Like any other group there would be some rebels and Jones had support from almost the entire group to inflict some punishment, some include public homosexual humiliation, forced boxing matches between a much stronger opponent, being locked in confinement without food and water for 24 hours, and the list goes on. Members of the group knew that is they broke any of the rules great shame would be brought upon them and their families.

Rhetorical analysis is looking at something such as an essay, newspaper, movie or advertisement and looking beyond the story, information and intended audience. To analyze the purpose behind what’s written or said, to discover the intended audience and why they are writing what they are writing. There are three parts of rhetorical appeal persuasion: Ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos or an ethical appeal. This is the audience’s perspective on what the author is writing and to decide how credible it is. Who the author is and if they are credible. Pathos or pathetic appeal is the writer's attempt at connecting with the audience through experiences or examples. It is directly connected to interests and emotions of the audience.

There has always been a demand for roads in the United States as roads are essential in the development of a nation. The national interstate highway system was America’s solution for the need of a road system that would stretch from coast to coast. The United States Interstate Highway System is a landmark project and often considered one of the greatest public works projects in American history by making travel by automobile faster, cheaper, safer and more convenient. New roads have been a necessity on our country ever since Henry Ford began to produce the automobile back in in 1903.

Being the fourth largest metropolitan city in the United States and the largest city of Texas, Houston is subject to a mighty amount of traffic that affects its roadways. As one would suspect, these roadways are constantly deteriorating due to this severe usage, but this problem isn’t being addressed proportionately. The Houstonians need improvements made towards roadways now to decrease traffic, provide an environment that is more safe, and reduce the above average financial costs to operate their vehicles in Houston compared to other cities in the United States.

Transportation between Compinwood and Eaganville is important to the region’s economic growth and development. As transportation planners for the State of Gilder, our job is to create a transportation plan that will ease congestion, meet the needs of the citizens, and reduce travel time on the SR A. Over the next 25 years, the population of Compinwood and Eaganville are expected to increase and the jobs in Eaganville are expected to increase as well. While the SR A is already heavily congested, it is experiencing an increase in truck traffic due to the increased trade with Florin. Agri Com is a coalition that supports these businesses involved in agriculture and trade with Florin. The SR A is one of the most congested freeways in Gilder

Facts:- The BC Ministry of Transportation and Highway issued a request for proposal(RFP) for the construction of a Highway. Six teams responded with submission including Tercon and Brentwood Enterprises Ltd. Later that year, the province informed the six proponents that it now intended to design the highway itself and issued a request for proposals for its construction. The RFP set out a specifically defined

Around 1958, the California Highway Department did planning that showed a new [West-side] freeway that was to connect Highway 101 at Mountain View with the 101 near Monterey Road in south San Jose. The plans showed this freeway would cut our property into two pieces. Of course, there was nothing we could do to change those plans, so we had to plan that sometime in

“I now walk into the wild” stated Chris McCandless, as he is about to make the worst decision of his life. Chris was just your average rich suburban kid when one day he decided to flip his whole world around, Chris decided to leave his whole life behind and to go live off the land in Alaska. Chris tried to do the impossible, and failed terribly. For all i know the only people living off the land are tribes and people in third world countries, these people would switch lives with chris in a heartbeat! Chris never realized how lucky he was to have an education (not just your average education either, he attended Emory), a home, and people that love him. In my eyes chris killed himself with his stupidity. He lacked knowledge of the wilderness, and he never got to prove his point. Although he followed his dream, he died which proves that you cannot live your life off of the land. Chris was a fool because he was not prepared to go into the wild and because he hurt a lot of people emotionally while gone.

“The city has had conversations about doing something with the junction for almost 35 years and the very small commercial area has struggled over the years and so the community has looked at it

The regulation that will be discussed in this week’s assignment is the Federal-Aid to Highways Act of 1956 found in the e-book: American Transportation Policy. The reason that I have chosen to cover this topic is because this was the start of the development of the highway systems that we are familiar with today. The Federal Highway Act of 1956, in fact, was a bill that was very important with introducing a framework for highways and was done during the Eisenhower presidency.

Walden Road Widening:Design Engineer for the drainage of the road expansion. The existing 2-lane asphalt road was widened to a 3-lane road with the possibility of revising the striping to be a 4-lane road in the future. The design included one

The project heads in a northeast direction beginning at the intersection with County Highway M (station 1+00) and ending at the designated end of project (station 78+69.31). A new horizontal and vertical alignment were designed based on a design speed of 55 mph and a superelevation rate of 6%. The calculated minimum radius for each of the three curves designed was 1065 feet. The new design for the roadway meets the maximum grade restriction of 5% for a rural arterial. The stopping sight distance requirements calculated

In the Ted Talk “We should aim for perfection- and stop fearing failure”, Jon Bowers outlines his argument for perfection. He begins by giving an example of a “small error” that ended up costing Amazon over $160 million dollars. He then lists more examples draws them forward to present his idea of perfection. The examples show how one tiny error can have an enormous impact and he turns to the audience asking “why we cannot achieve perfection?”. He draws the listeners in by giving personal experience in striving for perfection. “Look, a hundred people die everyday due to vehicular crashes. Think about that for a second. That's like the equivalent of four commercial airliners crashing every week, yet we still can't convince ourselves to pay perfect attention behind the wheel. So I teach my drivers to value perfection”. Jon is an educator for professional delivery drivers and has to ensure that they are prepared to handle any and every situation possible.

For the essay I chose the play The Mountaintop by Katori Hall and an interview from the documentary Twilight, by Anna Deaver Smith, “When I finally Got My Vision/Nightcloud.” The Mountaintop depict the tenacious leader of 1960’s Civil Rights movement, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., being visited by an angel the night before his assassination. “When I finally Got My Vision/Nightcloud” is a first person narrative about a man who, becomes a victim of police brutality and loses his sight because of it. These two text share common themes; which, are that mankind tends to persevere for the sake preservation.
