There was a stage in my life, maybe between grades 11 and 12, where I drank Med-lemon every single morning for a good year. Not because I was sick or feeling a sickness coming on, but because I did not want to get sick. My mentality was that prevention is better than cure; and my parents who love me so much and just want me to be happy would go out of their way after work and buy me a box of Med-Lemon from Clicks which would cost roughly around R70. I didn’t really even begin to consider the…

He says he would not leave anything for his descendants which would make the castle Carnegie bought a waste of his money. However, in the same document he says that another way to get rid of his money would be to give it away while being alive. "The man who dies rich dies disgraced." (Doc 8). It seems more like he is forced to give the money away to be remembered as a good person. Even though he says that if he could, he would take the money with him when he…
In prehistoric times there was a three-age system and the Bronze Age was the second period of the system, before the Iron Age and after the Stone Age. It began in 4000 BCE and lasted until 1500 BCE. It was distinguished by the use of bronze. The Bronze Age was a period of time after the Neolithic Age when ancient humans upgraded from making tools out of stone and hunting and gathering their food to mining and smelting copper and tin in order to make bronze tools, weapons, and farm equipment and…
profits”(206). Many entrepreneurs such as Henry Ford and Pierre du Pont followed Carnegie’s lead. Carnegie started the trend of profit maximization by cost-cutting. Carnegie knew that “machines cost less than men,” and he also learned “what each of the man men working at the furnaces was doing” and “who saved material, who wasted it, and who produced the best results”(99). Using this data that he collected, he compared his works to one another. For those workers “who produced savings” and “whose…
Step in the Arena I suppose it was only a matter of time until we were presented with Luke’s origin story, but I appreciate the show’s forethought into giving it such a well-timed placement within the overall narrative. By waiting until now, Luke Cage avoided feeling too similar to many other superhero stories that can’t resist showing us a character’s history right away. Had it waited any longer, it could have run the risk of putting too much distance between the audience and the action…

place named Coronado Island. In this kingdom there was a king named Jon Center who forever loved Legos. It was finally here. It was the day of the great hamburger cook off. This day also meant the king would choose his new chief, the man who created the best tasting hamburger. “Sir, Sir!” the king’s servant yelled, running through the crowds towards the king holding a paper. “What is so important that you would have to rudely interrupt my cook off?” as King Jon started to get…

Growing up as a child I had a pretty ordinary lifestyle. We lived in a comfortable two story home with one and a half bathrooms and three bedrooms. I had a nice, cozy bed, clothes to drape myself in, and food in my stomach, what more could I ask for? We never really struggled to acquire things but we were not the most blessed family. At the end of the day, we had what we needed and that is all that mattered. My parents are the most diligent workers I know. They made sure all my needs were taken…
