When she was young there were very few other children in the area to play with and her younger sister, Sissy, was paralyzed. So she often played by herself in a stream nearby.

    Dinesh D’Souza, a distinguished writer, is infamous for persuading his audiences to accept his views through clever use of fallacy. When he first began his public career at Dartmouth College, he was already known as “Distort D’Newsa” because of his conservative stance, which greatly affected his arguments. He rose to national fame when he served as a policy advisor for the conservative Ronald Reagan. In his essay What’s Great About America, D’Souza effectively argues his view that America is great, with partial truths. Instead of glorifying America’s successes, he focuses on hot-button issues and undermines liberal opinions.…

    In Dave Barry’s, “Lost in America”, I feel the narrator was not only expressing his regret for having missed the signs of how deep his mother’s grief ran but, also for a chance to relive those final memories with her as a way of making it seem as she is still alive, even if only for a moment. I also feel he intended for his words to act as a warning to others to watch their own loved ones for signs of depression, especially someone who has gone through a tragedy like Dave’s mother. His mother’s inability to move on or make a commitment to anything after her husbands death were all signs of a deep depression hers sons missed, probably due to their own grief. She was silently telling them she needed help in different ways, unfortunately Dave and his…

The year might not have been perfect, but it was my best year so far. My experience in America had transformed me from a spoiled child to a young adult with a broader and more positive insight on the…
