The Bare Necessities

were all you could see for miles. It was a complete mistake when I came across another of my favourite views. The castle upon the crest of a stony mound, which looked over most of the moor. It was like it had been fused to the top of the ridge, a necessity to the moor; it was meant to be there. This location was the quietest, since it was the highest spot. The tips of the fort embraced the blue of the sky and cast a large shadow over the rocks and beyond, like an army of soldiers charging…

An essay on Michael Jackson's moth collection To delve deeply into Michael Jackson's moth collection is an exciting adventure. At first glance Michael Jackson's moth collection may seem unenchanting, however its study is a necessity for any one wishing to intellectually advance beyond their childhood. While much has been written on its influence on contemporary living, it is impossible to overestimate its impact on modern thought. Crossing many cultural barriers it still draws remarks such as 'I…

Conscience and morality distinguish man from monster. Wild animals and beasts depend on hunting for a living, killing prey to keep themselves alive. On the other hand, humans desire more than the bare minimum to survive. Humans are more complex creatures who can comprehend more emotions such as love and regret. In the book Grendel by John Gardner, the title character and beast, Grendel encounters an internal situation that causes him to question the fine line that differentiates man and monster.…

Others believe that we should give away to the needy anything above what we need to survive. In his essay, The Singer Solution to World Poverty, Peter Singer states that we should donate everything that is not a necessity. Singer says that in America a family that earns $50,000 per year spends about $30,000 in essentials and that the remaining $20,000 should be given to the poor and not used for luxuries. This amount is extreme Singer is not just saying give what…

A literary analysis on the tragic necessity of human relations. “ Other things may change us, but it starts and ends with the family.” We do not choose our families, but we become a part of each others lives, if not on a daily basis, on many occasions. When observing a family from an outsiders perspective it can be misleading because even in amiable families their is expectations society instills upon the ideal of the “perfect family”. However, from first hand experience I would say living…

Tao Te Ching? This is to make the reader think and have to choose their own way of interpreting the Tao. One of the paradoxes in the Tao that makes a reader think is the idea of letting things go to move forward. This paradox is used to show the necessity of letting objects and ideas go to try and move ahead in life. Not all of the answers or solutions to this paradox are right and this is why trying to let go is harder than expected. Letting things go though, will ultimately make a person less…

finds that she, as well, needs start-up money in order to buy herself a living space. With this being said, if one does not have a wealthy family or cannot go to college, they most likely will have a minimum wage job. These jobs only pay for the bare necessities. Without help from others, it is challenging to buy a house or vehicle. As a result, one would not be able to transport themselves to work or rest easily; both leading to getting fired. These dead end jobs set up yet another vicious…

The Eighth Amendment is the Amendment under the Bill of Rights I feel is most important with regards to the rights of incarcerated individuals. The Eight Amendment states that each detainee has the privilege to be free under the Eighth Amendment from uncaring treatment or anything that could be viewed as "savage and irregular" discipline. Shockingly, the Eighth Amendment did not plainly characterize what "cold blooded and irregular" discipline incorporates, which means a significant part of the…

should protect the life liberty and property of the individual rights. The participation in the community is now up to the individual to do what they desire. The government, because of the voters not accepting public safety levees, are just doing the bare minimum. Yes, they will continue to protect the individual rights but the people are "reluctant to pay their own way.” Moral education is the foundation of a virtuous citizen. This makes people respect others and be selfless towards their…
