The Bare Necessities

four bags with alterations did not grow. Both of the hypothesizes for these experiments stated that the control bag would germinate the best, which the data supported. Most likely, the control bag germinated because it gave the plant all of the bare necessities for survival and its resources weren’t tampered with. The bean seeds that attempted to germinate in the conditions which were different from what they normal would (i.e. colder climate, more acidic water), had to adapt to the new…

monotonous tone with little no emotion: “[sliding] along the counter, [plucking] off the cap, [unwrapping] the body” (Dillard). The medical related aspects of caring for the new born baby were catalogued with no description, said only with the bare necessities. The plastic ID card and umbilical cord were seen as just that to the nurses. However, the narrator added her own emotional connection to the baby.…

The confrontation against otherness, that is to say with someone who is different from us, places us instinctively in a situation of intolerance because acknowledging that someone else is right would be lived as a kind of humiliation since it would mean that I'm wrong. However, it also appears obvious to defend tolerance as a result of the mistakes from the different wars of religion. It is in this perspective that John Locke wrote his Letter on Tolerance, and I am going to try to analyse it.…

threw the lightswitch but the power was already gone. A dull glow rose in the windowglass” (McCarthy 52). The light and jolts from the Earth would suggest a catastrophe similar to that of a volcanic eruption. The land that remains after the disaster is bare, lifeless, and burned. Animals are practically extinct, vegetation has been destroyed, and the humans that remain will either die of starvation or live with insanity. In the beginning the father did not know if life was better elsewhere,…

Here at Delphos St. John’s it is scheduling season, the confusion and uncertainty is roaming through the minds of the students. With the school only offering the bare minimum of classes, students do not broaden their horizon and try new things. It is sad that students are not interested in the classes they sign up for. They just pick something to fill the schedule, not because they are interested in learning that material. Students are at a disadvantage when they go to college for the reason…

This can be argued in either direction whether or not that school is for both or one of the two. You go to learn or set out to your dream of glory and fame by playing sports. Most people argue that if you don’t set reasonable goals and have the bare necessities to survive in the real world than you didn’t learn in school. They think that sports should be excluded and school should only be for learning. I think that school is for learning but sports have lifetime benefits like working hard, being…

to achieve his independence he will risk his human comforts and eventually his life. As an adventurer, Chris has forfeited his possessions and surrenders almost all the comforts of a ‘normal’ life. On all of his adventures Chris carries the bare necessities in his backpack, no more and no less (Krakauer 4). He no longer has access to plentiful amounts of…
