2. All three warehouse club rivals have some similarities and some differences. They all maintained the goal of selling top-quality merchandise at low prices. They have a few differences when it comes to pricing, merchandising, advertising and growth. Costco stands out because their markups and prices were only fractionally above the level needed to cover expenses and operating costs. They also use a treasure hunt method for merchandising that is unique to them. Much money is not spent of advertising for Costco or Sams like for BJ’s, and their growth strategy is to build more warehouses and build membership base. Costco appears to have the best strategy, it just seems to be more thought out and planned. BJ’s has the weaker strategy, if you base it off of numbers. If they did not have such successful competitors then their strategy could work well.…

People may think of fruit as a sweet, healthy option for a snack. What those people do not know is that some of those fruits can be very damaging to their teeth and to their bodies. One reason for this is that a variety of commonly digested fruits are extremely acidic. This experiment will test the pH level of everyday fruits to see how acidic they actually are. When eaten, which fruit will have the lowest pH (be the most acidic)?…

African American and supporter of the Union, Alfred M. Green, delivered a speech to fellow African Americans during the first month of the Civil War in 1868 Philadelphia. Green’s purpose in this speech is to persuade and convince other African Americans with the same political beliefs as him to prepare to eventually join the Union forces. Green adopts a patriotic, religious and solemn but yet, sarcastic, tone in order to illustrate that while African Americans were not legally permitted to enlist in the army, they should still strive to prepare to enlist as soon as the legal right to fight for their country and against slavery was given to African American men, as well as to speak briefly about the injustice shown to African Americans before and during the Civil War.…
“Taking AP English Language and Composition is a worthwhile experience as it can cultivate in students powerful skills and abilities that permit them to think bilaterally, read deeply, and write efficaciously.” -Mr. Alper…
At first it seemed as if my summer was never going to end. I was spending up to eight hours a day learning material. I had made friends around my grandparents neighborhood, which made my time miserable. Not to mention they lived next to a beautiful park. My parents were insistent on me spending my time with my books, which ultimately payed off in the end. At the end of summer I was reading two…
2011: In a novel by William Styron, a father tells his son that life “is a search for justice.” Choose a character from a novel or play who responds in some significant way to justice or injustice. Then write a well-developed essay in which you analyze the character’s understanding of justice, the degree to which the character’s search for justice is successful, and the significance of this search for the work as a whole. 2010: Palestinian American literary theorist and cultural critic Edward Said has written that “Exile is strangely compelling to think about but terrible to experience. It is the unhealable rift forced between a human being and a native place, between the self and its true home: its essential sadness can never be surmounted.” Yet Said has also said that exile can become “a potent, even enriching” experience. Select a novel, play, or epic in which a character experiences such a rift and becomes cut off from “home,” whether that home is the character’s birthplace, family, homeland, or other special place. Then write an essay in which you analyze how the character’s experience with exile is both alienating and enriching, and how this experience illuminates the meaning of the work as a whole. 2009: A symbol is an object, action, or event that represents something or that creates a range of associations beyond itself. In literary works a symbol can express an idea, clarify meaning, or enlarge literal meaning. Select a novel or play and, focusing on one symbol, write an essay analyzing how that symbol functions in the work and what it reveals about the characters or themes of the work as a whole. Do not merely summarize the plot. 2008: In a literary work, a minor character, often known as a foil, possesses traits that emphasize, by contrast or comparison, the distinctive characteristics and qualities of the main character. For example, the ideas or behavior of the minor character might be used to highlight the…

To start with, I appreciate your accounts you have provided, regarding your experience you have encountered while attending Liberty University, as a psychology undergraduate. Also, your illustration of Harris, provides powerful confirmation, regarding exercising the mind. However, I diligently read your thoughts about comprehending the theories of Algebra and not being able to clench the information. My reply would be, give it all to God and allow Him to use you. And, by talking to Him, you are developing a personal relationship with Him. What is more, Jesus desires your attention. For that reason, applying these techniques will assist with your fears of Algebra and enable you to understand the course. Do you agree? Lastly,…
After sitting at the same desk for three years, I figured I was beyond seeing anything new. I was wrong. It was the beginning of the school year and I was hoping I would pass twelfth grade so I could try to go to college but right now chances looked slim. I am the classic couch potato, plump like a pig and lazy, that was why I couldn't pass. Over time I began to realize that I would need to alter my ways or I would spend a miserable life. I resolved to lift weights and run every day and get into shape and try a lot harder in school. I was fit and I had never played sports, so when school came I joined the football team. I studied the playbook hard and memorized the plays so that when they called a play I instantly saw what was going to…

She successfully supports her claim by using authority (ethos) and values (pathos) to explain her claim and why she feels so strongly about this situation. According to the census,…
B. White’s essay he describes a dual existence he has with his son when spending time at this lake. In some ways White is facing an identity crisis when he has a hard time distinguishing between himself and his son. The essay moves in a non- chronological order where White weaves in and out through the past and present. While at the lake, in its essence remains unchanged, White himself is different, and so he finally accepts the fundamental irony of life. The natural cycle of birth, childhood, maturity, and death are inevitable, he too realizes he is facing the natural course that leads to the chill of…
By growing up in a house of athletes, I always was involved in some type of sport. Whether it be tennis, baseball, football, or even a game of amateur soccer, I was just so grateful to be away from school work. As I still wander the halls of Northwestern, I often reflect back on my life, and how far I’ve come to this point that I’m at today. I can say that my work ethic never caught up until my junior year. That’s when “life” really dawned on me.…
