In “The Sniper” by Liam O’Flaherty, the central idea of the story is war changes people. War changes people because at the beginning of the story “he finished the sandwich taking a flask of whiskey from his pocket”(O’Flaherty 1). When a person is in the military using a high powered weapon for example; sniper, machine gun,assault rifle, etc. You would expect that person to be 100% sober and not under the influence of anything.To show how war changes people at the end, the sniper had shot…
I am sitting in the Student Commons behind Chick-fil-a observing a guy sitting at a table with two chairs. He sat down with a 1/3 full bottle of ginger ale. What was much unexpected was the guy stopped what he was doing, took off his headphones to untangle them. A couple minutes later, he adjusted his headphone wires three more times. He keeps touching his headphone wires. It seems to me that the guy is very bothered by his headphones being twisted and curled. He tried to make them straight and…
This week was about our volunteer experience and that is what I would like to talk about in my journal. I think that I went a bit non-traditional with doing volunteer cooking and cleaning for Malone’s indigent clients. I really did enjoy it though. My boss said he would rather me spend time within our company doing volunteer work than going elsewhere during business hours. I do not have the opportunity to do anything on weekends with my children being home and my husband having had a recent…
The character, the man from “To Build a Fire” was arrogant in his decision to face the wild alone. Throughout the story the man’s character is overly confident because he did not listen to anyone’s advice. This man was not very smart when he prepared for the trip. I also think that he was not a very patient person. He just left on a trail think he could beat everybody there. I don’t think that he cared that much about the dog that was with him either. At the end of the story, he was not…
After looking at these two articles, I do not agree with the first one: “Don’t Blame the Eater” written by David Zinczenko. There is some point that I want to oppose. In his article “Don’t Blame the Eater”, Zinczenko censures that those fast-food companies cause children to become obese. By talking himself, for example, he used to be one of the fast-food patrons, and his daily choice for dinner and lunch in between Taco Bell, KFC, or Pizza Hut. Zinczenko argues that many parents giving too much…
There are many illusions we see in the world. We are taught to see them early on in life and have been blindly following these things without question. My research paper will be about Atoms and the laws of nature, religion, and the way we see the world. I will be talking through these subjects and showing you how it is all an illusion. What are we, what are we made out of? One way we can find out is if we cut something apart. So let’s say we’re cutting a human. We cut it in half and you see a…
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap On a nice warm afternoon Mario the master plumber and cart driver was relaxing in his home eating mushroom that he smushed in a thousand pieces and made in a mushroom soup. He was so close to going to sleep that's when he heard a knock at the door. Disturbed, he got up and answered the door. It was his sidekick, Big Red the Coyote, and he was not happy. “ Where have you been? I have been looking looking for you and you haven't been answering my calls!!” said Big Red…
even wants friends, or a social life. When Charles got home, he changed into his evening clothes and made dinner. Peanut butter and jelly was the usual, but he wanted something different tonight. Charles decided to make a ham and cheese sandwich. He put his sandwich on a…
Marketing Aspect The marketing aspect of a project study is virtually the life blood of every project. It answers such questions about the demand for the business. Determination of the marketability of a business plan should be done first before discussing any other matters of the project. A study on the profitability of a project is useless without assessing the demand of the business. Marketing strategies is the ‘game plan’ of the business. It defines the mission, marketing, and financial…
green grass blades moved graciously in response to the wind, and the flowers painted a mural. It was lunch- time by now, and I sat on the oak bench, eating my soft sandwich. Then over the fence I saw an short, orange monkey that indicated it was hungry via pointing at its mouth. The cute animal came to me and I accidently dropped my sandwich. It took it and ate it, moments later the poor thing fell on the floor dead. What an accident. Unlucky for me my teacher blamed me for killing the animal,…
