The University of Michigan Should NOT Use Affirmative Action Imagine, your walking down the street looking for a job.

Analysis of "My Papa's Waltz" This poem has a kept form. Even at a glance, it has a set form. It consists of four quatrains, each line being an iambic tritameter. The poem is about a young boy waltzing with his father. One can assume that the speaker is a young boy, or perhaps the poet reminiscing his youth.

This benefits the state because it encourages minorities to compete to go to a school in a state where they promote diversity. If a school in a state promotes diversity than more minorities will look to apply to that school.

which college I would prefer attending. My first choice is Michigan State University. To become a psychiatrist, a student needs to attend medical school for eight years and then focus on psychiatry in residency for four years (Psychiatrists: Summary). After schooling, most psychiatrists start their own practice. This is my plan for after college and I hope I can stay on this pathway. Michigan State University is located in East Lansing, Michigan. There are approximately 50,000 students that attend MSU

First of all, The Final Four by Paul Volponi was a great book for me because I like playing basketball and also like watching March Madness and this book made it an intense game between the Michigan State Spartans and Troy University Trojans and I imagined that I was actually in the stadium watching the game. So after I was done reading my book there was a lot of literary devices, but the one that feels important and stands out more to the book is symbolism. The symbol of this book are the characters
