Jeff Bidelman Argumentative Essay

182 Words1 Page

"Jeff Bidelman was asked to help look for items of value in a Windber, Pennsylvania home that had been left unoccupied for twenty years. The children of the couple that lived there had heard rumors that a hole in one of the home’s walls was filled with money resulting from their parents occasionally throwing money into it, but they thought the rumor was nothing more than an urban legend. However, within minutes of looking around the premises, Bidelman and one of the couple’s daughters found a whole pile of coins, which they put into a plastic bag. Extremely happy with what they found, they thought, "Could the legend be true. Are we really lucky to have such intelligent parents." Then, they saw a tiny hole alongside another wall and wondered

  • Coach Mcelwain's Argumentative Essay

    100 Words  | 1 Pages

    Matthew, I agree with you that Coach McElwain’s press conference was effective because he was upfront about Will’s making a mistake, but most importantly in the press conference, Coach McElwain made it known that he along with the team would continue to support Will. In addition, I also agree with you about the Penn State crisis. Consequently, a crisis of that magnitude is unlikely to recover from. I believe that no matter how much the school and the Athletic department do to try to distance itself from the crisis that it will always be connected to the school. Great Post!

  • Von Miller's Argumentative Essay

    724 Words  | 3 Pages

    There are no two words in the sports dictionary that make me cringe more than “franchise tag”. So, when Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller posted on his Instagram Thursday that there is “No Chance” he’d play under the franchise tag next season, I was filled with smug satisfaction — and reminded how ridiculous the concept of the franchise tag really is. To an outsider, myself included, Miller’s rejection of the Broncos’ offer was baffling, at first. A six-year, $114.5 million contract (reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter) would have me whipping out my pen and asking where to sign.

    In today’s society, we have former National Football League(NFL) quarterback Collin Kapernick who’s no longer in the NFL because of his protest against racial inequality.

Although they didn’t win, he threw for 302 yards with a touchdown and rushed for 62 yards. Therefore, he didn’t get kicked out of the league because he wasn’t good enough, but for sitting down during the national anthem.

    Chris McCandless was in his early 20’s, he was the kind of that guy that wanted to learn and experience life without all of the material things. He wanted to be independent from his parents and friends so Chris did something that would be insane for most of us humans but to him, it wasn’t. He went into the wild of Alaska for months, in fact, McCandless even thought he could make it out alive at the end of his journey. As a matter of fact, he was known as being a risk taker and enjoyed being out and about in the nature side of the world. Many would believe that Chris McCandless went into the wild to purposely kill himself; however, I myself believe that McCandless did not do it purposely.

After hearing this, Dillard continues to look for more old coins, hoping to accumulate wealth. Reflecting on her coin-finding journey, she writes, “Treasure was something you dug up out of the dirt in a chaotic, half forbidden, forsaken place far removed from the ordinary comings and goings of people… That I never found another coin in that particular alley didn’t matter at all” (Dillard 41).

    Kevin’s Sentence is a 25 minute audio clip that allows people to relive the experience of an 18 year old Canadian named Kevin Hollinsky and his drunk driving experience that happened on the 30th of July, 1994. Best friends of Kevin; Joey Camlis aged 18 and Andrew Thompson aged 19 were the unfortunate people whose lives were lost that night due to being under the influence. The short audio clip covers eveything from the tragic event to Kevin travelling around Windsor and it’s various highschool giving out presentations about drink driving and its consequences. Overall in the end I have many mixed feelings about the audiotape as I believe that is was both a good idea the court made, yet unnecessary in the long run. As despite the fact that Kevin

    It took just forty five days for United States citizens to acquiesce their rights to freedom and privacy for the sake of safety following the events of September 11, 2001. Forty five days is how long it took the United States Congress to pass a law that gave up the very concept of liberty upon which this country is founded. The morning sky was a brilliant shade of blue with not a cloud in sight in New York on that fateful day of September. That all changed at 8:45 AM when a Boeing 767 jet plane tore into the north tower of the World Trade Center. Eighteen minutes later, a second Boeing 767 bit into the sixtieth floor of the south tower.

  • Willie Bosket Argumentative Essay

    480 Words  | 2 Pages

    In general, I don’t believe that juveniles can be born evil or bad. Environmental factors carry a lot of weight when it comes to how children develop and grow into adults. However, in the uniquely gritty case of Willie Bosket, I believe it’s safe to say that if there were ever a case of a child being “born bad”, then Willie definitely meets the mark. When looking back at his lengthy family history filled with extreme deviance and outright violence, you can quite easily see that Willie fits right into the mold that was created long before he was even born. I think that a lot of Willie’s violent and criminal tendencies were learned from what he was exposed to while growing up.
