Some people say that opposite personalities attract. This is true in S.E. Hinton’s novel The Outsiders, Johnny Cade and Dallas Winston have their differences. One is tough, cool, and likes to break laws. The other one is compliant, quiet, and would never think to even shoplift. Even though Dally and Johnny are the complete opposite of each other, they still have their similarities. They both care about each other, and they both happen to have neglectful parents that raised them. Even though they are different, they still manage to connect with each other. Johnny and Dally do not have an abundance of similarities, but the ones they do share stand out. One of these similarities is the fact that they both have neglectful and/or abusive parents. Dally’s parents do not give a care in the world about him. “Shoot, my old man don’t give a hang whether I’m in jail or dead in a car wreck or drunk in the gutter.” (88) This quote shows that no matter where Dallas is or what he is doing, his parents would just sit back and relax. Dally can do the feats he does because he knows his parents will not be there to stop him from doing them. Similarly, Johnny’s parents are neglectful and abusive. “I think I like it better when the old man’s hittin’ me.”...”At least then I know he knows who I am.” (51) This tells that Johnny’s parents are neglectful because he likes when he is hit. When he is being hit, Johnny knows they are giving him attention. This neglect and abuse have caused Johnny and…

In the 1980s, the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) opened its archives pertaining to the 1948 war to the public. This prompted a revision of the origins of the Palestinian refugee crisis, which birthed a new interpretation of the historical events. Two narratives of this history emerged, the new history that is led by Benny Morris and the old history that is advocated by Shabtai Teveth. Morris contends that Israel is more to blame for the refugee crisis because of rumors of a transfer idea for…

I used to think that giving birth was overrated and believed that the emotional rollercoaster leading up the birth was insincere. In my opinion, giving birth had always seemed frightening, long and most of all painful. Surprisingly, my whole outlook on giving birth and its emotional impact changed when I gave birth to my first child, Joy. I remember the day as if it was yesterday, despite the fact that it took place almost nine years ago. It was a rainy Sunday in February when I invited my best…

One of the greatest cars that never was: the Tucker. Designed by a man who had enough energy to build his own car and enough ambition to stand behind it even in the face of court. Preston Tucker used his charismatic leadership characteristics, undying vision, and his ability to effectively empower his followers to make his dream car come to life. Preston Tucker couldn’t fail, or at least thought he couldn’t. This perfectionist attitude helped drive his dreams into reality. Many demands…

Plan Dalet has gone down in history as one of the most controversial events in the greater context of a long lasting and brutal Arab-Israeli conflict.

In this essay, I will argue that Plan Dalet was a military strategy aimed at protecting Israel from invading Arab states, unintentionally resulting in an ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. I will…
