A Lunge Toward Utopia In “A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur’s Court”, after being hit in the head, Hank Morgan, the main character, moves back through time twelve centuries. In the novel, Hank Morgan journeys to sixth-century England to enlighten Arthurian society with the advancements of his era. Hank’s conjuring of scientific advancements, although a major theme of the novel, becomes greatly mocked by twain.

Hank brings advancements and improvements such as soap, man-factories, and Guns with the intention of creating an ideal society that will benefit all peoples of the kingdom. In “A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur’s Court”, Twain pokes fun at Hank’s attempt to use technological advancements, improvements, and political ideas in the sixth-- in order to produce a utopia.…
R Issue = There are several relational issues in this scenario. First Celeste and Laura really seem to think Jim the director has already made up his mind about hiring for the new position, and resent that he is asking them because they feel he’s already made up his mind. Second there is a difference of opinions between John, Keith, and Jim, and that of Celeste, Laura, and Karl. The difference of opinions has resulted in relational issues of taking sides within the team. “Relationship goals define how each party wants to be treated by the other and the amount of interdependence they desire (how they define themselves as a unit)” (Hocker, & Wilmot, 2014, p 77).…
I live in a country full of rich resources. Our weather is like a bittersweet lotion that replenishes the skin. People from all over the world come to my land for these things called "vacations". Vacations bring in nothing but good memories, smiles, and family. A vacation is a fairytale here in Columbia. The beautiful landscapes are just a pinch of reality that are on the brochures, websites, and posters. Sometimes when I look at these Americanized pictures of Columbia I wish I was there. The true story of Columbia starts in the city of Bogata located in the mountains. I am a young girl. I will not disclose my name or age because what I'm about to tell you about my culture and land are hands on things my soul has been through; which may upset…
I came to North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in the fall. I suffered from depression my junior and senior year of high school. I was never officially diagnosed, because I lied to every therapist my mother sent me to. I could not be honest with anyone but myself at the time. However, I thought things would be different when I came to college. I thought I would be able to open up to people again, but I never anticipated that I would get worse. I thought college would cure me, for some reason. Ironically, I got even worse my first semester in college. My previous burdens added on to the pressure of getting good grades, being involved on campus, and trying to make friends. It was all too much for me. It also didn't help…
The first reason I want to participate in an Alternative Spring Break is to give back to communities and help them have a brighter future. I have a passion for service and giving back because without help from others I wouldn't be where I am at today. As a result, I want to help others feel cared for and that they have opportunity as well. The second reason I want to participate is in order to learn about different cultures and see in what ways we are the same and different then them. I love to travel and see different places so the Jamaica Alternative Spring Break plays into that. I have been to parts of Europe and to Mexico but never to Jamaica or the Caribbean. Each place I have been to has taught me lots about culture and has allowed me…

It was time to unload our beach supplies. Spending a day at Chesapeake Bay always included our large blue cooler packed with plain turkey sandwiches and ice cold water bottles. My siblings and I had the responsibility to carry our beach tools, such as our yellow sand sifter, sand castle molds, and other various beach toys, to the sandy destination. The walk to the beach from the parking lot was down a skinny dirt pathway through a forest of trees. As we neared the water, the packed down dirt gradually turned to soft white sand. The sound of small waves caressing the shore became audible. High pitched squeals of small children at play along the water’s edge sounded like the shrieks of seagulls flying above the water looking for their next meal.…
Being born in America is a privilege. This hit me when I took my first trip to Nigeria. As I exited the plane from a 16-hour flight, I could barely feel my legs because of how long the trip was. Everybody was so excited to leave the plane to see how Nigeria looked like. Don't get it twisted, I was excited too but I wasn't in any rush. As I finally ran out of the airport, I just remembered seeing people walking all around and looking at the new tourists that had just arrived. I was so excited to start this new adventure.…

The service I received at this store was terrible. The sales associates were very friendly. However, the Store Manager Matt provided “Poor” customer service. My husband and I traveled to Carolina Beach for a weekend fishing trip on the pier. However, the night before we accidentally left our fishing rods at the pier. So the next day we had to purchase all “New” equipment. My Husband prefers only “Sham no” products. I google and saw that “Tex Tackle” near Wrightsville had the fishing rod he was looking for. So we traveled there to purchase the rod. We initially wanted to get the power pro braided line and fishing reels all at the time same time however the store did not sell the specific reel my husband wanted So we just purchased the rods. Once we replaced…
Hawaii If I had to pick a place to go for a vacation, I would go to Hawaii, United States, a place that is made up of lots of lava and volcanos, is a place with a very unusual history and it is one of the most visited places in the world. Hawaii is one of the places in which I have not been to yet and I really want to go there. “It is the only state in which the majority of the population does not trace its heritage back to Europe” ( Foran 4).…
I have had many vacations in the past, however, I know for a fact that my favorite vacation of all time was my trip to Kauai, Hawaii. Kauai is the most beautiful, alluring, and attractive island that lies on the face of the earth. I went to Kauai during the winter break of 2012 to 2013. I was only a young eleven years old, however, I still did the activities that all of my family members did, including rock climbing, kayaking, boogie boarding, and jet skiing. The seven days that I spent in Kauai, Hawaii, were the best seven days of my life.…
