most importantly is the community as a whole good. These simple questions are things every parent has to take into account because there will always be tradeoffs.My parents decided to move from rural kentucky to a similarly rural indiana. The Reason we moved to Indiana was simple work. My dad obtained a job at Toyota. My mom and dad’s choice of community was also as simple because a man my grandfather works for has always lived here. He recommended Owensville as small quaint community to start…

History of Famous Hoosiers There are many famous Hoosiers in Indiana. One of my favorite famous Hoosier would have to be Florence Henderson. The reason I choose Florence out of the other 50 was that she played in the Brady Bunch and that was my favorite TV show. I would say that Florence Henderson’s greatest accomplishment would be starting in the Brady Bunch or possible making her greatest hits. Florence Henderson played Carol Brady the mother in Brady Bunch. Florence Henderson embodies the…

College is undeniebly expensive. Of course many people say that it's worth it, which I do not disagree with, but there is no need for schooling to be so pricey. The most expensive universities are typically liberal arts, which tends to offer a more in-depth view of knowledge through important principals. Because of this, I thrive to be able to attend a private, non-for-profit, liberal arts universtiy. However, it is, and I have to find ways to pay for my very important schooling. I am not…

If farmers realized that deadly pesticides, such as parathion, could hurt people just as easily as the birds and other pests they are trying to put an end to , would they still use them? In this excerpt from Silent Spring, Rachel Carson uses rhetorical devices such as hyperbole, understatement, and rhetorical questions to make the practice of using poisons such as parathion important . Carson starts out by using the symbiotic nature of…

Candy canes are not only a sweet treat, but a symbol of Christ and Christmas time. Candy canes have been displayed and eaten at Christmas for decades, but their origin can be more difficult to decipher. Christianity has played a large role in the symbolism of the candy cane, but much of the candy’s history is too uncertain to fully know the truth. The first account of anything resembling the traditional candy cane lies in Germany around 1670. A choirmaster wanted to create something that…

1994. The Hoosiers got off to a hot start this season, winning their first four four games over lackluster competition. Indiana, however, struggled when conference play began by losing their first six Big Ten games. Indiana, however, was competitive in Big Ten play, losing by just seven points to Ohio State and by eight points against Michigan. Prediction: Duke defeats Indiana 38-27 behind quarterback Thomas Sirk, who leads the Blue Devils in passing and…

However, being from Indiana, I was always considered as rude, fake, cheap or corrupt. Moreover, I was considered to be ignorant as having an education from Indiana schools. Because of which, I remained successful reasonably in this business. This is the special juncture, where, in my view, it is one of the defining moments in my life that hampers…

Personal Narrative “OMG! Really?!” I exclaimed. “Yes, we will be going on a road trip to Disneyland. But we aren’t going to just Disneyland, you know,” my mom announced. “Yeah, we will be going to a bunch of different states and seeing lots of different sites. It will take about a month, as well,” dad added. I sat there in shock. I really wanted to go to Disneyland but a month long trip? What about my friend’s birthday party and the beginning of summer slumber party? “OK...I’m in, but we…

The arrest of one of Indiana's celebrities forces us to acknowledge what many still don't want to believe — the underground business of sex trafficking exists and is thriving. When the Indiana Protection for Abused and Trafficking Humans Task Force, which I co-chair, first started talking about human trafficking in our state, we were met with skeptics. People could not believe this was happening here. Fortunately — and very unfortunately — it's now impossible for even the skeptics to ignore the…
