Young men who are sent to a war learn the reality in a very harsh and brutal way. Both the stories, ‘The Red Convertible’ and ‘The Things They Carried’ portray the life of a young soldier and how he psychologically gets affected from all the things he had seen in the war. Tim O’Brien’s ‘The Things They Carried,’ is more specific on the experiences of a soldier during a war where as Karen Louise Erdrich focuses more on describing the post war traumatic stress in her short story ‘The Red Convertible’. One thing similar in both the narrations is the Vietnam War and its consequences on the soldiers. From the background of both the authors it’s easy to conclude that Tim O’Brien being a war veteran emphasizes more on the

If I had to go to one of the main colleges in Iowa, I would choose to go to the University of Iowa because I have always wanted to become a doctor, and this college has a great program for a medical degree.

There are certain spots around campus that scream Iowa State like Hilton Coliseum, Jack Trice Stadium, and you can't forget the Memorial Union with the view of the Campineal right past the fountain. Those places are a sight to see and one of the perks of the campus, but that is not the spot I enjoy most about the Iowa State campus. The place that is really special to me personally are the Larch dorms. The fifth floor in particular. It is the place where I spend most of my time, and yes that is because it is where I am living, but I really enjoy living here. The dorm environment is great. You meet tons of new people and on the fifth floor of Larch, everyone's door is always open. Even if you are not in the dorms, there are still multiple opportunities to meet new people. We are about two weeks into the

Some people think that if they could only change one aspect of their lives, it would be perfect. They do not realize that anything that is changed could come with unintended consequences. “The Monkey’s Paw” by W.W. Jacobs and “The Third Wish” by Joan Aiken both illustrate this theme. They demonstrate this by granting the main character three wishes, but with each wish that is granted, brings undesirable consequences. The main idea of this essay is to compare and contrast “The Monkey’s Paw” and “The Third Wish.” Although the “The Monkey’s Paw” and “The Third Wish” are both fantasies and have similar themes, they have different main characters, wishes, and resolutions.

When it came to shopping, I used to go to two stores, Wal-Mart and Target. Now I just go to Wal-Mart. Between the two of these stores, Wal-Mart is definitely the best, not to mention the most beneficial. They have everything you need and more.

The needs for the decrease in out-of-state tuition at the university can be seen in several areas, such as the community diversity, availability of education to all, and the income based discrimination of students. Iowa State university does not have a very diverse community. During the 1998-1999 school year 78.8 percent of the total population at Iowa State University was of Iowa residency. Many of the Iowa residents are from the surrounding area of Ames, IA, where Iowa State is located. Only 17.6 percent were non-residents but United States citizens and the remaining 9.6 percent were international students (ISU Fact book). The percentages were even lower in the incoming freshman class of that year (see fig

The system has about 13-15 kids in each class.” This allows about 400 kids in the whole school” says Bruce O Baker.This allows the students to be singled out if they are struggling. The teacher can also focus on each individual student for a longer amount of time because the teacher won't have 30 kids talking all at once and not being able to get to everyone that has questions. This will allow the students to understand the material. The teachers can also teach better, in theory, because there won't be as many distractions in the

The first school I chose was the high school for the Walker-Hackensack-Akeley students. These three towns are about four hours north of the twin cities in north central Minnesota, and all have populations under 1,000. Surrounded by many of Minnesota 's nice lakes such as Leech Lake, these cities tend to be busy cabin towns. The high school in 2014 had about 42 graduates and had a result of 67% of their students going to college. In exact numbers, 7 went to a public four year, 9 to a public two year, 1 went to a private 2 year, 4 to a private 4 year, leaving the last 7 students traveling out of Minnesota. The student break down can be seen below, blue is public 4 years, green is public two years, yellow is private two years, red is private four years, and purple represents out of state colleges.
