Sidney Crosby
Sidney Patrick Crosby was born August 7th 1987 in Coal Harbor Nova Scotia. Sidney plays for the Pittsburgh Penguins In the National Hockey league. He currently is the captain for the pens. Also he was the captain for the men’s Canadian national Olympic hockey team. Ever since Sid was born he exceled in hockey. He could skate before he could walk. Sidney’s parent’s names are Trina Crosby and Troy Crosby. The Montreal Canadians drafted Troy Crosby but he never really played.

By the age of ten Sidney was already being compared to Wayne Gretzky who is the greatest hockey player to ever play the sport. Sidney had his share of off ice attention. For example after putting up 275 points in one season parents made a petition to make kick Sidney out of the league. To solve this problem Sidney got put into a league where the guys were 2-3 years older than him. That season Sid put up 200 points. It was clear that Sidney would be a first round pick in the NHL. Later on Sidney joined the QJHL (Quebec Junior Hockey League) with the Rimouski Océanic. With his two seasons with them he put up over 150 points. It was clear that Sidney was ready for the NHL so he declared for the NHL draft. Everyone knew that Sid was going to be first overall pick but no one knew what team that would be lucky to have him. Then the day came the Pittsburg Penguins won the lottery draft and were granted the first overall pick. Sidney was drafted to the pens on July 30th 2005. The second Crosby was drafted he was an instant star. Everyone knew who Crosby was. Before he even made his debut he was already being compared to Gretzky for his outstanding skill.

    Why Did Andrew Carnegie Earn His Way From Rags To Riches

    Andrew Carnegie was born on November 25th, 1835, in Dunfermline, Scotland. He was born into an average class family of four. His father worked in the weaving industry, and was also part of a labor union called the Charist Group. His father was later fired for this, so the Carnegie family immigrated to the Allegheny City, PA in 1848. While living in the U.S., Carnegie got his first job as a bobbin boy at the age of twelve. He later got a job tending to steam train boilers, and then worked his way up from there. The train boilers company then gave him a job as a telegraph messenger boy.…

    History has portrayed Patrick Henry as a radical man, a title that few men can wear with ease yet, Patrick Henry, was synonymous with the word in the minds of colonists and British Empire. Even though many of us know Henry for his immortal words, we know very little about the hero that contributed greatly to the revolutionary cause. As we glimpse into the past, I hope to give you a brief look into the life of Patrick Henry as well as pop culture 's take on the revolutionary icon.…

    My target audience would range from 16-25. Young people these days engage in politics in a variety of ways. They engage by debating and sharing insights and opinions on various issues whether it’s discussions with friends or postings on blogs; They engage by signing petitions; They attend rallies and protests on issues we regard as important; They volunteer there time and energy to organizations.They are media savvy, questioning what is often presented(I know I have grandchildren) and they stay pretty well informed! I suspect that although most youth enroll and vote in local, state and federal elections, They find there participation in the less formal settings more meaningful and effective. That’s probably because They are sceptical about the intentions of our leaders and the impact that our vote will make. Nevertheless, I think that for the most part, young people are very much engaged in different ways.Young people will be able to understand the core reading easier than people of older generations due to the fact that young people are more open to the idea of individualism.As older generations are use routine.I feel that I can understand my audience because I have always been a person that likes to stand up for myself and I am all about self expression and equality.…

    1. The simplicity of the world created by Vonnegut may appeal to some, but I could never live in such a society where ones thought process is limited to average and the government plays such an overbearing role in the community. People who are born with “above average” intelligence are immediately controlled by handicapper devices to limit their brilliance. Some are given a device that partially alter their sight of vision, or creates alarming sounds in ones brain. The government claims that this creates equality unachievable by any other method. I would consider living in such a society if the thought process were not as limited. One should be free to have uncontrolled thoughts and wishes as pleased without the government dismissing them.…

    After reading the title I wasn’t interested in reading the article whatsoever because it appeared to be just another one of those articles designed to bore me to death. After reading the first sentence the author slightly caught my attention. With the first few words in all caps the author said “THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal.” As I was reading it I had a puzzled look on my face. Not because I didn’t like it, but because I was curious to know what crazy idea was the author going to use to explain how everybody became equal in the future. As I read on the author explained that some amendments to the constitution was responsible for all of the equality. I kept reading and came across something that I was very unfamiliar with which was a “Handicapper General”. I said to myself what in the world is a Handicapper General, and because I was curious to find out I proceeded to read on. The author never really defined what one was but I could assume what one was from context clues like what the characters in the article said about the Handicapper General and her actions. I thought it was funny the way the government went about making everyone equal. They put masks on people’s faces and attached extra weight to them depending on how strong they were. As I approached the middle of the article it seemed like so much was going on I began to get a little frustrated. I couldn’t really make out what was going on as if I skipped over a part in the story but I’m very sure I didn’t. This is definitely an article I would have to read more than once to help me better understand it. I don’t know if the old man was hallucinating when his son all of a sudden appeared on the TV screen or what, but I feel like too much began to occur too fast and the way it’s written mostly in quotes and not much narration made it harder for me to understand. I think I would be…

    Is the conception of equality with gender, economic status, and talents truly achievable or simply a myth? The idea and possibility of equality appeals human’s emotional nature. It’s everyone ideal image and vision of how the world should be. However, can equality in every aspect potentially handicap one who’s potentially gifted? In the passage, “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut (1961), he creates a strictly equitable society. In this “utopian” society, each person is treated equally despite each person’s characteristics or talents. Those who could be considered gifted or highly intelligent receive handicaps. One cannot compete, and display the talents or beauty granted to them at birth. Every individual is normal and rendered below-average in intelligence, strength, and ability.…

    In the short story by “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut, the world is all equal. The government has tried to make everything including seasons equal. Some people of a higher intelligence have to wear handicaps, devices that make the people unable to process more complex thoughts, along with anyone above the average attractiveness. George has to wear handicaps because he is above the average intelligence while Hazel does not due to her only having average intelligence. Kurt Vonnegut kills Harrison Bergeron to show the hopelessness in a society that is completely controlled by the government.…

    In the short story, “Harrison Bergeron,” published in 1961, Kurt Vonnegut Jr. discusses equality in America in 2081. His story places you into a world where everyone is made equal in every way. Anyone with talents, like beauty, strength, and higher mental capacity are made handicapped by wearing massive weights, thought scattering headsets, and masks. These handicaps were set in place to create an equal world within the United States. While creating an equal society though, they are holding people back from their true potential. I believe Vonnegut is showing how if society were equal, like in his story, people would be held back from their natural gifts.…

    In a world with no individuality, is it possible for humanity to progress? In the short story, “Harrison Bergeron,” the author, Kurt Vonnegut, presents the idea of a conformed society in which everyone is totally equal; if one is superior to another, then they must wear a certain handicap to supress their talent. However, the flaw in this type of society is the loss of one’s identity and freedom. A conformed society technically wouldn’t be very equal because the government would still have power over the citizens and this could lead to a possibility of a dictatorship. Also, there wouldn’t be any innovation within a conformed society because everyone would be equal and competition wouldn’t exist therefore society wouldn’t be able to progress. The author conveys that a system such as this can’t be totally equal and it would also consist of a loss of freedom and identity which would lead to a society that wouldn’t be able to progress due to a lack of innovation.…
