Since most of the people at The Ark were regulars, a few people had looked at me in awe, wondering who the I was. The stares kind of made me feel a little uncomfortable as you could clearly tell I didn’t fit in. The way I dressed compared to them was much different. Usually I dress to impress most or make myself seem presentable unlike these less fortunate who didn’t care they looked like. l. Spending a few hours in that soup kitchen really made me realized that some people are much fortunate that others and that we must be thankful for what we have.
Chris Crutcher wrote the book Whale Talk for a reason to entertain the reader and because he felt it would send a positive and negative message to the reader. The book has multiple messages such as, bullying, harassment, racism, violence, abuse, teamwork, caring for others and family values.

Marcus Rediker captured the stories and events of past-time common day slaves; he transformed their words into the common language to which most American people understood. Although his book unveiled the terrifying, tragic every day life of slavery, the overall message of the book was powerful and eye opening. Captives of the African continent withstood an extraneous amount of suffering through the process of becoming a slave, through the magnitudes they overcame from many forms of resistance, and real life accounts, which influenced many to join the abolishment movement. The insight that Rediker gave to many people that were skeptical about slavery and gave them a way to choose a side. Marcus Rediker’s emphasis of slaves, sailors, and slave
It is in this light as a man that I will review him, grown with a known background. As those as before, it takes a special person to take their hard earned or saved funds to spend it on helping others while living in austere conditions for a week during Spring Break. He saved up for a whole year so he could do it again this past March. Each mission volunteer pays for their own way to work in Spartan conditions in the heat to help others, running government sponsored clinics in the more rural areas in the mountains. It was during these trips,

Locke, a sergeant who served in the Vietnam War and lost many close friends, who now drinks the night away to keep the memory of them away from him.
His house was always full of partygoers, and yet after he’s gone only one friend cares to attend his funeral. Everyone knew of him, no one knew him. They were all using him for his money and his generosity and hospitality. They were all selfish. “’I couldn’t get to the house,’ he remarked.
Then my job will shift, to where I will need to work with my patient to get away from the situation. For example, enroll them into a rehabilitation center, or get them help. My annual salary would be around 38,520$. Which would be about 3,210$ dollars a paycheck per month. That would be more than enough to live in the area that I plan on moving to.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) defines risk as the “Potential for an unwanted outcome” (2010, p 27). At the local level of government, the potential for an unwanted outcome is determined based on the threats that the community faces (DHS, 2011a). A threat is hazard that has the potential to disrupt a community, harm its citizens, destroy its infrastructure and properties, and affect the environment (DHS, 2010).
