...that these drones let alone can be worth so much money of the tax payers that we don’t see the results that they are really made for.The drone was made and it was made for just that purpose in that world to help aid in the fight in counter-terrorism let alone not let any more of our military pilots put their lives at risk in dangerous zones. But due to recent events that lead to a sort of downfall in using these pilot less drones, is it actually worth the billions we spend on it to be used in the military or is it even worth having though due to some malfunctions of the drone killed innocent civilians not only from other lands, but our own American civilians as well. Does America really needs these drones that can help with the war on terror and costing us so much money let alone deaths, or do we need something different or not even the drones at all. Back in 2008 while I was serving in Afghanistan and right now I am gearing up for another tour right after the final week of school has ended, I remember hearing about the drones and what the purpose was for. At the time I could never really see one up close and let alone be in the same room as the person controlling it due to many security reasons. But I remember they were in training for the next big thing that was going to change the way that we see everything in the war, to me that sounded like a great idea and a great plan that we could use such technology that not even the enemy was able to catch or let alone see or even...

...Nicole Myhre Callenbach.2 Question #2 A Reader Response I think Callenbach’s ideas of integrating sex and aggression is interesting. The whole idea of the war games is kind of interesting I think. It makes sense and it doesn’t. The Ecotopians hold these games to so that men can get rid of their aggressions. The Ecotopians believe that men are having these biological desires to be aggressive. The war games are so that men can let these aggressions out. Some men die in the War Games. It kind of reminds me of the Hunger Games except it is just men. The Ecotopians also believe that if these aggressions that men have deep down aren’t able to be let out they will result in things such as war. For that reason, the Ecotopians believe they should take the risk of the War Games, so that they won’t have to deal with an outbreak of war. What doesn’t make sense is that some men die in the War Games, so isn’t that kind of the same idea as war anyways? The book basically portrays women as sluts and political and they portray men as fighting murderers. The idea is supposed to be equality and at the same time this book portrays it as inequality in so many ways. I don’t really think that the War Games make Ecotopia more civilized. I don’t really think war and killing people really has anything to do with being civilized. I think it relates to how the real world is, but I don’t think that in a so-called “perfect world” people would be killing each other. If you were to look...

...in his poem Let America Be America Again. Walt Whitman and Langston Hughes have similar writing techniques. Whitman wrote the poem Let America Be America Again while Hughes wrote Let America Be America again. These poems are about 100 years apart and have many similarities and differences. The poems are similar in many ways, but one similarity is that they are both poems about America, the title gives that away though. Also both poems name a list of individuals that are left out of the American dream. "Those of mechanics, the carpenter, the mason, the boatman." (Let America Be America Again) In I Hear America Singing it states "I am the farmer, I am the worker, I am the negro." This American dream that so many people are left out of involves having opportunities...

She took them into her hands. With the me in her possession, she prepared herself: She placed the sugurra, the crown of the steppe, on her head. She arranged the dark locks of hair across her forehead. She tied the small lapis beads around her neck, Let the double strand of beads fall to her breast, And wrapped the royal robe around her body. She daubed her eyes with the ointment called "let him come, let him come" Bound the breastplate called "come, man, come" around her chest, Slipped the gold ring over her wrist, And took the lapis measuring rod and line in her hand. Inanna set out for the underworld. Ninshubur, her faithful servant, went with her. Inanna spoke to her, saying: Ninshubur, my constant support, My sukkal who gives me wise advice, My warrior who fights by my side, I am descending to the kur, to the underworld, If I do not...

...I do not wish to elaborate the title and deepen the scars. We all have been through this situation at least once in life and are familiar with the pain. Be it a goal, an aim, a relation or a dream, the most difficult situation is to let it go! It’s not a shame to let go! Well, the most passionate and the most dedicated individuals have to let go at some point in life. If you possess a passionate heart, be assured that the universe still hosts a million passions to follow. If a truly dedicated spirit is present, attention diversion becomes easier and discerning worth living for is not far away. Even if void of all these attributes, just focus on the fact that living in the past is the choice of the week. When Life closes A Door, Open Several...

...to the mother of God which conveys that this poem will reach out to mothers in a serious way. The first time I read this poem through I began to relate. I could relate to almost every part of the poem. Ave Maria can either be a good way of giving advice to a mother or it can be bad. Most will take the literal meaning but from my personal experience the literal meaning may not be the best way to go. O’Hara uses his thoughts, opinion and sarcasm to reach out to the mothers of America. speaks on parenting as a mother and their relationship with their child. Frank O’ Hara speaks on parenting as a mother and their relationship with their child. He began telling mothers to let their children out of the house. He quotes, “Mothers of America/ let your kids go to the movies (lines1&2)!” It’s good to let them get away from you so they won’t have to know what you, as a parent, are always doing. O’ Hara uses the movies as a way to get his point across because that is a common place where kids like to go alone. “When you grow old as grow old you must/ they won’t hate you (lines7&8).” That’s only because they won’t know how it is to be held in. As they’re out the child will feel to be in the best moments of their life. “They will know where candy bars came from/ and gratuitous bags of popcorn (lines16&17).” He uses bags of popcorn and candy because he knows a kid will know what that is but being out they can at least find out about the simplest things. Continuing on from telling how “gratuitous”...

...a family. But when one of them didn't seem to be, it threw Kathryn for a loop. "This one friend liked going out and having fun when we were both single, but as soon as I got married and had a child, she seemed to lose interest," says Kathryn, who has a 2-year-old and is currently expecting twins. During the course of their 13-year friendship, the woman always steered conversations to her own problems, never taking much interest in Kathryn's, especially after she became a mom. "She never wanted to meet my son and she even told me that I wasn't the maternal type," says Kathryn, who lives in New York City. That was the turning point. Kathryn had put up with her friend's self-absorbed behavior for years, but the comment made her wonder why. By the time the friend called to apologize for the offensive remark, Kathryn had already begun to reassess their relationship. "She just didn't seem able to be happy for me, and that's not a real friend," says Kathryn. "I couldn't put any more time or effort in after that." The two are no longer friends. Kathryn made a quick, clean cut, but there are several ways to let go of a friendship, whether you just want to put some distance between you or sever the ties completely. If you're not sure what you want to do, put pen to paper. "Draw a line down the middle of a page," suggests Isaacs. "On one side, list the good things that you get out of the friendship; on the...

...August 5, 2012 Mom and I My life as a teenager hasn’t been easy, just like any other teenager, I had my rebellious days. I was all about going out with friends and not focus in school. My parents, especially my mom, would always tell me to focus in school and not worry about fitting in with my friends. My mom is the type of moms who is always behind your back until you listen and straighten up. Like every other teenager, I would talk back to her and not listen. When you see her, you automatically assume she is the type of mom who believes everything you tell her like for example, “ Mom I am going to the movies” when you are really going to a party. She is thick, burgundy hair, brown eyes, and has the loudest laugh. You will never think she is one of those strict moms. All my friends would tell me “Oh my God, your mom looks so nice” when in reality to me she was the meanest mom in the world because she wouldn’t let me do anything. At age sixteen, I met this pretty skinny girl with curly brown hair whose name is Lupe. She was fourteen, two years younger than I am. We were always together and went to the movies almost every weekend and sneak in McDonalds. Then about three years later, she started hanging out with new friends who would drink almost every day, smoke, and party. When my mom noticed her change, she didn’t want me hanging out with her because of her bad reputation. She wouldn’t let me go out with her anymore or talk in the phone with her. Of course I would disobey her...

...just pause and listen. I have a place where I can let every mask I’ve built up in life just slip away. A place that speaks out and lets me be real, unafraid to shine. Beyond my panting, the sounds of the night were muffled, barely noticeable. I caught up with my thoughts and troubles while I pushed on scarcely taking note of anything that slipped past. I sprinted to the top of the waterfall then stopped to catch my breath. I became aware of everything as if a light had been turned on. Everything illuminated and the quiet sounds of night sang out. The full moon bounced off the chiseled crimson cliffs creating shadows and revealing hidden beauty. The sentinel loomed over me as if protecting this sanctum his solemn face lit by the silvery light that had brought the dead night to life. I had stopped in the middle of one of the greatest moments that nature’s children could reveal. The cricket, his lady friend, and the innocent little june bug were singing, harmonizing and blending to create the most soothing piece of music I had ever heard. Each thing added to this masterpiece unblemished by trouble. The trickling of the small stream covered in watercress and the deep croak of the bullfrog calling...
