Everyone wants to believe they deserve an A in a course if they did all of the assigned work on time, but more goes into an A than just your school work passed in. An A student attends all classes they possibly can, with the exception of illness and other duties. They also have a positive attitude and never complain about an assignment or its due date. Lastly, an A student works hard to produce material at the best of their ability. I believe that I have done all of these things this year and deserve a final grade of an A in English 101. My attendance was not great but I think I did my best on coming to each class possible. It has been a little spotty at times this semester, I’ll admit. Due to the harsh winter and the high stress in my life I have been getting ill frequently. When possible, I got a doctors note to excuse those. All other absences were military related and unavoidable. Having provided all documentation to excuse a few absences, my attendance was not so bad. I am proud of myself for being able to wake up at the crack of dawn and go to school when I really, really wanted to sleep in after a long night at work. As for doing my assignments and turning them in on time I have never missed a beat. Since the very beginning I’ve read material assigned, turned in all required material and have done all classwork that was handed out. I think I may have been a day or two late on one paper because I was on military orders the Friday it was assigned, therefore I was not aware of it. Although I had slightly less time to work on it, I still got it done and did it well. I have never complained about the essays we had to write or claimed that “yeah I’ll get it done

Abruptly, I stopped. The hospital corridors had an extremely dreary and uncomfortable vibe. Walking down the long and winding hall, I noticed that there were a large number of rooms on the left and the right. Around me doctors and nurses bustled by in their starch white uniforms, stethoscopes draped around their necks…
A famous philosopher of the eighteenth century, Immanuel Kant was a deontologist who characterized humankind by reason and autonomy, or self-governance. In life, there is only one thing that is always and everywhere good. This is a good will, when one chooses to act in accordance with a universal law. With a good will, one must acknowledge the two types of imperatives: hypothetical and categorical. While the hypothetical imperative is non-morally attached to an end result, more important to Kant…

Context is everything. Whether interpreting someone’s speech or writing, it is essential to have all the facts or background to make a sound assessment. Often writers will provide readers with that background in the introduction of their short stories, so the reader can properly analyze the key points, arguments, morals, etc. of the story. Different words are used depending on the mood; the tone of an entire essay can change with the context. The phrase, “he is dead” could be interpreted to mean…

Silva Kachadorian Professor Ann Smith English 103, Section 4296 26 April 26, 2014 There are various legal methods that can determine a “good” jury. However besides a clean record, there is not a valid way to evaluate the integrity of a chosen juror. A person with no violent background and a peaceful exterior could be prejudicial in a trial as proven in the movie Twelve Angry Men. A prime example of a good juror is Juror 8. He critically challenged the other jurors to reconsider their vote. Another…
