One of the most important essays in this chapter was called “Tie the Knot”, by W. Bradford Wilcox. This argument was written by a sociologist, who argues that with a change in social policy, individuals will be more inclined to marry at a younger age. He states that in turn, this can create a “stronger country overall” (585). As I read through this essay, I noticed that there are many ways in which the author is effective in his argument. The three methods that the author uses to create a strong…

The first scale I chose was the self-esteem scale. After filling out this scale I believe that I was high on that particular trait. But, I feel like the scale did a reasonably good job in assessing the trait of self-esteem. The only reason why I personally believe that the scale did not do a great job in assessing the trait is because of a couple of the questions. For example, the fourth question asks “I seldom feel blue”. This question to me, does not relate to self-esteem. Seeing that everyone…

They were talking about something, but I was too nervous to talk (or pay attention at all for that matter). We were on our way to our third cross country meet of the season. The reason I was so nervous was because last meet I had finished 18th overall, or second place sixth grader, and now I felt an overwhelming needed to finish at least…

I am privileged in the sense that I live in the United States of America in a single-family house share among my dad, my mom, and myself. However, I did not always have the idea that I was privileged though. Growing up I went to India plenty of time but I did not make much of it. My parents would donate food and clothes to the poor in India, but as an infant I obviously has no understanding of what was going on. This all changed. One day when I was about eight years old and traveled to India a…

An unexpected knock comes from the door and I almost don’t answer. I don’t want to answer it. I’m back in the room, I woke up for the first time as a demon in this stupid rebel base. There are two guards constantly posted at my door, and it’s been nearly five days since we arrived. We was easy to escape the lab once in the carrier and within an hour, we picked up Walker and Skye. Flying was partly terrifying since mine and Flich’s flying skills are horrible. Even when Jensen woke up, he was…

Kids these days love to get what they want. Most of them are shown that they need to earn it, or either wait for it. This causes children to flare and want to get a job, to earn the things they want sooner.
