Essay (A) The Pre-Engineering Academy is most significant to me because it is allowing me to see exactly what I will be doing in college for my career. Someday I hope to receive a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and then further my education with getting a bachelor’s degree in Architecture and receive my masters in Mechanical Engineering. The academy has brought me to realize just how hard becoming an engineer can be. Between deadlines and working in a group, I cannot tell which should be considered worse. Working in groups is not that bad, although the communication between everyone is. Making sure every single person has a clear understanding of what is supposed to be happening can cause the most trouble. Asking a person over and over again will not get you anywhere; some people are shy and just refuse to say anything while the people that are outgoing and could care less about talking to stranger will not hush. The question “Do you understand?” is rhetorical. You never know until you actually start. The Engineering Academy has opened my mind to

    “Do NOT move!” “What do you think you are doing?” BANG!! These are some of the word said by Officer Ferguson during the scuffle with 18-year old Michael Brown. Some may say it was a matter of race, while others say it was a matter of self-defense. No matter what a black man was shot by a white officer and that cannot be changed. Well, why not stun Brown with pepper spray or taze him, some say. At this time Ferguson felt that his pepper spray would not be a help and did not have his tazer. The only other option he had was his gun. Now there are to different stories circulating around the news and other social media. One is that Michael Brown Calmly put his hands up and walked slowly away from the officer looking to cause no harm, but the other story is that Brown seemed to think he could overpower the officer and reached to still his weapon after being confronted. Two completely different stories told by two completely different types of people. The people on Michael Brown’s side believe he calmly surrendered which makes the case seem more like a race issue, while people defending Officer Ferguson believe he had every right to fire at Brown.…

    A martyr is defined as a person who is put to death or endures great suffering on behalf of any belief, principle, or cause. To many people back in eighteen fifty-nine, this defined a man named John Brown in many ways. John Brown was a devoted abolitionist who had been important in the conflict of slavery in Kansas. In October of eighteen fifty-nine, Brown led an interracial group of men who took over a federal arsenal in Harper’s Ferry, Virginia, hoping to spark a slave revolt. To his dismay, Brown and some of his followers were captured after a gunfight with federal troops. He was later tried and found guilty for murder, treason, and conspiracy. Browns actions and execution led many people to believe he was in fact a “martyr”.…

    In both “Black Elk” and “Young Goodman Brown”, the main character’s beliefs are displayed through their perception on nature. Each story depicts separate cultures; Puritanism in “Young Goodman Brown” and the Native American culture demonstrated in “Black Elk”. The main difference between these two cultures revolves around the basic beliefs in which they are structured. The fundamental faith of Puritanism renders on the idea of the world’s continuous progression; whereas, the Native American viewpoint on nature illustrates a focal recognition of the never ending cycle of life. In both stories, nature plays a crucial role as it causes both main characters to reflect on their society and beliefs. In “Young Goodman Brown”, the journey into the forest in which Goodman Brown partakes, causes him to discover the devilish qualities existing in human nature, while in “Black Elk”, Black Elk’s spirituality allows him to recognize the flaws within himself and everything around him.…

    John Brown was a man starkly opposed to slavery. In 1855, John Brown led an unsuccessful raid on Harper 's Ferry in order to arm slaves with weapons Brown and his men seized from the arsenal in order for the slaves to free themselves. Because this was against law of the time, John Brown was tried and executed for treason. Due to his methods, many people labeled him as a terrorist; however, because he worked for a good cause, the abolition of slavery, John Brown can be seen as a Revolutionary who used forceful methods.…

    The story of young goodman brown takes place in what was a very different time period in history. It takes places approximately in the early 1700’s when church god and faith was found in pretty much every household. This story contains a lot of religious aspects. Goodman browns wife is a very religious woman, as long as the rest of the entire community. When Goodman is walking through the forest on his journey, he meets a man, this man is dressed normally and looks quite normal. This man greets him, and offers him a walking stick, or cane. This cane doesn’t look like any other ordinary cane. the can has a lifelike serpent slithering across the handle and body. This cane is a symbol for evil, and its ability to pull people into its ways. Goodman Brown was originally a very decent man, who had good views and beliefs, but once he met this man, who later reveals himself as the devil, he is changed forever. “On he flew among the black pines, brandishing his staff with frenzied gestures, now giving vent to an inspiration of horrid blasphemy, and now shouting forth such laughter as set all the echoes of the forest laughing like demons around him. The fiend in his own shape is less hideous than when he rages in the breast of man.” (5 Nathaniel Hawthorne). Goodman Brown gives up on trying to resist the devil’s temptations, takes up the devil’s staff, and makes his way toward the ceremony. As soon as Goodman Brown reaches for the staff, after he believes he hears faith, his wife's voice, he is sure that faith and all others have turned evil. He is transported to the ceremony that is taking place, with the witches and devil. He not only accepts the cane of the devil, but the role that comes with this cane. Goodman Brown was not only brought to the meeting with this cane, but brought into the role of a demon, or even devil. The walking staffs importance is that once he decided to give in and use support he was changed. The serpent on the walking staff symbolizes the fact…

    The End of Innocence The philosopher Hooper once stated, ?Innocence is a flower, which withers when touched, but blooms not again, though watered with tears?(Mackey). Once innocence is lost to sin, there is no way to recover it. Nathaniel Hawthorne?s character, Young Goodman Brown, is one such example. After making a journey down the dark path of evil, Goodman Brown?s innocence and beliefs are lost forever. Throughout the short story ?Young Goodman Brown,? Hawthorne uses imagery and symbolism to amplify the theme of innocence lost.…
