The True Believer

“Stop and put your hands where I can see them!” The officer hollows as he continues running after the boy, who has the stolen loaf of bread cradled in his arm like a running back running a football. Donny bolts through the busy sidewalks filled with people. The officer continues behind him and radios in but is slowly losing track. “We have a 10-43 requesting backup on Yawkey way.” Donny has a 100 foot gap on the enervated officer. Donny reaches the street corner and makes the split-second…

overseas. To make my dream come true I always pray to God and tell Him about my dream at night before I sleep, and I believe it’s going to happen one day. So I started to develop my English skills. Another thing is when I was in last year in my high school I’m looking for any overseas scholarship. Finally, I found one, this scholarship is especially for Papuan students like me.so this is a very great opportunity for me to try to get this scholarship to make my dream comes true. So I tried to…

Narration Summer is when people have fun with friends, enjoy the hot, dry air, go swimming, and live it up. It is when they are finally out of school and feel free again because they have nothing to worry about for the next three months. However, if someone wants shoes as nice as the Mizuno Wave Inspire 12’s like I did, one has to do a little work. The shoes looked so light that when wearing them, it would feel like walking on clouds, and the color was a gorgeous Key West green. My uncle is…

Ulysses and Santiago “We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us” (Joseph Campbell). This quote relates to the two stories because the main characters had to ditch their past life for their new ones. Santiago and Ulysses can easily be compared or contrasted. They are alike in tons of ways, but they are also so different. They are two completely different who are strangely alike. They both find help on their journeys from surprising strangers who…

alloy wheels, and the best part was that it was a stick shift. Sitting inside the car for the very first time was a feeling that I will never forget. I know that most cars come standard with those features, but back in 2004 that car was my dream come true, specially after watching The…

How would someone act if they were blamed for the death of their wife, and then their child is swept away because they were not responsible enough to take care of them? This surreal problem happened to Charlie in the short story, “Babylon Revisited” written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Charlie struggles with himself after loosing his wife because he feels grief and pain, madness towards his sister-in-law for not believing that he could change, and the fear that he may not be given the chance to be a…

Gettier approaches knowledge as a personal view of knowledge a knowledge that through justified true beliefs one cannot have knowledge of something due to limitations of the self-obtained knowledge. Zagzebski says that these limitations are inescapable when talking about knowledge formed from justified true beliefs as most knowledge is obtained through luck that one 's justified true belief fell upon through chance. I will argue that both of these models don 't view knowledge in a way that…

solid means of epistemically justifying an individual's beliefs. The Gettier Problem is a commonly discussed challenge to the traditional way of defining knowledge. The traditional way is when a person has a belief that turns out to be accurate and true, while he is also justified for having that belief. For example, Peter claims that the Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA Finals. Peter is a very dedicated sports fan and pays close attention to basketball, looks at all the stats, knows which…

To myself, the noble. How can I find a single reason to stay alive when the shining light of yesterday is a promise on borrowed time? It’s a dream warped by sadness, a world in pieces that I am obligated to rebuild in her name. Success simply means we get to move on with our lives but move forward sharing the profits with friends. Failure is not an option for failure would mean we should kill ourselves for the disgrace of defeat would be too shameful to bear. We must make our company, we must…

The young freshman had actually yet to sleep with any girls at the College. In fact, he'd only had sex twice in his entire life, both of those intoxicated fumbling's with High School whores who'd spread their legs for any male with a bottle of liquor and an attitude; both of which Stuart possessed in spades, and had occurred in the early morning hours, under cover of darkness. Obviously, that number had been multiplied ten-fold when swapping stories with the other members of Delta Tau Chi, as…
