¶ … smile on her face vanished when I asked my friend Sue how she was doing. "Horrible," she began. "My uncle is suing me." Astonished at the audacity of a family member doing such a thing, I fished Sue for more details. She told me that her uncle was disputing her mother's will, which he contended held hidden monies that Sue was purposely withholding. Sue, noticeably distraught and uncharacteristically disheveled due to the emotional turmoil caused by the lawsuit, began to cry. "How will I be able to afford a lawyer? What am I going to do?"
Two years earlier my own mother joined a class action lawsuit against a major pharmaceutical corporation. The proceedings lasted several years, during which I actively engaged myself in collecting research about the company. I was interested not only because my mother stood to gain a substantial amount of money but also because the details of the case piqued my interest. Luckily, the team of attorneys was local, and...
Although it never went to trial, the case did involve a number of depositions. The case was settled out of court, the plaintiffs emerging satisfied and my curiosity raised high. My mother's experience, and that of my friend Sue, significantly inspired my decision to pursue a career in law. As I witnessed the fascinating labyrinth of statutes that steered the course of the cases these friends and family members encountered, I realized that I would be particularly suited for a career in the legal field.
Personal characteristics contribute greatly to my aptitude to be an attorney. Argumentative by nature, I don't shy away from challenging conversations or conflicts. However, I am not unnecessarily abrasive and in fact have a natural sense of empathy and ability to council people in times of need.

Wuthering First, list quotes from the passage that are either diction or detail. Diction: "a poor conclusion" "having brooded awhile on the scene he had just witnessed" "an absurd termination to my violent exertions" " train myself to be capable of working like Hercules, and when everything is ready and in my power, I find the will to lift a slate off either roof has vanished!" "My old enemies have not beaten me; now would be the
"Why I live at the P.O." is told in the first person, so its point-of-view is far more unreliable in character than "A Worn Path." The story makes use of a single character's limited point-of-view to derive humor from family conflicts and the narrator's jealousy of Stella-Rondo. Sister's tone is what makes her story unintentionally funny for the reader. The story's irony is derived from her melodramatic view of her
1. Arjuna’s crisis is established in Chapter 1 of the Bhagavad Gita. The crisis is a classic choice between fighting or fleeing, standing up to injustice versus passive inaction. Of course, had Arjuna refused to engage, the rest of the Gita would not have been written. Arjuna is a hero because he was willing to make personal sacrifices and to walk the delicate razor’s edge of the middle path. A

And because I am happy and dance and sing, They think they have done me no injury, And are gone to praise God and his priest and king, Who make up a heaven of our misery." In these two poems, Mark Blake was allegorically relating the importance
