The Ozarks

and unforgiving society, violence can become a tolerated act towards others. Naturally, humans tend to resort to violence when faced with a difficult or frustrating situation. Daniel Woodrell, the author of Winter’s Bone, set the book deep in the Ozarks of Missouri. In a society that is locked away from normal human behavior, the characters learned to resort to the only quarrell-resolving skill they had: violence. Woodrell's characters reflect the human inability to overcome meaningless violence…

rejects showing weakness. I assert that not asking for help and showing pride is a positive strategy because it ensures that Ree keeps her self-respect since asking for help is a sign of weakness as pride and self-respect is very important in the Ozarks. This attitude in the end would help Ree survive and get what she wanted. This is evident when her younger siblings saw the neighbors cut the meat outside and asked Ree if maybe they should ask for some, Ree replied saying not to ask for what…

Meanwhile, unfortunate Sarah was home distressing about me, and the particularly erratic and stormy weather. Texas is where we learned the phrase “tornado watch.” In fact, she went through so many when departed for the second Flight School phase in Fort Rucker, Alabama she declared she would never live in Texas again. And, I was too concerned about dying in a helicopter crash or failing the next phase and “washing out” to give her the attention she deserved. We were newlyweds, and she…

College: Worth the Cost? It’s crazy to think that where a person goes in life depends on what they do when they are teenagers and in their young twenties. Getting a good education is an important part of a person’s life, especially if they want to make a lot of money. If a student drops out of high school, their chances of getting a good paying job slipped to almost nothing. They will most likely be working fast food the rest of their life. On the other hand, a person that graduates college with…

Since my freshman year of college, I have served on a team of volunteer Young Life leaders in Southwest Austin. Young Life is a ministry that reaches out to middle school and…

"Just open the door as I pretended to kick it down." Yeah I was that type of kid but who cares, It’s just one more thing that makes me, me. Even though I have…
