Sup, I’m Jacob Pool. It is the season of hunting again. I love the magnificent creatures, who roam the earth like equanimity enthralled alpacas; I’m mesmeric to travel all over the world to find and eliminate them. I hit it off with my protégé, but he just sits in the car while I impinge these guys with my baby, Savage 110 Trophy Hunter XP Package, .300 Win Mag. But I call her Megan for short, yep that’s my baby. During our hike up through the Alps Mountains, we saw a myriad of chamois just the other day. Man! When we first laid my eyes on them, we knew what was about to do down. There are a lot of people who are willing to wait and buy some chamois, for the either their horns, as an accessory, or just their delicious meat up in Argentina,
Since this video, it has been more common to see cases like the Jacob Ind story of murdering his mother and step father. I believe that the verdict at the time was the right one, as these cases were not as common. "A life for a life" is a phrase heard in the past, Jacob, with the help of his friend, murdered his family and openly accepted that he did, therefore he got the penalty of life in prison without parole. Through research, it has shown that the adolescent brain is not fully developed until the age of 21 as well the male mind is slower at processing thoughts and actions than females. Perhaps this is why most cases like these are within the male society. As young girl are matured far more than young men. In the video, the lady the befriended
Clearly, “Straight Pool” by John O’Hara can be interpreted in two distinct ways. I can see why you believe that we should feel sympathetic for Mae, but I think you need to see it from my point of view. At first I thought Mae was just a sad wife in a bad relationship, but as I read on I realized that Mae is a manipulative woman. I need you to know that she is a very devious and scheming wife. Mae’s husband, the narrator in this story, sees that he is having problems with his wife.
First of all, Jacob Riis is the author of “How the Other Side lives”. He was famous for using photography to document the extremely poor conditions of many poor populations in the early 20th century. Riis was a Danish immigrant, he worked as a police reporter for The New York Tribune, a job that gave him a close and personal relationship with Mulberry Bend, a vestige of Five Points, the most infamous slum in the city. This book reveals the dirt, disease and misery associated with the living in the New York slums.
Geisel writes in the epigraph of Water for Elephants: “An elephant’s faithful-one hundred per cent!” Elephants are known for their immense loyalty to their companions, and people are also often extremely faithful to their friends. In Water for Elephants, Jacob’s devotion to his friends highly influences his behavior. His attachment to those who are close to him always leads him to do as much as he can to help his comrades. To pay for a doctor to see Camel, he is willing to give up his prized possessions. Also, Jacob feels protective of Marlena, and he immediately attacks August when August threatens her safety. Lastly, his loyalty to Rosie makes him feel extremely guilty when he does not defend her; he is willing to keep her safe with him
The sun has risen and a young boy jumps out of bed with excitement, as he knows today he gets to go to his first professional baseball game. His father had bought him the tickets for his birthday months ago, and the boy had been counting down the days ever since. He put on his favorite ‘Cleveland Indians’ shirt, and ran downstairs to eat his yogurt and waffles for breakfast. As he ate, his mother saw him happily drawing Jacob’s Field, using his brown crayon to put the finishing touches on the base paths. The boy had a penchant attitude for baseball, as it was the first game his father ever taught him to play, and because of that, he would play whenever he could; with rocks and a stick, with his friends in the yard, and in his head when he
The day started with a routine training run for Jack Chavez and his squad members, who were all members of the NYPD Emergency Service Unit’s Apprehension Tactical Team, which was an elite group of officers trained in hunting the most dangerous criminals in New York City. The run was nothing new to most of the men, and then had run about two-thirds of the course, when they were suddenly interrupted and ordered to exit the pit and make their way to a briefing room. Upon arrival, Chavez and the team were immediately briefed of a developing situation happening near lower Manhattan. Groups of reportedly home-grown terrorists, armed with automatic weapons, were threatening key targets throughout New York, mostly places with a large civilian presence such as
Jaden Hayes has a lot to be sad about, and yet, the six-year-old boy from Savannah, Georgia is on a mission to put a smile on the face of everybody he comes in contact with who looks like they could use a little cheering up.
Hayward, California, near San Francisco, a modern city with the latest technologies, clean streets, and a busy academic and business life. A complete paradox of the popular image of San Francisco, South Hayward from what I experienced, had an increasing amount of poverty, drop-outs, and littered streets. The stain of poverty and seemingly unmotivated people in my native city, encouraged me to take action by volunteering to feed the homeless, struggling families, and the people in power wanting to better Hayward as well. Through TRIO, I became a mentor to encourage the youth to pursue college and have a perspective on their future career life. Besides the people of Hayward, I also cared about the animals, I became a volunteer in the Hayward
It had been ten years since I lived with my mother Janessa, my father Will, and my brother Marco. It had been ten years since the Jews and the Christians in my town would scold each other on every single imperfection that weighed themselves down. It had been ten years since I met the nicest Jewish boy named Jacob down by the watercress. And it had been ten years since I have told anyone this story.
With the current technology on the rise and its ability to learn and track what we do, eat, whom we talk to and when we sleep it is such a big part of our daily lives that consumers don’t realize the possible dangers. The issue that come from letting these websites, computers and phones etc. can have a huge impact with our daily life. What else do these companies know about us and how much freedom and privacy do we really have. Allowing Big brother and little brother being in bed with one another. Allowing big name companies and smaller companies to have access to literally everything that we search on the internet and simply what we like is a problem.
As the Smiths drove down that mile long driveway, they knew they’d never be the same again. It was the summer of 1984, Mr. Smith was offered a teaching position at the University of Georgia and was bringing his family along. Two weeks before starting their jobs and school, they bought the perfect home. It was a big, beautiful old plantation home for a steal.

As a child, Jacob Portman loved to listen to his grandfather Abraham’s stories about his life in wars, his performances in circuses, and his life in a supposedly peculiar children's home run by a wise old hawk who smoked a pipe. As he grew older, though, he began to doubt his grandfather’s stories, until one day he went to visit his grandfather, and instead found him dying in the woods near his home. His dying grandfather tells him to go to the old children’s home and to “‘Find the bird. In the loop. On the other side of the old man’s grave…’” (page 37). Jacob feels something watching him, and raises his flashlight to reveal a beast that seemed to have been translated directly from his childhood nightmares. After his grandfather’s death, no one seems to believe Jacob’s story and his parents decide to send him to a psychiatrist, named Dr. Golan. Dr. Golan believes it would be best for Jacob to do as his late grandfather said and to visit the old children's’ home. Jacob and his father decide to go to the island, but later Jacob finds the house long deserted, covered in vines and trees.
With many of the texts that were assigned to us, each one dealt with the relationship between insiders and outsiders differently. The insider and outsider relationship varies between both the idea of inner conflict and outside conflict. I will be explaining these relationships from the texts of Gooboora, The Silent Pool, The Tell-Tale Heart, and Things Fall Apart. Gooboora, The Silent Pool deals with the relationship of the Aboriginal people of Australia and colonialization, while The Tell-Tale Heart deals with an outsider’s effect on the main character’s subconscious. Things Fall Apart, however, is a mixture of both conflicts that were mentioned. Each of the three texts show how the outside negatively effects the inside.
