A moose hunter in Alaska spotted two hikers, worryingly trying to grab his attention. They pointed him out to a bus in the woods. Stumbling closer revealed the body of a young man. That body was Chris McCandless, who set out into the wilderness a few months before. He was originally thought to have just been an idiot, somebody who went out into the wild unprepared, and payed the price.
Timothy Keller begins his book Every Good Endeavor with an explanation about God 's design for work. The Creation narrative describes God actions of creating as being work. The best way to look at God 's intention for work is to see how He worked. In Genesis, we are shown that God 's design demonstrated a repetitive cycle of work and rest.
Mid-summer of 1996 in Kennewick, Washington, two men stumbled upon an ancient human skeleton in the Columbian River. What seemed to be a miraculous discovery soon turned into an incessant and relentless battle over the ownership of the remains. “Multiple claimants asset[ed] ownership” of this skeleton, named the “Kennewick Man”: the Native Americans of Washington, Pacific Islanders, and even people of Norse descent of Ireland and Scotland. The debacle of whether the thousand-year-old skeleton should remain under scientific custody or return to its “native homeland” to be buried was debated in federal court for several years. The whole process of the Kennewick Man’s discovery opened important questions: Who is the Kennewick Man and why is he so important?

“I know that I am a destroyer of the most precious thing, which is life”. This quote was from Patricia Krenwinkel. Patricia Krenwinkel had an important role in the Manson trials because she stabbed Abigail Folger countless of times and then later on she stabbed Rosemary LaBianca with a carving fork to death. She was found guilty of murder and they gave her the death sentenced, but the judge overruled it so she got life in prison. It has been 46 years since the murder of the Manson family.
The Civil War was America’s bloodiest war. Soldiers were not only dying from battle itself, but from the daily practices the military had in place. Medical care and response was lacking organization resulting in many preventable deaths. In 1862 this all changed with the appointment of Medical Director Jonathan Letterman, who focused on how soldiers were being treated both on and off the battlefield. Jonathan Letterman was crucial to the Union’s victory because he advanced civil war medicine and made it more accessible hence why his gravestone describes a man “who brought order and efficiency into the Medical Service and who was the originator of modern methods of medical organization in armies" (Arlington National Cemetery).
In reviewing Chapter 11 by Keller, I was drawn to the statement, “If you want intimacy with God, if you want to get over this sense that something is missing, it will have to become God that you love with all of your heart and strength.” (pg. 144-145) Jesus made it clear to the rich man that he did not have his focus right, even if his heart was in the right place. Christ was willing to leave glory to serve man, was he (the rich man) willing to serve God and leave the identity he had built in his wealth behind?
When someone people see blind people, they think that they can't do anything, but working together with those that can see, blind people can achieve amazing things. Helen Keller fights for the right of the blind and persuade the reader to help them. Through the use of persuasive language and grammar, she creates a persuasive essay to help the blind. Through the use of pathos, ethos and logos, Helen Keller makes her argument stronger and more believable. In the fourth paragraph she uses pathos “ blind men will not be content to be numbered amoung those who will not, or cannot, carry burden on sholder or tool in hand.
An accomplishment can have many meanings to different people. Helen Keller’s quoted, “No pessimist ever discovered the secret of stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.” Erik Weihenmayer, has changed the definition of accomplishment to a higher degree. Weihenmayer has been the first blind person to climb to the top of Mount Everest. Erik is able to achieve anything he dreams.
In this weeks reading in Keller, I learned that integrity is of the utmost importance in the work place. In chapter eleven there is a example of a man sacrificing integrity for more wages at a new company he is interviewing at. In the example, Howard (the man who received the interview) lies about his yearly amount he makes at his current job so that the new company he is interviewing for will offer more money than he makes right now. His justification for the lie was that at his current job he has two more weeks vacation. He added the pay he would get from those two weeks into the salary and he told the new company that amount instead of the real one.
Hellen Keller once said that, “Although the worlds is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.” In Hellen Keller’s autobiography, The Story of My Life, she wrote about her experiences with learning as a person who was both blind and deaf. In this passage taken from her book, she described her transformation from a child who fought fervently against learning, to an individual who yearned to understand and describe the world around her. Keller presented her shift in the passaged as one that altered her perspective of every aspect of her life, and awakened a sense of happiness and fulfillment within her. She portrayed this change through devices that allowed the reader to closely follow her experiences and understand the emotions that she carried with her

This is the comparison of the benefits offered by a company's product to its customers relative to the price it asks customers to pay. To do this, companies can influence the value proposition in one of two ways mainly. This can be done through long term brand building. They can also offer a relatively low cost to enhance value.
