structure. The failure to account for this is seen in the Station nightclub fire that occurred on February 20, 2003. In an article from Pieper, “most concert-goers tried to exit from just one single door-door exit, although three exits existed” (Firefighter Nation, February 20,…

Imagine the life of a soldier, police officer, or firefighter; each occupation launches a person into a “new world”, and their individual jobs each give them experiences much like a hero might have during a hero’s journey. For example, when firefighters go to work, they are put in situations unlike those of others in the workforce. Firefighters have assistance from tools, such as a water hose, as well as from their colleagues. The hero’s journey is an archetype of the common expedition of a…

Do Professional Athletes Deserve the Big Bucks? Have you ever heard of the green-eyed monster? William Shakespeare’s Iago was probably the first to use that term in all of human history in the play Othello, when he said, “Oh, beware, my lord, of jealousy! It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock The meat it feeds on.” …

on writing and competing against one another. The boys are stuck in a bubble and they are not experiencing what life truly is beyond the walls of their school yard. When the firefighters are working to put out the fire, close readers will notice the awkward exchange of glances between the drunk book boys and the firefighters. “We dressed so much alike that the inflections we did allow ourselves-tasseled loafers for the playboy, a black turtleneck for the rebel- were probably invisible to an…

particular situation (Gudorf, 3). In the Gift of the Magi, Della sacrificed her hair to buy her husband a platinum fob chain for Christmas and her husband, Jim, sacrificed his watch to buy Della a very expensive set of combs. On September 9, 2011 many firefighters went into the burning twin towers to try and rescue people that were trapped in the gulfing flames which were rapidly growing as the seconds passed by. Little did they know the buildings would eventually come tumbling down right on…

athletes receive is unbelievable. They earn millions of dollars for doing something most people would call a hobby or do for fun. People would rather see al that money go to someone who contributes to society like teachers, law enforcement, or firefighters. Teachers are the future of our economy because they educate the…

Looking in the mirror at an early age I would tell myself, I can’t wait until I am a parent. I’ve always knew I wanted to be a mother and growing up I thought I would have at least four kids. Children have always fascinated me. Growing up being the big sister in a household with two brothers didn’t prepare me for what it was like having children of my own. I have two beautiful daughters who love to push all my buttons but also push me to be a better person and mother. I believe what has helped…

Child labour is a major influence in the Andy Kissane’s short story, Good Rubbish. His piece challenges notions of working children in developing and industrialised countries, noting the harsh conditions in which children face in the twenty-first century. Jennifer Mills’s short story, Architecture, tells the story of a young, passionate architect that has an endless struggle of extended deadlines, and a sense of endless work. Both these short stories have thought-provoking differentiations, as…

Fire is a national problem that has a huge impact on people, property and the environment. According to the report “American burning published in 1973” annually more than 300,000 people are injured as a result of fire. Additionally, nearly 12,000 lives are claimed with the highest aggregate cost of $11billion in property loss, burn injury treatments and wasted resources. Since the release of America burning these numbers have decreased dramatically. The fire problem in the United States can be…

I would like to start my image analysis with the picture called “Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima” by Joe Rosenthal, 1945. I feel that this image shows that even in a time of war American soldiers stood together to put up the flag of the United States of America. Our flag is being lifted to what seems to be about 5 men they have taken time out of their battle to lift the flag. Around these men it seems to be a wreckage around them maybe this area was bombed and everything came down as well as the…
