Let's Make a Deal

Some of them chastened and wearied by adversity, wanted nothing more than to hold onto their homes and live modestly (Worster 147).” Furthermore, Kansas also had to deal with the fact that their wheat crops were not producing well along with their other crops.

We’re both trying as hard as we can- giving this all we’ve got. I’m constantly pulling, trying to find out the truth, while they’re on the other side, struggling trying to keep it a secret. Dear momma, I leave the house every morning hoping that I make it back alive. Realizing that the only thing blackness can do in this world is survive. Momma ask yourself, why the fuck does life have to be a…

decision on a terrible camping trip. “Let’s hit the road!” My dad yells while carefully closing the trunk of our car. Hundreds of bags were stacked on top of each other filled with anything we could possibly need for 4 days. The sound of seatbelts clicking fill my ears as I climb into the car. For 2 hours it was me in the back seat, my parents in the front, repeated songs from the radio, and the millions of trees by the aside of the road.

fresh water. My grandfather gets to the back of their herd and makes them move forward so I had to go to the front to steer them to their territory. Since this was one of my first times working with my grandfather with his ranch, I had never led the herd of cattle so it was very exciting for me!

One of the chapters with the most interesting section is when dealing with utilitarianism which means “states that one should always establish and/or follow that rule or those rules which will bring about the greatest amount of good for all concerned” (Thiroux & Krasemann, pg. 437). Utilitarianism is doing what is morally right they would want people who are always wanting the greatest amount of good instead of something bad happening. When going through everyday life people have to know the…

TKAM the year we stopped segregation in schools, our first huge step toward equality. Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. are two of the people that fought for what they believed in and thought was not okay. While I cannot say when this will stop, let’s go back to elementary school and learn the golden rule, treat others the way you want to be treated, and that applies to every living human…

center. He wrote a saying on the wall ahead of him & stared at it for some time: What Would You Do If You Weren’t Afraid? Haw felt that if there is no harm or effect from external world what will you do. There are so many things to do and to achieve. Let’s start the journey without fearing about the results.

Also the speaker in John Updike 's “Before the Mirror" also talks about the struggle that…
