...First & Last Name First & Last Name English 101/Section # Date Essay #2 The Committer vs. the Non-Committer There are many types of men in the world, and each type displays a variety of distinguishable characteristics. Women should become aware of these characteristics before considering a prospective mate. The smallest of personal details, from where and how they met (including the first date), the way he walks and talks, the clothes he wears, the career choice he's made, the vacation spots he frequents, or the automobile he drives can offer valuable, meaningful, insightful clues to whether or not a man will ever settle down with anyone. There are two main types of men in the world: the committer and the non-committer. The committer is serious about finding the right woman. He asks friends and relatives for introductions. He is usually open to blind dates and avoids the bar scene when looking for a quality woman. On the first date, he is polite and will not bring up the subject of money at the restaurant. He takes her to places where they can talk one-on-one. The non-committer is just looking for a woman. There is no room in his life for the woman. He, on the other hand, loves the bar scene. He usually finds a million excuses why he can't find the right woman and uses such excuses to explain why he is still unattached. On a date, he orders trendy food such as sushi to impress his date, and he monopolizes the conversation. He may even take her to places where...

...company name] | Concealed Carry Controversy | [Type the document subtitle] | | Steven Kilburg | EN 104-8F | rough draft | As of November 1, 2011 a new law went into effect in the State of Wisconsin. It is the concealed carry law. There are people on both sides for or against this new law. The few things about this law that bothers this writer is the absence of proper training prior to obtaining a permit; the difference in the new law compared to hunter safety education that is required for all hunters born after January 1, 1973, and certain loopholes in the law that make it harder to be considered a real conceal carry law. According to the law, a person is to complete a firearms safety course conducted by a certified firearms instructor. However, the law does not specify what constitutes a safety course; someone could sit through an online training course, including courses not designed for concealed carry purposes. (Wisconsin's New Carrying Concealed Weapon Law Wuestions and Answers, 2011) These permitted people don’t even have to fire their weapon as a part of their training. This is unsatisfactory to many people; just the thought alone that people can get a permit to carry a firearm without even knowing how to use the weapon is mind-blowing. I would feel safer with my son, who is ten, but has fired and understands gun safety than I would with an adult who has never fired or received my belief in proper training. This law needs to be looked at more...

...Parental Involvement CM220-07 College Composition Unit 6: Rough Draft Professor Judith McNeely We need to establish nationwide programs like parent volunteer day so parents can understand the importance of attending school functions because “without parental involvement children will feel inadequate and under appreciated”. If Parents know their involvement is important, why aren't they more involved? Not surprisingly, for 2/3s of parents who believe they should be more involved it's lack of time: 38% identified work or a full-time job as a major obstacle and 26% said other demands on their time and scheduling conflicts interfered with their involvement. Parental involvement creates an environment of safety and confidence in a child, which allows them to imagine and maximize their potential. Rather than criticizing parents as unconcerned “slackers” perhaps we could all benefit from a thorough understanding of how we can find potential solutions to fix this problem. No school or teacher can ever substitute an engaged parent but we definitely need parents and teachers to work together so we can have a child succeed both academically and socially. “Statistics show that students whose parents are actively involved in their education do better at school, regardless of their family income and background. Specifically, students with involved parents have greater academic success, better attitudes about school, and fewer behavioral problems. This makes sense, since parents are...

...Cedric Fierce 4/22/16 9th Final Paper Mild TBI / Concussion Report Rough Draft On average, 43,267,200 concussions occur at the high school level every year. That’s over 43 million 14-18 year olds, suffering from traumatic post-concussion symptoms and the slippery slope of brain damage caused by concussions. The increase of concussions in sports has had a major effect on athletes and should be re evaluated for safety precautions. Brain damage is caused by a concussion: "Defined as a complex pathophysiological process affecting the brain, induced by biomechanical forces” (Halstead 1). In English, it can be described as "A mild brain injury usually caused by a bump or blow to the head” (Tasian 1). “Mild: used to describe the trauma of the physical...

...Research Paper Rough Draft: How to become a Neat Nail Technician Looking around the room, I see an array of beautiful shades to choose from. Pastels with deep dark colors of nail polishes are sitting on organized shelves to be chosen. Sometimes a salon will have a strong stench of chemicals, mixed with the sound of nail buffing drills, and chatter too. However, getting a manicure and pedicure is still a relaxing retreat that many women, even men, look forward to. When I was a just a little girl, I became exposed to the art of nail design and a vast selection of polishes throughout the years of my mother’s influence. Painting nails, playing with false nails, and the experience in taking trips to the nail salon with my mother have become hobbies of mine ever since then. Thereafter, I realize that in order to become a professional nail technician, it will take hours of practice and training to obtain your license, and testing your skills in your new workplace. This topic is something interesting that I liked learning about, and I thought it would be great to be able to save money by doing own nails. “As a nail technician or manicurist, you will trim and polish clients' nails, repair broken nails, and apply nail extensions. Additionally, you will assess the...

...weakened the federal government’s ability to protect black Southern’s. The “Slaughterhouse case” distinguished state and National citizenship. The “U.S vs. Cruikshank” ruling gave states more power to impose discrimination in the state and legislate Discriminatory Laws within the states. 2.) African Americans demonstrated their citizenships by participating in elections, educate themselves and become a teacher or open a school like disabled ex slave Elias did and own lands and work independently on their own, worship in their own churches, 3) Since the beginning of colonization of the first colonies in North America, Native Americans have been subjected to colonial rule and forced from their lands. Towards the end of the nineteenth century Native American tribes began to resist such rule and push back. One example of this is in 1877 when the Nez Percé people fought back against the United States when the government dictated a treaty severely reducing the Nez Percé people forcing them to move onto reservations. These people fled to Canada for safety, and around 800 of the Nez Percé people were slaughtered, leaving than 300...

...outcomes through the different pieces I was required to write for this class. The area that I have had the most growth in is definitely the writing. Writing Outcome The first learning outcome was writing. Identifying prompts, understanding the grading scale, and creating a writing piece that follows the template structure was never a problem. The main problem I encountered and continued to struggle with was the ability to properly follow the writing process. It was difficult for me to embrace the fact that this class would require me to create multiple drafts, edit after peer reviews, and worst of all, share my writing. Turning in an essay for the professor to read was never an issue of concern. But when I realized I would be sharing my work with my peers, that was a serious adjustment issue. From my first piece to the last piece, it is evident that once I embraced the writing process from the brainstorming to the multiple drafts to discussions among peers to the final copy, I was able to create a focus and stick to that focus without going off on a tangent. For Project One, I was asked to choose a video series which speaks about a certain topic, then identify three episodes that I would analyze. In this analysis, I would need to identify how a channel’s episodes persuades viewers to subscribe and also encourage other members to do the same. In addition, I needed to identify how the episodes within the series appeal to the viewer’s pathos, logos, and ethos. In other words, I...

Armed with her cell phone and the .38 caliber revolver Donnie had recently taught her how to use. Melinda hears the man break through the front door and rummage downstairs.

...Essay 2 Rough Draft Writing 123 Enthymeme: The minimum legal drinking age in the United States should not be lowered from 21 to 18 because the legal drinking age is in place to protect young people at a time when irresponsible behavior is prevalent. The Minimum Legal Drinking Age Debate Since 2008, 136 college chancellors and presidents have signed the Amethyst Initiative, asking that the United States reconsider the minimum legal drinking age-21 (MLDA-21) laws that have been in place in all 50 states since 1984. The Amethyst Initiative argues that the MLDA-21 laws simply do not work, create a culture of binge-drinking, and that a policy of legalization and education would be more effective in protecting the safety of American adolescents. Elisabeth Muhlenfeld, the president of Sweet Briar College in Virginia and Amethyst Initiative signatory writes that 70 percent of the student population is underage. Teaching abstinence to students that blatantly ignore the MLDA-21 laws, or urging responsible behavior while drinking underage and breaking the law, are both hypocritical positions for the college administration to be in (Muhlenfeld 2). The Amethyst Initiative position is that current MLDA-21 laws have created a culture of heavy alcohol use by making drinking clandestine and extreme (Saylor 1). The statistics seem to back up this claim. Recent survey's of the 18-20 year old population by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services show that a full 72 percent report...

...World Religions Report Rough Draft The religion that was selected by the author of this paper is Hinduism. This is due to his lack of working knowledge on the subject of this religion. There have been a few hurdles in the writing of this paper such as a severe lack of religious diversity in the area of the writer’s home town. This has lead the author to find alternative methods of gaining insight into these religious practices. Hopefully the outcome will be acceptable. As there have been no religious sites near the authors home and the person with which he intended to interview turned out to be Christian most of the information will be garnered from websites dedicated to the education of those who seek knowledge on the subject of Hinduism. There will be full citation for each source as they pertain to the information to follow. Hinduism is a religion that has many gods that encompass all aspects of daily life. Strength and wisdom are essential properties of this religion. By refraining from selfish acts and treating others with respect there can be release from the wheel of life and reincarnation in order to be one with the “One True Self”. This is very dependent upon the caste with which an individual is born to. The first question I ask is “What does it mean to be Hindu?” The answer to which was given by Dr Zakir Naik (What does it mean to be Hindu, 2013). In his answering of a question by a young Hindu man Dr Zakir Naik says,” Hindu is never actually mentioned...
