The Bare Necessities

The American lawn is one with a rich history of not just grass types and landscaping techniques, but of the personalities of everyday people spilling out before their house for the whole world to see. With the ever-changing and ever-increasing busyness of life, people are forced to either neglect their beloved lawns or hire outside help in order to maintain a high caliber image. This is where companies, such as Lawn Butler, come into play. They give average, busy people the chance to maintain…

the essence of Hemingway’s style, and captures his prose at its best. Hemingway’s writing style is sparse and effective. Sentences are short, sharp to the point, and have very little way to flowery words or fancy punctuation. He only uses the bare necessities,…

There is a stereotype among which jobs in society are deemed respectable. In “Working At Wendy's” the main character described applying to Wendy’s and what it was like working there while his wife finished her last semester of college. When people asked him why he was working there he was quick to tell them it was temporary and that he was in college, as if he was ashamed to be working there. This is a stigma we still see in everyday life that allows society to justify paying them low wages.…

One morning in high school, I overslept my alarm. With only about ten minutes to get ready, I did the bare necessities: brushed my teeth, combed my hair, and threw on the nearest clothes I could find, slipping on my backpack to rush out the door. I didn’t have the time to put on makeup. In second period, John did a double take at me and said, “Wow, you look tired.” The irony was that I actually slept an extra hour that morning, but to him my natural under eye bags looked like exhaustion. In…

mead and all the eating, Grendel comes in and devours 15 soldiers and grabs 15 more for later. When Beowulf gets their, to Hrothgar’s mead hall, Beowulf says “I will fight him, but only if I can wear no armor and only if I can fight him bare-handed” Beowulf’s bare-handed and no armor battle intertwines with Glory, but that is something we’ll talk about when we get there. The battle ends with Beowulf, “who has the strength of 40 men in his hand”, ripping off Grendel’s arm and keeping it as a…

Cannibalism is one of the greatest sins but is a key to understanding how a zombie operates internally. Therefore, when the dead return, they become a living nightmare. Death has been our ultimate fear as cultures are taught that if we don’t honor the dead, they will return to seek revenge. Zombies are everything that we are most frightened of engraved in our pop culture. One thing remains their unscrupulous appetite for human flesh and endless means to obtain it. Rests assure that the living…

Jones; I do not believe that people are naturally evil, or at least most people are not. I believe that people are weak, that they succumb to peer pressure, greed, and false promises. They do these horrible acts for the hope of acceptance or for bare necessity. All it takes is one bad apple to ruin the entire tree since the rest rot in its…

others get for the same MS-DRG, even if additional services were done. Outpatient reimbursement however is done by the actual services and testing provided. Everything basically boils down to this- insurance companies want to pay back the bare minimum. All of these rules end up helping them more than they do the doctors, facilities, or patients. However, there is no way people could afford most of their healthcare without insurance, so we must follow their payment…

The house is silent, stripped of the normal voices and thundering feet. The room is bare, it appears as if vacant and unused. The fan is off, the humid air pressing down on the girl hunched over the only object in the room. But I thrives in this atmosphere, the lonely house allows my thoughts to speak as loud as they please, the empty room eliminates all distractions and I prefers to be sticky with sweat than disturbed by the inevitable rattle of the fan. Everyone has their own preferred…

Hoping to change that, I had either of the two options, which were to begin prioritizing my school work over trivial hobbies and activities, or of only completing the bare minimum so as to gain what is deemed as acceptable grades. Wanting to strive for the best, I had made the decision of better prioritizing my tasks and necessities, and of course it wasn’t easy. But having taken such a decision helped in raising my grades, if only a little. Thus proving that, with having taken such a decision,…
