Walesko Casiano 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. Three years later McCandless was found dead in a blue bus located in Alaska. He had died of starvation. He went off and, ¨lived his life.¨ McCandless went out and lived in the wild. While Christopher McCandless died peacefully, the question has arose on whether McCandless was a noble adventurer or an arrogant fool. The evidence from many stories and social media clearly states that McCandless was in fact an arrogant fool. Christopher McCandless was an arrogant fool because he was not prepared, he

1. For my television commercial I used the popular Sham wow infomercial. According to the site the Sham Wow is “a washcloth, which will dry, and polish any surface. They are like a towel, chamois, and sponge all in one--except they're extremely absorbent and can be used over and over.” However, a segment on ABC’s Good Morning America gives Sham Wow a “C” and says it’s a normal towel so why have so many Americans fallen for the gimmick?

When you see yourself living out your dream, the thought of what you're most passionate about pulls you in. Passions in one's life change based on what had affected that person. Dreams are defined to change. However, the benefits of these thoughts is that they belong to you and only you. Not one person's opinions matter but your own. Chris McCandless simply was living out his own ideal life, the way he wanted; not to the idea of his parents, his friends or of society. McCandless wanted to escape society and civilization which he felt was tying him down, while also trying to discover himself. McCandless is not by any means a wacko. He was simply defying society and its ideal expectation it holds upon us as a whole.

As to what I known during my developmental stages was that what is now called Child Protection and Permanency, CP&P was in the past called the Division of Youth and Family Services, DYFS had a bad reputation behind its name. When growing up, it was the acronym, DYFS that was mostly said and used that brought awareness in the African American and/or poor communities that someone’s child(ren) was going to be taken away from the home. It was DYFS that put that fear in families as an indication of the removal of children for reasons indicated, and/or false accusations. Some single parent families would do their hardest to work, take care, and provide for the children from the low income that was earn from working, and stay out of the eye of ever

In Letter from Governor Edmund Ross of New Mexico to President Grover Cleveland, Governor Edmund Ross wrote to President Grover Cleveland regarding the white residents’ reactions towards Geronimo’s escape from military custody and Ross’ attempt to further convince the government to rid and even potentially kill off some of the American Indian tribes surrounding their settlements. Despite their small number, which was a population of “less than five hundred”[ Kent McGaughy, American Perspectives: Readings in American History, Volume 2 (New York City: Pearson Education, Inc., 2015), Page 80] people, the white settlers felt uneasy about the fact that they lived in such close proximities to them. They believed that if some of the tribes (particularly, the Chiricahua and the Warm Springs bands of the Apaches group) were removed, they would feel safer. Moreover, they believed that the tribe’s removal would have a positive and tranquil impact on the settlers’ territories and industries as they believed the American Indians’ “constant war with the white race”[ McGaughy, Page 80] hindered their way of life.

The hormones in the body begin to act up and teenagers want to experience other things on their own. Males begin to grow pubic and facial hairs, and their voice starts to deepen, while girls’ breasts begin to develop and their body begins to take shape. After hitting puberty, teenagers are now at the point where they want to experience things. ‚Don’t go out there and get pregnant‛ a mother

September 11, is a day of memorizing and honoring those who died during the terrorist attack in 2001. However on that exact day our society change forever in ways that are still affecting our perspective and decision in negative ways 15 years later. On September 9,2016 a bill was passed through the house called the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA), allowing the victim's family to sue Saudi Arabia. Certain senates that are trying to push this bill forward believe that Saudi Arabia should be held legally responsible for the death of innocent Americans, since those who hijack the plane were of Arabian backgrounds. This essay will prove that the JASTA bill will worsen our relationship with muslim people, due to the ever increasing propaganda resulting in our criminalizing the muslim religion, and imposing a structural violence.

Three Changes before the first ever departure of the Sonic Line N043, Pansia was in cleavage. On one side the fear, the envious hatred, the general awareness of a more than symbolic abandonment and the sad rationality regarding the possible consequences of the first ever migration of about a quarter of our species; on the other one preparations, euphoria, the maniacal observation of the quiet space nebulized in the universe's infinite mirror: the soon-to-be exile Pansia sitting on the threshold of the planetoid, looking for itself in the darkness beyond Moon, forgetful even of the shaft displacement that was going to take place in conjunction with its take-off.
