Exemplification Essay: The American Dream
The concept that individuals are supposed to work hard and make it big may not be as easy as it
sounds anymore. This philosophy was most likely derived from the origin of "rugged
individualism" by former President Herbert Hoover, who believed that nearly all individuals are
able to succeed on their own. However, the laissez–faire economy from the past is much different
than the nation's economy today, and so that concept has changed over time. The United States had
been known for being "The Land of Opportunity". The American Dream is the nation's ethical
appeal, "The National Ethos". It draws in and persuades people that there are opportunities to be
found in America. However, why is it then that a pessimistic attitude is arising in those...show more

Especially since that gap will make it harder for citizens to increase their income for financial
support. This is seen in an article where statistics showed that "most affluent 20 percent of families
have seen their incomes (adjusted for inflation) rise steadily at a high pitch...income was moving up
for the poor and middle income earners as well–but since 1970, those incomes have more or less
stalled" (Geewax). This is important because it shows the increasing economic gap between the rich
and poor, thus making the American Dream's popular motive to achieve upward mobility much
harder. Furthermore, with the inability to increase income, the majority of citizens feel as if they
are unable to keep up with the cost of living. As said in the article, "Today, income inequality in the
U.S. exceeds any other democracy in the developed world. Two–thirds of American families earning
less than $30,000 a year are often in crisis mode" (Zuckerman). By being unable to keep up with the
cost of living due to stagnant income, this becomes another economic barrier to those two–thirds of
the population. From dealing with the cost of education, food, and taxes, the economic inequality
and stalled incomes are keeping numerous citizens from achieving their American

Exemplification Essay
Types of Irony Is it strange how love can be a source of happiness, but also cause a lot of pain? Yet
people tend to search for love, and once these people find love it comes with both pleasure and ache.
Irony plays a role in love because love is what people perceive as joy but also causes hurt, yet
people still search for love. In Kate Chopin's Story of an Hour, there are different forms of literary,
situational, and dramatic irony used. The first type of irony which Kate Chopin uses is literary
irony. Literary irony is expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the
opposite. In The Story of an Hour, Louise says that her husband Brently is...show more content...
In the end of The Story of an Hour, Louise walks down stairs to see that Brently is actually alive
which causes Louise to fall into severe devastation and die. The last type of irony used in The
Story of an Hour is dramatic irony. Dramatic irony occurs when the meaning of the situation is
understood by the audience but not by the characters in the play. When the doctor in the story
says, "She had died of heart disease, of a joy that kills." The characters in the story, Josephine and
Richards, think Louise died out of joy when Brently is actually found to be alive rather than dead.
This realization causes Louise to fall into desolation and die because now she cannot live her life
freely. Dramatic irony also occurs when Josephine thinks Louise is sick in her room when she is
really experiencing joy. This falls under dramatic irony because Josephine thinks Louise is
becoming sick due to Brently's death, but the audience reading the story know that Louise is
actually full of joy. In The Story of an Hour, Kate Chopin uses these different types of literary,
situational, and dramatic irony in her story. Irony is the use of words to convey a meaning that is
the opposite of its literal meaning, but there are also other types of irony such as situational which is
situation in which actions have an effect that is opposite from what was intended. On the other hand,
dramatic irony is

Exemplification Essay: The Immigration Process
You've probably heard the argument line "Why don't they just go back to their country?" or "Why
don't they just come here legally?" It isn't that simple and most importantly, it is an ignorant opinion.
When you say "Go back to your country", it's a lot more complicated than what your brain can
handle. An issue that's talked about a lot in our current news it the immigration crisis. The
immigration process is complicated, especially in the US.

Another minor dispute has escalated into yelling and screaming, throwing of objects and breaking
of hearts. Words that shouldn't be expressed between two loving people cause tears and feelings
of hatred, anger and disrespect. This is just one of many problems that could have been
effortlessly resolved before the mole hill grew to the size of Mt. Everest but of course walking
away from the situation isn't always the easiest thing to do. If she only turned her back away from
the quarrel and began her journey in the opposite direction she wouldn't be roaming the streets at 3

It must be a case of "tough love." What could their child have done to have lost all rights of having
a roof overhead and being kicked out with nothing more than a bag of clothes and a couple dollars
for either some phone calls or some food? Still there are some who barely receive that. Truthfully
it's a hard pill to swallow when the reality of these adolescents having nobody to turn to because of
their heartbreaking lifestyles sets in. Being sexually, emotionally or physically abused by someone
close to home isn't any fault of their own; neither is having a parent or guardian who is more
focused on their next hit rather than handling responsibilities they unconsciously took on the
moment they realized they were bringing a child into this world. However, these underage people,
must learn to survive on their own two feet. What other choices do they have? Going to the police
and confiding in them 100% is a exhausting task in its own. These are the men and women who
took an oath and vowed to protect and serve each community with their entire being, but are the
same men and women who come to the "ghetto" or to the "'hood" and harass and arrest innocent
black men and black women for standing on the corner too long. A case of mistaken identity, right?
If these youngings see this on a daily basis happening on the same streets they dwell on, is it
somewhat understandable why they fear the thought of having to approach those

Exemplification Essay: A Fictional Narrative
A century ago, Toronto was very different than it is today. One of the differences being that Alan
Talon was about to release the first ever moving picture with sound on May 16 1908. But on what
was supposed to be the most esteemed event in all of Canada, a tragedy occurred. As dozens of
elegantly dressed women and men found their way to the velvet seats in the theatre, among them
were a detective by the name of Timothy Lance, Doctor Samantha Wilfrid, Inspector Steven Louis,
and Chief Constable Craig Will. They were an accomplished group of people who worked at Police
Station #2 and were invited by Alan Talon as his personal guests. When everyone found their
assigned seats, Alan Talon, the successful inventor himself came onto the stage. "Good evening ladies

"It looks like we have two trails of clues to follow,' remarked Lance. "Bring me Mr. Edison for
questioning and get Doctor Samantha to analyze that manure," he said to the constable as they
stepped into a carriage and made their way to Police Station #2. A few short hours later, Mr.
Edison was seated in Detective Lance's office waiting to be interrogated. "Good evening, Mr.
Edison," welcomed the detective as he walked into the office. "May I ask, what is the meaning of
this childish nonsense?" asked Thomas hotly. "It has to do with the murder of Mr. Lawrence,"
replied Lance trying to maintain his decorum over Mr. Edison's impropriety. "I already told you, I
didn't kill him," Mr. Edison said. "Then why was your gun found at the crime scene?" inquired the
detective, pulling the evidence out of his drawer and placing it on the desk. "Anyone could have
stolen my gun and placed it there," answered Thomas looking at his

Exemplification Essay: The Hero's Beloved
a) Cross
She loved to contemplate the cross, because on the cross she saw the Poor Crucified. While
meditating upon the passion of Jesus on the cross, her heart would be filled with much sorrow for
her sins and the sins of the world. She would offer herself up for the salvation of the world.
According to Sr. Marcia Kay3: "Cross – Yes, the Cross, but not just the Cross, but also the Crucified
on the Cross! (Jesus on the Cross) Both are integral to her spirituality."
b) Blessed Sacrament/Eucharist
She loved to spend long hours kneeling humbly in front of the Eucharist/Blessed Sacrament, and
would receive Holy Communion as often as she could because in her times mass was rare. What
joy must have filled her heart each time she received her Beloved

Exemplification Essay: A Career As A Therapist
Everyone should certainly be in therapy. I have learned through my own experiences that seeing a
therapist isn't only for periods of crisis. When I sought therapy during a bad breakup, it wasn't until
I was happier that I truly reaped the benefits of it. Yes, those that are undergoing a depression,
addiction or a bad breakup would need the help of a mental health professional but the benefits of
therapy extend far beyond personal tragedies.
As a member of society, I must interact with others daily and sometimes these interactions are
complicated and nuanced. Though I can usually deal with them intuitively, there are some that can
wear me down mentally. Yes, I can seek the advice of my friends and family but often their opinions
are biased because they are personally and emotionally invested in my well–being and I may not get
an honest opinion due to it being difficult for them to say things that would be hard for me to hear.
A therapist, however, is not someone who is physically present in the world I am emotionally
navigating and...show more content...
My therapist provided me with small tasks and exercises to help not only learn more about myself,
but to function and perform better in other aspects of my life, such as personal growth and career.
For instance, she helped me be more cognizant of the word "you" when communicating with my
students. I learned that replacing "you were being very disrespectful" with "I'm feeling very unhappy
with what happened" was less confrontational and far more effective. I now use this form of
communication with anyone I may have a conflict with. Through this one exercise, I've learned to
presume positive intentions in others and now approach times of disagreement in a much healthier

If you want total security, go to prison. There you are fed, clothed given medical care and so on.
The only thing they are lacking... is freedom. A quote from Dwight D. Eisenhower, The
acclaimed 34th President, an Army General, a man of great honor. Above all else however, a
renowned, noble, true American that believes in our freedom. I spend nearly every day of my
current life on land dedicated to Eisenhower. In fact, nearly 600 people walk on this land nearly
every day. However, the only difference is that many of them don't give it a second thought. Many
don't recognize that Eisenhower is the man that makes us able to walk these halls, sit in these
classrooms, and learn from all of these people that try to shape us into true Americans like

Exemplification Essay: Lemon City
By 1889, the locale had two names, community of "Motlo" or "Motto", named after a Seminole
chief and Lemon City which prevailed for being more appealing. Even though Lemon City had a
general store, barbershop, saloon, blacksmith shop, wharves and warehouses, a school, and a hotel,
all prior to the coming of the railroad in 1896 and the birth of City of Miami, the city was never
incorporated becoming known as "the city that never was." Up to the time that Henry Flagler
brought his railroad to Miami, Julia Tuttle's homestead had nothing more than Fort Dallas built
during the Seminole Wars on the north side of the Miami River and on the south side, William
Brickell's trading post was the only establishment; Lemon City was the trade core of the

For many of us, sports are a daily part of our lives. In fact, for most people who are now involved
in coaching, it may be either their first or second priority. For anyone who has chosen to undertake
the task of coaching sports, that coach must have a clear and defined coaching philosophy. As was
mentioned in the text and assignments for this week, if one does not have his or her philosophy
defined, it will make his or her job and goals of teaching and coaching that much more difficult to
obtain.
Character development is a great philosophy to have, it is the one which I myself try to live and
coach by, and one that personally, I feel should be adopted by more coaches. Far too often we see
or hear of a coach, be it a youth coach or someone involved in professional sports, who fails to
understand that while winning may be important, the number one goal should always be the well
being and growth (both personally and professionally) of the members of the team. Perhaps the
most recent example of this is the recent events which have and are still ongoing with the Miami
Dolphins. There is currently an ongoing investigation as to whether or not bullying is being allowed
or even encouraged in the locker room of the Dolphins....show more content...
While I have never personally had to deal with a situation as exaggerated as this one, I have seen
firsthand how bullying can cause severe problems and rifts in a team. While coaching a group of
ten year old boys in baseball, there were a few players who either through a lack of experience, or
physical skills or a combination of these were not as good as the majority of the team. Of course,
boys at that age will inevitably begin to recognize this and poke fun at the other

Exemplification Essay: The Stereotypes Of Women
Our generation is naturally living in the fast–lane. This generation has been brainwashed by TV
shows, magazines , music videos and Etc. Most men treat women like crap, because of what
rappers have said, but those same rappers are the ones that are married or has had a girlfriend for
years. Example: Jay Z constantly speaks bad about women, but has been with the same woman for 15
years. Guys are getting the rap life confused with real life!
We have women who will show every ounce of their body for a check and than wonder why they
don't get any respect! Yes, sex sells, but women have so much more to offer.
One last thing, is there really a difference between a friend calling a woman a bad bi*ch and a guy
calling a woman a bi*ch?
No, There's

Exemplification Essay: Is College Worth It?
Is college worth it? That is, is college worth all the debt and stress that it brings? Americans with
four–year college degrees made 98 percent more an hour on average in 2013 than people without a
degree. While college is undeniably expensive, stressful, and at times frightening, college is
absolutely worth going to. Getting a higher education, going to college, is important because it gives
students an opportunity for a better future, one can gain valuable resources, such as important
connections with people, and going to college will most likely give you important work skills.
Most people in different parts of the world would die for a chance to have a better future for
themselves and for their families. One such example would be my parents....show more content...
Let's just say that in the future you are applying for a very remarkable, high–level job. Certainly you
can get the job on your own, but what if the CEO of that specific company is good friends with
one of the professors to whom you got very close with during the years that you spent at that
college. Maybe that One professor can influence the CEO to give you a shot at the job you
applied for. You see? What harm did that do? All that professor could have done was make sure
the CEO knew that you were going to be competent at the job you had applied for. While
obviously you were perfectly capable of getting the job completely on your own, some extra help
was very greatly appreciated. At college, most everyone makes friends. Special connections with
people that you will have for the rest of your life. In high school everyone, or at least a lot of people,
have friends. You will always have your high school friends, but I am convinced people get closer
to college friends because you go through the most life changing things with them. However,
connections are not important only for getting a job or for making friends. Some day you might
need some advice, on your life. Maybe advice about your family, or maybe advice about your job. It
will always be nice to know someone, perhaps a professor or a friend, who will be there for you
through no matter what is happening in your

Exemplification Essay: Lawrence Loasy's Admission
Lawrence Fairbanks was a respected, well–liked university official. But he had a bad habit of buying
artistic treasures and antiquities and charging them to his employer. Here's how the university's audit
department investigated his crimes and shut down the "Fairbanks Collection." If there were a law
that required people to trade their names for a single adjective, Lawrence Fairbanks would be
cosmopolitan. A tallish, gaunt man of 45, Lawrence held the position of assistant vice chancellor of
communications –– the glitziest job in the glitziest department of Aesop University. In the vast sea
of academe, Lawrence's ship steered clear of the lecture halls, laboratories, and weekly beer orgies
on Fraternity Row. I doubt that Lawrence ever met

Ah, Democracy. It's US primary season in again, and as the media gushes over the fresh bunch of

Asking someone if they are ready for college can be intimidating. Questions can begin as soon as
one starts senior year. Some will say that it feels like a race to get everything done because there
is constant pressure of hearing what others are doing. The decision on whether to go to college or
not is a personal decision. Also, applying for college can be tedious work. Becoming educated on
the process can help tremendously. It helps a lot to find someone that has been through it; there are
hidden secrets that few know about. As long as one is carefully completing the process, asking
questions, and making wise decisions, deciding to attend and apply to college can be easy. Is college
really worth it? Now–a–days, it seems that if someone does...show more content...
A positive aspect of going to college is that most employers, when hiring, will put those with a
college degree at the top. It does not mean that those with a degree are better, but it shows an
employer that a person has worked hard and can accomplish goals, which are what most are
looking for. In an article by Hansen, she states that "The lifetime income of families headed by
individuals with a bachelor's degree will be about $1.6 million more than the incomes of families
headed by those with a high–school diploma, according to the Postsecondary Education Opportunity
Research Letter" (Hansen). That amount of money can make a difference when a person begins
a family. Applying to College If one makes the decision to attend college, they are many steps to
consider when beginning the process. Often times, steps are left out when someone explains
what needs to happen. To some, this process does not need to be rushed. However, some believe
that it needs to take place as soon as possible. The first step is deciding on a school. There are
many schools out there to choose from, so a list of everything a student wants is ideal; it will
make narrowing down easier. The ideal time to being touring schools is the summer before one's
senior year. Touring schools, looking at requirements, and making sure the desired major is offered
should be taken into consideration first. It is also a good idea to find a couple schools that one is
interested in to allow variety when making a final

Attending college once you finish high school has become a thing of the norm. Years ago,
college was considered a thing for the wealthy. If you were poor going to college may not have
been an option. With financial aid, those who wouldn't normally be able to afford college are able
to attend. There are many ways that can help pay for college but in the end, it is still can be
expensive. Student loans are very helpful but can put you in financial hardship trying to pay them
back. Tuition is a thing I know a little too well. I have been in college for almost teen years. The
one thing I regret is not getting a scholarship After I graduated in 2005 from high school, I went on
to attend Lone Star College. I have also attended a technical school...show more content...
There are tons of scholarship opportunities out there based on a variety of qualifications – academics,
athletics, cultural and community experiences, background, location, desired major or area of
study, accomplishments. If you get creative, you'll find a lot of options available out there. For
example, football scholarships aren't just for football players, but some schools offer them to
other members of the team like equipment managers (Sadler, 2017). The difference between loans
and scholarships is that you do not have to pay those scholarships back. There are literally
hundreds of different types available, so consider these as soon as possible. The more you are
awarded, the less money you'll have to pay back for student loans. Even if you earn a couple of
smaller scholarships, every little bit helps to whittle down that student loan balance (Student Debt
Relief, 2017). Last year I was awarded a five–hundred–dollar scholarship. I had to write a one–page
essay on why I thought I deserved to be chosen for the scholarship and why I wanted to go into
my career field. It was that simple. I encourage everyone to consider the available scholarships to
help pay for college. If there is an opportunity to pay for college without getting into debt, I would
advise anyone to take advantage of

Exemplification Essay: How AD Changed My Life
This third recap took place before bed. AD finally was feeling better after having the flu and strep
throat. This was her first day back to school and then the babysitters after school. Over the weekend
she had spent her own money she had earned from doing chores around the house to buy a small
stuffed bunny rabbit. AD had taken the rabbit with her in her book bag to school in the morning so
that she could have it at the babysitters when she got out of school. After multiple warnings from her
father about not taking it because she will leave it at the babysitters, AD insisted on taking it. Just as
predicted, once AD returned home from the babysitters she remembered that she had forgotten her
bunny. This did not become an issue until it was
