In the early 16 century, Europeans learned about Natives in the Americas through images depicted by early conquerors. Fortunately, we have several first-hand account by a settler who depicts them in paintings by the name of John White. While these accounts have their limitations in terms of accuracy, it is apparent that Europeans tended to view the indigenous peoples as lacking morality but in my opinion John White proves all the speculation wrong.

David Newhard was a very brave man who fought in the Vietnam war. Imagine if you were nineteen years old, never involved in the military, and enlisted in the army so you would not be drafted. This was the path that David chose to take in his military career. At the time, he only received $230 a month as income in Vietnam. According to him, he thought that this was a lot of money. Soldiers went over knowing they had to serve for 365 days. This meant that they knew when they could return home.

Human minds cannot grasp the concept of war and all of the horrors that come along with it.

Error is something that is prominent in our daily lives. It is a natural occurrence from which we as humans tend to learn from. When the question of error in writing is provoked, things are not as simple given the fact that the, “Lack of clarity about errors contradicts what is perhaps the most common belief about error in writing, namely, that errors are simply “wrong”(Lu & Horner 189). Min-Zhan Lu and Bruce Horner are English professors at the University of Louisville, who are also co-authors of Writing Conventions. In this textbook, Lu and Horner define error from many different perspectives.Throughout the chapter pertaining to error, there is supporting evidence to back up each position on what the definition of error is. In the writing,

In Trevor Lucero’s early career as a running back, he has earned the title of “beast”. Have you ever felt like you were watching the NFL at a middle school football game? If not, it’s because you’ve never seen him play. That’s his favorite part of life. His passion. He grew up in Colorado Springs, so it’s obvious that he was ecstatic when the Denver Broncos won the fiftieth Super Bowl this year. In fact, he said that that’s his favorite memory thus far in life.

Students attending John Reith Elementary are at risk because the parents are not preparing their children, teachers are not addressing the needs of each student, and the school is unable to provide additional assistances in the classroom. Parents are not enrolling their child in programs such as head start, preschool, and transitional kindergarten which will prevent the child falling behind in school. The parents and guardians are not reinforcing the topics and concepts at home to better prepare their child. Some parents are unaware of the benefits of attending school before kindergarten, and that common core changed the kindergarten standards to match the first grade standards. Teachers are unable to address every student needs and interest

Sticking with his villainous persona and his simple message, Russell once dumped out all the tribes water and food. This act of psychological warfare was never seen before on Survivor. Russell’s justification for depleting the tribe's resources was that if he “was able to control how they felt then [he] control how they would think.” Russell’s final tactic to being the ultimate survivor was to stay one step ahead of his competitors. In Survivor, players get clues to hidden immunity idols which they can use during tribal council to keep them safe from going home.

Into the Wild is a modern day exploration of liberty found by eschewing custom and flinging oneself into the literal wilderness. Exploring Christopher McCandless' true story, the film couches McCandless' search for freedom in noble terms, quoting Lord Byron, for example. In addition, both John Stuart Mill and Anne Norton would appear to agree with McCandless' adventure, though there is also the cautionary possibility that McCandless was troubled and selfish rather than noble. John Stuart Mill and Anne Norton both argue for throwing off custom in order to find greater personal freedom. In that respect, McCandless certainly was a man after their own hearts. Unfortunately, it could also be forcefully argued that McCandless was utterly ignorant and lacked respect for the wilderness, for others who knew how to live in the wilderness, and for the family that he put through hell. Even 10-year-old girl scouts know that you should always be prepared but McCandless, a grown, intelligent man, did not bother to prepare himself. Consequently, McCandless could be viewed as a noble adventurer or as a fool.
