Keep Off Grass Quotes
Christopher changes over to the topic of how misleading signs could be since signs aren’t specific enough. He uses an example of a sign that says, “Keep off grass.” Christopher believes the sign should read keep off all grass, or keep off grass in park. He then gives more examples but one example that he uses caught my attention was, “Thou shalt not kill” yet, crusaders and wars say otherwise. I believe signs and statements like this could be confusing especially for Christopher because he isn’t old enough to understand morals, values and ethical indifferences whether he has a condition or not.

    Good News About Injustice

    • 2555 Words

    Part one is titled "Taking Up the Challenge." This first section of the book is expressing the news about injustice and how it exists today. The question that it asks is, "How will I respond?" This question will be answered in this section of the paper. Chapter one talks about the wars in Rwanda. Gary talks about the first time he went to Rwanda. He was one of the people that went down to this African country to help investigate the Rwandan genocides that was going on. The sites that were seen were frightening. The bodies were dumped in lakes along the borders of Rwanda and Zaire. Killings were taken place not only in homes and streets, but in mass at stadiums. He was in charge of identifying all the people that they found in these mass graves. Haugen then makes note of the twin girls that were dead. They were human; it could have been his kids. This, to me, was the turning point of it all. Realizing that these twin girls could have been his, he needed to make a stop of this injustice to these innocent Rwandans. Gary uses a passage from the Bible, Psalm 10:8-15, to show that God does care about these people and he calls this injustice sin. God is the one with the final plan of action and He will judge those who create the injustice, we are there to carry out His will, as Gary says; "We are the plan." Chapter two is simply titled Preparing the Mind and Spirit Through Scripture. Gary speaks of two ways we can grow into mature way of thinking about injustice. Those two points are: we can develop compassions for these people by seeing them by means of missionaries or other Christian workers and by preparing ourselves to help these people by viewing them through God's eyes, meaning His Word. The first step Gary gives us is a vocabulary term. That term is compassion permanence, which means a courageous and generous capacity to remember the needs of an unjust world even when the infant's out of our immediate sight. Simply…

    “When the 1828 election rolled around, a lot of people were terrified when they heard Andrew "Old Hickory" Jackson was running. If you're wondering how a guy we're calling a bad ass got such a lame nickname, it's because he used to carry a hickory cane around and beat people senseless with it, and if you're wondering why he did that, it's because he was a f#$%*in g lunatic.” (Daniel O’Brien February 15, 2008) This quote from cracked.com illustrates the depth of the ruthlessness within Andrew Jackson, and it is this callousness that made him a tyrant of a President. His decisions were calculated.…

    Trick My Sibling Quotes

    • 263 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Through this story I think I most relate to Lucas because I am not the one to trick my sibling. My sibling is the one that acts most like Amy, always trying to trick me. “Amy? You’re just kidding aren’t you? That was pretty good. You know if you weren’t so funny-looking you could probably become an actress.” Pg.7. This is what I would probably end up saying in this circumstance, try to be funny but keep it on edge and be a little bit hard-nosed about it. I am more of a gullible type of person so this book relates to me a lot because Lucas in the story actually believed that his sister was under attack. “Amy? Amy, come on. Quit it.” Pg.7. This quote is when I would usually get a little fearful or nervous that it could be happening. I would…

    However Singer is quick to remind us that we are all Bob in some way. We have the opportunity to help but most of us don’t do it and so what makes us better than Bob? Singer than proceeds to once again fill our minds with the use of logos to give an estimate to how much money donating would guarantee for a child’s wellbeing. Singer provides a phone number and names of organizations to which basically shoves you into a corner and gives you no way out of not being able to donate. Later Singer states “Now you too, have the information you need to save a child’s life.” By starting off the sentence with “now you too” he gives off a sense of power and it really makes you believe that you can make a difference. Relating back to the image of Bob and how could have saved the little boy’s life Singer than compares not donating to being just like not switching the switch which causes an over showering of guilt towards his audience and the feeling of not wanting to be as heartless as Bob was. As if Singer could read minds he uses rhetorical questions that he knows have probably crossed his audiences mind if the money will donated will actually help a child. He then puts those questions to rest by assuring his audience the money will reach its target. Singer than continues with hypothetical scenarios that keeps his audience on their toes and with every…

    Singer begins his essay with Dora, a schoolteacher, who sells an orphan awaiting to have his organs sold in a black market for a new television set. Eventually, Dora regrets her immoral decision and rescues the boy from his fate. Singer compares this act to Americans, who spend their income on food, clothes and vacations by suggesting that the money spent could have made a “difference between life and death for children in need” (327). Singer goes on to compare how the situations are similar, pointing out that the only difference is ignoring an issue that isn’t in your presence and one that is. Singer continues by calling himself a “utilitarian philosopher” and defines his character by stating that he judges acts by their consequences (327). Singer then introduces Bob and his expensive Buggati. Bob chooses to save his car from a train even though he could have saved a child’s life by destroying his prized possession, and compares this story to…
