In “Backpacks vs. Briefcases: Steps toward Rhetorical Analysis”, the author, Laura Bolin Carroll describes the essentials of rhetorical analysis and how it helps us make decisions in our everyday life. She begins by explaining how we unconsciously analyze and conclude our perception of people when we meet them. This introduces the readers to rhetorical analysis. Rhetorical analysis is articulating imagery or surroundings that persuade us on our choices. Carroll believes that this is an important aspect and that we can make better conclusions if we utilize rhetorical analysis on our day-to-day encounters. She further states that there are three parts in understanding a context of rhetoric. They are (1) Exigence: events that require actions

Invisible Backpack: Reflective essay Growing up we often fail to recognize the ways in which we are privileged and the opportunities we are given due to our privileges. In the essay “White Privilege: Unpacking The Invisible Knapsack,” Peggy McIntosh discusses the privileges of being White and the ways she experienced advantages because of her race. Throughout the essay McIntosh allows readers to explore how she has been given opportunities, due to specific traits she has in her “invisible knapsack”, privileges she once had taken for granted. Her personal experiences take up most of the essay and with it she invites the reader to particepate in discovering which items their knapsacks carry.
In the past two years, I've had the privilege of volunteering at the "Ready for School" event at Faith Lutheran Church in Arlington Heights. Ready for School, or more commonly known as "Backpack Day", is an event where Arlington Heights school districts and other community members help fund to purchase school supplies for under privileged students in Arlington Heights. In addition, on the day of the event there are multiple community services, such as the police and fire departments, the library and park district in attendance to help families understand the resources they offer. The numbers of families and students that attend increase each year, this year with over 600 backpacks.
During the summers of 2015 and 2016, I got the chance to work in Istanbul, TR as a summer camp counselor. The program is called RC Summer and is an english immersion program for Turkish kids aged 7-14. As part of the program, the counselors are given a lot of free reign on the activities they can offer so I offered activities that ranged from building toys to making giant bubbles. My favorite activity that I offered was "Recycled Town." In 2015 the theme of the summer was "Move, Act, Make a Difference." Every other day, I would take my group of kids around campus and we would collect things in recycled bins and by the end of the session they had built their own town equipped with a bank, a nuclear power plant, a sewer system, a farm, and an
In the short story, “The Things They Carried” by Tim O’Brien, the characters are all carrying something important. Every soldier carries something different into war. Some of the things they carry are important for their survival, and other objects may have a more sentimental value than importance. During war, soldiers carry many things, however soldiers can also carry things into their lives after war. Tim O’Brien portrayed that every soldier is different during a time of war. Some soldiers can handle the stress and pressures of war while others cannot. Being around a high stress and dangerous environment can change the way soldiers react in certain situations.
The resources needed for the program are: a space for the activities, afterschool snacks and a fund to purchase props and materials. Since the program is
The first of these two “things” was designed by me during the winter term of my second year at Concordia University, in response to an assignment for PK Langshaw’s 392 course. I devoted two months to it, from February to April of 2015. This was a group project in which I worked with Alexa Piotte, Francis Leclerc-Charron, Joey C. Gravel and Katherine Rudge. As a group, we were asked to create a product that we would sell at a fundraiser to raise money for the homeless. This product also had to reflect the ideas behind homelessness. The question raised on this issue was how can we as design students prevent people from simply ignoring the homeless? As a result, we wanted to create a pouch that would allow the users to think about the homeless and to help spread the word. For the second phase of our project, we wanted to volunteer and engage in a more interactive experience, involving the youths of our age. We decided to
My proposed solution to this is that school counselors and city mayors can be a major source of inspiration to children who are affected by a challenge like this. They can advise them on how to build themselves with determination to make a difference.
The project is important due to the fact that Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Ocean State serves between 500 & 600 boys and girls in Rhode Island and neighboring communities.

It has always been close to my heart to help others who are in need; therefore, I chose to volunteer my time toward helping to make Project Backpack a success. Some time ago I chose to join the Project Backpack team in order to help under privileged school kids. Project Backpack is a project where members go out and buy items that children need in order to make it through school. Some items that were purchased to fill backpacks were school supplies, such as notebooks, pencils and pens, crayons, and other school essentials. We also would get personal items for the children, such as toothpaste and toothbrushes, shampoo, body wash, and deodorant. Then we might even get a few toys, such as cards, football, or another small toy. We chose to do that because we realized that we were giving these backpacks to children who are under privileged and they may not have many toys, and it is just a way to make the backpack more comforting to the children.
