In 1983, Raymond Carver introduced his short story “Cathedral” to the public. The first-person narrative takes place within the narrator’s home, where his wife is waiting upon the arrival of her blind friend Robert. The narrator, however, becomes more concerned about how Robert’s visit will affect him rather than enjoy the situation. Once Robert arrives, the narrator tries to understand the blind man, but he is unaware of what tasks Robert is capable of performing due to the narrator’s inability to “see”. In time, Robert shows the narrator the difference between looking and seeing through illustrations of a cathedral, drawn by the narrator with his eyes closed. “Cathedral’s” narrator exposes readers to anti-heroic views

Many argue that wrestling should be excluded out of the olympics. Some say wrestling is a boring sport to watch, unhealthy, causes injuries and leads to children being violent. I find this to be very false. I think that wrestling is one of the most important sports, mentally physically and just all around. Wrestling is a sport that creates character and has children and young adults working hard for what they want to achieve.

Many people have had a an issue of safety on rescue services. Some say they are risking their lives while others say that they are not. There have been many articles on the subject about rescuers that died and climbers that had a false sense of hope. Some articles say that the climbers are safe and that there is nothing dangerous about mountain climbing. But what is right is that people do have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk because all humans have a right to rescue services.

Do people have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk? Mountain climbing is an activity of climbing mountains. For helicopter services, each cost about $2 million apiece and the helicopter could only take one climber.

People do not have the right to rescue services when they put themselves in a risky because people may die, and bad environment.

What is one of the things that most people are accustomed to? Something that has been a part of their daily life. There are many things but what I am referring to is school. School has been around for hundreds of years. Whether it was to learn about religion or the mandatory classes we take now in the 21st century, many of us have been advised to go to school. It has changed a lot over the years and the system is still trying to improve how they could better educate their students in the future. Now, after going through many levels of school, people question themselves: why did I learn all of this? They question why they couldn’t learn more about taxes, buying a house or the important aspects when you get a car. School has become a

Friends is a hit television (tv) show, and has been since 1994 when it first came out. The television show follows the lives of six friends throughout the course of 10 years. Friends is a good tv show despite some people’s opinions. The show was at the top of the charts for the years that it ran, and even more after that. The theme song itself was number 1 for 8 weeks, and after that was still within the top numbers (Billboard Staff, 2015). Even though the show is aimed for a mature audience, it captures the qualities a hit tv show needs. Friends is a good tv show due to the fact that it is a comedy, includes lots of plot twists, and follows one basic storyline.

    Are moral standards in the eye of the beholder? According to one author, “we’ve seriously lost our way”, going on to state, “we are like mean adrift at sea without a compass” (Hulme). In literature as in biology, the mantra of form fits function applies and heightens a reader’s appreciation of a writer’s choice and how they contribute to a work of literature. In Tim O’Brien’s collection of short stories, The Things They Carried, the narrative, the experience of reading and the alternating Vietnam and modern day settings not only shape the author’s world view, but reflect upon his own experiences in the 1960’s and 1970’s war. The short stories within

Why shouldn’t rescue services have the right to save people when they put themselves in danger? In the summer of 2012 a catastrophe and devastating event happened, ranger Nick Hall died. To start there are many limitations and qualifications to being a ranger, so we should warn people not to climb lethal mountains. So we don’t risk the lives of other people like rangers and rescuers. Also, it can be expensive at times, especially when they need money to build the helicopters and in Switzerland the need to bring in a technician when they use the safety net. 4,000 people have successfully climbed everest but over 230 people die on Mt. Everest scaling the drastic mountain or saving people who

Have you ever been hunting in the woods? Have you ever shot something that has four legs, each one has a hoof on them. It can get gigantuan antlers and sheer size, but yet I don't harm hunters often even though people still want to eat me for dinner. If so, have you ever shot a deer while 20 feet up in the air?Have you ever had your legs shake so bad you think you might collapse? If you have gone hunting you know what I have felt.When we have time we go out to our farm in Fulton County (which is prime hunting land). We have been hunting there since I was seven years old . My dad has been hunting for over 20 years and yet he still has feelings for hunting. Although

I agree with Jon Henley that human lives should be worth more to us than completing any goal, even one as big as making the summit of Everest. In the article, Jon Henley writes about how around 40 climbers without even thinking twice pass a dying British mountaineer named David Sharp. Knowing that the people just let a living human being die breaks my heart that anyone would chose a chance to be on top of the world rather than save a life. When someone is ignored or wrongly treated, I want to ask that person how they would feel if they were the one ignored. Every life on Everest matters because that person has people who love them and Don Mazur and his team understood that. They saved a man instead of accenting to the summit,and I bet the

Imagine you are one of the highest mountains in the world. You don’t care about the risks because there are rescue services to help you. But what if one day they all decide to quit or they don’t come to you in time? There are amazing climbers who are still willing to make the climb but when they make a mistake there won’t be someone behind you to bring you back up when you fall.There are people in this world who are willing to take risks and reach their own Mount Everest but sometimes the price can be too high to bear. For example, having the person who rescued you died trying. That person is part of the rescue services. When climbers are putting their own life on the line, they shouldn’t be demanding the rescue services to save them when they are putting themselves at risk.

Do you think people should be rescued from something they put themselves in to? It would be their fault to begin with. They either knew or somebody told them beforehand. If they do get stuck there they should deal with the consequences. Should people put their lives on the lives on the line for the stupidity of others? Absolutely not! The person that put their self at risk should have known what they were doing.

Why spend money that is really needed for other things? Why live uncomfortably? Why be trapped in this hole called a home that belongs to another person? Why not live free and peacefully? When a person rents he or she usually throws away money that could be used to purchase something that belongs to them. Money is not easy to come by so why pay out hundreds toward something that is not benefit to the person paying it out. There is no good explanation for making a decision like this. The best option in a situation like this is to buy a house. Buying a house is a better option than renting an apartment.
