The author Tom Philpot starts the article off with a funny title but non-the less negative analogy of factory farms and anti-biotics. Although a negative title it does catch your attention because the term playing chicken means someone must die. So the title make you wonder what does farm factories have to do with antibiotics one of our most important miracle drugs used to combat infections.

The article written by Bruce Jenkins starts off by saying that the regular season of the Warriors was a “bumbling mess”. This article was written to be read generally by the people of San Francisco and Warriors fans. The Warriors went from a historic 73-9 record in the 2016 season, to a 67-15 record in the 2017 season, and a recent 58-24 record in the 2018 season. At the beginning of the article, Bruce talks about factors that have led to the teams bumpy season like not having a reliable center. He says that the team has reached a point to where the team’s centers are not feared by any postseason opponent. Towards the end of the article, Bruce talks about the future of the team and things to consider. He talks about possible matchups and how the team isn’t ready defensively to play, even if Stephen Curry is on the court. With the article discussing the Warriors’ downward spiral, the article uses the devices of ethos, logos, and pathos.

Tim Shaw is a sculptor who created a sculpture of a man in fire. This sculpture is called Erebus; it took him 7 years to finish this piece. This sculpture especially caught my attention as it is seen as a very strong and powerful sculpture. I have decided to draw this this sculpture because it could relate to my theme Decay. In my perspective by looking at this sculpture of a burning man could show that this man is at his last stage of life where he is about to die. This sculpture has a lot of meaning behind it…

I base this scene off of the lengthy description of corpse disposal on pages 175-177. I would not include a read narration, I will also remove the descriptions of the mourners getting to come to the cemetery and the streetcar corpse wagon will lead to the mass graves rather than the crematorium.

Because each vignette explains a physical, mental, and emotional thing that each character carries the title is appropriate. The title simply is an opener to what Tim O’Brien explains throughout the novel--- the things each character carried and the items(whether literal or mental/emotional) effect.

Space has been considered to be the common heritage of all humanity, from the time of the first launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957. This common heritage This is reflected in the landmark the 1967 Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies (‘Outer Space Treaty’ or ‘OST’), which affirms that all have a right to access space for peaceful and scientific purposes, and prohibits the sovereign appropriation of outer space. In 2015 the US Congress passed the Space Resource Exploration and Utilization Act (‘US Space Act’) , which provides for the ‘commercial exploration for and commercial recovery of space resources by United States citizens’. Some commentators

In conclusion, the government needs to remain the use of its space program.There are many jobs in the space program. Eventually the basic necessities like food, water, and a place to live will be hard to come by. For the amount of pollution that is on the planet, the population does not have many options when thinking about how will future generations survive. As well as

This shows the real problems that we face and not enough money is being funded into these problems. In conclusion, it's clear to see that money used for space exploration is something that should be something that would benefit our entire society. You might not think it but space exploration can be very dangerous. First, "Source 3: The Dangers of Space Travel" states that "It has been revealed that the level of radiation that astronauts will be exposed to could raise their chances of cancer" (17). This demonstrates how dangerous space can be already on earth you have chances of cancer, but increasing that chance by a landslide just for the exploration of space.

The ending of the story “Stockings” matches with my expectations for the conclusion. In the first portion of the story, the author Tim O’Brien wrote, “Dobbins was invulnerable. Never wounded, never a scratch”. Therefore, Henry Dobbins’ invincible leads me to think about that whatever happens to Dobbins, he will not give up the stockings, and he will tie them in his neck as a lucky charm. In the ending, as what I thought, Dobbins put the stockings in the back of his neck even though his girlfriend broke up with him. I believe that his real love is not his girlfriend, instead, it is the stockings. My initial response towards the ending is nothing unexpected has been happening. I thought narrator will describe about how the stockings lose their

Due to the large number of space exploration projects, a large belt of debris has formed that can be hazardous to other operational spacecraft. As engineers, we have an ethical responsibility to prevent pollution of Earth’s atmosphere. We have learned a hard lesson on the value of environment from right here on Earth. Trends show that the debris belt circling the Earth will only get bigger, and become more hazardous to spacecraft.

Carl Sagan once said “every planetary civilization will be endangered by impacts from space, every surviving civilization is obliged to become spacefaring--not because of exploratory or romantic zeal, but for the most practical reason imaginable: staying alive... If our long-term survival is at stake, we have a basic responsibility to our species to venture to other worlds.” The National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA, is executing Sagan’s words every day. President Dwight D. Eisenhower created NASA in 1958 with the purpose of peaceful rather than military space exploration and research to contribute to society. Just 11 years after the creation, NASA put Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon, the first humans to

Space can be unsafe. In profound space we would kick the bucket immediately unless ensured. Our
