Birthday
February 22nd 1992 was not only remarkable because of the birth of yours truly, but it was also memorable for the New York Times front page news stories that sparked a lot of interest worldwide, the major sporting event of the winter Olympics that changed a lot of people’s views on both figure skating and hockey, and finally the price and model of the new car of the century the SAAB 9000S. I hope to inform my audience well enough that I won’t need to tell anyone when my birthday is ever again they will already be well aware.
First of all the front page of the New York Times had some very fascinating stories such as Israeli Army Ending 24-hour Incursion in South Lebanon in which Sheik Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, spiritual mentor of the pro-Iranian Party of God, said in a sermon today that “Muslim fighters had resorted to firing missiles into Israel only after Shiite villages had come under heavy artillery bombardment from Israeli troops and their militia ally, the South Lebanon Army.” He also said “members of the Party of God should stop using the weapons if the shelling of villages in southern Lebanon stopped.” In an effort to promote peace Mr. Berri made sure that all fighters would avoid setting up their artillery encampments in southern Lebanon and that they would not carry arms in areas where the Lebanese Army and the United Nations peacekeepers were deployed. Another intriguing story from the front page was Conservatives Get Warning by Quayle to Stand by Bush. This article talked about how the White House dispatched Vice President Dan Quayle to warn Republican conservatives that if they labor against President Bush they "risk being out of power for a generation." The final story I want to mention from the front page of the New York Times is Head of Endowment for the Arts Is Forced from His Post by Bush talked about how Patrick J. Buchanan, the President's conservative challenger, would make an issue of Mr. Bush's support of the arts endowment as he campaigned

    American Author Zane Gray once stated “I hate birthdays.” Perhaps he said this because he has had a bad experience with birthdays. Maybe he simply doesn’t like celebrating something as frivolous as a birthday. Personally, I concur with Mr. Gray’s statement, I too, hate birthdays. Even though the vast majority of the population enjoy their birthday and most likely consider it their favorite holiday, birthdays do not appeal to me however because of, my past natal day experiences, the annoyance of the annual overhyped celebrations, and my fear of being disappointed again.…

    In this article, Jeb Bush says he wants more civility in our government and reinforce its presence as a world leader at the Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference. During this conference Bush wanted to create a contrast between him and Donald Trump by not only calling for greater civility in our government but also in life. This article was not useful for my essay because our prompt was not to compare and contrast the candidates but rather the media that portrays the candidates.…

    If one thing is for sure, statues of America’s “historic figures” are arguably one of the lesser evils humans have had to face. The recent removal of several objectionable statues across the United States has sparked a debate amongst its citizens, Dennis Prager and Robert Kuttner being two of them. After reading “Goodbye, Columbus” and “Those Who Don’t Fight Evil Fight Statues”, I found their arguments to be relatively similar, but each with a unique rationale. What the two seemed to agree on was that leftists often fail to identify the real threat in a political issue. Prager uses the example of leftists attacking anti-Islamists instead of Islamists, the greater enemy in the Syrian civil war. I found myself agreeing with Prager in that leftists…

    Joseph Jobrani Analysis

    • 1054 Words
    • 5 Pages

    President Joseph Jobrani’s numbers had been sliding in the polls for a second consecutive year. He had to do something to stop his increasing unpopularity. After the glory of winning a historic and improbable election, things had gone south. Not only was Joseph Jobrani the first president of Middle Eastern descent, no one outside of his friends foresaw him beating a very powerful superdelegate from Missouri with very powerful friends no less. He had to fight an up-hill battle from the beginning of his presidency. The disaster of the previous administration had put the country on the brink of an economic collapse thanks to unnecessary wars. According to the experts, the wars had accrued a high debt and in effect, had divided America in…

    Birthday Fallacy

    • 403 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The Birthday Fallacy can be described as the mistaken idea that the second proposition of the [What argument? Any argument? Hardly. You need to be more specific and detailed.] argument follows from the first proposition. It [what means this?] means that the way the argument is composed is not logically correct [How? What is the fallacy/}. The reason why the Birthday Fallacy is actually a fallacy is because it’s a mistaken belief based on the unsound argument. [NO! A fallacy is not a mistaken belief; it’s a type of bad argument.] And you still haven’t said what fallacy the Birthday Fallacy is!]…

    Birthdays In The Giver

    • 412 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In the dystopian novel, The Giver, by Lois Lowry, and in the current American Society, birthdays are celebrated both similarly and differently. In both societies birthdays are acknowledged, however in unlike ways. In The Giver, Jonas’s society acknowledges birthdays through a mass celebration in December until they are 12 years old. Every child 12 or younger, celebrates their birthday on one out of two days reserved for celebration. “The Ceremony of 12,” on the second day, is the final celebration; after that, citizens do not keep track of their birthdays and they are no longer celebrated (45). In contrast, the modern day American society celebrates birthdays individually on their actual day of birth. Also, in both societies, Jonas’s and modern…
