    In Malcolm Gladwell’s non-fictional book David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants he carefully utilizes anecdotes, studies, charts, and research to analyze, “...What happens when ordinary people confront giants” (Gladwell 5). He takes the original Biblical story of David and Goliath and breaks down each side to certain advantages and disadvantages. Anyone who knows this story may make the mistake of assuming that this story's about the weak beating the powerful. The vulnerable one in this case will be Goliath, a slow, stagarring, and half blind giant (14). A common theme can be followed throughout his book, where the strong giants are often surprisingly weak and those who seem to be weak underdogs turn out to be…

    The governor of Connecticut recently proposed raising the age of juvenile jurisdiction to twenty-one as a way of keeping young offenders out of incarceration. In the ensuing debates on whether this is a good idea or not, experts also disputed the appropriate cut off age for juvenile court. Carmen Daugherty, in her article “No One Younger Than 18 Should Be Tried as an Adult,” suggests eighteen as the age limit. She attempts to persuade readers that the practice of trying, sentencing, and incarcerating youth under eighteen in the adult criminal justice system should be terminated as it fails to meet the needs of adolescents. Daugherty appeals to logos to support her claim.…

    Elizabeth Cady Stanton once said, “Woman’s degradation is in man’s idea of his sexual rights. Our religion, laws, customs, are all founded on the belief that woman was made for man.” But it is also the same for the blacks at the time, they who are black or are female do not compare to the men of America. In “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” and the “Declaration of Sentiments”, Frederick Douglass and Elizabeth Cady Stanton had the same basic purpose for giving their respective speeches, and they accomplished their end goal in very similar ways, including, that they both wanted equality, they had experience, and both were very brave.…

    The system of slavery, which brutally exploited the labour of a large and primarily Black population, shaped the history of the United States of America for over four hundred years (Davis: African Slavery, Sept 28). A primary tactic that was implemented in the system was to eliminate any motive of forming black communities by discouraging family ties. Many slaves resorted to documenting and preserving these experiences of slave cruelty through slave narratives, a genre of literature similar to autobiographies. Slave narratives can be regarded as a source that appeals to collective humanity through the complicated and multilayered acts of resistance carried out by the protagonists against their masters. By using Harriet Jacobs’ narrative entitled…

    I disagree with your statement that Holden is confident. You mentioned that he has no qualms about criticizing others, however, he never actually voices any of these criticisms outloud. He merely thinks them. For example, Holden says that Ackley has a “terrible personality” and is a “nasty guy” yet he is still kind towards him, or at least civil (Salinger, 19). Even though Holden may dislike Ackley, he still allows him to spend time in his room and makes conversation with him.…
