Post 1 Brandon C Hello class, My name is Brandon Chastain and I am very excited to be taking this class because history is my favorite subject and it was always interesting to me growing up. Originally I was born and raised in a little city called Rome down in Georgia, However, I am currently living in Florida. I am an HVAC technician for the Air Force but I am applying to retrain to a training manager due to my pursuit of a degree in Human Resources. Currently, I am working on my last class for my associate’s degree and I will then start my bachelor’s. I hope to one day become an officer in the future. I have a beautiful wife named Venus and a little boxer puppy named Maya. My personal hobbies include basketball, drawing, playing video games and, going on bike rides. Out of the 5 images of monuments that were presented in the instructions, I personally find monument number 4 to be the most interesting. I would guess that it is a tomb of an ancient civilization somewhere in the middle east. One thing is clear, the civilization that built this was definitely far more advanced for the time they were living in. They were most likely dominating the section of the world they were residing in. I would also guess that the monument was most likely built during the Sumerian era. I would not know how they built it or what materials were needed, however, given how long ago this was built I would assume that basic rocks/ bricks were used to build this. As far as what this monument was used for I am betting it was used as a tomb of their dead kings or maybe a religious site. All in all, this is a beautiful structure and shows how creative and innovative ancient human civilizations were. Post 2 Luke N My name is Luke Nagele. I am 35 years old and live in Tucson, Arizona. I have a beautiful wife, we have been married for eight years now, and we have been together for 11 years. I also have a 13-year-old son. I am currently in the U.S. Air Force Reserves. I have spent six years in active duty and nine years in the reserves with a total of 15 years so far. My wife and I love to ride motorcycles and SCUBA dive. My wife is a rider as well. We have been on over ten cross country trips together on our motorcycles. The most memorable trip we took was riding from Tucson, AZ to Sturgis, South Dakota for the 75th motorcycle rally in 2015. I know we live in a desert; however, the ocean is only 5 ½ hours south of us. My wife and I try to go diving at least twice a year. We have only dove in two locations, Mexico and Belize. However, we have dove in Mexico on over seven different trips. Of the five photos of monuments; I choose the first one, the bridge. The function of the first monument is the connect one piece of land to another that is divided by water or terrain that it is not easy to maneuver through or not accessible for any given reason. This monument is built from earth which can be brick, stones, rocks or dirt. When its built from bricks, rock or stone it is a lot harder to build but it can last longer than wood, as wood will rot over time. This bridge has arches which is common in stone, rock and brick structures. This design has been used for over 2000 years, and is still common in the 21st century.

Explain how a character from a novel, film, television show, or another medium of your choice evolves—either good or bad—from the beginning to the end of the story.

Character Evolution Instructions Welcome to the first essay assignment in the course! Most of the essay assignments in this course are centered around a thesis statement, which you may remember from the lesson is a personal, debatable claim that should appear in a single statement at the end of your introduction paragraph (please underline them). Then, each of your body paragraphs is constructed to serve as support in proving your thesis. Let’s get started! Topic and Structure: Character Evolution – Explain how a character from a novel, film, television show, or another medium of your choice evolves—either good or bad—from the beginning to the end of the story. Your introduction will provide a brief synopsis of the story and then smoothly transition into the last sentence of your introduction—the thesis statement. Next, you will develop at least three body paragraphs, each dedicated to one example (such as a scene) in your chosen medium that serves as support for your thesis claim. Finally, you will compile a conclusion paragraph that synthesizes your findings. Creating the thesis statement: Is your argument focused and meaningful in a way that it also offers a clear-cut, but debatable point of view, which a reader might either agree or disagree with? Avoid claims that are too obvious to the readers—offer them a new idea! Remember, a thesis also serves as a map for your essay, providing a promise of subtopics you will discuss in your body paragraphs in the order in which they appear in your essay. Sample thesis statement: In The Midnight’s Shadow, Charles Bellingham begins as a lonely, self-loathing candle maker, but after he meets Miss Charmaine, begins working for the king, and takes an understudy, he transforms into a confident man who sees the townspeople and the kingdom as a friendly and prosperous community. Developing the body paragraphs: The way you present your supporting evidence is just as important as the evidence itself. When you create a body paragraph with the goal of supporting a claim in your thesis, you want to include a balance of research and/or examples with original material. In other words, original material refers to discussions you develop that help explain the connection between your research and/or examples and your thesis claim. You don’t want to assume that your research and/or examples are enough to prove your thesis—you want to inform your reader how and why cited material serves the purpose you intend. Therefore, begin each body paragraph with a topic sentence that affirms your opinion. A topic sentence for the first body paragraph in a paper with the thesis from above might say, “Miss Charmaine, ever so charming in her ways, bumps into a scowling Mr. Bellingham, only to annoy him further, but as he slowly raises his gaze to evaluate the source of this unpleasantry, he is rather surprised to see a such a lovely creature affectionately maintaining his stare, eliciting an intrigue that serves as the first defining moment in Charles’ positive transformation.” Next, follow up the topic sentence with more about this scene that serves as the defining moment. Then, spend significant time explaining how the events you just discussed prove your thesis. Finally, end the paragraph with a concluding sentence that synthesizes your efforts. Compiling the conclusion: Lastly, compile a conclusion paragraph that summarizes your findings in a new manner, using fresh language and perspective. Make sure to work in a restatement of your thesis statement (but not a repetitive version) as well as any other relevant ideas you present in the essay. You want your conclusion to read like new information but without actually presenting new arguments. In sum, synthesize instead of summarize.

Describe the 3 interrelated pathways presented as explanations for this relationship in this brief. Which do you feel is the strongest? Why?

-There appears to be a dose-response relationship between educational attainment and health—the more you get, the better it is. Why this is true is not clearly understood, though several reasonable hypotheses have been proposed. Describe the 3 interrelated pathways presented as explanations for this relationship in this brief. Which do you feel is the strongest? Why? -According to data presented in the brief, “the United States is the only industrialized nation where young people currently are less likely than members of their parents’ generation to be high-school graduates.” What evidence is given to support this statement? Why do you think this situation exists? What will it take to correct it? -As would be expected, parents’ educational attainment is linked to their children’s health and even their educational attainment. These linkages, in turn, influence the health and educational attainment of their children’s children, as well, perpetuating an endless intergenerational cycle of high (or low) educational attainment and its associated better (or poorer) health. How does this fit with the biblical understanding of multigenerational influence (Exodus 34:6–7)? In what ways can the Church help interrupt the vicious cycle beginning with low educational attainment? Pray that God will use you to be a positive influence on your children in this area or on others whom God will bring across your path.
