Carry It On

have been easy for Sarah Polley to keep quiet about the situation and simply live her life, but instead, she came forward and shared her story in spite of the difficulty. This courage is something we would do well to copy. Finally, “The Things They Carry” offers some very important lessons in how to deal with death. Many people are in denial about death, and this is very unhealthy. It is much better to develop an attitude that helps deal with death, so it is not so overwhelming when the time…

In Linda M. Hasselstrom’s essay A Peaceful Woman Explains Why She Carries a Gun she elaborates the dangerous gender issues woman have to face in a daily basis. Especially independent woman like Hasselstrom have to take extra precautions when it comes to protecting themselves. Society strides for gender equality, but in reality equality is far behind. It can be very intimidating for women to be surrounded by a society where some men use sex as a tactic of fear and violence. Women should not live…

people carry many things. Some people carry not a lot. Somethings are heavy real objects and some are just things that are on other people’s mind. Sometimes the things that people carry are a mixture of all of it. The things I carry are real and abstract. In a normal day outside of school I will carry my keys and my house key which is on a lanyard. On that lanyard is an ID pouch that has my license and my debit card. I even put coupons in there as long as they fit. Sometimes I will even carry…

going over a some pros and cons of gun carry by citizens and why we have it, why arming the teachers would be prove to be positive impact on our schools, and would could happen if we did not have armed teachers. Handgun carry has been permitted in all 50 states since 2013. There are many pros to handgun carry by civilians but there is also many cons, But so far they have proven to be a good form of defense by good law abiding citizens. A other pro of handgun carry is that it has lowered all…

Rationale The aim of my assignment was to show up till what extent the poster Keep Calm and Carry on is proof of nationalism during World War II. Due to my assignment being about nationalism, I have decided to redact an essay. Owing to the complexity and extension of World War II, an essay purports to be referred to all audiences and will show in an orderly way the development of nationalism, apart from supporting a point of view upon the propaganda as a result of the onslaught of Britain by…

as it is today. First I will cover the open carry of handguns then that of long guns. Today, thirty-one states allow open carry of handguns without the presence of a permit or license, there are fifteen states that require a permit or license to openly carry handguns, six states completely prohibit the open carry of handguns and eight states have other restrictions on openly carrying handguns. In the same sense there are states that restrict the open carry of long guns, such as rifles and…

As I brainstormed about things that I carry, nothing stood out. Not a single prized-possession, no metaphoric symbols, no family heirlooms, not even an everyday object that I could somehow pull a deeper meaning out of came to mind. I had no words to describe what I carry, nothing at all. And I then realized that I couldn’t have described it any better. I carry nothing. Not because I don’t have anything, even though I once did. Not because there was never something meaningful in my life, because…

intentions for their students, but who knows if they are actually mentally stable? I do not think teachers should be allowed to carry a concealed weapon on school premises. Outside of school, depending on your background check you may be able to conceal carry, which I do believe is a good idea for safety reasons. The only men or women that should be able to carry a gun on school premises is a police officer, or a retired or undeployed military veteran. They are trained for months, if not…

Carry On My Wayward Son The name the British gave the First World War speaks for itself; the Great War, it sounds like a title to an epic where battle is romanticized. Many men who enlisted expected the war to be great indeed, it would be quick and they would return as heroes. The reason the British men expected a great war was partly due to the fact that Britain had not been involved in a full-scale war since 1871, and ever since the idea of war had become a mythical journey, where boys became…

I carry many things on my person at all times of the day. There are things that can be seen and others that can’t be seen. Everything that I carry either has a story or a meaning behind it. The tangible objects that I carry are the ones that have meanings behind them. The intangible ones have stories which give them life and either lift me or burden me. These burdens shape the kind of man I am becoming. The things that you carry help create your character in the game of life. The simple wallet…
