Clay McMullen is a boy who has been passionate about nature since he was 11. He loves the osprey (an endangered bird) in Ohio (his hometown) and wants to prevent it from ever being extinct. As it states in Teresa Murray’s article, ever since Clay figured out that the osprey relied on wetlands to survive, and 90% of Ohio’s wetlands have been destroyed in the past century, he started to help the osprey to not become extinct. To help this he had an idea to create platforms to sit on tall poles in wetland areas specifically for osprey. He received about $150 worth of materials donated from Home Depot so Clay could build these tall platforms. Later, Clay searched online for where to get grants, and made a request to Disney and was then awarded…

Effective listening involves more than just hearing what other people are saying. Listening errors occur and usually result in misunderstandings, missed business opportunities, premature judgments, and wasted time and money. To get the full meaning of what someone says requires energy and discipline, both of which contribute to what is known as active listening. In the article "Learn to listen, and you'll learn to sell," David Connolly explains that, "the best agents in the insurance industry talk only 20% of the time during an interview with a new prospect, and that 20% is in the form of questions." David Connolly is an independent agent, owner of Splinter Group Consulting, and executive vice president of the Cabinetmaker's Association. David…
Several authors, like Bill Coplin and Marshal Gregory have very strong views about liberal education. Coplin, believes schools should be more job preparation oriented, while Gregory feels the need of liberal arts isn’t just about getting a job, but about being able to find our purpose in life and live our lives fully. Another article written by Jerry Logan and Janel Curry expresses feelings very similar to those of Gregory’s. The approach taken by Gregory, Logan, and Curry gives a very strong case for why Christians should pursue a liberal education. Christian liberal arts education prepares people for their careers, while also preparing people to be ready to do whatever God may ask of them.…
The last difference between Katha Politt and Charles Colson’s essay is tone. Katha Pollitt’s essay is funnier than Charles Colson’s essay. She exposes the humorous example like “marriage is not about Adam and Eva versus Adam and Steve”. Adam and Eva is the famous human that God made, but she changes the thing that the Creator made to make it fun like Adam and Steve. People can understand that simple joke.…
In this passage Quindlen talked about school being out but there was a problem. That problem was that some kids didn't have anything fun to do like some of the other kids. Some kids couldn't go to camps or go on vacations like the other kids. That was because some of the kids weren't living like the other kids some of the kids were homeless and didn't have anywhere to go and didn't have any money.…

Gordon Bennet was born in Monto, Queensland, near Bundaberg in 1955. Gordon is of some Welsh decent and was brought up believing he was white. He later found out in his career that he had some aboriginality. Bennet grew up ashamed of his aboriginality and recalls frequent situations when Aborigines were brought up in conversation. Gordon remembered at school sitting around listening to 'boong' jokes and he thought there was no way he could identify himself to be the butt of those jokes. Gordon remembers certain prominent derogatory opinions made about indigenous people at social gatherings. Gordon states ''I was socialised into an essentially Anglo-Saxon Eurocentric society where attitudes to indigenous people…
Discussing the outcome of a Roundtable discussion of federalism in Australia, John Wanna reported that "...all three levels of government - Commonwealth, state/territory and local - tended to see federalism as a malaise, not as a source of effective government" (Wanna 2007: 276).…
One the narrator’s showcase of conceitedness is displayed through his actions/interactions with others. Upon arriving at the event the narrator is told he will be participating in a battle royal. The narrator relays to the reader “I had some misgivings over the battle royal, by the way. Not from a distaste for fighting but because I didn 't care too much for the other fellows who were to take part. (p.243)” The narrator sees the others as his inferior, as though ignorant to the fact that they are all entertainment. He makes little to any conversation with any of the boys because all that is on his mind is his speech and grandfather’s curse. The persistence shown is shockingly hilarious when the reader reads, “I was limp as a dish rag. My back felt as though it had been beaten with wires… There was still laughter as I faced them, my mouth dry, my eyes throbbing. I began slowly… (p.248)” Had he no respect for his people to walk away from such embarrassment and not deliver this speech? No. His pride was not for his people, but of himself and he was determined to have these men hear his speech. At one point the reader grows concern of whether or not the speech is that important. The reader was surprised by the actions of the narrator, but it is his thoughts that make you question his character.…
Slavery, it has a clear presence throughout history and it paints a disgusting picture of humanity. Many of the cruelties suffered were written down as slave narratives; these narratives provide a glimpse into the lives of slaves. Additionally, the narratives beg for equality through their experiences. Two narratives that detail the experiences of the author’s life well are The History of Mary Prince and The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, Or Gustavus Vassa, The African Written By Himself. Both Mary Prince and Olaudah Equiano’s work depicts their youth, and treatment while also expressing the contrasts in their experiences, such as their freedom and eventual escape…
From the exterior perspective, Eugene Onegin, the protagonist in Pushkin’s novel in verse, Eugene Onegin, is the combination of perfection. He is externally attractive, with his elegant and exquisite attires, his high social status and his wealth. He never worries about his livelihood and income, since he never has to work to sustain himself. His main activity is to entertain himself, like attaining balls and theatres, and flirting with women. However, in contrast, all these luxurious life fails to make him internally happy and satisfied. Pushkin implies Eugene’s gloomy mood even before the novel begins: “The heart’s reflections, writ in tears” (2). The origin of his passive mood is not explicitly explained in the novel. Although Pushkin keeps emphasizing that Eugene gets bored with the balls, the shows, and people around him, his moan and groan still seem come from nowhere. It is hard to get to Eugene’s deep inside to analyze the origin of his negative attitudes, since he keeps feigning his feelings.…
Taking into account all the angles and sides of the story from different people who were vital in the construction of the real picture regarding the occurrences in the story In A Grove by Ryonosuke Akutagawa, in my own perspective, it is Masago whose story has come to be known as the most valid and prominently reasonable explanation behind what events had transpired in the incident. The relevance of her role in the phase of solving the crime serves a great purpose since she is one of the three who were involved in the crime and yet came out alive and is still in the right track of mind.…
