professional athletes are overpaid. In the present time athletes are being paid phenomenally large amounts of money for their entertainment. It is my claim that all professional athletes are overpaid because they do not offer society an essential function that improves or enhances our world in comparison to other professionals such as medical doctors‚ lawyers‚ and teachers. Society does not value entertainment enough to warrant such high salaries such as those of many professional athletes. There

In the documentary‚ Dying to be Thin‚ dancers and regular people are asked about the pressure to be thin. This video has taught me that in our society being extremely skinny is considered beautiful. Not everyone is meant to be a size 2. It all depends on what your body type is. Everyone is beautiful no matter what size they wear. The word beautiful does not require the word skinny. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you don’t see yourself as beautiful your confidence is very low.

He often explains what happens when a traditional African culture meets the forces of the Western way of life. I think the poem was written to outline the fake personalities of many people and to try and get them to return to a natural and innocent state. The poem tells of the conversation between what seems to be a father and son‚ where the father wants to

“Once upon a time” is a poem written by Gabriel Okara‚ a Nigerian poet. The Title is an interesting choice because‚ before a line of the poem is read‚ it links the poem to childish stories‚ fairy tales‚ that finish in a “happily ever after”‚ but there is always an obstacle‚ or you may call it a “bad guy”. Okara starts of the poem with “Once upon a time” which shows how far it is into the past but it has not been forgotten. The poem starts off as being portrayed as a negative tirade. Okara uses

Sir Charles G.D Roberts’ stories “ The Young Ravens That Call Upon Him” and “When Twilight Falls Upon The Stump Lots” are similar in a lot of ways. The point of view in the Young Ravens story is told from the eagle‚ the point of view in the Stump Lots is omniscient. In the “young ravens” story the eagle is the protagonist and the ewe is the antagonist. In the “stump lots” story the bear is the protagonist and the cow is the antagonist. In both stories the setting is beautifully
