    Are the arguments posited by Patrick Henry and Thomas Paine effective? Of course they are, did they not persuade their people to fight against Britain, for their rights. Patrick Henry spoke about a war that had not yet begun, he spoke of it with urgency, as if there was no time to question it. He decided that he needed to get people involved in his speech, he needed people to think about what he was saying, to choose between the good and the bad. Thomas Paine did the same thing, he used emotion to get through the people sitting before him.…

    Argumentative essay Samuel Newitt Wood is one of the founding fathers of the state of Kansas, and in particular Chase County, Kansas. Wood contributed a lot to the development of the territory, and eventually the state of Kansas. Wood does not have a memorial, and is not recognised as a prominent citizen of Kansas. He is deserving of a monumental plaque to commemorate his contributions to Kansas. Samuel Newitt Wood was a true hero who put Chase County on the map and not only spoke his beliefs of a free Kansas, the right for women to vote, anti-corruption, but truly lived his beliefs if even it it meant ridicule or loss of life.…

    Corey Turner remembers collecting participation trophies from the YMCA soccer program he was involved in as a young athlete. These trophies are now sitting in a dusty box somewhere in his parent's basement. This leads him to question whether or not young athletes should receive trophies for just showing up. Corey Turner is not alone, people across the nation have debated this issue for as long as youth sports have been in existence. I believe that kids should not get trophies for participating because kids should learn life lessons from both wins and losses and participation trophies do more harm than good.…

    What I interpreted from this article were Pat Buchanan’s criticism of liberal standings and emphasis on conservative beliefs and positions on social issues in the United States. Buchanan was determined to defend American traditions and values. He was also determined to fight for the conservative side of the war. In his address, Buchanan discusses his thoughts on President Bush’s beliefs and how he agreed with many ideas. Based on my additional research on Pat Buchanan, was born into a catholic family and attended a catholic school; hence why he agreed with President Bush on the “freedom to choose religious schools.”…

    At the most complicated times in life, we do things that we were not capable of doing. It is the desperation of survival it is out of instinct we surprise oneself performing impossible tasks; Chris was at a point where he was physically weak incapable of functioning well anymore.
