Put On

Personal Narrative “I dare you to put these chokecherries up your nose!” said my older sister Ashley, as I stood on my tippy toes to reach a clump of the bitter red cherries. I watched her closely as she put a cherry in each nostril, took a mouthful of air and shot them out like asteroids zooming towards Earth. It didn’t look that hard, I mean what's the worst that could happen? Get them stuck in my nose? I was in second grade at the time, while Ashley was in fifth. We were at our cabin just…

are his opinion and are not a hundred percent correct; although he is very educated. Friedman uses a lot of ethos, pathos, logos in his argument to try and persuade his audience (anyone reading this column.) He constantly uses the phrase "how do we put in the Oval Office..." and follows with a fact about Trump. Friedman is mostly one sided and only talks about is arguments bashing Trump and focuses little on Clinton, which can be an issue when someone wants another perspective. An opposing view…

There are few men that challenge not only themselves, but the people around them to reach for the stars. Even fewer people actually reach them and not just figuratively. John F. Kennedy did exactly this in his speech to address America’s decision to put a man on the moon. The year was 1961 the cold war was in full effect and Russia was making headway in the race for the moon. The Russians had succeeded in putting the first man in space along with launching the first satellite into orbit. These…

importance of sight by giving the audience a self-explanatory title. In “Before I got my eye put out,’ the author uses a little more explicit details such as in (line 13) it says “between my finite eyes.’ This is saying that the sight is limited and vision is a precious thing to the author, not just something she takes for granted. Many people have vision, but limited vision. In (line 12) of “Before I got my eye put out,” it says “As much of noon as I could take.” Many people in the world…

When you go to sleep every night thinking “Why did God put me in this world”, it’s very hard to find a reason to live anymore. Day by day you lose the things that mean the world to you. You honestly feel like you’re living a real life hell. You wonder to yourself why you keep holding on, isn’t it better…

In the October 2015 issued in The Atlantic new paper, Andrew Moravcsik, wrote an article called “Why I Put My Wife’s Career First.” The subheading of the article is: “the well-being of children, the status of women, and the happiness of men depend on whether fathers are willing to take on primary parenting roles.” Moravcsik argues that as one parent moves into the workforce especially into a demanding career, whereas the other parent regardless of gender must take on the leading role in the…

Why should someone be put in danger because the colour of their skin is different? The issue I am talking about today is one of the most long-lasting concerns of humanity. We thought racism ended about 60 years ago, but what people don’t realize is that every day and every night there are unspeakable acts of racism taking place around the world. For example, months ago in Baltimore, a police officer murdered a young black boy. It seems that the people that are meant to protect us are the one…
