In the essay, The Boston Photographs, Nora Ephron argues that it is “irresponsible” and more “inaccurate” that newspapers show pictures of death unless they come from the Associated Press Wire (Ephron 172). The Boston Photographs is one of the reasons why Ephron feels that way. The Boston Photographs are a series of photographs of a fireman trying to rescue a lady and a child from a burning building. As the fireman reaches for the rescue ladder the fire escape they were standing on collapse, which causes the lady and child to fall from the top of a five-story building. Stanley Forman, the photographer who took the pictures, captures just about everything from the fire escape breaking to nearly the lady and child hitting the ground. Unfortunately, the 19 year old Diana Bryant did not survive the horrible fall, but the child did by landing on Diana’s body. This whole incident caused quite a stir with the press.…

Diamond’s model is an explanation by Jared Diamond of how our society have collapsed in the past and how it will collapse in the future. It discussed five set of factors that indicate the causes of society breakdown. Diamond explained this model clearly with examples from Greenland Norse in the past and Montana environment in the time when the book was made. The first factor is environmental damage that caused by people, such as deforestation and mining that usually connected to the second factor which is climate change. In fact, climate change is natural forces without any relation with humans. The next factor is hostile neighbors that illustrate the bad relationship with the neighbor which affect the existence of society. Conversely, support…

Upon approaching the home where the family resides, there have been a multitude of hazards when approaching the home. When viewing the outside of the home there were the following hazards: lopsided porch, rusted gutters, sagging roof, balding tar paper/asphalt shingles parting from the underwall, wooden stairs rotting, and with the house only being supported by two pillars and one already beginning to buckle, this house had already proved itself to be a dangerous environment for the children residing in it. Entering the household there had also been some issues that could prove to be an endangerment to the children. It appeared that there was no sort of sewer or septic system along which leads to the conclusion that there is no running water…
In this article by Binoy Stanley, there are various accounts of ghosts, registered through photographs and videos. Along with the evidence of these supposed ghosts, Stanley provides background information that gives context to when the photo or video was taken. Through the excerpts, the reader realizes that many of the photos were taken in the late 1800s or early 1900s, making it difficult to make out the said “ghosts”, considering the technology of the time. The ghosts could be a product of issues that occurred while the photos were being developed from film, causing the evidence to be invalid and illegitimate. However, there are some photos that include an identifiable figure or person, which are established as ghosts because the photographer supposedly claimed that the figure was not present at the time it was taken. This cannot be considered as legitimate though since there is no official source that confirms these claims; without Stanley providing the excerpts, these would be viewed as normal photos of people or shadows.…
Collapse by Jared Diamond is a novel about the various ways societies have collapsed in the past and how we can look for the same patterns today, in our own societies. The fourth chapter of Collapse, the chapter that was focused on, is about how the Region of the Anasazi and Chacos collapsed from different issues their societies faced. These societies collapsed from problems they did not resolve. When faced with an issue, societies have either a social, political, economical, environmental, or cultural response; this response, if effective, can solve the issue or if ineffective, will not solve the issue. When unsolved these issues can pile up and lead to a societal…
The essay talks about the literary offenses in Cooper`s writing. It offers ways to rectify some of those offences make the writing more economical. The author (of the given text) also presents his own version of Cooper`s writing where the word count decreases by one-thirds without changing the content and the style. I feel, however, that the new text, which might seem better to the keen eyes of a possible editor, would become less interesting to the general readers.…

Prior to the industrial revolution families were drastically different to how they are today. Extended families and kinship economies played a large part in family life as all land was owned and farmed upon by relatives beyond that of the nuclear family and as such people were born into certain roles in family rather than this being based on achievements and qualifications as it is nowadays. These roles would be passed down through generations and few people would reject this as it was commonplace and based upon tradition. Because of this the extended family provided all the roles that functionalists believe the family provides ; economic, education, reproductive and sexual.…
