Short Argumentative Essays
Crafting an essay on the subject of "Short Argumentative Essays" presents a unique set of
challenges. The complexity lies in the concise nature of the assignment, requiring the writer to
convey a compelling argument within a limited word count. This limitation demands a keen
ability to distill complex ideas into clear and concise statements, making every word count.
Furthermore, the brevity required for short argumentative essays amplifies the importance of
effective structuring. The writer must carefully organize their thoughts, ensuring a logical flow of
ideas within the restricted space. This challenge demands a precise understanding of the topic, as
well as the ability to select the most impactful evidence and examples to support the argument.
In addition, balancing conciseness with depth is crucial. The writer must delve into the core of
the argument without sacrificing the depth of analysis. This requires a high level of critical
thinking and the ability to present a well-rounded perspective within the confined space of a
short essay.
Moreover, meeting the criteria for a compelling argument is a formidable task. The writer must
not only present their viewpoint convincingly but also anticipate and address potential
counterarguments. This demands a thorough understanding of the topic and the ability to foresee
potential objections, responding to them effectively within the limited scope of the essay.
Despite the challenges, mastering the art of short argumentative essays can be a rewarding skill.
It hones one's ability to communicate efficiently and persuasively, a valuable asset in various
academic and professional settings.

Summary Of On Dumpster Diving
In 1993, Lars Eighner, a homeless college dropout, published his memoir titled
Travels with Lizbeth. Within, an essay titled On Dumpster Diving shares his
experiences and how they define his identity. Eighner views identity not solely on
his status of a scavenger, but rather on how his experiences shape his identity and
how he acts despite his circumstances. Similarly, as a student, my own identity is not
based on my status, but rather on how my behavior is shaped in my situations. The
identities of individuals are defined by how they live, how they react, and how they
behave in all circumstances, not on their status or profession. Throughout Eighner s
essay, he utilizes various strategies to explain the process of Dumpster divingand how
his personal experiences have shaped his own identity. Starting with a narrative, the
author describes his passion for Dumpsters and his financial reasons for becoming a
scavenger. Transitioning into a didactic tone, Eighner then defines various terms
surrounding this idea of Dumpsterdiving and contrasts the meaning of a scavenger
and scrounger. To him, scavenging is a sound and honorable niche (55), while
scrounging is crude and demeaning. After comparing the motives of Dumpster divers
with average people, he discusses various foods found in Dumpsters and the processes
needed to ensure safe and healthy consumption. With a negative attitude towards
ignorant college students and wasteful consumers, Eighner begins
College Admissions Essay-Personal Narrative-Rowing Team
For the first time in our small rowing club s history, we made it to the finals in
what was our biggest regatta of the season. Unfortunately, our boat came in dead
last...by a lot. We felt bad enough, but the last thing I expected was the outburst by
one of the veterans. Having only a few months of rowing experience, I assumed his
yelling at us was directed at me and my novice teammates. The scenario of
confronting him was running through my head. By the time we stacked the boat back
on the trailer, the thoughts myriad of thoughts through my mind were spoken. I
spoke in a tone that my teammates have never seen before. I even surprised myself
with how I stood up and defended myself and the other newer members.
Confronting my teammate was not something I would have done when I first
joined the team. In fact, speaking out wasn t something I had the confidence to do.
In 9th grade Earth Science I would never raise my hand to answer a question to

Freshman year I had found a good group of friends that I felt comfortable around. I

Stopping Deforestation In The Amazon
Deforestation is a permanent destruction of forests, and an estimated of 18 millions
acres of forest is destroyed every year. In recent decades, the forest is losing at a
rapid rate, and deforestation is a man made problem because human cut down trees
for economic development and social development. Governments and environmental
agencies have recognized the problems of deforestation, and they set up different
policies to regulate business companies and manufacturers for furthering damage the
forest. One of the most outstanding policies is to restrict illegal commercial activities
in public forest areas, and new policies of reclaiming unregistered forest land and
regulating activities on private forest are also effective methods to stop deforestation.

One of the regulation that Brazilian government and environmentalists put on
regulating deforestation is restricting commercial use of cutting forest. In Jeff
Tollefson s article, Battle for the Amazon, he states federal government designated
areas in the Amazon basin for protection, cracked down on ranchers, farmers and
land speculators, and put pressure on local government, while environmentalists
ramped up campaigns against companies that were exporting beef, leather, and
soya beans from illegally cleared land . From here, we see both government
agencies and environmentalists have actively put effect on stopping illegal
deforestation in Amazon forest, and the result is remarkable. In the latter
paragraph, it states Brazil has lowered its carbon dioxide output more than any
other country through a historic effort to slow forest loss. The deforestation rate
here last years was roughly 75% below the average for 1996 to 2005 just shy of
Brazil s pledge to achieve an 80% reduction by 2020. In other words, it can be said
that the policy on restricting illegal activities in Amazon forest is workable for
stopping deforestation, and government should strengthen the enforcement on
Walt Disneyland Research Paper
One day Walt Disney had a vision. It was a vision of a place where children and
parents could have fun together. The more Walt dreamed of a magical park, the
more imaginative and elaborate it became (justdisney.com). This vision that Walt
Disney had was the vision of one of the most well known places on earth,
Disneyland. Originally, he planned for the park to cover an area of 8 acres where
his employees and families could go to relax. However, World War II halted these
plans that he had, which ultimately gave him more time to come up with more
ideas for this vision, and he came to the quick realization that 8 acres was not
nearly enough. Finally in 1953, he had the Stanford Research Institute conduct a
survey for a 100 acre site, outside of Los Angeles. He needed space to build rivers,
waterfalls, and mountains; he would have flying elephants and giant teacups; a
fairy tale castle, moon rockets, and a scenic railway; all inside a magic kingdom
he called Disneyland (justdisney.com). To him, location was his top priority, and it
would have to be in the Los Angeles area, while also being accessible by freeway, as
well as affordable as he did not have much money at the time. The search for the best
spot finally ended in the rural Anaheim, Californiawith a purchase of a 160 acre
orange grove near the junction of the Santa Ana Freeway (I 5) and Harbor Boulevard
(justdisney.com). This would obviously be an expensive project so Walt had to turn

Antiperspirant Intel: 5 Myths You Need to Know
Know Sweat: Falsehoods and Facts You Probably Don t Know About
Antiperspirants...But Should!
By Merilee Kern, MBA
Sweat understandably gets a bad rap. It can ruin our hair; our clothes; our furniture;
our mood; our image at home, work and socially; our ability to exercise, play music
and handle gadgets; and far more. And while men tend to sweat more than women
under normal circumstances, both genders are equally impacted by hyperhidrosis a
serious medical condition causing people to sweat excessively (up to 4 or 5 times
more than normal). In fact, according to the International Hyperhidrosis Society the
scholars of sweat nearly 367 million people of all ages struggle with hyperhidrosis on
their hands, feet, face, underarms, or body.
Those living with hyperhidrosis suffer from extreme, uncomfortable, embarrassing,
and emotionally devastating sweating. In fact, an infographic from Dermira an
innovative biotech dedicated to developing treatments for chronic skin conditions is
rife with scary hyperhidrosis statistics and sheds revealing light on this debilitating
sweat inducing condition.
Whether you sweat situationally at a normal level or have clinical hyperhidrosis,
there s one shared weapon: antiperspirants. Love them or hate them, pretty much all
of us need or could certainly benefit from them. But buyer beware; all antiperspirants
are not created equal. And some misnomers exist about antiperspirants that are
Sir Isaac Newton s Life During The Scientific Revolution...
Sir Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643 in Woolsthorpe, England. He was the
only son of a prominent farmer, who was also named Isaac Newton, but died about
three months prior to his son s birth date. Newton was credited for his phenomenal
scientific discoveries during the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century. In his early
years, his mother married a prominent minister and went on to live with this minister,
leaving Newton behind to live with his maternal grandmother. Later in life, Newton
was reunited with his mother. It was speculated that Newton suffered from
depression and anxiety issues as a result of his abandonment. Newton attended
Cambridge University in the 1860 s but as a result of the plague, the university was

Maggot Fly Experiment
Each female fly can lay over 9,000 eggs. The eggs are white and are about 1.2 mm
in length. Within a day, the larvae (maggots) hatch from the eggs; they live and
feed in (usually dead and decaying) organic material, such as garbage or faeces.
They are pale whitish, 3 9 mm long, thinner at the mouth end, and have no legs. At
the end of their thirdinstar, the maggots crawl to a dry cool place and transform
into pupae, coloured reddish or brown and about 8 mm long. The adult flies then
emerge from the pupae. (This whole cycle is known as complete metamorphosis.)
The adults live from half a month to a month in the wild, or longer in benign
laboratory conditions. After having emerged from the pupae, the flies cease to grow;
small flies are not
Henry Ford Biography
Henry Ford was born July 30, 1863 in Dearborn, Michigan. Ford had a knack for
putting stuff together from an early age. When he was thirteen he received a
pocket watch, he then proceeded to take it apart, and then reassemble it. People
heard about his skill with watches, and started asking him to fix theirs. He even
made his own tools out of nails, and a corset stay. When he got a little older he got a
few boys together to build simple water wheels and steam engines. He gained a lot of
his knowledge about steam engines by becoming friends with the men that ran them.
When he was 16, he realized farming just wasn t for him, and left home to become
an apprentice to a machinist who manufactured railroad cars. He quickly realized that

It had to also be something that not just the wealthy could afford. In 1896, that was
exactly what he did, well developed the plans for it anyways. He called it the Ford

encourage him to make a better model. He got together a group of businessmen to
help him with this. He learned how to do everything he did by using trial and error.
His experience with his new business was the same way, but with this method
comes failure which Ford soon learned. He didn t give up easily though, the more
he failed the bigger the risk that he wanted to take. Which is why he began building,
and driving race cars. This brought just the right kind of attention in from the right
kind of people. A few tries later and, Ford established his own company in 1903, Ford
Motor Company. In 1907, he created a four cylinder, known as the Model N. It was
$600, and soon became the best selling car in America. That wasn t enough for
him. He wanted to make a better, cheaper vehicle, in 1908 he released the Ford
Model T. This model was made with nine different body styles. Soon, half of all
the cars in America would be the Model T s. Later, the company would move to a
bigger factory. He wanted to increase production and lower cost. He began
observing many different kinds of jobs, and combined the ideas he got from them
with his own, and soon got the idea of a moving assembly line for automobiles. He

How Arthur Conan Doyle Creates an Atmosphere of Mystery and Builds Suspense in
The Speckled Band
In many of Holmes adventures, Conan Doyle used a successful personal formula to
create mystery and build suspense, and The Speckled Band is no exception.
Watson begins the story by stating that he cannot recall any case that represented
more singular features than that of the one he is about to narrate. Despite this rather
impressive beginning, analysis of the other adventures reveals that this is the fairly
standard opening for Conan Doyle.
The reader then learns that The Speckled Band is about the assistance that Holmes
provided to a helpless young woman, by the name of Miss Helen ... Show more

In Miss Sutherland s case, her stepfather gets away his mischief as the law cannot
touch [him]; knowledge of this case may intrigue the reader into wanting to know
whether the results will also be the same on this occasion.
Helen Stoner then starts her story with only vague details of her dilemma. Her
lack of precision can be said to be deliberate on the part of the author as it gives rise
to questions like Why can t she stand the strain no longer ? How is she being
strained? Who is he who cares for her? Why has she aged so quickly? What is the
terror and fear that makes her shiver? Similarly, Arthur Conan Doyletakes focus to
comment on the clients weary and haggard expression rather than the actual case
so as to give as little mystery solving information as possible but still maintain the
readers interest through arousing their concern for Miss Stoner s situation. This
prompts the reader to read on and find out how Holmes can be of assistance to this
woman and help throw a little light through the dense darkness which surrounds
[her] . Miss Stoner s fears [that] are so vague, suspicions[that] depend entirely on
small points, are trivial are a key feature of Holmes method of solving the case with
his deductive reasonings and observations. He uses this method in many; if not all of

(FULL DISCLOSURE: The attitude I display in this writing is purely for the sake
of exhibiting confidence in myself. Admittedly, I find it a little odd to be writing
some much boasting on myself, but if that s what it takes for this scholarship, I will.)
I am the prime candidate for this STEM Leadership scholarship for many reasons,
the greatest of which I would say is that I plan to study something at the heart of
STEM: cyber engineering. This major is the epitome of what STEM stands for;
technology is becoming more and more integrated into our daily lives and studying
this major will not only help me to stay up to date with the trends that will come
(and inevitably go), but will also give me the skills and knowledge to potentially
develop my own ideas into something that people can integrate into their everyday
lives. Studying this major also gives me the potential to bring my new knowledge
with me wherever I go and keep wherever I am in the current times. Now, I do not
by any means mean to belittle any of the other three fields in STEM because all ...

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not really one to get too worked up about
much unless it is something that I am truly passionate about. The thing that
maintains the greatest amount of passion in my life is my love for music. Before
moving to Pitkin three years ago, I was a part of my high school s marching band
and that gave me probably the greatest outlet I had ever experienced for my passion
for music. (My parents could attest to this because they would laugh that I always
got so into the music as we played it... needless to say, I loved it.) I believe that the
passion I am developing for working with computers and software can very easily
grow into something to the same magnitude as that as I have for music. This

How Did Levis Impact The World
Levi Strauss woke up one day, not knowing that he would impact the world

information about Levi Strauss life. He was born February 26, 1829, in the city of
Buttenheim, Germany. He has six siblings and he was the youngest. Growing up
in Germany for him was hard because he was Jewish. When Levi was sixteen, his
father passed away from a disease. This was the time where he moved to America.
After a few years, the Gold Rush came into play. He decided that it would be good
opportunity to make a business. So he moved to California to find some inspiration.

that people sold in the shop. He named the jeans Miners Pant s and that s where
everything started. But people saw it as something different. Miners loved the
pants so much it became super popular. In a matter of time, Strauss was working so
hard for everyone to get at least one pair. Soon he edited his pants once again and
started to use blue denim (Which are pronounced Genes in French but in English it
is Jeans ) for his pants. Then soon in 1872, Jacob Davis, a Nevada Tailor, sent a
letter. He requested something that he couldn t do. Adding rivets or what we know,
pockets. Jacob didn t have the money to complete the patent process so he decided
to tell Strauss. And so, the jeans we know and love were

Introduction
Audience
This description is aimed toward the general public to be informed on this form of
Green Technology and how it benefits our environment.
Purpose
Sustainable and environmental technology, also known as green technology has
become a trend in the design world as our culture has began moving into this era of
going green. This roof system is an example of green technology being implemented
into buildings and structures that the average person sees on a day to day basis.
Essentially this description will help the general public will gain knowledge on
stormwater reclamation through green roof technology. The audience will also be left
with the ability to identify this technique on buildings that they might possibly see
everyday.
Topic
Green roofs, also known as living roofs are a restorative and protective system
applied to the roof of buildings or structures. Essentially it is an extra vegetative
layer on the roof of a building. Green roofs collect rainwater to later be reused to
run specific facilities. This rainwater is then run through a series of tanks and filters
before being reused as greywater. Greywater is non potable water that can be used
for things such as flushing toilets and crop irrigation.

Based on Tennessee William s A Streetcar Named Desire, Elia Kazan creates an
award winning movie that helps readers visualize Stanley s primal masculinity, the
inner torments of the Kowalski women and the clash of the other characters
problems which create a chaotic mess. Using stage directions in the play, William
hints that Blanche is not who she appears to be while the movie subtly sheds light
on Blanche s strange little habits that suggests a bigger issue. The movie also
censors many of the main themes in Williams play but makes up for it by having its
actors flawlessly portray the characters emotions, allowing the readers to see the ...

By showing his readers the downfall of depending on men, Tennessee Williamsis
sending out a clear message to women to stand up for themselves and to be
independent. In contrast, the movie supports independence by having Stella stand
up for her newborn baby and herself by leaving Stanley. Why the stark difference
you ask? Back in the 1950s, the rape scene was considered controversial and taboo so
the director Elia Kazan was forced to punish Stanley by having his wife leave him
at the end of the film. Even the slight suggestion of a rape scene necessitated
Stanley s punishment. Realistically, Stella would ve stayed with Stanley because
she had no support for herself or the baby. Blanche s and Stella s reliance on men
and inability to support themselves are used to illustrate the subliminal pressure for
women to follow society s norms. Women without men are seen as weak, and those
who break away from their rigid social classes are looked down upon. Since these
social norms have been instilled into Blanche, she believes that she has to have a
man fawn over her feet at all times. She realizes that she is aging and thus by
engaging in sexual trysts with men, she thinks that she is still wanted and that she
still has a place in society despite her current status. After the death of Allan

Reggae Music s Influence On American Culture
Reggae Music
Music itself is often times a strong indicator of a society s culture, history, and
beliefs. Sometimes however, when another group listens to one society s music they
also make connections to lyrics, sounds, and melodies that were put into the song.
This is very much the case with Reggae music as not only did it take off in Jamaica,
its country of origin, but the United States and parts of Europe as well. Jamaicans
viewed music as a way to pass down traditions and as a way to pass through
difficult times. Reggae music often times discusses the suffering of the Jamaican
people in its lyrics. Reggae developed from preceding styles of music like Ska and

enough to appeal to a wide range of audiences. Many of the songs with an upbeat

groups began to be incorporated in the music and to make it their own. Over time this

not many people in her town didn t know anything about Iran or even where it was.
This was not the case for later immigrants from Iran because Americans knew about

Taking after the Asclepius worldview, Hippocrates concentrated on the regular
treatment to approach the malady. This approach is broadly acknowledged even
today, and in this manner Hippocrates is thought to be the organizer of old Greek
medication. As indicated by (Kristen et al.), the point of convergence of Hippocratic
pharmaceutical is the conviction that prescription ought to be rehearsed as a logical
train in view of the regular sciences, diagnosing and averting ailments and
additionally treating them. Likewise, Hippocrates trusted that the doctor ought to
study life structures, specifically that of the spine and its relationship to the sensory
system, which controls all elements of the body. Likewise, he was the principal who
trusted that this perception perceives the indications of every sickness. Besides, the
Hippocratic convention underlined ecological causes and common medications of
sicknesses, the causes and helpful significance of mental elements, nourishment and
way of life, autonomy of brain, body and soul, and the requirement for concordance
between the individual and the social and regular habitat. Moreover, the Hippocratic
doctor most importantly ensured the patient was sound as the act of solution so

The German Stereotype Of The United States
The German Stereotype in the United States?
As we covered in our workshop America has had a large population of Germans for
a very long time. While we were discussing German immigration and emigration, the
question that stuck out to me was how did the views of the other groups in America
effect how the Germans were accepted and viewed in the United States. Different
times and issues have changed how Germans were viewed in America, for example
both world wars and the following strong anti German stance. While these times of
strong emotion often change people s outlook, I would argue that the positive or
more neutral impression of German immigrants compared to other immigrant groups,
helped Germans settle in America. While times of strong emotion often change
people s outlook, German immigrants with their slightly positive or more neutral
stereotypes or ideas, helped Germans settle in America with fewer problems than
other immigrants.
In our class and in other media outlooks we have often seen the stereotypes that
immigrants are placed in and how these can be especially damaging in the move to
the United States. These immigrants are uprooting their old lives for a new world
and work. So it would have to be hard to get off the boat or ship and have all of
these expectations piled on top of a confusing new country with strange traditions.
Life was often hard in the United States and not quite what many immigrants
expected but breaking free of others stereotypes of their

Discovering this frightened me. I know that for some people this would not have
been too big of a deal, but at the time I was struggling with just reading my papers
out loud in class. There was even a time during the semester where just reading a
passage from a book out loud made me so anxious that everything seemed blurry,
even when I was able to read the words clearly just moments before. But this time I
was going to be facing a much more daunting task, something I had never
experienced before. I had never really been one for acting or performing, and I did
not know much about the legal system either. To say I was nervous would have been
an understatement.
At the thought of standing up and performing in an actual courtroom, in front of a
judge, and being evaluated by a jury, I was horrified. I spent my time wondering
how I, someone who struggled to even read a passage to a small group of friends,
could do something like this? It seemed impossible to me. From how I saw it, there
was no way I could successfully speak up and be understood in this setting. While
some people may worry about not being able to do a good job or forgetting a few
lines, I thought there was no way I could perform at all. The way I saw it, the best

Empress Theodora Summary
The thesis of C.E Mallet s article The Empress Theodora focuses upon trying to
vindicate Empress Theodora s reputation by examining evidence brought against her
by Procopius in his work Secret History. The structure of the argument entails the
author presenting evidence from historians of Byzantium (primarily using Procopius)
and contrasting them against accounts of records of Theodora s time as well as
findings of contemporary historians. Mallet presents accusations made by Procopius
in Secret History also referred to as Anecdotes and aims to either validate the claims
or prove them wrong through cross referencing other recorded findings about
Theodora. The context of this article focuses upon Empress Theodora. Empress

He references specific claims made by Procopius in Secret History and then to the
best of his ability discusses the position. He uses findings of contemporary experts
to support or refute the claims made against the Empress. By presenting the reader
with ample evidence he tries to validate the actions of Theodora, and analyze
instances where she may have not acted appropriately and abused her powerful
position as Empress. The research conducted by Mallet finds that in Procopius s
Secret History Theodora s private life is shoddily explained and in many instances
doesn t utilize facts that can be corroborated by any records of the time. He
suggests that the stories presented in Secret History of Theodora s life before
becoming empress are merely gossip and most likely based off rumors. Considering
no primary record survives of her life pre Empress Mallet suggests that one must
examine the facts and the evidence when deciding Theodora s character and not
conclude an opinion based off
How Did Elie Wiesel Change His Life
Elie Wiesel experienced an unfortunate experience that changed his life, and he
used it to change the lives of others. He brutally went through the holocaust, and his
life was never the same. He went through so much at a young age, and lived to tell
the tale. Wiesel was born in Sighet, Romania, September 1928 (United States
Holocaust Memorial Museum). He had a mom, dad, two older sisters, and a
younger sister. His parents names were Sarah and Sholomo, and his older sisters
names were Hilda and Bea. He thought that his family was rich. They had more
money than some of the kids at his school, but it was barely enough to get by. He
felt bad that he had more money than the other kids, so he gave them food from
home. Unaware that he was giving away the food that was keeping him and his
family alive (Moore, Lisa).... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
His mother and younger sister were killed in a gas chamber there (Nobelprize.org).
Wiesel lived with his Sholomo in Auschwitz as forced laborers. They had no choice
but to work for the Germans every day, for nothing (Bos, Carol). Wiesel and
Sholomo were moved to a concentration camp. It was some distance from Auschwitz
and they had to walk the whole way (Bos, Carol). When they arrived, Sholomo was
weak and starving. Sholomo passed away soon after they made it to the concentration

Media Consumption Of Media
The proliferation of media consumption in the digital age is an unspoken public
health crisis. While what it brings us is not without merit, the means by which we are
permitted to connect has transformed our relationship with the media into an abusive
one. The methods and channels by which we are allowed to consume mediahave been
constructed in such a fashion as to drive us towards unhealthy habits. We ve all
been placed in a collection of skinner boxes, most of us paying handsomely for the
privilege. There exists today in the world a grave and perilous danger, lurking
behind the limitless opportunity we ve presented to ourselves in what the media has
become. Without modern media we would be blind, but our modern habits allow us
to choose not to see humanity up close or in any way.
Almost every aspect of our American culture, from bacon and eggs at breakfast to
our engagement rituals to the holidays we celebrate, has been sewn into the fabric
of our lives by the media. Consumption of media has become a means unto itself,
an ouroboros like pattern from which we can find no respite or escape. We may
wish to totally extract ourselves from exposure to media directly but it is
impossible to avoid how it has soaked into our culture and even our daily habits
and rituals. Social norms are now rapidly adapting to the appropriate use of our
interface of infinite knowledge that may once and still be called a cell phone. Even
if we divorce ourselves from our phones we re still jumping
Analysis Of Sweetheart Of The Song Tra Bong In Things

Things They Carried Essay Anything can change a person if they are not ready for
that change. The short story Sweetheart of The Song Tra Bong, in Things They
Carried, by Tim O Brien represents this by showing change in Mary Anne, who is a
character the reader probably would not expect to see in a book about the Vietnam
War. There are many parts show the change in her from the average high school girl
she used to be into a predatory killer, but there is only one reason for her change, and
that is the war itself. The changes Mary Anne goes through in this story stand out
very clear. In the beginning, the quote that introduces Mary Anne is, ...she was
seventeen years old, fresh out of Cleveland Heights Senior High. She had long white
legs... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
You can t feel like that anywhere else (O Brien 111). Mary Anne is inevitably
drawn to the other side the other side in this case being the Vietnam War itself. She
is not completely part of it yet but she sure is fascinated by it, and will be part of it
soon. She displays the danger of throwing away all separation between herself and
the war. She is at the point where she wants to become one with the war. However
towards the end of the story, Mary Ann becomes a completely different person.
This can be shown perfectly in the quote, She had crossed to the other side. She
was part of the land. She was wearing her culottes, her pink sweater, and a necklace
of human tongues. She was dangerous. She was ready for the kill (O Brien 116).
Going back to the Vietnam War and its effect on Mary Anne. At this point, it can
be seen that Mary Anne has completely crossed over. She has a necklace of human
tongues, which is crazy weird. However, Mary Anne is still wearing her culottes
and her pink sweater, the very pieces of clothing that made her appear so American
at the beginning of the story. The reason for Mary Anne s change is not because of
the Vietnamese or even Vietnam, even though it appeared to be at the beginning. It s
the war itself. The war is half Vietnamese and half American. A example that shows
Mary Anne going through her change is in the quote, Mary Anne made you think
about those girls back home, how clean and innocent they all are, how they ll never

even though she is by herself, her father always told her that she should be strong
because she is just like her mother. The theme made this book more enjoyable to

Suicide Bombing Affects The World
Suicide bombing is a good tactic for terrorists, because it is only limited by the
terrorist group s imagination. The reason for this is because suicide bombing, can
be done in ways that can cause amazing effects on the local population in which the
attack happens. But the attack can also affect the world as a whole. Suicide attack
targets can vary greatly based on many factors including security, and fortifications.
Suicide bombings are not limited to only one gender, there have been both women
and men suicide bombers in the past. One of the best characteristics of suicide
bombing is that you are only limited by your imagination on how your attack can be
done. You can use a variety of methods and bomb technology to your advantage.
Some ideas of possible bomb technology could be a suicide vest that a person can
wear underneath their clothing and that cannot be found by metal detectors. Many
attempts at using suicide bombing within clothing have been failures however such
as the underwear bomber. Suicide bombing can also be done by using vehicles
packed with artillery shells for example.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

The threats could cost the business customers and money which will reflect on the

Accounts Receivable Controls
One of the main assets of an organization is the accounts receivable department. It is
a vital part of the organization. The information collected from start to the complete
of the accounts receivable cycle is important in making sure every step was
followed according to the proper procedures made by the organization. Setting up
new customers in the database system correctly is important when the credit and
billing process takes place. When customer orders are made on the customer s
account proper authorization is needed to safeguard unauthorized orders and the
ability to pay for good received (Louwers, Ramsay, Sinason, Strawser, 2007).
The separation of duties is significant to ensuring that not the same person is issuing
credit and billing the customer. Once the goods or services has been received and
verified for each customer the invoice can be printed. Distributing the monthly
statements for the customer accounts showing what activity was taken during the
month will help discover discrepancies if there are any made. The customer will

Theme Of Rage In The Thousand And One Nights
The Thousand and One Nights, is a frame tale, where there are stories within
stories, in which all the tales included have a connection. The overall frame of the
tale is the transformation of a good king to a tyrant, which was caused the
deception of his wife that invoked the King s anger by her infidelity. As the overall
tale continues, stories come into perspective and back up the main topic of the
story by using its own issues as examples. When reading the recurring theme in the
overall frame and the stories within the story is rage. There is a frequency in the
tales, in where an issue occurs then it enrages the subject, which causes a
consequence that affects the one at fault. Therefore, a lesson can be taken out of

Persuasive Articles on Gun Control Essays
Persuasive Articles on Gun Control
Persuading an audience can be done in several different fashions, one of which is
Hugh Rank s Model of Persuasion. Rank s model states that two major strategies are
used to achieve the particular goal of persuasion. These strategies are nicely set into
two main schemas; the first method is to exaggerate an aspect of something, known
as intensify. While the second is to discredit it, which is referred to as downplay. Al
Franken, Jeffrey Snyder, Harlan Ellison, and George Will, have all written
persuasive articles about gun control. In reading all of the various articles on gun
control by authors, I found George F. Will s The Last Word to be the most
persuasive. Will wrote his ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Franken was also able to downplay the usefulness of a firearm by including a series
of sarcastic tips for tragedy in a home. For example, 1. Keep the gun loaded... 2. Put
the gun in an unlocked drawer... 3. Rest assured. 1 Where Franken s article comes
up short is the use of hypothetical numbers to exaggerate and intensify the deadliness
of guns. His sarcasm adds diversity to his piece, but should be used sparingly.
Franken s conclusion causes his argument to lose its effectiveness, after building his
case it just seems ridiculous and out of place.
The least persuasive essay out of the four was Harlan Ellison s An Edge in My
Voice. Ellison presents his argument in a style that seems to me is more of a
disgruntled rambling about both famous and infamous people that die from gun shot,
than an article about gun control. Ellison spends the first few pages asking the reader
if they cried when a certain person died; he begins with famous people such as
Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy, and John Lennon, and then moves on to more
obscure examples. Instead of trying to build an argument, Ellison seemed to be more
caught up with anger and the notion of conspiracies. He does however try to use the
intensify technique of Rank s model, to persuade the reader of the horror of deaths
caused by guns and their importance. Although Ellison did try to persuade his
audience in a different manor, I felt it was ineffective at best,

He said that media is an extension of the human body, it represents the development
so that we understood that the development is needed now, in order to adapt to

Good communication is effective communication; it provides direction, a clear goal,
and encourages the flow of ideas. Successful communication is achieved through a
variety of methods, but most importantly, it begins with a foundation of security and
trust within the team. Successful Communication
Over the past few weeks my group has been using our group discussion board as our
primary method of communication. Since beginning our power point project we
have been posting updates, questions and simple check ins to see how each member
of the group is coming along with their portion of the PowerPoint assignment. Our
key to success has been because of our communication; this is especially important
because we are a virtual group. We touch base with each other regularly for multiple
reasons, the first being the need to establish a relationship.
In contrast to teams who meet face to face on a regular basis, we cannot pick up on
non verbal clues that are expressed through body language, nor are we able to
establish an emotional connection with one another; with that being said, we must
maintain regular contact in order to build a rapport. Secondly, regular communication
allowed us to report progress and drawbacks that may hinder our success. Moreover,
scheduling regular periods of communication enforced accountability by instituting
periodic milestones of progress.
In previous experiences I have had working in collaborative groups, in regard to the
importance of communication,
Summary Of Nancy Farmer s NovelThe House Of The
Scorpion
Nancy Farmer s novel, The House of the Scorpion, is set in the not too distant future
that is similar enough to our current world that it can be unsettling and eerie. It s like
the present but flipped upside down. The story walks us through places we know, but
are given different names, which throws the readerfor a loop. It s a bit uncanny to
think of places that are so familiar as different countries, with name like Opium and
Aztlan. As the reader travels through the story along with the characters, it becomes
clear that Nancy Farmerwanted her fictional world to resemble reality.
Further in the book, we come to learn that Opium is actually Arizona, the place that
Nancy Farmer was born. In the beginning of the novel, the readers are just as
confused as Matt, the main character, when it comes to the geography. Fortunately,
Matt comes across a book, A History of Opium, that informs both Matt and the
reader more about this new world: The MacGregors ruled the land near San Diego,
and the Alacrans had a vast empire stretching from central California all across
Arizona and into New Mexico. Gradually, Opium changes from no man s land to a
real country. And its supreme leader, dictator, and fuhrer was Matteo Alacran (169
170 Farmer). It also comes to our knowledge that Opium is a country ruled by drug
lords that is wedged in between the United States and Aztlan. It is also concluded
that Opium is a dry, desert like place. The only plant that grows there, aside from El

Witches And The Witch Trials
In Europe from the late fifteenth to early seventeenth centuries many people, both
men and women, were persecuted as witches. The reasons for the persecution of
individuals as witches included gender discrimination, religious fanaticism, an
explanation for the otherwise unexplainable events that took place, and even as a
way for secular officials to gain more wealth. Misogyny being a cause to the witch
trials may have resulted from the new roles of women in society conflicting with the
traditional views of women as sinful, and also accounts for why the majority of
individuals persecuted were women. A religious spark was ignited during the
Protestant Reformationas people became more religiously devoted and wanted to
eliminate threats to their faith, such as witches. Many strange occurrences such as
disease or even non harmful events that were simply unexplainable led people to
believe witches as the causes. Some people may have not even believed another
person to be a witch but may have just wanted wealth and that person s possessions
and declared them a witch for that reason. All these factors contributed to the period
now known as the witch craze, which resulted in the torture and death of many people.
One of the main factors in the persecution of witches comes from the men of the time
s misogynistic attitudes. During this time, women were beginning to take more
prominent roles in society, like the notable humanist Christine de Pizan or The First
Lady of the Renaissance,
College Athletes Should Be Paid Essay
NCAA, short for National Collegiate Athletic Association, is a non profit
organization which over watch all the athletic related activities on college level. In
the early 20th century, President Roosevelt created NCAA because he wanted to
insured college athletes from injuries and even deaths. Despite the original purpose
of the NCAA is not about money, it has become one of the most lucrative companies
in the USA. According to Taylor Branch, big time college sports are fully
commercialized. Billions of dollars flow through them each year. The NCAA makes
money, and enables universities and corporations to make money, from the unpaid
labor of young athletes (Branch). Besides the tremendous fortune these college
athletes made for the NCAA, it is also a vital source for university entertainment,
enrollment, and money. Although these athletes generate great fortune and put up
great shows for society, they do not receive proper pay back. To balance the current
unfair compensation system to the athletes, in addition to free tuition, college
athletes should be treated as workers in a business market system and paid
depending on their own performance. One of the biggest challenges paying college
athletes is the legal power of the term student athlete. When President Roosevelt
created the NCAA to protect young athletes, he also emphasized that the NCAA
would serve a secondary purpose in ensuring ―no student shall represent a college
or university in any intercollegiate game . .

however maintains control of the patient. This chain of command is for the
protection of all involved in the recovery and transplant process.
In this situation the organ bank was challenging the diagnosis of brain death made
by a member of the professional staff of AMH. Not only was there a challenge but
it was being made by some one other then a doctor. Only a doctor can pronounce a
patient dead. So here was another dilemma in that there was a challenge to the
doctor s diagnosis being made by a nurse. This in it self goes against the State
Nursing Rules for licensure. Nurses are not allowed to diagnosis nor practice
medicine.
The transplant coordinator nurse needed the support of the organ bank s medical
staff. The organ bank s medical staff was not on scene and thus had to take the word
of the transplant coordinator.
In this case the transplant coordinator could have just continued with the recovery
and not said anything. The coordinator could have
Essay on Odgen v Gibbons (1824)
During the eighteen hundreds how did the simple transportation device of steamboats
affect the political makeup in the United States government? Throughout the
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the use of steamboats grew heavily
throughout the nation of the United States, as well as world wide. During this time
the United Stateswas in desperate need of a new sufficient source of transportation, the
steamboatallowed a large expansion of the growing nation, through its many natural
waterways, as well as man made canals that were soon constructed. Serving as a great
tool for businesses and the development of the United States economically and
socially, these vessels also contributed to the evolution of the government and its...

It is believed by many people that Robert Fulton was the first to invent the
steamboat, although he was truly the one to create the first competent vessel,
designed and created well enough to make decent voyages, including fighting
currents. In the oncoming future, there were still plenty of modifications to be
made, but Fulton along with Robert R. Livingston brought their new steam ship
plans to the United States from France; after Livingston obtained a New York state
steam boat monopoly, in hope to control the water ways of one of the largest ports
of the time. In 1798 Livingston received this monopoly allowing him the exclusive
ability of navigating all boats that might be propelled by steam, on all waters within
the territory, or jurisdiction of the State, for the term of twenty years. Not only did
this act give Fulton and Livingston the complete control of navigating the waters of
New York State but the ability to also seize any other vessel operated by others with
out the license that only these two men could distribute as well as the collecting of a
fine for the penalty of operating a vessel against the law. The partnership and
monopolistic control of Livingston and Fulton began on the maiden voyage of their
one hundred and fifty foot steamship known as the Clermont on August 18, 1807. It
was an immediate success as the partners were not only able to meet their
expectations of completing

Battling the Yarnell Hill Fire in Arizona
While dangerous work like firefighting often requires decisive and quick action
against one of nature s most destructive elements, do the inherent risks of
firefighting justify risky decision making by officials? In this dangerous and often
daring line of work, when is the line between protecting the public and protecting
public employees crossed and who is responsible when that line is crossed?
On June 30, 2013, 19 members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, an Interagency
Hotshot Crew (IHC) of 20 elite firefighters, lost their lives battling the Yarnell Hill
Fire near Yarnell, Arizona. An initial investigation conducted by the Arizona State
Forestry Division (ASFD) found some communication problems but overall declared
the Yarnell Hill Fire a no fault tragedy, focusing largely on the actions of the Granite
Mountain Hotshots who, according to the investigation, made an unknown and last
minute decision to move from a safety zone to an area closer to the wildfire (leading
to their deaths).
However, several months later, another investigation conducted by the Arizona
Division of Occupational Safety and Health (ADOSH) declared the ASFD
responsible for the deaths of the 19 firefighters. ADOSH admonished the ASFD for
putting the value of property above people and fined the ASFD $559,000 for three
violations per В§ A.R.S. 23 403(A). An explanation has also been given for why the
Granite Mountain Hotshots moved from their safety zone: The firefighters were
asked if they could

  • 2. Summary Of On Dumpster Diving In 1993, Lars Eighner, a homeless college dropout, published his memoir titled Travels with Lizbeth. Within, an essay titled On Dumpster Diving shares his experiences and how they define his identity. Eighner views identity not solely on his status of a scavenger, but rather on how his experiences shape his identity and how he acts despite his circumstances. Similarly, as a student, my own identity is not based on my status, but rather on how my behavior is shaped in my situations. The identities of individuals are defined by how they live, how they react, and how they behave in all circumstances, not on their status or profession. Throughout Eighner s essay, he utilizes various strategies to explain the process of Dumpster divingand how his personal experiences have shaped his own identity. Starting with a narrative, the author describes his passion for Dumpsters and his financial reasons for becoming a scavenger. Transitioning into a didactic tone, Eighner then defines various terms surrounding this idea of Dumpsterdiving and contrasts the meaning of a scavenger and scrounger. To him, scavenging is a sound and honorable niche (55), while scrounging is crude and demeaning. After comparing the motives of Dumpster divers with average people, he discusses various foods found in Dumpsters and the processes needed to ensure safe and healthy consumption. With a negative attitude towards ignorant college students and wasteful consumers, Eighner begins
  • 3. College Admissions Essay-Personal Narrative-Rowing Team For the first time in our small rowing club s history, we made it to the finals in what was our biggest regatta of the season. Unfortunately, our boat came in dead last...by a lot. We felt bad enough, but the last thing I expected was the outburst by one of the veterans. Having only a few months of rowing experience, I assumed his yelling at us was directed at me and my novice teammates. The scenario of confronting him was running through my head. By the time we stacked the boat back on the trailer, the thoughts myriad of thoughts through my mind were spoken. I spoke in a tone that my teammates have never seen before. I even surprised myself with how I stood up and defended myself and the other newer members. Confronting my teammate was not something I would have done when I first joined the team. In fact, speaking out wasn t something I had the confidence to do. In 9th grade Earth Science I would never raise my hand to answer a question to identify the type of rock as limestone, afraid of the possible embarrassment of getting it wrong. Even when I was sure of the answer, the anxiety of projecting my voice was lingering in my thoughts. It got to the point where my grades started to slip for not only low class ...

I was building a lot of social confidence; I was determined to get that same confidence in the classroom. I had the mindset of putting my education before hanging out with friends. Speaking up in the classroom started to become more natural to me. I discovered I was good at mastering small details and became intrigued by specific topics like the creation of the United States Federal Reserve. Though I still am rarely the first to jump into a conversation in the classroom, I always look for opportunities to display the intellect I kept silent for so
  • 4. Stopping Deforestation In The Amazon Deforestation is a permanent destruction of forests, and an estimated of 18 millions acres of forest is destroyed every year. In recent decades, the forest is losing at a rapid rate, and deforestation is a man made problem because human cut down trees for economic development and social development. Governments and environmental agencies have recognized the problems of deforestation, and they set up different policies to regulate business companies and manufacturers for furthering damage the forest. One of the most outstanding policies is to restrict illegal commercial activities in public forest areas, and new policies of reclaiming unregistered forest land and regulating activities on private forest are also effective methods to stop deforestation. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... One of the regulation that Brazilian government and environmentalists put on regulating deforestation is restricting commercial use of cutting forest. In Jeff Tollefson s article, Battle for the Amazon, he states federal government designated areas in the Amazon basin for protection, cracked down on ranchers, farmers and land speculators, and put pressure on local government, while environmentalists ramped up campaigns against companies that were exporting beef, leather, and soya beans from illegally cleared land . From here, we see both government agencies and environmentalists have actively put effect on stopping illegal deforestation in Amazon forest, and the result is remarkable. In the latter paragraph, it states Brazil has lowered its carbon dioxide output more than any other country through a historic effort to slow forest loss. The deforestation rate here last years was roughly 75% below the average for 1996 to 2005 just shy of Brazil s pledge to achieve an 80% reduction by 2020. In other words, it can be said that the policy on restricting illegal activities in Amazon forest is workable for stopping deforestation, and government should strengthen the enforcement on
  • 5. Walt Disneyland Research Paper One day Walt Disney had a vision. It was a vision of a place where children and parents could have fun together. The more Walt dreamed of a magical park, the more imaginative and elaborate it became (justdisney.com). This vision that Walt Disney had was the vision of one of the most well known places on earth, Disneyland. Originally, he planned for the park to cover an area of 8 acres where his employees and families could go to relax. However, World War II halted these plans that he had, which ultimately gave him more time to come up with more ideas for this vision, and he came to the quick realization that 8 acres was not nearly enough. Finally in 1953, he had the Stanford Research Institute conduct a survey for a 100 acre site, outside of Los Angeles. He needed space to build rivers, waterfalls, and mountains; he would have flying elephants and giant teacups; a fairy tale castle, moon rockets, and a scenic railway; all inside a magic kingdom he called Disneyland (justdisney.com). To him, location was his top priority, and it would have to be in the Los Angeles area, while also being accessible by freeway, as well as affordable as he did not have much money at the time. The search for the best spot finally ended in the rural Anaheim, Californiawith a purchase of a 160 acre orange grove near the junction of the Santa Ana Freeway (I 5) and Harbor Boulevard (justdisney.com). This would obviously be an expensive project so Walt had to turn to television for his
  • 6. Antiperstra Informative Speech Antiperspirant Intel: 5 Myths You Need to Know Know Sweat: Falsehoods and Facts You Probably Don t Know About Antiperspirants...But Should! By Merilee Kern, MBA Sweat understandably gets a bad rap. It can ruin our hair; our clothes; our furniture; our mood; our image at home, work and socially; our ability to exercise, play music and handle gadgets; and far more. And while men tend to sweat more than women under normal circumstances, both genders are equally impacted by hyperhidrosis a serious medical condition causing people to sweat excessively (up to 4 or 5 times more than normal). In fact, according to the International Hyperhidrosis Society the scholars of sweat nearly 367 million people of all ages struggle with hyperhidrosis on their hands, feet, face, underarms, or body. Those living with hyperhidrosis suffer from extreme, uncomfortable, embarrassing, and emotionally devastating sweating. In fact, an infographic from Dermira an innovative biotech dedicated to developing treatments for chronic skin conditions is rife with scary hyperhidrosis statistics and sheds revealing light on this debilitating sweat inducing condition. Whether you sweat situationally at a normal level or have clinical hyperhidrosis, there s one shared weapon: antiperspirants. Love them or hate them, pretty much all of us need or could certainly benefit from them. But buyer beware; all antiperspirants are not created equal. And some misnomers exist about antiperspirants that are

He was the only son of a prominent farmer, who was also named Isaac Newton, but died about three months prior to his son s birth date. Newton was credited for his phenomenal scientific discoveries during the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century. In his early years, his mother married a prominent minister and went on to live with this minister, leaving Newton behind to live with his maternal grandmother. Later in life, Newton was reunited with his mother. It was speculated that Newton suffered from depression and anxiety issues as a result of his abandonment. Newton attended Cambridge University in the 1860 s but as a result of the plague, the university was closed
  • 8. Maggot Fly Experiment Each female fly can lay over 9,000 eggs. The eggs are white and are about 1.2 mm in length. Within a day, the larvae (maggots) hatch from the eggs; they live and feed in (usually dead and decaying) organic material, such as garbage or faeces. They are pale whitish, 3 9 mm long, thinner at the mouth end, and have no legs. At the end of their thirdinstar, the maggots crawl to a dry cool place and transform into pupae, coloured reddish or brown and about 8 mm long. The adult flies then emerge from the pupae. (This whole cycle is known as complete metamorphosis.) The adults live from half a month to a month in the wild, or longer in benign laboratory conditions. After having emerged from the pupae, the flies cease to grow; small flies are not

When he was thirteen he received a pocket watch, he then proceeded to take it apart, and then reassemble it. People heard about his skill with watches, and started asking him to fix theirs. He even made his own tools out of nails, and a corset stay. When he got a little older he got a few boys together to build simple water wheels and steam engines. He gained a lot of his knowledge about steam engines by becoming friends with the men that ran them. When he was 16, he realized farming just wasn t for him, and left home to become an apprentice to a machinist who manufactured railroad cars. He quickly realized that he didn t ...

He called it the Ford Quadricycle. Soon he d be presenting his idea to Thomas Edison, where he would encourage him to make a better model. He got together a group of businessmen to help him with this. He learned how to do everything he did by using trial and error. His experience with his new business was the same way, but with this method comes failure which Ford soon learned. He didn t give up easily though, the more he failed the bigger the risk that he wanted to take. Which is why he began building, and driving race cars. This brought just the right kind of attention in from the right kind of people. A few tries later and, Ford established his own company in 1903, Ford Motor Company. In 1907, he created a four cylinder, known as the Model N. It was $600, and soon became the best selling car in America. That wasn t enough for him. He wanted to make a better, cheaper vehicle, in 1908 he released the Ford Model T. This model was made with nine different body styles. Soon, half of all the cars in America would be the Model T s. Later, the company would move to a bigger factory. He wanted to increase production and lower cost. He began observing many different kinds of jobs, and combined the ideas he got from them with his own, and soon got the idea of a moving assembly line for automobiles. He wasn t the first to think of the assembly line, but he was the first to think of it to manufacture an

How Arthur Conan Doyle Creates an Atmosphere of Mystery and Builds Suspense in The Speckled Band In many of Holmes adventures, Conan Doyle used a successful personal formula to create mystery and build suspense, and The Speckled Band is no exception. Watson begins the story by stating that he cannot recall any case that represented more singular features than that of the one he is about to narrate. Despite this rather impressive beginning, analysis of the other adventures reveals that this is the fairly standard opening for Conan Doyle. The reader then learns that The Speckled Band is about the assistance that Holmes provided to a helpless young woman, by the name of Miss Helen ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In Miss Sutherland s case, her stepfather gets away his mischief as the law cannot touch [him]; knowledge of this case may intrigue the reader into wanting to know whether the results will also be the same on this occasion. Helen Stoner then starts her story with only vague details of her dilemma. Her lack of precision can be said to be deliberate on the part of the author as it gives rise to questions like Why can t she stand the strain no longer ? How is she being strained? Who is he who cares for her? Why has she aged so quickly? What is the terror and fear that makes her shiver? Similarly, Arthur Conan Doyletakes focus to comment on the clients weary and haggard expression rather than the actual case so as to give as little mystery solving information as possible but still maintain the readers interest through arousing their concern for Miss Stoner s situation. This prompts the reader to read on and find out how Holmes can be of assistance to this woman and help throw a little light through the dense darkness which surrounds [her] . Miss Stoner s fears [that] are so vague, suspicions[that] depend entirely on small points, are trivial are a key feature of Holmes method of solving the case with his deductive reasonings and observations. He uses this method in many; if not all of his cases as he himself informs us that it has been a long axiom

Admittedly, I find it a little odd to be writing some much boasting on myself, but if that s what it takes for this scholarship, I will.) I am the prime candidate for this STEM Leadership scholarship for many reasons, the greatest of which I would say is that I plan to study something at the heart of STEM: cyber engineering. This major is the epitome of what STEM stands for; technology is becoming more and more integrated into our daily lives and studying this major will not only help me to stay up to date with the trends that will come (and inevitably go), but will also give me the skills and knowledge to potentially develop my own ideas into something that people can integrate into their everyday lives.

He was the one who invented Genes! (Or What we call nowadays Jeans.) Here is some back information about Levi Strauss life. He was born February 26, 1829, in the city of Buttenheim, Germany. He has six siblings and he was the youngest. Growing up in Germany for him was hard because he was Jewish. When Levi was sixteen, his father passed away from a disease. This was the time where he moved to America. After a few years, the Gold Rush came into play. He decided that it would be good opportunity to make a business. So he moved to California to find some inspiration. In the 1850 s he moved from New York to California where he opened a shop selling supplies to miners.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

In a matter of time, Strauss was working so hard for everyone to get at least one pair. Soon he edited his pants once again and started to use blue denim (Which are pronounced Genes in French but in English it is Jeans ) for his pants. Then soon in 1872, Jacob Davis, a Nevada Tailor, sent a letter. He requested something that he couldn t do. Adding rivets or what we know, pockets. Jacob didn t have the money to complete the patent process so he decided to tell Strauss. And so, the jeans we know and love were

Using stage directions in the play, William hints that Blanche is not who she appears to be while the movie subtly sheds light on Blanche s strange little habits that suggests a bigger issue.

Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... By showing his readers the downfall of depending on men, Tennessee Williamsis sending out a clear message to women to stand up for themselves and to be independent. In contrast, the movie supports independence by having Stella stand up for her newborn baby and herself by leaving Stanley. Why the stark difference you ask? Back in the 1950s, the rape scene was considered controversial and taboo so the director Elia Kazan was forced to punish Stanley by having his wife leave him at the end of the film. Even the slight suggestion of a rape scene necessitated Stanley s punishment. Realistically, Stella would ve stayed with Stanley because she had no support for herself or the baby. Blanche s and Stella s reliance on men and inability to support themselves are used to illustrate the subliminal pressure for women to follow society s norms. Women without men are seen as weak, and those who break away from their rigid social classes are looked down upon. Since these social norms have been instilled into Blanche, she believes that she has to have a man fawn over her feet at all times. She realizes that she is aging and thus by engaging in sexual trysts with men, she thinks that she is still wanted and that she still has a place in society despite her current status.

  • 21. The German Stereotype Of The United States The German Stereotype in the United States? As we covered in our workshop America has had a large population of Germans for a very long time. While we were discussing German immigration and emigration, the question that stuck out to me was how did the views of the other groups in America effect how the Germans were accepted and viewed in the United States. Different times and issues have changed how Germans were viewed in America, for example both world wars and the following strong anti German stance. While these times of strong emotion often change people s outlook, I would argue that the positive or more neutral impression of German immigrants compared to other immigrant groups, helped Germans settle in America. While times of strong emotion often change people s outlook, German immigrants with their slightly positive or more neutral stereotypes or ideas, helped Germans settle in America with fewer problems than other immigrants. In our class and in other media outlooks we have often seen the stereotypes that immigrants are placed in and how these can be especially damaging in the move to the United States. These immigrants are uprooting their old lives for a new world and work. So it would have to be hard to get off the boat or ship and have all of these expectations piled on top of a confusing new country with strange traditions. Life was often hard in the United States and not quite what many immigrants expected but breaking free of others stereotypes of their

He uses findings of contemporary experts to support or refute the claims made against the Empress. By presenting the reader with ample evidence he tries to validate the actions of Theodora, and analyze instances where she may have not acted appropriately and abused her powerful position as Empress. The research conducted by Mallet finds that in Procopius s Secret History Theodora s private life is shoddily explained and in many instances doesn t utilize facts that can be corroborated by any records of the time. He suggests that the stories presented in Secret History of Theodora s life before becoming empress are merely gossip and most likely based off rumors.

While what it brings us is not without merit, the means by which we are permitted to connect has transformed our relationship with the media into an abusive one. The methods and channels by which we are allowed to consume mediahave been constructed in such a fashion as to drive us towards unhealthy habits. We ve all been placed in a collection of skinner boxes, most of us paying handsomely for the privilege. There exists today in the world a grave and perilous danger, lurking behind the limitless opportunity we ve presented to ourselves in what the media has become. Without modern media we would be blind, but our modern habits allow us to choose not to see humanity up close or in any way. Almost every aspect of our American culture, from bacon and eggs at breakfast to our engagement rituals to the holidays we celebrate, has been sewn into the fabric of our lives by the media. Consumption of media has become a means unto itself, an ouroboros like pattern from which we can find no respite or escape. We may wish to totally extract ourselves from exposure to media directly but it is impossible to avoid how it has soaked into our culture and even our daily habits and rituals. Social norms are now rapidly adapting to the appropriate use of our interface of infinite knowledge that may once and still be called a cell phone.

Mary Anne is inevitably drawn to the other side the other side in this case being the Vietnam War itself. She is not completely part of it yet but she sure is fascinated by it, and will be part of it soon. She displays the danger of throwing away all separation between herself and the war. She is at the point where she wants to become one with the war. However towards the end of the story, Mary Ann becomes a completely different person. This can be shown perfectly in the quote, She had crossed to the other side. She was part of the land. She was wearing her culottes, her pink sweater, and a necklace of human tongues. She was dangerous. She was ready for the kill (O Brien 116). Going back to the Vietnam War and its effect on Mary Anne. At this point, it can be seen that Mary Anne has completely crossed over. She has a necklace of human tongues, which is crazy weird. However, Mary Anne is still wearing her culottes and her pink sweater, the very pieces of clothing that made her appear so American at the beginning of the story. The reason for Mary Anne s change is not because of the Vietnamese or even Vietnam, even though it appeared to be at the beginning. It s the war itself. The war is half Vietnamese and half American. A example that shows Mary Anne going through her change is in the quote, Mary Anne made you think about those girls back home, how clean and innocent they all are, how they ll never

  • 35. Theme Of Rage In The Thousand And One Nights The Thousand and One Nights, is a frame tale, where there are stories within stories, in which all the tales included have a connection. The overall frame of the tale is the transformation of a good king to a tyrant, which was caused the deception of his wife that invoked the King s anger by her infidelity. As the overall tale continues, stories come into perspective and back up the main topic of the story by using its own issues as examples. When reading the recurring theme in the overall frame and the stories within the story is rage. There is a frequency in the tales, in where an issue occurs then it enrages the subject, which causes a consequence that affects the one at fault. Therefore, a lesson can be taken out of the the tale as a form of knowledge and progression. Analyzation of the theme of rage can be done throughout the frame tales of The Thousand and One Nights. The Thousand and One Nights, is the story of King Shahrayar, where King Shahrayar sees before his own eyes his wife cheating on him with a black slave and also his ten slave girls sleeping with other men.

  • 36. Persuasive Articles on Gun Control Essays Persuasive Articles on Gun Control Persuading an audience can be done in several different fashions, one of which is Hugh Rank s Model of Persuasion. Rank s model states that two major strategies are used to achieve the particular goal of persuasion. These strategies are nicely set into two main schemas; the first method is to exaggerate an aspect of something, known as intensify. While the second is to discredit it, which is referred to as downplay. Al Franken, Jeffrey Snyder, Harlan Ellison, and George Will, have all written persuasive articles about gun control. In reading all of the various articles on gun control by authors, I found George F. Will s The Last Word to be the most persuasive. Will wrote his ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Franken was also able to downplay the usefulness of a firearm by including a series of sarcastic tips for tragedy in a home. For example, 1. Keep the gun loaded... 2. Put the gun in an unlocked drawer... 3. Rest assured. 1 Where Franken s article comes up short is the use of hypothetical numbers to exaggerate and intensify the deadliness of guns. His sarcasm adds diversity to his piece, but should be used sparingly. Franken s conclusion causes his argument to lose its effectiveness, after building his case it just seems ridiculous and out of place. The least persuasive essay out of the four was Harlan Ellison s An Edge in My Voice. Ellison presents his argument in a style that seems to me is more of a disgruntled rambling about both famous and infamous people that die from gun shot, than an article about gun control. Ellison spends the first few pages asking the reader if they cried when a certain person died; he begins with famous people such as Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy, and John Lennon, and then moves on to more obscure examples. Instead of trying to build an argument, Ellison seemed to be more caught up with anger and the notion of conspiracies. He does however try to use the intensify technique of Rank s model, to persuade the reader of the horror of deaths caused by guns and their importance. Although Ellison did try to persuade his audience in a different manor, I felt it was ineffective at best,

Successful communication is achieved through a variety of methods, but most importantly, it begins with a foundation of security and trust within the team. Successful Communication Over the past few weeks my group has been using our group discussion board as our primary method of communication. Since beginning our power point project we have been posting updates, questions and simple check ins to see how each member of the group is coming along with their portion of the PowerPoint assignment. Our key to success has been because of our communication; this is especially important because we are a virtual group. We touch base with each other regularly for multiple reasons, the first being the need to establish a relationship. In contrast to teams who meet face to face on a regular basis, we cannot pick up on non verbal clues that are expressed through body language, nor are we able to establish an emotional connection with one another; with that being said, we must maintain regular contact in order to build a rapport. Secondly, regular communication allowed us to report progress and drawbacks that may hinder our success. Moreover, scheduling regular periods of communication enforced accountability by instituting periodic milestones of progress. In previous experiences I have had working in collaborative groups, in regard to the importance of communication,

Summary Of Nancy Farmer s NovelThe House Of The Scorpion Nancy Farmer s novel, The House of the Scorpion, is set in the not too distant future that is similar enough to our current world that it can be unsettling and eerie. It s like the present but flipped upside down. The story walks us through places we know, but are given different names, which throws the readerfor a loop. It s a bit uncanny to think of places that are so familiar as different countries, with name like Opium and Aztlan. As the reader travels through the story along with the characters, it becomes clear that Nancy Farmerwanted her fictional world to resemble reality. Further in the book, we come to learn that Opium is actually Arizona, the place that Nancy Farmer was born. In the beginning of the novel, the readers are just as confused as Matt, the main character, when it comes to the geography. Fortunately, Matt comes across a book, A History of Opium, that informs both Matt and the reader more about this new world: The MacGregors ruled the land near San Diego, and the Alacrans had a vast empire stretching from central California all across Arizona and into New Mexico. Gradually, Opium changes from no man s land to a real country. And its supreme leader, dictator, and fuhrer was Matteo Alacran (169 170 Farmer). It also comes to our knowledge that Opium is a country ruled by drug lords that is wedged in between the United States and Aztlan. It is also concluded that Opium is a dry, desert like place.

  • 40. Witches And The Witch Trials In Europe from the late fifteenth to early seventeenth centuries many people, both men and women, were persecuted as witches. The reasons for the persecution of individuals as witches included gender discrimination, religious fanaticism, an explanation for the otherwise unexplainable events that took place, and even as a way for secular officials to gain more wealth. Misogyny being a cause to the witch trials may have resulted from the new roles of women in society conflicting with the traditional views of women as sinful, and also accounts for why the majority of individuals persecuted were women. A religious spark was ignited during the Protestant Reformationas people became more religiously devoted and wanted to eliminate threats to their faith, such as witches. Many strange occurrences such as disease or even non harmful events that were simply unexplainable led people to believe witches as the causes. Some people may have not even believed another person to be a witch but may have just wanted wealth and that person s possessions and declared them a witch for that reason. All these factors contributed to the period now known as the witch craze, which resulted in the torture and death of many people. One of the main factors in the persecution of witches comes from the men of the time s misogynistic attitudes. During this time, women were beginning to take more prominent roles in society, like the notable humanist Christine de Pizan or The First Lady of the Renaissance,
  • 41. College Athletes Should Be Paid Essay NCAA, short for National Collegiate Athletic Association, is a non profit organization which over watch all the athletic related activities on college level. In the early 20th century, President Roosevelt created NCAA because he wanted to insured college athletes from injuries and even deaths. Despite the original purpose of the NCAA is not about money, it has become one of the most lucrative companies in the USA. According to Taylor Branch, big time college sports are fully commercialized. Billions of dollars flow through them each year. The NCAA makes money, and enables universities and corporations to make money, from the unpaid labor of young athletes (Branch). Besides the tremendous fortune these college athletes made for the NCAA, it is also a vital source for university entertainment, enrollment, and money. Although these athletes generate great fortune and put up great shows for society, they do not receive proper pay back. To balance the current unfair compensation system to the athletes, in addition to free tuition, college athletes should be treated as workers in a business market system and paid depending on their own performance. One of the biggest challenges paying college athletes is the legal power of the term student athlete. When President Roosevelt created the NCAA to protect young athletes, he also emphasized that the NCAA would serve a secondary purpose in ensuring ―no student shall represent a college or university in any intercollegiate game . .

The hospital however maintains control of the patient. This chain of command is for the protection of all involved in the recovery and transplant process. In this situation the organ bank was challenging the diagnosis of brain death made by a member of the professional staff of AMH. Not only was there a challenge but it was being made by some one other then a doctor. Only a doctor can pronounce a patient dead.

It is believed by many people that Robert Fulton was the first to invent the steamboat, although he was truly the one to create the first competent vessel, designed and created well enough to make decent voyages, including fighting currents. In the oncoming future, there were still plenty of modifications to be made, but Fulton along with Robert R. Livingston brought their new steam ship plans to the United States from France; after Livingston obtained a New York state steam boat monopoly, in hope to control the water ways of one of the largest ports of the time. In 1798 Livingston received this monopoly allowing him the exclusive ability of navigating all boats that might be propelled by steam, on all waters within the territory, or jurisdiction of the State, for the term of twenty years. Not only did this act give Fulton and Livingston the complete control of navigating the waters of New York State but the ability to also seize any other vessel operated by others with out the license that only these two men could distribute as well as the collecting of a fine for the penalty of operating a vessel against the law. The partnership and monopolistic control of Livingston and Fulton began on the maiden voyage of their one hundred and fifty foot steamship known as the Clermont on August 18, 1807.

Battling the Yarnell Hill Fire in Arizona While dangerous work like firefighting often requires decisive and quick action against one of nature s most destructive elements, do the inherent risks of firefighting justify risky decision making by officials? In this dangerous and often daring line of work, when is the line between protecting the public and protecting public employees crossed and who is responsible when that line is crossed? On June 30, 2013, 19 members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, an Interagency Hotshot Crew (IHC) of 20 elite firefighters, lost their lives battling the Yarnell Hill Fire near Yarnell, Arizona. An initial investigation conducted by the Arizona State Forestry Division (ASFD) found some communication problems but overall declared the Yarnell Hill Fire a no fault tragedy, focusing largely on the actions of the Granite Mountain Hotshots who, according to the investigation, made an unknown and last minute decision to move from a safety zone to an area closer to the wildfire (leading to their deaths). However, several months later, another investigation conducted by the Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health (ADOSH) declared the ASFD responsible for the deaths of the 19 firefighters. ADOSH admonished the ASFD for putting the value of property above people and fined the ASFD $559,000 for three violations per В§ A.R.S. 23 403(A). An explanation has also been given for why the Granite Mountain Hotshots moved from their safety zone: The firefighters were asked if they could
