If you have ever met an open source enthusiast, you’ve probably heard their reasons behind why they believe it is the best and only way of the Internet. It is undeniable just how many benefits open source software offers, but the most controversial question today is do those benefits outweigh the negatives? If you are unaware of what open source is, here is a quick summary that those of us who aren’t technically inclined can understand; it’s free to use, you can customize it, security…

of what Mrs. Mallard is doing alone in her room symbolizes freedom. When she goes to her room, presumably to grieve, she is actually realizing her future. The narrator speaks of her looking out of an open window at patches of blue skies (426). The window is being used as a representative of the open opportunities in which she will now experience. The text also mentions tree tops, birds twittering, and the smell of a coming rain storm, indicating that this is taking place during the springtime…

interesting, and everyone could relate to it in some way or another. It wasn’t just about sex, but also about love. I got to write about my own personal love experience at the very beginning of the semester, and I feel like it was my best paper. It really set the mood for the remainder of the class. While some of the papers were hard to begin, it was always interesting to see what new thoughts and ideas would come into my head while writing a paper. I never thought that I would be arguing about…

Gun control has been an issue that is discussed in schools, political debates and is always a basis for anyone running for the presidential office. Should teachers and faculty be allowed to carry firearms in schools to protect the students? There are always two sides to the issue.

I plan on setting my own views aside on this…

The entitlement is so valuable to the American people that the law was placed second on the bill of rights. In today’s world, many politicians are trying with all of their power to make personal gun ownership illegal in the United States. In many incidences, this is done in response to the murders,…

The idea of sports has been around since humankind. Ancient Greece introduced the Olympic Games in 776 BC which still to this very day encourages athletes to train for early on in their lives (“’History’”). Cristiano Ronaldo for example was only ten when he was deemed “A phenomenon—a kid who ate, slept and drank the game” (Christiano). George Jr, or better known as “Babe Ruth”, was only seven when he was introduced into baseball (Babe). How do children grow up to be talented in a sport? The…

On “The Marrow of Tradition” As “The Marrow of Tradition” hurtles towards its conclusion, its author, Charles Chesnutt, has two of its main characters – the half-sisters Mrs. Carteret and Mrs. Miller – stand “face to face” for the very first time. Both characters are devastated, inconsolable; indeed, the very air between the pair seems heavy, suffused as it is with a heady amalgam of private and public tragedy. It seems almost fitting, after what has just happened (in the narrative), that the…

Every 15 minutes a college shooting occur. For the safety of the campus’s students and faculty, guns should be allowed on college campuses. Most people feel safe when there is a gun near or around.
