Building The Gateway Arch Research Paper

This had been their 17th year working together. They had both been working a 13 hour work day and they were both very tired. It had been a very stressful day for them at work. In the middle of the day, a woman walked through the wet concrete that they had just freshly poured. Halfway through her journey, her shuffling feet had begun to sink into the concrete. The lady had a hunched over back and was wearing old fashioned clothing and glasses. As David and Earl look back, they see that the elderly lady was stuck and realized she would need help getting out. They decide whoever loses a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, will have to help save the lady. After losing, David attempts to save the lady. David had just bought new work boots earlier that week at Foot Locker and did not want to get them dirty. They were a size 10, oil resistant, leather work boot. He tries to think of a way to get the lady out without making his new boots messy but concludes that there is no other way. Now David has no other choice other than to walk out and free the lady from the concrete. As he gets near the lady, she starts screaming for help as if she didn’t realize that he was going to rescue her. As he looks up, David notices that the elderly woman was much older than what he had originally thought. Her eyes had grown dull over her years of living. The skin of the lady was very fragile,dry, and wrinkly. The wrinkles were as if it told the age of the woman as if it were the rings around the trunk of an ancient oak tree. Her teeth and hair had both become discolored. After he pulls her out and brings her to safety, she hobbles over, as if she were a penguin, and thanks him for what he

Despite the effort of the immigrants, the wall will make it more difficult for them to cross into the United States. Priscilla Alvarez, an assistant editor for The Atlantic, explains, "For example, the San Diego sector, where the prototypes have been built, [apprehension numbers] dropped from 560,000 in 1992 to 68,000 in 2010. Notably, however, the number of border apprehensions is also on the decline" (4). This proves that the wall will, in fact, stop immigrants from crossing over into the United States. Regardless, immigrants will still find a way into the country. When a double layer fencing was enforced near San Diego, "The apprehensions shifted dramatically away from the areas guarded by western stations at Imperial Beach and Chula Vista,

Donald Trump wants to build a wall. Donald Trump wants to build a wall for a few, invalid reasons, and yet he is the frontrunner in the race for Republican presidential nominee. Everyday, more people begin to support the idea of building a border between the United States and Mexico. Supporters offer a few reasons - safety, the economy, legality - but few supporters look deeper than Trump’s explanations. Supporters of a wall are surprisingly ignorant about their own causes, as well as the opposition to their cause. Becoming educated about the topic of a border wall would show the supporters that a border wall would actually be ineffective and unnecessary because the wall would fail to stop over half the illegal immigrants that enter the United States, the concept of a border wall is against what the United States stands for, and the border wall would be a costly venture that

"I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great great wall on our southern border and I’ll have Mexico pay for that wall" ~ Donald J. Trump. Many remember Trump’s campaign promise of building a wall on the US-Mexico border, but what Mr. Trump neglected to notice was the many aspects that come into play when making such a dramatic decision. The idea behind the wall is to keep out illegal immigrants and cut down the amount of crime in the United States. It is easy to see why President Trump thinks the wall will benefit the country. Most of the drugs that come into the US are from Mexico, and the towns surrounding the border are some of the most crime-ridden in both the United States and Mexico. However, the wall impacts more than just the lives of

It was the early 1940’s. World War II was happening. The war effort needed more power and more aluminum. The Tennessee Valley Authority was building a dam. They needed many workers to complete the dam that would end up being 480 feet tall. John was from Tennessee and needed work. He was 50 years old, but he was still a hard worker. John was a widower and his wife had died in a car accident. Sadly, his only son died in the accident too. He wanted to get out of Tennessee. He saw a poster that said they needed people to work on the dam in North Carolina. John loves cold weather and being out doors, so working on the dam would be perfect. He needed a change, so he quit his job at the sawmill, packed up his few belongings, including his picture of his wife and son. He got in his van and headed to North Carolina, to apply to work on the dam.

Despite his pain and misery Dave manages to change his fate and turn his life around. He does this by having a positive attitude, faith and a strong willpower to survive. As the
