, the app gives you an estimated time of when the driver will arrive. It also calculates the fare and take the money out of your account.
