I went into the cave to try and get some sleep but couldn 't. I finally dozed off at 6:30 but was awaken at 7:00 am. I heard voice outside of the cave getting closer and closer. I knew I had to leave. As I ran out of the cave, four people came into the cave. Luckily, there were two entrances to the cave and I slipped out of the other entrance just before the people would have been able to see me. I ran down the mountain as fast as I could, still limping from the car crash earlier. Even though…

With the apparent escalation of gun violence on college campuses and educational facilities, and the current ability of the news media to notify citizens as it occurs, the topic of protection and prevention is a high priority in the country. Understandably, due to the foreboding anticipation of such tragedy occurring again and again throughout time, the subject will not rest, but how it is addressed and transmitted through our culture is of significance in society. As expected, many express…

Gabriel Montegut, born in July 30, 1839, was the great-grandson of Dr. Gabriel Montegut, who came to Louisiana from France in 1760. Dr. Montegut held a military commission as a surgeon under Spanish rule, and was the first resident surgeon of the Charity Hospital in New Orleans. Dr. Montegut’s wife, Francoise Delisle Dupart’s family came to Louisiana with Bienville. One of their sons and grandfather of Gabriel, Edgar Montegut was the mayor of New Orleans in 1844 and established St. Sophie…

Why She Carries a Gun In the passage “A Peaceful Woman Explains Why She Carries a Gun,’’ the author explains why she decided to start carrying a gun. The author states that she carries a gun for protection. I believe that everyone has a right to bear arms in the right cases such as: self-defense or when another person is in danger and the option to “get help” from law enforcement has been decreased. In saying this I agree with her decision to carry a gun. According to the 2008 National Crime…

Earlier this year on January 5, President Barack Obama sought to close the “gun show loophole” by stating that “Anybody in the business of selling firearms must get a license and conduct background checks or be subject to criminal prosecution.” (Watch) This sounds like a feasible plan and it would be except for one thing; President Obama did not specify what qualifies as being in the business of selling firearms. Does he mean all gun dealers who sell firearms as a career or is he implying that…

As you are well aware, gun violence in the United States has been increasing and is becoming especially present in Washington. Following the January 26th shooting near Belfair, we have seen 7 more cases of mass shootings in our state alone. Thats over 30 people who will never return home to their families. I never believed that a shooting would affect me, until June 30th, 2016. This was the day of the Mukilteo shooting where a jealous ex-boyfriend went to a house party and killed 3 people, one…

You hear a noise in the room, and when you get up to investigate; there is a man tip-toeing through your living room towards the kids’ room. At this point all you can do is call the police, but by the time you do that it might be too late. You have no idea who this man is or what he is attempting to do. It’s 2016 and in America we’ve encountered many at-home tragedies that could’ve been prevented. One’s worst nightmare is their family being in danger and their ability to do anything about it is…

By Federal law gaining legal access to a gun is a process simpler than a refinancing a family home in the United States. Our government states that under federal law a licensed gun dealer cannot sell any handguns and/or ammo to anyone that is under 21 and can’t sell long arms (Shot guns/ rifles) to anyone under the age of 18 but an unlicensed dealer cannot sell handguns to anyone under 18 and can sell long arms to anyone regardless of age. Everyday there are up to nine deaths under the age of 21…

Gun control can go both ways. Either you completely support guns, or are utterly against them. There is an in between, but that does not really matter in this case, mostly because the in between people most likely do not care. In the many articles that I have read, it seems there are more people for the ban of guns rather than letting them just go around and be easily bought like they are now. I will bring up the pros and cons of having and not having guns. What America would be like if we did…

Gun control is a major hot button issue in the United States currently; there are multiple different viewpoints and many different facts supporting those views. In order to support these viewpoints arguers will appeal to a person’s character, emotion, and utilize facts to persuade that person. These aspects are respectively called ethos, logos, and pathos; these three tools of rhetoric are used to support both sides of the gun control debate. All three of these tools use the idea of labeling to…
