Beloit College
I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
1. My school is incredibly unique.
There are so many different kinds of people that each bring something really special to contribute to the school which makes it so unique.
2. I am not just a number at my school.
I am a student that my professors know about and I like knowing that my professors can watch my progress.
3. I feel like I am contributing something to the community.
I like feeling like I can make a difference on my campus.
4. I really do feel like it is my home away from home.
It isn't just my school. It is absolutely my home away from home. I feel so comfortable there and it was as hard of an adjustment as I had thought it would be.
5. My professors know me and I feel that I can easily communicate with them.
I feel like they will do anything to help students succeed. I can always go to my professors. I like knowing that I have someone looking out for me.
6. The incredible people i've met
The people I have met at my school, even after my first year, have made such a huge impact on me. I know that these are people that I will stay friends with long after college is done.
7. Opportunities
My school offers so many different opportunities to get involved in things around campus. Even writing for the Odyssey was an opportunity offered to me by my school and I decided to challenge myself by writing an article. Turns out, I really enjoy writing. I might not have had this opportunity at a bigger school.
8. Students want to learn
I feel as though I am not just learning inside the classroom at my school. I am learning outside the classroom to from my fellow classmates who want to engage about the things we have learned.
9. Ability to join a sorority and have a house full of people I know I can talk to anytime I need to
I wasn't sure if being in a sorority was something I was interested in but when I met the amazing people in the sorority and how inclusive it was, I knew that it was going to be a good thing for me. The people I've met in my sorority have been so amazing.
10. I have figured out how I learn best because my school offers so many different ways of learning.
Because of the smaller class sizes, there is more flexibility in the way the class is taught. This was helpful because I was able to try out different ways of learning and figure out which way I learn best.
Read the poem.
The Whippoorwill
by Madison Julius Cawein
I.
Above lone woodland ways that led
To dells the stealthy twilights tread
The west was hot geranium red;
And still, and still,
Along old lanes the locusts sow
With clustered pearls the Maytimes know,
Deep in the crimson afterglow,
We heard the homeward cattle low,
And then the far-off, far-off woe
Of "whippoorwill!" of "whippoorwill!"
II.
Beneath the idle beechen boughs
We heard the far bells of the cows
Come slowly jangling towards the house;
And still, and still,
Beyond the light that would not die
Out of the scarlet-haunted sky;
Beyond the evening-star's white eye
Of glittering chalcedony,
Drained out of dusk the plaintive cry
Of "whippoorwill," of "whippoorwill."
III.
And in the city oft, when swims
The pale moon o'er the smoke that dims
Its disc, I dream of wildwood limbs;
And still, and still,
I seem to hear, where shadows grope
Mid ferns and flowers that dewdrops rope,
Lost in faint deeps of heliotrope
Above the clover-sweetened slope,
Retreat, despairing, past all hope,
The whippoorwill, the whippoorwill.
Whippoorwill - a nocturnal bird with a distinctive call that is suggestive of its name
In "The Whippoorwill," what is the speaker's viewpoint of the whippoorwill’s call?
A The call sounds forlorn.
B. The call is annoying and bothersome.
C. The call is a sign that the city is too crowded.
D. The call reminds him of a pet he once had.
Answer:
A

What is "The Evacuation"?In Britain during the Second World War, citizens were moved to locations deemed to be less dangerous in order to safeguard people, particularly children, from the risks connected with the aerial bombing of towns.
On September 1st, 1939, "Operation Pied Piper" officially started, relocating 1.5 million people. In June 1940, when a seaborne invasion was anticipated, and from impacted cities after the Blitz started in September 1940, there were additional waves of official evacuation and re-evacuation from the south and east coasts. There were several unofficial evacuations both within and from the UK as well as formal evacuations from the UK to other regions of the British Empire.
British nationals moving from the Channel Islands and refugees arriving from continental Europe were two other large-scale civilian movements.
The Anderson Committee created the Government Evacuation Scheme in the summer of 1938, and the Ministry of Health put it into action. Priority evacuees were relocated from the major urban centers and billeted on the available private housing in more rural locations. The nation was split into evacuation, neutral, and receiving zones.

Can someone write me a paragraph on Genocide I'm gonna add it to my essay
I have until 11:59 so take your time :)
Answer:
As the Genocide Convention of 1948 states, “at all periods of history genocide has inflicted great losses on
humanity” (Kaye and Stråth 2000: 24). Nevertheless, the twentieth century was termed the “century of genocide”
because of the high number of cases of genocide during that time period (Bartrop 2002: 522). For the purpose of this
essay, the definition of genocide will be taken from the Genocide Convention, which defines genocide as “intent to
destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”. The genocide of the Armenians, the
Holocaust and the genocide in Rwanda are the three genocides of the twentieth century that fit that definition
(Destexhe 1994: 4-5). In this essay, the causes of modern genocide will be investigated using these three genocides
as case studies. There are various reasons why genocide may occur and it is often a combination of circumstances
that leads to genocide. The present essay will investigate the underlying conditions that make genocide possible,
while leaving out catalytic events that may trigger genocide. The essay will firstly draw on the works of Horkheimer
and Adorno in examining the relations between Enlightenment ideas and genocide. The correlations between war
and economic crises will be subject to analysis in the second part of the essay. Finally, the creation of out-groups and
in-groups will be explored. While these are certainly not the only causes of genocide, they may be deemed to be preconditions.
Raphael Lemkin coined the term “genocide” in the 1940s with the Holocaust in mind, which for him signified the
return of an enlightened people to barbarism (Freeman 1995: 210). Similarly, Foster (1980: 2) sees the Holocaust as
an aberration of an enlightened and developed nation. However, there are other scholars who argue that genocide is
not an exception of Enlightenment but in fact a result of it. Horkheimer and Adorno (1973: 3-4) argue that the ideals of
Enlightenment, which are human emancipation and rationality, alienate humans from nature and result in men
wanting to control nature and, in turn, other people as well. Bauman (1989: 91), continuing this idea over a decade
later, proposes that since the Enlightenment, the extermination of a people serves to establish a perfect society. The
Enlightenment brought with it the belief in an evolutionary development towards a better society through state
engineering (Bauman 1989: 70; Kaye and Stråth 2000: 11). “Gardening” and “modern medicine” were used as
metaphors for human tasks that would improve a society (Bauman 1989: 70). In the enlightened world, a state can
become a “wonderful utopia” (Hamburg 2008: 44) through “designing, cultivating and weed-poisoning” (Bauman1989: 13). It is a modern idea that everything can be measured and classified, even a “race” and its character
(Bauman 1989: 68). This classification of races, coupled with the modern idea of a constantly improvable society,
leads to Social-Darwinist ideas of the survival of the fittest (Kaye and Stråth 2000: 15).
Armenians (Balakian 2008: 160), Jews (Bauman 1989: 76) and Tutsi (Mullen 2006: 172) were seen as worthless
groups standing between a population and the realisation of such a perfect society. Therefore, in the mind of the
“rational and enlightened” thinker, they were legitimate targets for extermination (Kaye and Stråth 2000: 15). This
“purifying” of the state through genocide is reflected in the language of the genocidaires (Stone 2004: 50).
Armenians were termed “tubercular microbes” and a local politician asked rhetorically “isn’t it the duty of a doctor to
destroy these microbes?” (Balakian 2008: 160). Hitler spoke of the “Jewish virus” and that “by eliminating the pest,
[he would] do humanity a service” (Bauman 1989: 71). Not only medical terms were used to justify the killings.
Gardening metaphors can also be found. In Rwanda, the chopping up of Tutsi men was called “bush clearing” and
slaughtering women and children was labelled as “pulling out the roots of the bad weeds” (Prunier 1997: 142). These
three examples support Bauman’s theory that the Enlightenment brought about the idea of being able to socially
engineer a perfect state. Genocide was consequently justified by the idea of “purifying” the state through tasks that a doctor or a gardener would employ in order to improve an unhealthy body or a garden.
Explanation: Your welcome by the way
Answer:
Genocide is the act in which one kills everybody who stands in their path. They may believe that said people are out to get them, so they must get rid of them first so that they can survive. They may do this due to mental health issues, regret, vengeance, or even just to do it. Genocide does not always have an explanation, but it is very important to find who is committing said act in time before more die. These criminals may be a serial killer looking for something to fill some kind of void in their lives where someone left them with. They may even just be seeking thrill! Some people kill just for the rush in their adrenalin! While one may think this is absurd, it seems to be pretty common. look at H.H. Holmes (Henry Howard Holmes). He built a mansion, known as the murder mansion, in which had several traps. A few of these traps were doors that led to brick walls, stair cases that led no where, and even gas-filled hotel rooms. He was convicted as a serial killer and was sentenced to death, surprisingly for only one murder. He died on May 7th, 1896.

If anything gets in the way of our good eating, it’s lifestyle. When you get home from work late, why spend an hour in front of the stove when you can spend two minutes at the microwave? And doesn’t that oatmeal box claim to be a good source of calcium for our kids, never mind the small print listing 14 grams of sugar? A small soda at the movies could satisfy a family of four.
