In The Gift, Ian Parker discusses a personal story of a man named Zell Kravinsky that had given almost his entire fortune and kidney under moral obligation. The “big question” that will be evaluated in this paper is there important limits to how much do-gooding morality can ask of us? If so, how much can it ask of us to sacrifice for others? This question had placed great influence on Zell Kravinsky story and it is important we evaluate his arguments for moral obligation can ask of us. In this essay I intend to recognize the infraction that moral obligation puts on decisions such as ‘nondirected’ organ donation. The boundary Zell Kravinsky set an moral obligation should be avoided because his actions were not entirely moral, and placed harm on his well-being.

In a person’s life, that person will have one role model that will stick with them. This role model may not be by the person’s side every single day, or every year, but the role model’s lessons and memory can last lifetimes. In “My Favorite Teacher” by Thomas L. Friedman, the author tells the readers about his role model, named Hattie M. Steinberg, and the impact she had on his life. Many times, people do not even realize how much of an impact one person can have on them until that person is gone.

Many authors use different structures for their writings. This can relate to Gary Soto’s “The Jacket” and “Seventh Grade”. “The Jacket” and “Seventh Grade” have different structures which build up their plot. Three main structural distinctions between “Seventh Grade” and “The Jacket” are their point of view, the setting, and the type of conflict.

The term “Gold Rush” means whenever a large amount of gold is found in a certain place a lot of people come to get it.

Soon after The New York Herald reported the news of this discovery, many travelers took advantage of this opportunity to make money. But they did not know the struggle their lives would become with the gold rush. On these gold fields, people would have “bad success”. Some died, others contracted diseases, and most people had to spend all day digging and not receive the amount of gold they intended to get. S. Shufelt states “ Many, very many, that come here meet with bad success and thousands will leave their bones here.” This shows us that people were so focused on the gold and becoming rich and ignored that fact of a tough life they will experience in the gold

It’s hard to believe that Google began as a small online search engine created by two college students in a dusty garage, which eventually developed into one of the most prominent companies in the world. It started in California in 1998 by Sergey Brin and Larry Page, two individuals who aspired to collect the world 's resources in an organized manner, making it universal and accessible for all. Programs like Google expose users to an infinite amount of material, allowing individuals to process information at an unprecedented rate. With just a click of a button the World Wide Web makes this possible, but are we truly aware of the side effects it may have on our brains? The New York Times best seller, Nicholas Carr, author of The Shallows: What The Internet is Doing to our Brains explores how the Net shapes the way our minds think. He argues that the medium to which information is presented can be more influential than the content itself, thus corrupting the minds of individuals in ways that society may or may not be aware of. Carr also implies that the Internet is making individuals incapable of reading deeply, specifically with long pieces of writing, which essentially affects a person’s capacity to concentrate and analyze information. Through Carr’s personal experience with technology, we also get an understanding of the roots of his ideologies.

Throughout time, distinguished authors have succeeded in the goal of portraying the human journey. There has been an innumerable amount of literature published over the years; however what separates the extraordinary books from the appalling books, is the author’s ability to visually and emotionally move their readers. In order to establish a connection to the audience, an author must understand human experience. In Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen, two narratives are used, one of an older Jacob, and one of a younger Jacob. This choice is made by the author to help the reader fully comprehend the circle of life. Everyone succumbs to age sooner or later, and while many books conclude with the narrator finding contentment at an early age, this is not the case in reality. In the real world, most struggle to achieve fulfillment, by creating an elderly Jacob, in this case it does not necessarily mean that a live has been fulfilled. The old aged are sometimes just as clueless as the young. Sara Gruen discloses that the old are not very different from the young; in many cases the old are still playing the game against the formidable opponent of life.

The news of the gold being found spread very quickly. When people began to look for more gold, they found gold in a lot

Gold was discovered in many rich deposits along the Klondike River in 1896, but due to the remoteness of the region and the harsh winter climate the news of gold couldn’t travel fast enough to reach the outside world before the following year. Reports of the gold in newspapers created a hysteria that was nation-wide and many people quit their jobs and then left for the Klondike to become gold-diggers.

The Golden Goblet by Eloise Jarvis McGraw illustrates an excellent story about a young boy named Ranofer who lives in ancient Egypt. Ranofer must bear through tough times and jobs that no one would think a boy of his age could handle. Ranofer is an amazing person who could inspire lots of people to do what’s right even though it may be hard. This novel is a very thrilling story, educational, and entertaining. The most important event in The Golden Goblet was when Ranofer found the golden goblet because it made Ranofer think that it was more than just stealing gold, it scares Ranofer a lot, and he too nervous to tell anyone.

Romance of the Republic written in the eighteenth century by Lydia Marie Child has an underlying theme of race and racism. This novel illustrates to the reader, the dedication that Child had towards raising an awareness of and challenging the widespread attitudes that individuals have towards discrimination which includes racial and sexual.

The author Eloise Jarvis McGraw wrote a mysterious but entertaining novel called the Golden Goblet. It is about an Egyptian boy named Ranofer that finds a golden goblet that his older step brother Gebu stole. This is why the most important event in the book Golden Goblet is when Ranofer finds the golden goblet and gets him caught so that he does not have to live with his mean brother Gebu, obtains an apprenticeship with the most high scaled goldsmith in Egypt, and also meet the pharaoh’s wife. The first reason that supports that when Ranofer finds the goblet is that he does not have to live with his brother Gebu. Ranofer does not want to live with him because all he ever does is beat him and barely feeds him.

People, myself included, often wonder what success is in terms of a career. Usually, students predict how they will accomplish their goals and want to feel what it would be like to be successful in a career. I believe education plays a huge part of that because it will help us realize our potential.The importance of education is derived from overcoming our personal obstacles, reaching the goals we set and thriving for success.

While there were several works of art that I had liked, the artwork and album finally chosen from Noelle Ocon’s album for this particular study was The Armorer’s Shop by David Teniers the Younger and Jan Brueghel the Younger. The goals for the study of this painting were to delve into topics such as subject matter, spectrum bands used to reveal information about the painting, and conservation efforts in general. As such, this study will start with the subject matter and style of presentation.

The book Apollo, by Catherine Bly Cox and Charles Augustus Murray, is one that delves deeply into the seemingly behind-the-scenes actions and perspectives of the U.S. Apollo space program. This comprehensive account of the trials and tribulations of even the most minute characters paints an overarching display of the vitality of cooperation and dedication alike. Contrary to conventional education, Apollo aims to illustrate the relationships between various departments, agencies, and nations rather than focus solely on the glory of the astronauts who rode the rocket to stardom. The actions of the United States to fixate on the noise and size of the rocket as well as pictures of the astronauts of the Apollo program camouflage the underlying
