Letter to the Editor by Feross Aboukhadijeh‚ 11th grade Dear Editor: I would personally like to thank Jeremy Rifkin for his earth-shaking findings published in “A Change of Heart about Animals”.

Dear editor‚ I am writing to express my point of view towards Chinese people’s practice of consuming shark’s fin soup. Eating shark’s fin soup has long been a famous and common practice in Chinese culture. Shark’s fin soup is a valuable food‚ it provides rich nutrients in keeping people’s beauty. It is always one of the dishes at important festivals and in wedding meals. Eating shark’s fin soup is extravagance behaviour in the Chinese culture as shark’s fin is a rare ingredient

Dear Editor‚ I am writing this letter to Jeremy Rifkin’s article “A Change Of Heart About Animals.” I disagree. I don’t think we can change the way we treat animals. I think we should just let them be and have them live their own habit. If we change the way we treat animals‚ than they would be like humans and not themselves. They wouldn’t be just normal animals. I feel that animals should be in their own habit and not become more like humans. One of the reasons I disagree to Rifkin’s idea

The themes between the writing of Emerson‚ Thoreau‚ Krakauer‚ and Donovan all correspond to each other. Although‚ all authors are diverse‚ they all share the same ideas. In this essay I will discuss the similarities and beliefs they all correlate. One major idea they share is self-reliance. In all works‚ they discuss the fact of controlling themselves and not relying on the government. Michael Donovan says “It’s all on me…. therefore falls-onto-me‚” indicating his viewpoint that he is the only

Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau are still considered two of the most influential writers of their time. Ralph Waldo Emerson‚ who was a lecturer‚ essayist‚ and poet‚ Henry David Thoreau is his student‚ who was also a great essayist and critics. Both men extensively studied and embraced nature‚ and both men encouraged and practiced individualism and nonconformity.

Yet he dismisses without notice his thought‚ just because it is his." In this quote Emerson is elaborating on the idea that we must all exude intellectual independence and nonconformity. Why do we rely on others to determine the way we think‚ act‚ dress and speak? Thoreau and Emerson both tried to incorporate

including Henry David Thoreau prized during the Romantic Movement. The Romantic Movement refers to the era in which writers and philosophers were highly concerned with the soul. The soul is the opposite of intellect. Not meaning lack of intellect rather just a focus on feelings.

Hamza Ibrahim Date 11/10 2012 Brønshøj‚ Copenhagen‚ Denmark. Dear Editor I do believe that people should know more about their country‚ but travelling abroad has many benefits and is the main reason for broadening awareness of other cultures.

In my opinion you will not realize how much you love‚ and know about your country until you have traveled or left
