in his opening sentences, Chief Seattle refuses to claim the land as a possession, stating "How can [one] buy or sell the sky, the warmth of the land? The idea is strange to [them]. If [they] do not own the freshness of the air, and the sparkle of the water, how can [one] buy them?" He instead claims the land as part of them and their history, that "the shining water that moves in the streams and rivers is not just water but the blood of our ancestors."(Seattle 1)2. He is confused because he and…
Introduction True Religion Apparel Inc., a premium brand that sells jeans between $159 and $339 since its founding in 2002, survived for its first decade in an extremely competitive environment. Partly due to its appeal to both men and women, and the fact that denim is only two-thirds of its sales, True Religion possessed enough value in 2013 to be purchased by a private investing firm, TowerBrook Capital Partners (Graf, 2017). In a deal that was valued at $824 million, True Religion’s then…

Shawnna - Essay 1 As a part of a family that actively supports, wears, and watches the Seattle Seahawks throughout the football season, it’s hard not to notice just how unique their Quarterback Russell Wilson is, on or off the field. In the National Football League, big things rarely come in small packages and it wasn’t until I gained my full respect for Russell Wilson that I realized what gave the 12th fans something extra to scream and shout about.

I stumbled upon an entry-level position working with behaviorally challenged, developmentally disabled…
