    '4th Void' By Alex Horton Analysis

    In the 4th paragraph of this essay, the author, Alex Horton explains how his feelings and memories can never fully be realized in a piece of jewelry no matter the care put into its creation. For his example, the metal bracelet he refuses to take off for anyone bears the date of his friend’s death on a shared battlefield years ago. In the beginning, it seems he is almost upset by the simple sterility of the ordering website’s ease of use and the removal of emotion until seeing the finished product. Alex mentions it sometimes may only be redundant and questions how insignificant it is when measured against what he remembers of that person and that fateful day in Iraq. Unfortunately, while it does serve as a daily reminder of the importance of…

    Flashbacks In Touching Spirit Bear

    Touching Spirit Bear is an breath-taking and action-packed story about a boy named Cole who has done bad things in his life so he has to spend a year on an island in Alaska. I think the flashbacks have to be the most important story element. The book uses lots of flashbacks to get people to know a lot about Cole’s past. The flashbacks are important because at the beginning of the story he is going to the island and during the following chapters it has flashbacks that explain and tell the reasons and explanations of why he is going to the island in the first place.…

    Monster By Walter Dean Myers Analysis

    There are many factors that should be taken into consideration when debating on what the biggest problems are not only in the justice system but also in the court system, many of them being seen throughout the novel Monster by Walter Dean Myers. For instance, race seems to still be an issue in today’s justice system. One example on how race is a problem in the justice system is on the case of Clarence Brandley. Clarence was realized from jail after being wrongfully convicted and on death row for almost one decade as it states in the Montana Abolition Coalition article. Another problem in the justice system is the death penalty. One reason why the death penalty is a problem is because innocent people can be executed as it also states in the Montana Abolition Coalition article. One final problem out of the many is the the court system is actually the jury. For example as it is stated in the article jurs are supposed to be representative of our diverse community (Ladner,2000).…

    Persuasive Essay: Evolution

    The evolutionary theory is one of the most widely debated scientific theories. Many believe it to be the best explanation for how the living world with all its species developed. Others refuse to believe it and think of the theory as something dangerous. The theory itself states that the natural world, with all its different species, developed from simple organisms. This happened through gradual changes in the organisms' genomes through natural selection, or 'survival of the fittest'. This also means that all organisms are related, some more closely than others. Currently it is the only reasonable theory that explains how the natural world developed. Unlike others, it is not based on speculations or unsupported claims but on solid evidence. Evidence that can not be ignored.…
