In the article “Chris McCandless from an Alaska Park Ranger's Perspective" by Peter Christian. Christian talks about how if McCandless had a map and learned about the Alaskan wilderness he could have lived “He arrived at the Stampede Trail without even a map of the area. If he had a good map he could have walked out of his predicament using one of several routes that could have been successful. Consider where he died. An abandoned bus. How did it get there? On a trail. If the bus could get…

Today, I lost it on my son’s soccer coach. I don’t normally pop off, but If I do it’s because you went too far. Popping off is not fun to me. In fact, it embarrasses me to step out of my character, and lose it in front of people. Anyways, the coach made my son feel bad because of how he spoke to him. As a mom to see my son sad, and then burst out in tears made me lose it. My son may not be the best player on the field, but he is smart enough to learn how to improve his self if taught. This coach…

can fantasize about the girlfriends of every other boy in the circle. You can fantasize about any of the boys in the circle jerk, but not if they are standing next to you. An official circle jerk contains seven boys. If fewer than seven boys want to jerk off together, they must stand in single file, and it shall be known as a firing line. If more than seven boys want to jerk off together, it shall be called a Joint Session of Congress. (Alexie 125) What a raunchy and crude way to start a story…

As scary as Erik may first sound, is he as big, bad, and terrifying as the book tries to make him sound? While we do know that he is the cause of Paul’s lack of peripheral eyesight, he looted other people’s houses, and made fun of Mike Costello, who is dead, his importance in the story is quite small. In some chapters, for example, when he's going against the Lake Windsor Soccer Team, Erik is only talked about around a couple of times. What makes Erik even less terrifying is that we don't…

This question is prosing difficulties for me because a person is going to do what they are going to do. I believe that half of the issue is that they do not want to return to the ‘crime scene’ because of the memories that come back. They do not want to be reminded of the sadness that burdened them. I also think that if home euthanizations were more prevellant then people would be more apt to choose that form of method because the pet would be more comfortable. Not to mention the family would be…

Point of view is a key element in every literary work because it shapes the story and the reader’s impressions of characters and situations. Authors use point of view to convey a certain feeling or message to the audience by letting them witness the narrator’s emotions and thoughts. In Gwyn Hyman Rubio’s Icy Sparks, the first person narration gives the reader a more personal perspective of Icy’s illness and a first-hand account of her growth into her adult years. One of the main reasons that…

Hero or Zero? Was Columbus a hero or was he a just a plain jerk? In my opinion I think Christopher Columbus was just a jerk. All Columbus did was walk onto land that already belonged to Native Americans and started to act like it was all his. He also enslaved the natives and made them work on their own land. In elementary school we learned that “In 1942 Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” They told us that Christopher discovered America. In school they also said that he was a nice man and even…

an involuntary twitch. Now you're in prison for treason and being tortured. This is one way the Party controls the bodies of its citizens. The Party is always watching for signs of disloyalty to their system. Another way is the Physical Jerks. The Physical Jerks, to the people, are a mass assortment of morning stretches to start off the day, but they really are just a way to tire the citizens of Oceania out early on. Already tired from the stretches, they are then forced to work long, exhausting…

kids because she was in her thirties and her family was making her feel bad about being single. That neediness caused her to get into a relationship with the first guy she was set up with.

Now, 10 years later, she is married to him, has three kids, and is being abused and cheated…
