The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree is a saying that is heard often with family. Kids often repeat the mistake their parents made. In the play Fences by August Wilson, The reader introduced to the character Troy Maxson. He’s fifty-three old man, who is a very old school stubborn man. Troy is the man of the household, providing for his wife Rose and his son Cory and occasionally his son Lyons. Within this play, Troy is constantly getting into arguments when they question his masculinity or…

morality. Like most children’s literature, The Wind in the Willows has a didactic purpose. In many ways, it works to impart an appreciation for life and manners. Throughout the novel, characters are praised for their hospitality (as in the case of Rat or Badger), and criticized for their lack of it (as in the case of Toad). Additionally, Grahame wanted children to understand how to act towards others in certain situations. Sometimes Grahame speaks directly to the reader to comment on the…

The topic that the author chose for this essay had the potential to convey some great points of view that may not have been considered by most readers; however, the way the information was conveyed caused her argument to fall short. In my analysis of Pampillonia's essay "The Benefits of Single-Sex Education", I will not be focusing on the problems of her transitions or paragraph structure, but instead on the way that she presents her information. The author not only used her sources…

process. Campaigns are reliant on human nature. In order to become involved with a campaign, a potential volunteer usually needs to know someone who is already part of the campaign. I found this out because until one of my friends started talking about Badgers for Bernie, I did not know how to get involved with the campaign. Even after that, in order to set up trips to volunteer, we needed to go through the organization’s president because she knew many of the field organizers and volunteers in…

Critical Thinking in Law Enforcement A few days ago we did a lesson that I found very hard to get into. This lesson required putting yourself in someone else’s shoes that didn’t have the same morals that you personally did. I had to put myself in the shoes of someone who is vegan, while I am in favor of eating all sorts of meats. Even though it was a hard lesson it opened my eyes to something important. Critically thinking allows you to see both sides of a conflict to be able to come to one…

The Borrowers by Mary Norton is a classic novel that does not get dated with time. “Marcus Crouch comments that, ‘of all the winners of the Carnegie Medal [awarded annually by the British Library Association to the best children's novel of the preceding year], it is the one book of unquestioned, timeless genius’” (Stott). The Borrowers was published in 1952 has continued to be read throughout the following years. This book is still in print and is still being read even sixty years after it was…

disposition; devout, found of retirement, and interested only in such occupations and pleasures as are consistent with a life of tranquility” (Abbott). Apart from her superior wit, Queen Margaret also refused to be the passive wife. She was not afraid to badger the King when she knew he was in the wrong. Margaret called Henry VI out when Gloucester was taking advantage of the King’s passive personality, chastising him about “how humiliating [it was] that a great monarch should be dependent upon…

achievements. We must remember homelessness can happen to anyone at any time, but it is an individual choice whether to work his//her way out of homelessness or stay to request donation in the street for that rest of his/her life. According to an article by Badger Herald entitled “The homeless lack political voices, but not American ideals” Matt Lynch argues that the effort to help homeless people is inadequate and the…
