“A War For Us.”

31 10 2007

” In three years I learned more about standards, commitment, and, yes, life then I did in six years of university.”

“The men and women on active duty today and their compaions in the National Guard and the reserves- have seen the willingness, and that of their families, to make sacrifices for their country stretched thin and family abuse.

This quote supports this essay a lot. It tells that the soldiers were promised but eventually it came into a lie. So their were soldiers that got disappointed also families. The essay also tells that cause of the draft; result of young americans being sent to fight and die in a war that became a disaster. While the soldiers were in Irag thousands of soldiers died and thousands were lied to.



Logic-Using Induction

Evidence:

-Keys in her hand

-Not really smiling

-Car almost in the water, but was saved by the boat.

-The car is over the parking blocks.

Conclusion, I think that might of happen is maybe she thought she was in reverse but instead she was in drive. I think this because she is over the stones, and I can’t see what else it could be.



Just Walk On By

23 10 2007

“After dark, on the warrenlike streets of Brooklyn where I live, I often see women who fear the worst from me.”

I chose this quote because sometimes when you walk by someone in the dark, you get a nervous feeling from passing them in the dark. Its more scary to walk in the dark then the daylight. It all depends on the first impressions, without getting to know the person. When I pass someone I just smile and say Hi. Some people just ignore looking at the person that they passed, and just look at their feet. I think this quote is improtant I think its best to describe the essay and don’t think about first impressions, stay positive, and don’t be scared.

” As I swung onto the avenue behind her, there seemed to be a discreet, uninflammatory distance between us.” This quote is telling basically what the big event of this essay is about. This thesis is telling the readers that there was a victim in this incident and the two people in the story felt uncomfortable with each other. They didn’t feel comfortable at all.

Grandparent

4 10 2007

My grandparents were around when the holocaust was going on. But at the starting point of the holocaust they weren’t living in america yet. In 1939, my grandparents moved from Norway to america. Before they moved my grandpa lived in Swedan, and my grandma lived in Norway. When they arrived in america they weren’t americans yet. But they didn’t really know about the holocaust when they lived in america, only the starting point. But they were around during the holocaust period. I think one thing that our century won’t have to deal again with is the holocaust. I say this because the people that survived the holocaust tells their story, and always say, “lets try not to have this happen to us again.” Our new century is more open up to say what we believe in. Definitley the United States. United States have rights to speak our minds, and try to keep our country free. Everyone in the world knows what happen during the holocaust period. To me that was a terrible event at that time in the world. I might not never really known who my grandparents were; but stories I heard from family in duluth and overseas they seemed like great people.



Societal Suicide

1 10 2007

” It follows that once marriage is redefined to accomodate same-sex couples, that change cannot help but lock in and reinforce the very cultural separation between marriage and parenthood that makes gay marriage conceivable to begin with.”

I think this quote is trying to tell his readers that once the amendment of marriage change, that all families are going to change. To me change is a great thing. Not everyone has to be the same, if your different go ahead and be unique.

I think this essay is trying to tell his readers that the public considering gay marriage to the amendment that families, and the world will change.

The writer’s point of this essay is that all families have some emotion moments. just because you have no father in the picture or from a broken home. It dosen’t mean that they will more likely become a gay couple. All those facts about no father in the picture, from a broken home, and so on dosen’t mean a thing. That’s all false information.
