This is a Spanish composition from Spanish 204. It's a reaction-type essay in response to a movie my class watched having to do with a family in Cuba. This does not make a lot of sense because I needed to squeeze a lot of content into 215 words. I wrote about 270 words below, but I didn't want to go much more over the word limit!
He soñado con poseer muchos negocios. Estableceré por supuesto un cierto tipo de negocio en el futuro, pero no estoy seguro de qué clase será.
Easwaran, “A man to match his mountains: Badshah Khan, nonviolent soldier of Islam”
“If we are on the road to ruin, it is because we have neither the true spirit of religion, nor the true spirit of patriotism nor love for our nation… A great revolution is coming and you …
Rohan Gunaratna, “Inside Al Qaeda: global network of terror”
So if we defend our people in Palestine, the world reacts by ganging up against the Muslims under the banner of fighting terrorism, falsely and unjustly (p. xlvii).

Christopher Columbus, “From a letter to Gabriel Sanchez”
“… But I forbade giving them a very trifling thing and of no value, such as bits of plates, dishes, or glass… So, too, for pieces of hoops, jugs, jars, and pots they bartered cotton and gold like beasts. This I forbade, because …
One Country, “At the UN, women rally”
In addition to an overall agenda for women’s empowerment, the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action dealt with 12 critical areas of concern for women: poverty, education, health, violence against women, armed conflict, economic structures, power sharing and decision making, mechanisms to …
La ciudad de Milwaukee tiene una herencia muy rica. En 1795, el francés Jacques Vieau construyó un establecimiento por el lago Michigan. Milwaukee fue incorporado en 1846. En aquel momento, la gente de Alemania, de Francia, de Irlanda, y de Polonia viajaba a la ciudad. En este tiempo, Milwaukee es la vigésimo segundo ciudad más grande de los Estados Unidos con una población de 579,000 personas.
A multicivilizational United States will not be the United States; it will be the United Nations.
Not many ideas are more challenging for me to think about, much less take a side on. The discussion in class and in Huntington's article about the United States and its identity were interesting and confusing.
...Not only can a language arbitrarily choose its signifiers; it can divide up a spectrum of conceptual possibilities in any way that it likes. Moreover, and here we come to an important point, the fact that these concepts, or signifieds, are arbitrary divisions of a continuum means that they are not autonomous entities, each of which is defined by some kind of essence. They are members of a system and are defined by their relations to the other members of that system.
This quote, though fairly long, was more or less a revelation for me. After I read it, many concepts about languages suddenly made sense. For instance, in Culler's text about Saussure and also in Hudson's "The Great Issues (Grey Tissues)," the variation between any two languages was a popular and complicated topic.
SECTION 1
In The Golden Compass, an outstanding work of mystery and imagination by Philip Pullman, a young girl of ten years is destined to fulfill the mission that her dreaded mother and father have lived for, without even knowing it. Her name is Lyra Belacqua. She has lived among scholars and college students at Jordan College in Oxford for as long as she can remember.

Dear Charlie,

Abraham Lincoln, the nation's 16th president, was born on February 12th, 1809 in Nob Creek, Kentucky. He lived in a forested area in a log cabin. His grandfather, Abraham, was a Quaker who was murdered by Indians. Abe Lincoln was never really close to his father. Abe was definitely a mother's boy. On October 5th of 1818, Lincoln's mom sadly passed away. If I were Lincoln, I would be crushed! Not having a real mom must be really hard.
