Paragraph 7 contributes to the ideas in the text by showing that people got violent when others were just trying to make a change for the good. In paragraph 7 sentence 5 the author states, "When the buses reached Anniston, Alabama, an angry mob slashed the tires on one bus and set it aflame." The integrated black and white students were trying to take a stand and make a change. Yes, the people were breaking the law by driving all together, but others did not have to put them in danger for trying to make a change and do something right. This shows that others were breaking the law just as much as the integrated students.…
The statement that “Ethan Frome, ultimately succeeds because of [Wharton] including the subtle backdrop of Naturalism” is true because without that premise, this story is just a story of one instance that could not teach us much. It is made meaningful by the backdrop of Naturalism because it can be connected to infinite stories or circumstances. The connection teaches us about ourselves and the humans around us. By “exploring the complexity of human emotion against the fundamentals of Nature”, we see how similar we are to Nature and how closely bonded to it each one of us is. The Naturalism found in the book points out and helps us to understand our helplessness, savageness and instinctive desires. On page 103 of Ethan Frome, Zeena is described as a “listless creature”, an “alien presence” with a habit of “silent brooding”. These descriptions are very animalistic and for the first time Ethan realizes that Zeena is like Nature, she can give him everything and also “[take] everything else from him”. Zeena not only gave Ethan Mattie, but the ability to love and feel passion. Ethan feels that Zeena has “mastered him”, similar to how earlier on in the book a snowstorm masters the whole town who is powerless against it. Ethan understands his helplessness around Zeena and it brings out a rage he has never felt before. A “flame of hate” rises up in him and he has to mentally restrain himself from his physical urges after taking a “wild step” towards Zeena. This specific passage shows the struggle between the mind and natural urges. By exploring human emotion against Naturalism, it becomes apparent how primitive humans are and how vulnerable we are to both Nature and our emotions.…
Chris McCandless‘s admirers are wrong to believe that he was a deeply honest person. At some moments in Into the Wild, he was not an honest person. According to Westerberg, a McCandless’s friend, said, “He never explained why he’d changed his name” (Krakauer 18). When McCandless decided to make a trip into the wild, he changed his name; he did not even bring any identification with him. During the trip, everybody knew about him under the name Alex. Westerberg was a friend that was close to McCandless, but he never knew McCandless’s real name until he discovered from McCandless’s tax form. Westerberg was so surprised, but he did not ask McCandless the reason why he changed his name. Westerberg knew something happened between McCandless and his father, which McCandless never told him. Unfortunately, he did not have a change to hear the truth from McCandless. The significance about changing his name was that McCandless did not want everybody to know the truth of his personality. He hid everything about himself and his family, except his sister. It was a pain in his heart when he thought about his father. Beside this, McCandless was also a dishonest person in his family. He kept all things he knew about his father inside, even his sister. In Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer wrote, “but he did not confront his parents with what he knew, then or ever. He chose instead to make a secret of his dark knowledge and express his range obliquely, in silence and sullen withdrawal” (Krakauer 123). These actions by McCandless suggest much about his character. His problem with his father could be solved if he told the truth with his parents, but he never did that. He just kept inside and became angry to his father, even lying to his friend with a new name. Lying with his friend and his family was lying to himself. He could not stand it because his father was lying to him and his mother, but he still repeated the mistake of telling lies with his parents. Keeping…
position with the Division of Economic Security (DES)?’ this is my response. Over the years I have held several different office type jobs. I started out as a temporary worker for DES, in a file room in the Child Support Division. I was required to build files for different units; maintain a log of the files that were being received, transferred out, and sent to the warehouse. The files sent to the warehouse were given a secondary number by the warehouse, in case a file had to be retrieved; this was the tracking system that allowed the warehouse to locate the appropriate file. I worked in DES as a Customer Service Representative (CSR) for the Family Assistance Administration (FAA). As a CSR I was required to perform a wide range of clerical duties; distributing mail/inter-office mail and faxes, pulling and filing files in the file room, registering/scheduling incoming applications, ensuring the case managers had their list of appointments for the day and the incoming paperwork that accompanied it, answering the switchboard to guide/answer incoming calls from consumers, and scan information the case managers had gathered from the consumers into the system. The position as a CSR proved tested my ability to multi-task and to prioritize and re-prioritize with the day to day changes.…
My sophomore year, around April I started reading "Crank" by Ellen Hopkins. I only got somewhere around the 100th page and then stopped reading, because I was always busy with school work. we read a book in class called "Looking for Alaska", I truly enjoyed reading it, that is when I started slowly getting more interested in reading. When school ended for the summer, I had to take summer school, and for my English class I had to read a book and give a presentation over it. The book I chose to read was "The Story of My Life" By Helen Keller, before that I have not been able to finish a book I selected by my liking in almost two years.…

Legos are fun and easy to build for some children, but they can be difficult for others. Children should start with small Legos and progress to more complex ones when they feel confident. The Lego Architecture sets are very fun to build if you are interested in famous places. Children should have the opportunity to pursue their dreams in what they could be when they grow…

Purpose, audience, tone, and content all work with each other and should be used when writing academically to get the best writing possible. The purpose of the paragraph is why the writer is writing the paragraph in the first place. The writer is sharing their ideas, stories, experiences, information, and the purpose for writing. If there was no purpose of the paragraph, the writer would not need to write it. The audience is an individual or a group of people who the writer is trying to address the paragraph to. The writer should present their ideas to the audience clearly so the information can be easily understood. The writer is informing the audience about a topic in a professional manner. The audience tries to understand what the writer is trying to say. The tone impacts the writing because it shows the writer’s attitude toward the written topic. The writer’s tone can alert the audience to the attitude of writing such as for example, funny, sad, mad, anxious, or excited. The writer wants to try to bring the right mood to the audience and the topic written. The content has impacted the writing to keep the attention of the audience and with the material. The writer needs to keep the audience content with the material that was written. The different audiences impact the different content and the needs for the appropriate audience. The purpose, audience, tone, and content should all work together so that the writer can present a well-written paragraph to the…
I am thoroughly excited about the possibility of being hired for the position of Medical Administrative Assistant here at St. Mary’s Adult Care. I have always enjoyed being around people, and I am highly skilled when it comes to making people feel comfortable, especially in situations that may not be ideal or very comfortable for them. I continually find myself seeking employment in jobs that put me in the position of dealing directly with people. At any given moment, I could be helping someone solve an issue, speaking a few gentle words to put a smile upon their face, or nursing someone back to health with a soft kindness that I am proud to possess. I found my love of taking care of people when my father had a heart attack on the job and could no longer work. It was then that I became his main caregiver. This forced me to mature quickly. I was the only child at home during that time, and my mother was always working, so this placed me in the position to start taking on adult responsibilities. I began paying bills, I made sure that my father had breakfast in the morning and had taken his medication before I went off to school. While taking care of my father, I learned the names of his medications and what their purposes were; I gave him his insulin shots, performed glucose testing and readings, took his blood pressure, as well as planning nutritional meals to keep his heart in good shape and his diabetes under control. I did this through my entire four years of high school. What I have learned from taking care of my father is patience, courteousness, the importance of listening to what the patient needs, and no matter how bad your day goes, never let it show or take it out on anyone.…

Stoicism dates back to third century BC in Athens, changed many people’s lives. This philosophy is about a school that mainly teaches about Greek philosophies. With these beliefs gained from Stoicism, people developed idealism that impacted them greatly. Some learned how to believe in themselves and to be a great help to their surroundings. Stoics believed that virtue is the main key to Stoicism. This philosophy depends on one’s strength of will. Most stoics believed that good things and bad things will occur in everyone’s life—it is all set upon their actions, after all. The belief of Stoicism was to practice how to self-control their doings and to learn how to control/change their emotions without affecting one another. As to their belief, Stoics agreed that clearing your own mind will bring back positive outcomes, and also a better understanding of life. Being angry, envying something, and having jealousy should be avoided at all cost. This philosophy eventually lasted until three different periods past. It introduced a vast majority of the universe, physics, ethics, psychology, and political terms. Another popular philosophy during the BC era was Epicureanism. As similar to Stoicism, it also originated from the third century. Epicureans, who believed in one god or more, were convinced that a god will not interfere in anyone’s life. They believed that not having fear, or having a state of tranquility gained by living a glorious life, will bring great outcomes. Epicarus, the person who founded this philosophy, defined the meaning of Epicureanism. It is meant to erase any trouble from your mind, release your pain from your body, and to have a goal of living a long, happy life. His teachings taught many people how to overcome their goals and desires to live life to its fullest. But to live well required wisdom, moderation, justice, and courage.…
