Cabela’s Company History In the year of 1961, Dick Cabela came up with an idea to sell fishing flies he purchased from a furniture show in Chicago, Illinois.

“We were all talking about the space between us all and the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion. Never glimpse the truth – then it’s far too late when they pass away” quoted George Harrison, an English guitarist and songwriter. He meant that some people cannot handle reality, they need a way to escape and be what or who they want. However, when they create these illusions, they create distance between themselves and the real world (a space is made). And the only time people regret
“I thought about how there are two types of secrets: the kind you want to keep in, and the kind you don't dare to let out.” -Ally Carter. Throughout one’s life, secrets build up and push people down. The choice to keep these secrets can affect the outcome of many relationships. In life, people forget to realize how information they share can affect their surroundings. Although some secrets need to be shared, others stay in to protect people from all danger. Secrets are not always a horrible thing
A secret is something that is kept or meant to be kept unknown or unseen by others. In other words, it is usually a piece of information that is only known by one person or a few people. Many individuals are able to hide their secrets, however many eventually end up revealing them. But how do people behave before and after they reveal a secret? In Mary Karr’s memoir “The Liars’ Club”, the author greatly demonstrates this through Mary and her mother Charlie. Karr suggests that keeping a secret leads
What defines a “friend”? This question is ancient- it has been thought and applied by people for many generations. As for me, I thought I once knew what a “friend” was. When I was much younger than I was today, I never used to think about what a “good friend” was and who my good friends were. I just accepted everybody as my friend and palled around with them. However, I’m beginning to see things differently. Now that I am in 8th grade, I am beginning to realize what defines a “friend”, what defines

When it comes to urban legends and conspiracy theories, there is one urban legend in particular that comes to mind; Area 51. Area 51 is a United States military base located just north of Las Vegas, Nevada. It is a place whose existence the U.S. government long spurned to acknowledge, until now. On August 16th, 2015, the CIA released declassified documents about the history of the U-2 plane. These documents officially acknowledge Area 51. Furthermore, the Air Force states that the purpose of the
The Role of Secrecy Secrecy can exist anywhere, within groups of people or simply environment settings. There is always access to anything considered to be a “secret.” As it was mentioned in class, the past can always be re-narrative, therefore re-told. Although one may think there will be disclosure about something said or done, there is no guarantee. There is a sense of gain for someone who discovers or exposes the secrecy that exists. The example used to explain the role of secrecy, was the
the 1971 Pentagon Papers case (New York Times Company v. United States). In this case, the Nixon Administration tried to prevent the New York Times and the Washington Post (United States v. Washington Post Co.) from publishing documents and other classified materials pertaining to United States activities in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. The administration said that further publication of the papers would be "inimical to the national interest" (Rudenstein 4), and that prior restraint was necessary
Even from the beginning, this film both sets itself apart with the first-person “found footage” style, while at the same time, also has the chance to be not very different at all. Personally, I believe the movie certainly achieved the former statement; setting itself apart in a number of different ways. While taking from budget-cutting idea of Eduardo Sánchez’s The Blair Witch Project, using a camera carried by a character– in this case the protagonist– it also steers away from the horror genre that

Early one morning of December, 2012 Glenn Greenwald, a reported who often writes about national-security issues, received an email from an anonymous email server. Anonymous email servers are used to hide a person’s identity. The source was asking for Greenwald’s public encryption, or PGP, key. Greenwald did not have one and certainly did not know how to install or use it. Greenwald disregarded the email. The source later sent step-by-step introductions on how to install and use a PGP. Again, Greenwald
Secrets, they have been a part of our world since the creation of human life. We have always kept secrets, and will never stop keeping secrets. But what happens when are secrets are revealed. Do we get in trouble? Do we face punishments? Who knows, it all depends on the secret. But sometimes secrets are so big that it takes someone to hack, to leak. It takes someone to find the secret itself and reveal to the world. For these three groups they did just that. The Washington Post, WikiLeaks, and other
Often times in literature, a character within the plot is confined to withholding a secret in order for their success. However, they usually end up having to reveal it but, at the perfect time and under the best circumstances. This secrecy can often result in much bigger problems than it originally presented, and will almost always affect the plot. If a secret is not revealed by the owner it will almost always get revealed another way, and this will present further issues. Although the reveal of
