Longtown Argumentative Essay

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.

People judge others through stereotypical analysis, where untrue, negative thoughts about a person are based on precedent assumptions. The Youngers’ faced these issues when trying to move into a predominantly white neighborhood called Clybourne Park. The family was alienated by the neighborhood in multiple ways. In one particular way, the community board thought that the Youngers’ would make the predominately white, upper-middle-class neighborhood unclean because of them being the only black family to move into the neighborhood.

Since the beginning of the human race whites and blacks have been segregated, except in Longtown Ohio where racism is excluded from their community and culture. This town was first settled in 1818 by free blacks before the civil war. Many of the blacks that settled this town were former slaves that encouraged many others like them to migrate to their community. It's time for the world to become racist free. An article by Washington Post titled “Ohio town holds rare history: Races mix freely for nearly 200 years” explains the community of Longtown as one of the only racist free towns in the early 1800s. According to the Washington Press the town was taught to be

As we were driving down Main Street, we felt the sudden change from the smooth pavement to historic brick road as the Uber rolled to a stop onto the corner of Exchange and Main.

Hall born as a hermaphrodite (or intersexed) and saw herself/himself as both a man and a woman which put him/her under more scrutiny, although this only came into light after she/he was under scrutiny . One of Last thing I understood being reading the information is because she/he would take on the roles of both a male and female at different points throughout life. This caused T. Hall’s neighbors to have a trail to try to help them with the indentation of T. Hall’s role/place

I plan to impact the future by moving the Colorado Pikeminnow (Ptychocheilus lucius) off of the endangered species list. This fish is native to the Colorado River, and is the largest of the Pikeminnows (Ptychocheilus). It can grow to 6 feet long, and can weigh up to 100lbs. Many years ago, this fish thrived in the Colorado River. They used to be called the white salmon, because when they spawned they would run so thick up the river that it was easy to reach down and stab them with a long spear.
