the hardships faced by residents of these camps and the desire for a better life. Many homeless people in populous yet impoverished cities such as Fresno, Nashville, and Los Angeles have set up communities of tents to serve as…

It was the second day of my camping trip; it was probably the most beautiful day so far. In the morning, the sun shined bright in the clear light blue sky, and the ocean was shimmering steadily. Since the weather was so lovely, it made our kayaking trip that much better. Every day, my PEAK group would prepare our dinner. That night's dinner was Spaghetti Bolognese or Spaghetti Carbonara. It wasn’t the best food, but it indeed wasn’t the worst. The instructors, Gabby and Mike, always gave us the…

a good night’s sleep. I step up into my elevated tent, moving the cover aside to step onto the wooden floor got in my sleeping bag, and laid the mosquito netting over me. I then fell down onto my cot and started to go to sleep, hearing nothing but quiet crickets and the occasional owl that hooted in the distance near another campsite. “Good night” I whispered silently to my tent mate Jesse, who was sleeping in a cot on the other side of the tent than me. “Good night.” he replied back.The…

Mr Jones satisfies the actus reus of murder (OU, 2015c, 2.3). Mens rea follows the need for an intention. Mr Jones failing to keep records of checking the tents, nor leaving the campsite under the command of the two inexperienced employees does not foreseeably lead to death being virtually certain, consequently there was zero desire and zero intention by Mr Jones and the mens rea of murder is left unsatisfied…

Water is dripping from the corner of the tent and people are trying to get warm in the slum. Who wants their family sleeping in these conditions? “Camping for Their Lives” by Scott Bransford points out that the tent city is a good community for homeless people but they need better facilities. He uses appeal to emotion effectively, techniques to persuade the reader and interviews to support his argument, but he does not provide enough information about maintenance the weaker side.

desolate road for at least a mile before coming across something that we all were certain was never there before. In the middle of the road was a miniature city of white tents, surrounded by utility vans and several SUVs like the ones we were driving. We pulled to an immediate stop as two guards stepped out from inside the tent through a flap with the words “Restricted Access” in big red letters. We all quickly piled out of the vehicles and surrounded them with raised guns. They were highly…

Scott Bransford uses his piece “Camping for Their Lives” to discuss the growing number of ‘tent cities’, or small ramshackle communities of homeless people, in the western portion of America (McWhorter, 2015, 385). Bransford opens with a picture painted scene of Taco Flat, a tent city located near Fresno, and anecdotes from its residents to guide the audience into the reasons behind said cities. Bransford appears to subscribe to the quote from Larry Haynes found in the article that states: what…

showed us a flat piece of grassland that could be used to set tents and a wasted parking lot that could set bonfire. As we were excited about the available space, the manager turned around and told us that although they had accepted campers before, camping was not a formal attraction there.

How could we find enough tents and sleeping bags for the fifty students who had…
