I chose to compare “A Prison‚ A Paradise” by John Jeremiah Sullivan and “Once More to the Lake” by E .B. White. There are many reasons to choose to travel; specifically for these two authors‚ it is to visit a place that has meaning to them on more than the “excursion for a day” level.

Once More to the Lake is an essay mainly about how the author/dad‚ E. B. White‚ can’t quite seem to let go of his childhood.

I believe that required service should not be forced upon the American people. There’s plenty of reasons as to why this would hurt America in general. First‚ It would hurt the economy because we would have to pay the required people. In reality‚ This would just hurt the pockets of many Americans because we don’t have the kind of money to spend on required service. The people who donate money to charity would then be giving the government money to pay for the required services. I truly believe
