    In the short story “Safe” by Cherylene Lee reveals the narrator’s divulgence of her experience with “true danger”. During the reading, we find that she and her brother live with fearfully careful parents while, ironically, the brother dives from great heights for a living after engulfing his body in flames. He is the narrator’s first example of peril. Paragraph six especially exemplifies the naivety of our narrator, clarifies her misunderstandings of danger, and establishes her warped expectations of consequence. She finds revelation in this example and learns from her brother instead of being conditioned to fear the future.…

    As a student of the College in the Schools program, the class WRIT 1301 has provided me the opportunity to improve my writing and prepare me more effectively for college. During this semester course I worked with peers to improve not only my own writing, but also improved my analysis of peer works of similar structure. My first paper, a narrative titled Confessions of A Living Sin, was arguably the easiest piece to create, while simultaneously being the most difficult to write. Narrative pieces push writers to write of moments that are strong in emotion, and often times leave the writer vulnerable to whom is reading their work. For me, my vulnerability was discussing the ostracism I faced as a queer and transgender person in a conservative…

To help the inflation, they are keeping people in jails around the state. Their job is to handle the tools to “chew through brush and timberland to create firebreaks to stop advancing flames.”…

    I was unable to locate an online resource about an established code of ethics for emergency services personnel in the state of Arizona. As a substitute, I chose to adopt the firefighter code of ethics listed on FEMA.gov website and authored by the National Society of Executive Fire Officers. This white paper document outlines the integrity and professionalism that it has grown to become and recognize by the communities it serves. The firefighter code of ethics establishes the groundwork for proper professionalism and behavior for firefighters to maintain and continue to cultivate their high standards of ethical integrity in their field.…
