Gold Mining By Saudi Arabia

John Wetherton is a family man who is in search of gold in the mountains. He is searching for this gold because he wants his son to have a better lifestyle. As he would put it as “ For Tommy to have an education”, so he can have a better lifestyle and get a better career. He promised himself that when he finds the gold that he will not get crazy for it.

He even finds himself wanting to laugh at his situation. After this, he goes into a reminiscing and even happy tone about what he thought life in Canada would be like. He states he used to dream of Canada and of the opportunities of a new life outside of his homeland. He recalled how he planned to get married, have children, begin a family with a house, maybe even a cottage on the edge of the city. Middle class was his goal, he’d provide for his family, a stark difference from the “hard-to-mouth” life he was used to. But then, all too quickly, this daydream is ripped from him as his feet pressed to asphalt, continuing his never ending search for a job. With each step, he finds his sense of revulsion increasing, and thus begins his doubts. He wonders if he was really happy on the island, happier than he even realized before reaching Canada. Again, reality tears him from his regrets and hopes and he knew he needed to find a job or he will starve. His tone quickly takes a sharp turn into humorous denial, perhaps another past thought of what he thought life in Canada would be like; “No one starved in Canada; that only happened in such places as India or Africa. But definitely not Canada!” For a third time, the reality of his starving, growling stomach brings him back to his current, unfortunate situation, in which he becomes slightly panicked at the prospect of actually not getting a meal that night. He suddenly feels out of place,

Even though Dad had been fired from the barite mine, we were able to continue living in the depot by paying rent to the mining company, since not a lot of other families were vying for the place.We now had food in the fridge, at least until it got toward to end of the month, when we usually ran out of money because neither Mom nor Dad ever mastered the art of budgeting” (Walls 76).

The thought of expanding the U.S. more made the citizens somewhat nervous. Nervous of what lays ahead, the dangers, unknown animals, different weather, and some of the unfriendly natives who roamed the west. Excited, to know that there is an opportunity of a new start in life, and the rumored gold. The point of my paper is to give you an idea of what it was like for these brave people to migrate west. What they went through, what they found, and if they accomplished.

From young, limitless ambitions to experienced realisation of what is realistically possible to achieve. This is shown in the story through using minor sentences, briefly mentioning the narrator’s rites of passage, to show their insignificance compared to upcoming events later in his life, and displaying the impulsive, impatient thinking of a young teenager in the start of the story. By the end of the story, the narrator has a wise, experienced voice, understanding of the effects of impatience on achieving his goals, and displaying to the reader how thoughts change as individuals

Even as a young boy, he becomes worried about providing for his own family because his parents cannot. He becomes so concerned with supplying for his own family, he begins to develop ideals of becoming a “man” and getting a job while

The Canadian “Alberta Oil Sands” are the third largest oil reserves in the world and has an investment value of over $27 billion. Over 100,000 employment opportunities are generated as a result of the oil sands and it leads to a production rate of approximately 2.3 million barrels per day. One of the largest controversies in Canadian politics is whether to oust the oil sands production or expand it. However between the two articles, “Why Canada needs to develop the oil sands” by Konrad Yakabuski and the article “Stop oilsands expansion, Canadian and U.S. researchers say” by CBC News, the debate is whether to expand the reserves or remain the same. After analysing the two articles it is evident that the author Konrad Yakabuski wrote his article

As Mahatma Gandhi once said, “There is sufficiency in the world for every man’s need, but not for every man’s greed.” Greed plays a huge part in A Summer Life by Gary Soto, which describes his childhood growing up in the city of Fresno by many vignettes. In the vignette “The Pie” Gary succumbs to his desire for apple pie and steals it, but faces self-torment for doing such a deed. Throughout this vignette, Gary Soto uses biblical allusion, and a unique point of view to show that everyone has greed and acquisitiveness inside them, but those who control it become successful in life.

Chris McCandless, a straight-A student out of Emory University, was a brilliant and eccentric young man bound for law school. Twenty-four thousand dollars intended for tuition and a supportive, upperclass family seemingly predisposed his future. However, much to his family and friends’ surprise, Chris chose a radically different path. The path he chose not only defined his own existence, but the lives of all his future acquaintances. New faces, new experiences, and new triumphs were in store for Chris McCandless in his escapade throughout the United States.

Have you ever thought about what is would be like to be the person that always has the struggle of having no money, being the person that is constantly having an economic disadvantage over everyone else?

Although Arnold’s life seems as a ticking time bomb, he is able to overcome poverty with the help of his friends that are always available, by remaining optimistic in stressful situations, and moving to a new school with more ‘hope’ for himself. Overcoming such a huge obstacle in society is rough and it all started with Arnold leaving the Reservation and moving to the upper class school, Reardan. Although, leaving the Rez was one of the hardest things for Arnold to do, it was a huge sacrifice but for the better of the good.

"Maybe if we all worked we'd earn a good amount." My heart was beating fast. "What does he mean by 'if we all worked together'? Does he - no he wouldn't." Thoughts raced through my mind. My heart was beating rapidly. Then, he said it: "Maybe if you and Armani can work as well, we will be able to pay off our debts." My heart dropped. "Me? Work?" I thought. "I don't want them to hurt me like they hurt Father. I don't want them to hit me. What if I mess up? What will I do? They would hurt Mother too." I curled up into a ball and wept. I had fallen fast asleep in a matter of minutes. The next morning, Mother woke me up early in the morning. "Armani, wake up," I had heard her say. She caressed my face. "Armani?" I knew what she was going to say. I didn't want to wake up. But, there was a change in her voice. It sounded like she had . . . cried. I bolted up. Mother's eyes were red from all the crying she had done.

Germinal, based on the landmark novel by Emile Zola, presents a startlingly authentic and powerful look into the tumultuous, tragedy-riddled lives of 19th century French coal miners. Forced to endure hellish conditions, risk death and dismemberment, and work from before dawn until after dusk, these men and women had only one alternative to mining: starvation. Germinal is not a happy story, but it is impossible not to sense the realism that pervades the project.

Joe Raymond is a sales manager at Granite, Rock and Sand, and is in jeopardy of losing his job if he does not improve his unit’s sales performance. Joe cannot afford to lose his job because he will not be able to pay his mortgage on his new home. He began to interview candidates for a vacant position in this unit, where he is approached by a candidate, Jessica Morris, a former employee of Granite’s competitor, Silt, Sand and Such. She offered Joe inside information on Silt, Sand and Such that would help solve his problems on the condition that she is hired for the job. Joe is now faced with an ethical dilemma -- accepting her offer to save his job and home, or refuse it and hire someone more suited for the vacant sales position.
