    In "A Teachable Good Book: Of Mice and Men" by Thomas Scarseth, the professor argues that "Of Mice and Men" is a tragedy, in which it is simple, yet complicated as it provides wonderful examples of realism and problems in the world, despite being a short read. Scarseth provides many claims and examples supporting the thesis of his paper, which will be highlighted in this essay. The claims are: every story doesn't have to have a happy ending, objectionable elements are necessary as they make stories more realistic, and not everything someone wishes for comes true.

Dennis Baron stated “The first pencils were made by joiners, woodworkers specializing in making furniture, to scribe measurements in wood”. I believe this is amazing, I never knew that the pencil that we use daily was first designed for markings.…

    Denver mayor Michal Hancock argues that the decreasing prevalence of nuclear families causes much of the increasing race based disparities. Single parent households have more financial strain which in turn reduces education opportunities and standard of living. Hancock acknowledges that there is no single reason for a larger percentage of single parents in African American and other ethnic groups, but he highlights employment discrimination and a biased justice system along with drug use. He is still convinced that we can “turn the dial” of racial inequalities by supplying good education and mentorship programs as well as by giving parent tools for helping their children both in the classroom and outside of it.…
