population I wish to serve is Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) students. EOP students are students who have been identified as having the talent and ability to succeed in college, but have been placed at a disadvantage by financial and academic circumstances. Approximately 93 percent of EOP students have family incomes of less than $25,000 per year (Educational Opportunity Program, n.d.). Although colleges and universities are becoming increasingly diverse, there is a gap between ethnic…

cannot notice signs of domestic abuse or mental issues. Without a teacher there daily, guiding students through obstacles of life and learning, many students would lose out on opportunities for a savior, a mentor, and/or a friend. Kids with extenuating circumstances would be doomed to suffer in silence as they chug away at their…

It is not without value for human life that one insists that an unborn child is better than a suffering child. Laws governing the practice of abortion Pro-life supporters propose that an embryo has everything required to have the same moral standing as any living human being from the moment of conception.

does incorporate the definitive theme of the story into the tone. A particularly noteworthy example of this is when the two waiters discuss the younger waiter’s desire for the old man to leave the bodega. The younger waiter disregards the extenuating circumstances of the old man’s life, and callously tells his colleague, “I don’t want to look at him. I wish he would go home” (Hemingway, 160). No judgement whatsoever is placed upon him by the other waiter: Hemingway simply reports what has been…

is soon after the dinner with the Thibodeaus. One night she slams a bowl down yelling, “All I do is cook and clean and pick up after people… People just waiting for me to serve them, with their faces hanging out.” (Strout, 13). There is no extenuating circumstance here that causes Olive to say this, rather it is just a random outburst which hints that this isn’t just a random…

Science Fiction Paper “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” - Charles Dickens. I guess if you think about it, this applies to me.

United States prisons are overcrowded. There is a huge problem with persons who commit minor offenses being handed major punishments. This problem has been going on for decades. Everyday individuals are being incarcerated for less severe infractions of the law and their whole lives are being changed with the drop of a gavel. There is a bias in our criminal justice system that people have been trying to cover up for generations. Rather than rehabilitating and helping to educate those who violate…

was happy that he died “Come have a look, it’s gone and croaked- just lying there, dead as a doornail” (44). Gregor’s family did not care for him anymore and no longer saw him as Gregor, but only has an insect. Moliere and Kafka both used extenuating circumstances to save their main characters from the situations they put themselves…
