Schools today are in dire need of funding. Government budgets cut far too much from allowances for the educational system, which in turn is unable to provide the highest quality service to young students looking to gain the skills necessary to be successful. As a result of this lack of appropriations, many have looked to other places to find money so that children may receive a better education. One of these places is from corporate donors who would award sums of money in exchange for special advertising space within schools. While some may argue that the corporate sponsorship and advertising in schools may be beneficial to the schools, it is ultimately an unhealthy and would for the most part negatively affect the minds of students who are there to be taught important skills and not be influenced by outside conglomerates…

When writing an assignment for my class, I would use what I learned from class. In other words, I will take the tips and strategies that I have learned from the reading and videos in class as the steps to take when writing an assignment. The first step I take when writing for an assignment is to find a topic that interests me. After finding a topic, I will research my topic to get a better understanding of what I am writing. Then I will start my Pre-writing, by organizing my thoughts in an outline form, to help identify my topic sentence, important facts, ideas and a conclusion for my essay. When I have my outline complete, I can start a rough draft from my thoughts and ideas I used to create my outline. With this step, I can construct my rough draft to form an essay that is informative and interesting to my readers. From there, I will begin revising my rough draft. I will do this by going back over my draft to find to see if my ideas supports my thesis statement and that my paper makes sense. The last step in my writing process is editing. Editing gives me the opportunity to look over what I have written, re-read, and I check for spelling and grammar issues. Taking the above steps in writing helps me to finish my final draft and help improve my academic and professional writing in the future.…
Chris McCandless‘s admirers are wrong to believe that he was a deeply honest person. At some moments in Into the Wild, he was not an honest person. According to Westerberg, a McCandless’s friend, said, “He never explained why he’d changed his name” (Krakauer 18). When McCandless decided to make a trip into the wild, he changed his name; he did not even bring any identification with him. During the trip, everybody knew about him under the name Alex. Westerberg was a friend that was close to McCandless, but he never knew McCandless’s real name until he discovered from McCandless’s tax form. Westerberg was so surprised, but he did not ask McCandless the reason why he changed his name. Westerberg knew something happened between McCandless and his father, which McCandless never told him. Unfortunately, he did not have a change to hear the truth from McCandless. The significance about changing his name was that McCandless did not want everybody to know the truth of his personality. He hid everything about himself and his family, except his sister. It was a pain in his heart when he thought about his father. Beside this, McCandless was also a dishonest person in his family. He kept all things he knew about his father inside, even his sister. In Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer wrote, “but he did not confront his parents with what he knew, then or ever. He chose instead to make a secret of his dark knowledge and express his range obliquely, in silence and sullen withdrawal” (Krakauer 123). These actions by McCandless suggest much about his character. His problem with his father could be solved if he told the truth with his parents, but he never did that. He just kept inside and became angry to his father, even lying to his friend with a new name. Lying with his friend and his family was lying to himself. He could not stand it because his father was lying to him and his mother, but he still repeated the mistake of telling lies with his parents. Keeping…
I am applying for the medical billing position that is being offered here in Dr. Burn’s office. I have some knowledge of Medical Billing because I had worked for a clinic locally in the past. I was faced with a challenge ten months ago when the construction company I had been managing was sold which resulted in major cuts. When I was faced with the challenge of looking for a job I remembered through my experience at the clinic listening to the volunteer doctors who would come in regularly with the same complaint, “The biller just quit again!” That reflection helped me to discover that this would be the direction I would go in. I taught myself the system they were using, which was extremely intense. My one attribute with regard to succeeding is that I have a burning desire to do my best at anything I take on.…

I have applied for a position as a Medical Transcriptionist at Arrowhead Hospital to get back into the medical field. When I graduated from High School, I decided that I wanted to be a Medical Assistant. At that time, I was employed by a company that was in the business of building houses. Once I graduated with my Associates Degree in Medical Assisting, I decided that I wanted to take my medical career further and continued my education with a course in Surgical Technology. Upon completion of my course work in the Surgical Technology program I was required to complete an externship at Phoenix Children’s Hospital within the pediatric neurosurgery department. This was an extremely challenging task as emotionally, I was not ready to deal with the emotional impact of helping babies that were so ill and sometimes terminal. I completed my externship and graduated from the program and at that time, I decided to continue my employment in the homebuilding business. In 2005, the real estate market started to take a turn for the worse and my position in homebuilding was eliminated. Shortly after this, I started a family and made the choice to stay at home with my children while they were young. I am now ready to re-enter the workforce and my past experience in the medical field complements the training that I have received as a Medical Transcriptionist.…
The reason Rainsford lived was because of reason. One example from the text is when he just started to run from the General. The text says “I'll give him a trail to follow” (Connell, 210). This shows that Rainsford had to think about a plan. He does not just start running around on instinct. He had to carefully plan a way for him to escape from the general because he knew that he was a experienced hunter. Furthermore, after Rainsford got his foot stuck in quicksand it gave him an idea after knowing the ground was soft he dug a hole for a trap. Rainsford says “the softness of the earth had giving him an idea… he planted sharpened sticks to the bottom” (Connell, 212). This states that he used reason to build a trap. When he got…

Purpose, audience, tone, and content all work with each other and should be used when writing academically to get the best writing possible. The purpose of the paragraph is why the writer is writing the paragraph in the first place. The writer is sharing their ideas, stories, experiences, information, and the purpose for writing. If there was no purpose of the paragraph, the writer would not need to write it. The audience is an individual or a group of people who the writer is trying to address the paragraph to. The writer should present their ideas to the audience clearly so the information can be easily understood. The writer is informing the audience about a topic in a professional manner. The audience tries to understand what the writer is trying to say. The tone impacts the writing because it shows the writer’s attitude toward the written topic.

It was a sunny day in Dallas on the 10th day of July, 2014. I had a united airline boarding pass in my hand, waiting in this long line with my boyfriend as we embark on our first vacation for Dubai, United Arab Emirate. He is from a family of 6. He was the last born of the family. I had known him for about 6months and during that time I had grown very fond of him. Our relationship began to flourish and that in the near future we would begin to grow closer. We both needed a break from our stress filled lives and I was hoping I could help him overcome whatever tragedy happen in his life because I didn’t understand why he was depressed and get drunk most of the time. He had told me about few things that has transpired between him and his past relationship, but it just didn’t explain all of his emotional problems. Throughout the plane ride, He spent most of the time asking the flight attendants for tasty juice and alcohol. He looked out the window with longing eyes. His eyes seem to be passing a message across to me, but I don’t quite understand. I didn’t understand what was missing from his life.…

We all like to rest and one of the most widespread forms of rest is tourism. Everyone can find in it something that he or she likes. Some like mountains and rivers, others like to lie on a beach or to visit museums, and certain people prefer extreme tourism. Strangely enough however tense nerves can actually help some people to remove their weariness and help them to relax. With every passing year more and more people aspire to see the beauty of the underwater world, to go down from a hillside by ski or even to jump with a parachute. This paragraph will talk about one of the most popular extreme tourism- snowboarding. Snowboarding- descent from the mountain on a specially equipped board. This sport more aggressive, active and more extreme than mountain skiing. Snowboarding as a separate kind of sports has appeared in America in the 60`s. Sworn admirers of this modern hobby generally became surfers, who did not wish to sit at home with nothing to do other than wait for the summer days. Special routes with springboards and other possible obstacles on which snowboarders can show their proficiency have recently appeared all over the world. However the last especially popular among snowboarders became the "half-pipe" - a construction from snow, similar to the stage for scooters. Mountain tourism is the most developed and most popular form of extreme tourism in the world. More and more people are involved in extreme tourism, and extreme usually means sport. In addition it is remarkable, that people wish to go info…
