Take That

Why I Am Taking College Courses Who doesn’t want to succeed in their dreams and work hard for that success? Growing up, my parents told me what every parent drills into their child’s head, “You can be anything you want to be!” In a perfect world, I would have been ecstatic to begin college and start my life! Unfortunately, that is not how my life panned out. It took motivation and drive to get me on the right track towards college. Once I was on that path, I dreamed as big as I wanted and here I…

It Takes a Team Down. Set. Hike! The first play of the game is underway, and it ends with a loud crack from the collision of two players. You can smell the Vermont autumn air. It’s cool, but the turf below our feet is warm. We’re on defense first, and ready to make statement. But it won’t be made on this drive, the next play the running back goes up the middle and he’s gone. Second play of the game. Touchdown Burlington, and their home crowd explodes. Our coaches keep telling us to stay…

In the essay, “Just Take Away Their Guns”, James Q. Wilson a Management and Policy professor at UCLA, argues that legally owned guns are not the problem, in fact the real problem lies with society ignoring the usage of illegal guns. The purpose of this essay is to convey to society that gun crimes can be stopped before a shot is fired, that it does not entitle a huge stack of forms at the local gun store. Wilson effectively argues that legally owned guns are necessary for citizens to protect…

Thus did the god Dionysus take revenge on one who had scoffed at his sacred rites. Though the story of Pentheus seemed to come to an end, the story of Pentheus and the people of Thebes had only just begun. When Dionysus had turned the image of Pentheus to a mountain lion, the creature had acquired the ability to grow; as Dionysus had once taught the people to grow the vine. From each limb Agave and the followers of Dionysus had wretched, grew a mountain lion. One for Pentheus’ torso, tail,…

In James Q. Wilson’s essay “Just Take Away Their Guns," he expresses how more authoritarian control over guns would not have the best outcome in comparison to actually implementing methods on reducing illegal firearms on the street. Wilson argues that in order to fulfill a peaceful nation, there would have to be a nation wide sequestration of firearms. Although, that could potentially solve and reduce crime, it would also be infringing on the rights of a lot of gun owners. Perhaps more…

the dishes, so I put it off until someone else did them. Another example is that I always wait until the last minute to do my homework. When a teacher assigns homework, I always say I will do it right when I get home, but that never really happens. Take this essay as an example of pushing back homework. I received this assignment on a Tuesday and it is now Sunday, the day before it’s due, so that goes to show that I do not do homework right when it’s assigned. This affects my future self because…

I have long debated why people take selfies and one day I myself, decided to open up an Instagram account. I needed something to post and out of boredom, I began experimenting with the sunlight. It was an odd experience. I came across pictures that brought out my flaws but after several tries, I gave up upon realizing that those flaws were mine. They defined who I was and why I was how I was. I am a very lazy person who has difficulty completing tasks. You can notice that I did not carefully…

rules inherently suggested solely men should court women. It is quite unequal to expect the men to be extra courteous based only on their gender and to expect the women to relinquish their ability to court men. Abigail Collezo, in “Courtesy Should Take Its Place”, reasons that there is hardly a reason to only allow courtesy to be extended in one direction.
