saddening. While comparing Mann, Ellis, Kirp, and Alvarez, a similar theme about the importance of getting a good education reoccurs, not necessarily that the inequality in education is due to race or gender, but more of a quality issue. Thus the audience should notice the effects of lack of money, lack of curriculum, and citizenship on the quality of education. How much do you think the average amount of college debt is for Americans? The answer, $27,000. Ellis discusses the effects money has on going
college students is self-induced pressure. I was so determined to write essays of excellence that I made mental errors that brought my grade down. As I have progressed through school writing has been my Achilles heel. I was never fond of writing and always dreaded the idea of writing essays. I was never a strong writer because I did not fully understand the process of writing well-rounded papers. I always considered myself a subpar writer. I believed that I was capable of meeting expectations rather

self-criticism. He comes to the conclusion to go to the war, being critical of himself. However, one can argue that he should not be harsh in his self criticism. Although Elroy Berdahl wants O'Brien to become a draft dodger, O’Brien ultimately goes to the war to please others and O'Brien has no freedom to make his own decision. Tim O’Brien is very critical of his decision and should not be so harsh on his self-criticism because he does go to Vietnam, but only for the sake of pleasing and being accepted
"I was not tired physically… No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in."

Women for the longest years have always been judged for certain things like and treated differently than in the eyes of men and even women.

To solve this situation, he proposes “a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragouts” (Swift). If the government continues to not do anything about this condition, then perhaps mothers would have no other option than eating their own babies in the future. This would
