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.

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.

Since America was a thriving country Britian was a little bit mad. Overtime British started doing things to prevent America from becoming all powerful. A reason why British started impressment, which was part of creating the War of 1812, had to do with the Constitution. Without the War of 1812 the National Anthem might have never been made, because of the Battle of Fort McHenry, which was in the War of 1812.

A potential subject for an essay reflecting the second prompt would be a place of importance such as Munds Park Arizona.

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

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. The hormones in the body begin to act up and teenagers want to experience other things on their own. 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

Poverty is clearly represented throughout the play and is the stem of most problems for the Youngers. Although the family is proud, they truly struggle economically and often find themselves barely getting by. Most of the family is made up of hardworking laborers, but at the end of the day they find themselves with shortcomings. In addition to that, coming from a poor black family means less opportunity, in comparison to a rich or poor white family. "This morning, I was lookin’ in the mirror and thinking about it...I’m thirty-five years old; I been married eleven years and I got a boy who sleeps in the living room and all I got to give him is stories about how rich white people live" (Hansberry, 945). This quote said by Walter to Ruth shows the awareness he has about how far from his goal of getting his family out of poverty is, meanwhile he sees white people living with leisure. Furthermore, an African American family during the time period of the play, the 1960's, would often be charged up to twice the amount that a white family would be charged, for the same exact home but in an area with other African Americans. "Them houses they put up for colored in them areas way out all seem to cost twice as much as other houses. I did the best I could" (Hansberry 980). Mama tries her best to find the best home for her family, even though it is in a white community that look down upon the Youngers race an even

Quentin, the oldest Compson child, spends his life preoccupied about advice Mr. Compson gave to him. Mr. Compson has a greater impact on Quentin then any of the other children, and it is in Quentin’s section that we have a better understanding of Mr. Compson then in any other section. Mr. Comspon’s advice and impressions on Quentin followed him during his childhood and to college at Harvard. Mr. Compson’s alcohol addiction made him unfit to be a good father and interrupted the children’s development. In families with an alcoholic parent, a reoccurring pattern is seen in the birth order.

Still in this days, Dante’s magnificent epic poem from the middle Ages seems to not be forgotten. Thanks to many translations written by scholars, the poem continues to be alive in almost every country and language. These adaptations from different tongues, however, are very demanding undertakings reserved to devoted experts such as Clive James. My essay analyzes Sean O’Brien’s usage of Aristotle’s appeals to rhetoric, specifically ethos, pathos, logos and kairos, to show how the author persuades the reader that Clive James is capable of the ambitious task of reproducing The Divine Comedy in an English translation. The author claims that, although, “The Divine Comedy, translated by Clive James” is not perfect, it is an efficient and adequate translation of

The Youngers live in a small, rundown apartment in Chicago. Travis, who is Walter’s son, sleeps on a couch, and other family members have to share rooms in the apartment. Walter, who is Mama’s son, grew up in the apartment. In the play, Mama wants to use the money the family inherited to buy a new house in a white neighborhood. She thinks this neighborhood would be better for her family, and her family would be able to live in their own house and not an apartment. As Mama told Walter, “ Walter Lee- it makes a difference in a man when he can walk on floors that belong to him” (II.I.92). Mama is most interested in using the money the family inherits for the benefit of the family as opposed to her personal needs.
