Shedd Aquarium Narrative
Could you imagine being in a huge city with a crisis going on, and not knowing what to do? Well, that’s just what happened to me over the summer of 2017. It was such a beautiful, sunny day on July 2nd when my Mom, sister, and I took a trip to the gorgeous, windy city of Chicago for my birthday. We had plans to go to the Shedd Aquarium to look at all the breathtaking animals. After that, we were going to go to Navy Pier to walk around and explore. Once we started to get hungry we were going to go to the Sugar Factory for dinner. We were at the Shedd Aquarium, and we were standing in line outside in the hot heat when my Mom got sick.
They say nothing goes as planned, they were right. We were finally, almost to the front of the line when my

    Flint Water Crisis: What Happened And Why?

    In January 2016, President Barack Obama declared a federal state of emergency in Flint, Michigan (Kennedy, 2016, par. 44). Initially, the declaration of a state of emergency might evoke thoughts of a natural disaster or of an armed conflict, which are not incorrect assumptions. However, this state of emergency was declared for an event much less spectacular, but nonetheless urgent— the contamination of Flint’s water supply.…

    Paycheck To Poverty Analysis

    Katrina also has the support of her recovered husband who moved to Chattanooga to help Katrina in looking after their children. Fortunately for the family, Katrina was able to bring her sick daughter to her ex-husband’s house instead of taking a day off work, which avoided a potential financial catastrophe since she doesn’t get paid sick days. Last but certainly not least, Katrina’s living situation was given grace as she was able to make payments towards her rent to keep a roof over her children’s head. Although everything in Katrina’s life appeared to be crumbling down, she held tight to being a phenomenal role model for her children, by always telling them that they could do whatever they set their minds to. However, many more Katrina Gilberts remain in a life of poverty, trying desperately, day after day, to make a life for themselves and their families. Katrina, like many Americans, doesn’t want a hand out. But she knows she needs something to change to give her just a bit more breathing room. Her story shows how small changes can have huge impacts. Paycheck to Paycheck was created to start a national conversation about minimum wage, affordable child care and health care—the policies that would help all manner of vulnerable…

    After Seaworld Analysis

    Aquatic and wild animals seem to be a huge contribution of our society and entertainment, but rarely we see incidents recently recalling killer whales at SeaWorld. Reading the article “After Seaworld, ‘Blackfish effect’ on circuses and zoos?” by Kelly Wallace, shows the viewpoint on the topic of the movie called “Blackfish.” The film is about Seaworld and the famous killer whale Tilikum. The history of him and his seaworld experience was introduced. He ended up killing his trainer Dawn Brancheau, and some people even blamed her for it. This is a topic that is rarely discussed in society, but it seems as if people have a misunderstanding or don't know enough about it to have an opinion. The shocking news, is that this is not the first time…

    Humanity In Susan B. Pfeffer's Life As We Knew It

    When the population comes to understand the upcoming danger, they race to the grocery stores to acquire resources for survival. The protagonist witnesses this first hand saying “There were people racing for carts, people screaming, and two guys punching each other out.” (35). Frightened that they wouldn’t survive, the residents hopelessly fought each other with a cutthroat mentality. Their apocalyptic scenario made the townsfolk oblivious to anyone else’s health and mental state. Everyone brutally fought for their own slim chance of living. Similarly, people became increasingly desperate as the days continued. They would raid houses and stores with no consideration for the owners of the buildings. Miranda notices this after she went into Megan’s empty house saying “Whenever a house is deserted people come in and take everything that can possibly be used” (222). She also sees the damage in the city as she observes a gang breaking into a store where “...one of them would break the pane glass and go into the store.” (176). The citizens lost any morals they previously had. They shamelessly broke into houses and stores in order to reap small rewards. This previously small, organized community became shattered by the sudden need for survival with citizens becoming violent and primitive; diminishing their sense of…
