In the story, “The Man Who Was Almost a Man” the gun and the mule are two apparent symbols that contribute to the meaning of the story. They both relate through the character Dave, a teenager who desires power, respect, and independence. The gun represents Dave’s idea of manhood, specifically Dave’s desire to be a man. The mule, most importantly, the death of the mule, symbolizes Dave, his growth into a man, and the passing of childish ways. Impulsively, Dave buys a gun thinking that it will…

It is hard to keep a commitment without making sacrifices. This can be seen by looking at a few elements of the movie Radio Flyer’s plot. Radio Flyer, directed by Richard Donner, is a film about two boys named Mike and Bobby, their mother and their abusive stepfather, who likes to be called The King. Mike, as the older child, promises to protect Bobby and help him achieve his goal of escaping from The King. First, Mike and Bobby sacrifice their safety by not telling their mother of The King’s…

related family files (family files will be routed together) and prepare the files for interviews.

OP&S staff will update the…

to describe me they think of a determined, straight face, hard working soccer player because many people see that when they come to watch me on the soccer field. However, off the field, people are often shocked and relieved to see that I am completely the opposite of the person they see on the field. Surprising to most people, off the field, when I’m not directing players, winning tackles, and connecting passes, you will often times see me with friends and family laughing and joking around,…

Hi, I’m Elena Hoxha. I was born during the Middle Ages by my parents Eda and Ermo Hoxha. They were born Serfs, then, I thought it was pretty cool to be a Serf. It sounded cool. But, apparently, being a Serf sucks! When I was seven, Eda brought us some bread, it was coarse and black. This was apparently a special day for the Serfs. Then next time we got that kind of bread was a month after. As I grew up, my mom taught me how to do what every women Serf does. She also had me wake up at 3am every…

really hard to learn how to play soccer at the age of twelve, specially when there wasn’t a lot of field it practice at, and that it was that it was expensive to rent a field back then, but that’s again if you find a field available to rent! Fields back then were made of grass but all you can see was dust and if you fall then that’s it, you’re hurt. Ehab wished that he could practice often in fields like the ones we have now. So basically it was difficult to learn and practice soccer back…

We as a society need to encourage more young girls and women to take an interest in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In 2009, 48% of the United States workforce was comprised of women while 52% comprised of men (Kimmel et al, 2012). While the slight deviation in percentage seems small, when STEM field jobs were looked at in particular, it was realized that that 76% of the STEM jobs are held be men while women only held on to 24% (Szelényi et al, 2013). In…

more and more fields, until one day, he was the owner of every farm in the village. His neighbors, friends, and relatives did not know what to do, as the only way to Aongus’ heart was money. He considered himself to be king of the village, and disregarded any advice he was given. He punished those who disagreed with him by leaving them and their families without any source food. Those who disobeyed his orders were brutally beaten and forced to work in inhumane conditions in Aongus’ fields. For…

The words that are typed on this paper do not begin to describe the experience or the feeling in which I encountered today. Describing the place and all its elements would not be enough. La Ventana De Los Cielos is place outside of the norm. One could say, it’s a place of no judgment, where people are free. I knew I was going to have a great day even before I we got inside the farm. The decoration of the entire on the gate was breath. There were different quotes all over the farm. My farm quote…

While Dave had the gun in his position he felt superior; as though he was the “big” man in the field. When he was out in the field with Jim Hawkins mule Jenny, Dave was waving the gun around and bragging to Jenny about the damage he could do with the gun. Little did he know, he would end up accidentally shooting Jenny. Once he discovered the bullet wound on her…
