Boy Scout Letter Analysis

It is a source of great pride and joy to compose this Eagle Scout letter of recommendation for my son Davis Hunter, who is hoping to earn the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America.

Davis is a reliable and trustworthy person as evidenced by the way he lives his life. He carries out his daily activities with honesty and integrity. I have known him to always be an individual who is loyal, courteous and friendly to all, who takes his duty to his community very seriously. He has become a natural leader who is a hard worker both at home, at church, in the community and at his school.

At home, he has both daily and weekly chores, which he accomplishes on time, with occasional encouragement. If he says he will get something done, we can count on him to do it. He is responsible and respectful. He works well as a team with our family, in his leadership class at school, and with his quorum at church where he is the President. The younger boys at church look to him as an example, and so does his younger brother, Preston. He is further an example of good morals and core values at school where he works hard to maintain good grades. Last semester, he earned four A’s and three B’s, producing at 3.57 GPA.

Davis is an all-round cheerful, good boy. He is a loyal friend, kind to everyone, and always befriends the underdog. Ask anyone, and

It was a thrill to watch Davis, along with countless others, become engaged and excited about helping others attain their family history information. We have since heard countless comments from those who participated in the project, about how good it made them feel, how addicting it became to serve others, and how they plan to continue to help the Billion Graves organization on their own time. What a blessing this project has been. Both my husband and I were impressed at how Davis handled his leadership position throughout his

    Kim Davis, a Kentucky county clerk, was jailed for contempt when she refused to honor the Supreme Court’s order to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Given John Locke’s beliefs regarding the necessary separation of church and state as detailed in A Letter Concerning Toleration, he would agree that Kim Davis was lawfully jailed for her actions in contempt of the Supreme Court decision. It is first necessary to realize that Locke would believe Davis acted unlawfully. He believes in the separation of church and state, i.e. that the Church has no civil authority (Locke, 33), and would find that Davis’s position within the government did not authorize her to interpret the law on behalf of her religion. Not only did Davis have no authority…

    The entire Angela Davis lecture was phenomenal. She discussed so many topics and interacted with the audience, which turned the lecture into a fun experience and not only informative but also very entertaining to listen to and watch. I would grade the lecture with an A. I love how she related everything from the past to present because in reality not much has changed when it comes to racism and slavery and the challenges we face as not only African American but also being an African American woman. One of my favorite parts was how she ended the lecture with a question and answer portion and how many of the students were not afraid to ask very challenging questions and of course her response was just as in depth.…

    Are Prisons Obsolete?, by Angela Davis, explores the history of prisons in the United States of America, as well as their social, political, and cultural facets.
