Ryan

preferred that I kept his identity a secret so I am changing the names. The McManus’s, Ryan and his wife Alysica had a six year old daughter, Allison, a two year old son, Cooper and were expecting another child in December of 2013. After asking Ryan several questions I reflected upon his answers and put myself in his and his family’s shoes, living pay check to pay check and constantly being worrisome of what to do next. Ryan worked at General Motors and was one of the two thousand people to be…

There’s a sci-fi subplot verbalized by Nichols. First, on a small note, Nichols tends to repeat himself that he has failed (he says this about three times). He relates that Ryan needs to save the world. Daryl finds some futuristic device and refers to “Starburst”. One understands it’s a set up for a possible future novel. Adding a sci-fi element is an artistic choice. It definitely can work in a novel, but if it’s going to be set up, then provide just a brief payoff near the end, even if it’s…

a boy named Ryan needed a jacket. The season of winter had come upon us and I was going to do a lot of good things so I could get a lot of presents. I had brought two jackets because the day before, I left one in my bag. I saw this as an opportunity. I offered the misplaced jacket to him and he accepted my offer. A week had passed, and Ryan still had not given back my jacket. I had started to become curious with what he did to it. I told my mother about it, and she told me to ask Ryan for his…

his backstory isn’t entirely clear regarding that he’s supposed to be dead, but isn’t. He’s protective over Ryan, but he still doesn’t feel essential to the overall plot. Perhaps in the series, his role is more lucid. Also, the mention of Senator John Burns feels non-essential. The idea of Uncle Mike is questionable, because it’s never clear if Mike was really CIA and if he really placed Ryan in the witness protection…

“The Texas Franchise Tax” is a kind of tax on a person’s or an organization’s money and assets (Ryan, 2014). “In 2013, The Beacon Hill Institute at Suffolk University” analyzed and suggested that it would economically be beneficial to the employers and the poor in Texas if this tax will be removed (Ryan, 2014). The key points of this article are about mutual gain for the employers and the poor, and it mentions that the money would be left in the employers’ pocket if the government would dismiss…

a wealthy family in Mexico? Most people in Mexico are seen as seen as poor and very needy, but Esperanza came from a very blessed family. (Ryan 3) Esperanza's family is seen as a very wealthy family, especially in the 1930's. Her father is a wealthy farm owner that accumulates most of the money for the family, and Esperanza is spoiled rotten due to this. (Ryan 3) She owns many nice things that many her age couldn't afford in Mexico at the time. She has been excited lately due to the fact her…

email, or a thesis. This is done through a understanding of rhetoric and its many parts. In Ryan Guidroz’s CUE project, RAFT- Adaptive Welding Technologies, completed at General Motors' Lansing Grand River Assembly plant, he employs academic knowledge, professional experience, and basic problem solving skills to address an issue with GM’s spot welding process. He clearly conveys the issues…

for the same purpose, to learn. I feel that that is something I would want to change, not only with myself, but with the people around me. Previously, my friends and I would joke about people and how they differ from us. Having a relationship with Ryan opened my eyes greatly. So much so, that I would get angry at my friends for talking in such a hurtful way and recommend that they not speak in that manner. I never realized how cruel our conversations where until I stepped out the circle and…

Saving Private Ryan: Negative Argument Historical films matter, because for a lot of people, such films are where they get much of their knowledge of history from. After 300 came out, I noticed an increase in the number of my students who thought that Thermopylae was the reason the Persians lost that war, and Braveheart has certainly given people the idea that medieval Scots wore great kilts, when in reality the Scottish kilt is a late 16th century development. Small historical inaccuracies…

Jeanne White-Ginder: Fighting for her Son and Compromise Voiceover Script "Your son was such a hero" and all that, but to me, he was my son. And you know, sometimes it's so confusing because he was my little boy, and to share him with everybody, because he wasn't perfect, but at the same time, he was my son. (audio) It's 1981 and 5 homosexual men from California were discovered with a strange strand of pneumonia. It quickly spread. People were sent into a panic. What was this…
