John Brown's Argumentative Essay
John and his three other siblings grew up in an incredibly religious home. Both of his parents were deep believers that America was God’s way to let Christ return to Earth, and slavery was the only thing preventing this. Growing up learning all of their beliefs, this eventually led him to believe that all of the crimes he was committing were okay, since this was God’s mission for him and his family. Brown’s mission began when he was just 12 years old, and witnessed a slave killed by his owner. It was this moment where he swore to himself that he would fight against slavery.

    Imagine seeing an average West Valley student that uses his phone and watches television in moderation and completes his homework. Now meet Quinton Schafer, a self proclaimedself-proclaimed screen abuser. Schafer confessed to using his computer for several hours a week on a school night. His screen time doubles on weekends to about twelve hours. Since he attends West Valley High School he must also juggle school work and his athletics. The result is that he is unable to do all of this and must sacrifice time to pursue his computer habits. Not only will they consume precious time, but they do much worse. Screens are obviously not beneficial for students so encouraging students to participate in “shutdown your screen week”.…

    Benjamin Franklin is known for a variety of things and needless to say he was a man capable of accomplishing multiple things. Thus, including his first political cartoon published in May 9, 1754 in his own newspaper Pennsylvania Gazette. All controlled by himself, Franklin was not only in charge of running it, but also making sure that his points were clear. More so, especially in his “Join, or Die” picture. This broken snake was more than just a simple cartoon. It was a statement for the Americans since it spoke for its self. With the intention for us to fully understand the meaning behind his work of art.…

    “Young Goodman Brown” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, is a short story about a man who leaves his wife to go on a journey through a forest. The controversial part about the story is whether or not Young Goodman Brown actually experiences the events that take place in the forest. While some people may believe that Young Goodman Brown does actually see everything in the forest, I believe that Nathaniel Hawthorne’s use of pathos and logos hint that they are all in his imagination.…

    However, digital world and information technology, in the opinion of Turkle, not only provide us a lot of opportunities, but also pose some danger. By virtue of the latest technology the individual is constantly involved in communication, real communication, virtual and even imaginary, that endlessly expands and fills his Self (constant perception of different values, belief systems, ideas, etc.). Therefore, Identity becomes much more complex, and eventually "saturated" , “colonized” by others. Consequently, it would be logical after Grechko ask a question, whether there is actually Self under all these "strata", "layers" that came from the "outside". Hannerz suggested that the era of liquidity and diversity destroyed stagnation and brought…

    On the drive home, her comment, the die is cast, gnawed at me, since it meant her alter-ego Julie Caesar had crossed the Rubicon, the point of no return. Suddenly, I’m thinking about my seventh birthday - the night my father, Arthur Samuel Scooter, became Whitney’s adversary. The evening started out great - pony rides - presents – cake – ice cream, but took a nasty turn after the guest left. That’s when my father, in a drunken stupor, decided to critique Whitney’s latest abstract ‘Two Lovers’ and slurred - the shading lacked depth, the lovers were merely stick figures, and the color of the red rose suggested faded love. However, he didn’t stop there; he verbally sliced her jugular – by reminding her that her forefathers had created…

    This quote implies that those who possess more fortune and riches than others should accept what they have quietly, rather than in a boastful manner. Those in possession shouldn’t think they are any better or more-deserving than anyone below them in wealth and status. Moreover, it reflects on the overly prideful and childlike behavior of Okonkwo, in regards to his immense wealth and social standings.…
