Active fire protection

Pro-lifers Should be Advocates for all Children Many people who are pro-life are serious advocates of unborn children. Many are dedicated to a political position that would even abolish the right to abortion. While I respect this pro-life position, I believe that people who are truly pro-life should be consistent in their advocacy of all children -- unborn and born. As much as advocating for the lives of unborn children, pro-lifers should focus as well on protecting the interests of the nearly…

Female Firefighters: Women in the Fire Service Female firefighters have been a fairly recent addition to the fire service. Firefighting was thought to be a man’s job. Since the Civil Rights Movement, female firefighters are becoming more and more common even though they currently only consist of about 3% of the entire fire service. The acceptance and proper treatment of female firefighters has been difficult over the past 50 years, but they continue to make headway. Gender bias and sexual…

As individuals, we are enabled to discover ourselves and the world around us. With this concept, it is essential that we face difficulties, which enable us to learn from previous experiences and transition toward success.

Before Beowulf goes into battle with the fire-breathing dragon, Wiglaf says to the other soldiers, “Let us go to him/help our leader through the hot flame and dread of fire” (2648-2650). Through these actions of the soldiers, they continually show the friendship they have with him by not allowing Beowulf to go battle alone. As a reward for Beowulf…

Could you ever imagine waking up one day and everything was different? Not being able to be sprawled out in your perfectly good bed each morning, but waking up in various locations for protection. Having to carry some sort of weapon every time you go outside just in case you run into a pack of zombies looking for fresh flesh. This all seemed too much and it was only my first year at Missouri State. A zombie apocalypse was not something I expected from college, especially to be one of the few…

What do you believe the best genre is for literacy? Well, I believe that fiction is the one that interest me the most. Three reasons why I think fiction has changed my perspective in literacy is the creativity, my brother, and the Hunger Games series.

Fiction is something that can just be really fun to read/write because of the…

The picture of persuasion Vladimir Nabokov paints throughout Lolita cues the reader through its language, stylistic devices of repetition, metaphor and alliteration. This passage is no exception as the readers is thrown into a pool of ambiguity, left to their own devices and the seduction of Humbert Humbert to discern what is right or wrong? Worthy of forgiveness? Is Charlotte’s death Humbert’s fault? There are no clear answers and this is precisely what makes good literature what makes Lo lee…
