Chris Crutcher's Analysis
Every moment in life is counted as a memory of something special weather it is a humiliating event or a relationship that lasted for a month. People die every day unexpectedly without doing the thing they most desire. However, a boy named Ben Wolf proves that every second in life needs to be lived as if they were going to die the next day. He started his senior year with a terminal blood disease that is incurable and is required special treatments in order to prolong his life expectancy. Without a doubt, he refuses to get treatments because he thinks he was born to die at that time of what his doctor had told him, in his case a full year. He accomplishes three things that needed to be done before his death will come. Chris Crutcher argues

    In the article “High Tech Trash” by Chris Caroll, Caroll explains the effects of e-waste (electronic trash). The article mentioned how most electronics that are thrown out, donated to charity, or even recycled still end up in developing countries. “While some recyclers process the material with an eye toward minimizing pollution and health risk, many more sell it to brokers who ship it to the developing world, where environmental enforcement is weak” (Caroll 81). This causes our e-waste to affect other families around the world who worked who most likely worked in sweatshops to produce the products that are being sent back to them. When this should not be the case other countries should not have to pay with their wealth to take care of our…

    Jake Riley Analysis

    • 195 Words
    • 1 Page

    I believe that the theme of the novel Jake Riley; Irreparably damaged by Rebecca Fjelland Davis is not to judge a book by its cover. Usually, I find myself following this saying. The theme is shown in a smaller instance when Lainey's friends assume she was in love with Jake. She denies it after they whisper into her ear, “‘Why didn't you tell us’” (Davis 14). Another instance in the book somewhat shows the main theme when Lainey and the school counsellor are arguing about Jake. Lainey begins to lose all control of herself after the counsellor begins making assumptions about Jake doing something illegal, so she ends up yelling at Mrs. Prebyl, saying, “‘. . . Maybe what Jake needs is somebody who thinks he's not irreparably damaged’” (Davis 228).…

    The last example is concerning his incredible athletic ability. Finny and Gene are in the pool one day, and they read the plaque that holds the swimming record times. Finny looks at one and decides that he can beat that time record. He tries, and he beats the record. Gene wants him to do it on front of an official judge. Finny Refuses and says "No, I just wanted to see if I could do it. Now I know"(35). This tells you that he lives life to it's fullest, since he is just doing this to see if he can. Most people wouldn't even think about trying to see if they could break the record, they would be too lazy to go find a stop watch anyway.…

    In America, when any sort of tragedy strikes the nation, citizens consistently turn to media outlets and politicians in order to determine the facts of the tragedy and how they should feel about it.

Despite there being only one event, news outlets can cover the event by using different framing techniques so that their audiences develop the desired opinion.…

    Myles Munroe believes that, “The value of life is not in its duration, but in its donation. You are not important because of how long you live, you are important because of how effective you live.” People in the world have their own view on life, but as Munroe states, it’s not about how long a person lives but the effectiveness of what they have done with their life because it affects how the future generations will turn out. Throughout time and space, people have debated about what the purpose of life is and why do people have the opportunity to experience it. People like William Shakespeare, Robert Ebert, and Amanda Ripley all have their own appointing views on life but they all relate to each other in many different ways.…
