    Greasy Lake Essay Example

    My parents would always ask me when I was younger, if I would jump off a bridge if so and so told me to do it? I would always respond no and they would say then why did you (insert stupid childish behavior)? I know now it is because by nature as we grow up we act on impulse and we don’t often think through the consequences. T. Coraghessan Boyle's "Greasy Lake" demonstrates the ignorance and impulsivity of youth as they transition to adulthood. The first sentence of the story says almost everything about the characters. “There was a time when courtesy and winning ways went out of style, when it was good to be bad, when you cultivated decadence like a taste” (Boyle 141) In other words these young boys were living in a time of their lives where there were no rules, they drank, they smoked, they did cocaine. They, in their mind, were invincible and this rush carried them straight into trouble that changed their lives. We see this throughout the story as the author first boasts of how “bad” he and his friends are, next when they try and rape the girl in the parking lot, and finally how the main character thinks about the consequences of his actions after he commits them.…

It was Alexander Ramsey, Minnesota’s territorial governor in 1852, who gave Lake Minnetonka its name.

    Ignorance is the greatest challenge that man has yet to overcome; its ability to spread hatred makes it at fault for many of humanities problems. The only cure for such a wide-spread, and often deadly disease, is knowledge. Knowledge can be spread through many forms, but the most powerful way to spread it is through celebration. Celebrations allows for people to be surrounded by others in a place free from the things that divide us in the outside world. This is why Multicultural events are a very popular form of celebrating diversity, it appears as a party, but is secretly breaking down cultural barriers. This is why Williams Lake needs one; with the negative spotlight that has been shining down on the town, there needs to be a way to remind people that Williams Lake is more than its gang problem.…
