By the Way

In The Week article “How to rig elections, the legal way”, The week staff describes how parties gain an advantage by redrawing voting districts. This process of redrawing voting districts to favor one’s political party is considered gerrymandering.

Gerrymandering has been successful in recent years because in 2012…

The concluding part of the Cleveland Way leaves the hustle and bustle of Scarborough behind and returns us to the more enjoyable cliff paths. The coastal scenery is stunning, and with just over 500 feet (152m) of ascent remaining we can appreciate the closing miles and reflect on some of the more memorable experiences of our journey. Resuming from the harbour, we continue along the seafront around the South Bay to the Spa Complex. In 1626 Elizabeth Farrer, the wife of one of Scarborough’s…

In Metaphorical Ways of Knowing, Sharon L. Pugh, Jean Wolph Hicks, and Marcia Davis emphasize how metaphors have the ability to raise hidden or subtle commonalities seen in everyday life (18).

Pugh, Hicks, and Davis as authors…

Sywin’s way When nothing but a cub, Hakna was nothing to his mother. He was raised in a den on the far side of the mountain. All of his wolf family including his mother, father, and six siblings, were a bright white. Hakna was black. All of his family had black eyes, not Hakna, his eyes were purple. No one knew what was wrong with him many said he was bad luck. At the day of his birth his mother pushed him into the water. He sputtered and kicked his legs, he moved his paws frantically, instead…

Their disapproval stems from the idea that the government is to protect an individual’s right to life, but the death penalty takes this away. The article, “The Way of the Gun”, says that guns are only used to kill. As a means to end gun violence, he first pushes for Christians to have no association with guns. His viewpoint resembles that of liberal, who believe more gun control laws need to be passed…

luxuries are granted to the citizens of the U.S. such as technology that helps us get through the day. These luxuries are not available to people in other countries and I believe that if I had to step into one of the four children in the movie On the Way to School I could handle living Carlos’s life. Carlos lives in Argentina and is 11 years old which is near my age, but that is the only thing we have slightly in common. We live completely different lives and Carlos does not have all the…

The reading material and lecture discuss several theories about ways that agnostids live. The writer presents several theories including free-swimming predators, seafloor dwellers and parasites. However, the professor put forward three reasons that directly contradict the theories and effectively prove that they are not persuadsive and somewhat inaccurate. First of all, the writer suggests that agnostids can swim freely in the ocean. By contrast, in accordance with the professor, this veiw is…

In A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah, the key motifs: survival, perseverance, and family support the theme, challenges can be faced by using perseverance and maintaining hope. Survival is one motif because Ishmael, the main character, is motivated to survive as he witnesses many horrific events. “All the captives stood at gunpoint watching as the rebels proceeded to interrogate the old man” (Beah, 2007, p.g. 32). Ishmael constantly ran away from the rebels to hide. He had to escape the rebels and…

about her significant other Manech (Gaspard Ulliel), who is supposedly dead, sentenced to death with four others for weakness by the French military, for self-mangling, in a situation much the same as that in Stanley Kubrick 's first incredible film, Ways Of Transcendence. Ulliel gives a decent execution as an amiable naïf. The other four sentenced to pass on are Bastoche (Jerome Kirchner), a craftsman; a communist welder named Six-Sous (Denis Lavant); an apprehensive Corsican procurer and cheat…

Working for a Way Out No parent would ever wish for their child to be raised in the slums of India. No parent would ever wish for their child to have only a fifth grade education.

You would expect nothing but destitution and…
