Although the thesis that SuperCorp was prudent to move its headquarters from Middlesburg to Corporateville could theoretically be true, the author relies on numerous potentially faulty assumptions that render the argument as it is now unconvincing. First, the claim that the recent surge in homeownership in Corporateville proves that it is a superior place to live relative to Middlesburg is problematic. To begin, it fails to address a variety of other possible reasons for Corporateville having such a surge. Perhaps Corporateville's low taxes (stated later in the argument) include taxes related to homeownership, which has encouraged a housing boom. It is also possible that many housing developments have recently become available, allowing people who had already been looking for houses to purchase in Corporateville to finally do as they wished. Either possibility (among others) would weaken – if not disprove – the author's assumption that the growth in number of homeowners in Corporateville shows its superior livability. The claim also fails to address Middlesburg's own housing situation; if Middlesburg is also having a growth in its number of homeowners, then there would not be any direct correlation between growth in homeownership and relative quality of life in the two communities. Second, the author's claim that SuperCorp's employees will be pleased by the corporate move to a non-urban environment because an employee survey has shown that its employees prefer to live in…

music in the background was playing had me intrigued and kept me staying for more. It was an eerie, spooky, dark melody. One that just pierces my ears at the second my ears make contact with the sound. A song where I know something is going to happen at any given moment so I can’t look away. That’s what it was like. The film starts off showing an absolutely beautiful almost Victorian home. Two quarter moon windows that peaked out like eyes and two more windows right below each. There white…

in 2013 but as an entirely different organization. Since emerging from bankruptcy, the company has mostly served niche film markets (Hardy, 2015).

Once Jenny got her coffee she waited for her brother. Ten minutes behind, as usual. Jenny was people watching, as she does in the city, when an old stagecoach showed up. The red color of it surprised Jenny, the wooden wheels creaking as it stopped. The driver pet the two horses carrying it and waited for the passenger to get out. They must be doing tours of the city in the coaches now, interesting. Jenny thought. Caught up in her thoughts, she forgot about her coffee. She took a sip, her tongue…

BC 290 Vacation Essay It’s been 4 years since I left the city of Cambridge to go on vacation to Mississauga Canada to visit my grandmother and family. Since then I’ve been working throughout the summers and the rest of the year so I haven’t had time to go on a vacation.

It was the winter of 2013 and fellow classmates and I from Middlesex Community College climbed Mount Monadnock in New…

Even though I had gotten a cab, I didn’t want to waste Phoebe’s Christmas dough like that. I love her so goddam much, it kills me. So that’s why I was here walking the rest of the way. Fresh air is always good for clearing my head, so it wasn’t too bad. I changed my route just a bit so I could walk through the park. It always gives me this sense of comfort. It just reminds me of the times I actually had fun. I thought about what Phoebe said, how I don’t even like anything a goddam lot. She sort…
