authors used rhetorical appeals. Both authors wrote that having two or more languages in a family could cause separation and pain because the family looses the ability to communicate. Lee Thomas is a linguistics teacher at the University of Nevada, Reno. He probably can speak at least one other language than English, if not more. He probably writes many articles dealing with language use. He cares about language use and its affects in the family and in the society. He knows what he is talking
about the state Nevada, they think about gambling, fast weddings and easy divorces, prostitution and twenty four hour a day drinking. Reno and Las Vegas have capitalized on these markets and use them to attract tourist into their casinos. One town in Nevada attracts tourist for a completely different reason. Just a short 2 hour drive from Las Vegas the town of Rachel Nevada pulls in tourist hoping to catch a glance of something extraterrestrial. Rachel is the newest town in Nevada. Before the town
about the impending media circus that would have ensued if Conforte had actually opened a licensed brothel just outside of Sin City. Albeit, the casino industry didn’t have a moral objection to legal prostitution, after all, it’s an open secret that Nevada casinos have provided prostitutes for their high roller clients. Instead, this shadowy braggadocio with a felony record was a public relations nightmare for the gambling industry at a time when more and more mobsters were being run out of the

into something new with a good attitude and know that there is always something else out there, then it works out for the best. Moving to Reno, Nevada from Glendale, Arizona defines me and is significant to my life because it made me grow as a person and it made me who I am today. In the middle of junior year, my parents told me that we were moving to Reno for my dad’s new job. I said, “Okay, I will be living with Andri then, so I can graduate from Mountain Ridge?” Boy was I wrong. I thought
article titled “Language Use in Family and in Society” written by Lee Thomas and Linh Cao, is about how language can affect a single family in a terrible way. Thomas teaches linguistics at the University of Nevada, Reno, and Cao is an English teacher at Sparks High School located in Sparks, Nevada. Cao has much background information on the topic because she herself is part of the family discussed in this essay. Their concern with a language barrier is that it leads to confusion and frustration within
responsible for converting this city to what it is now today. The Hoover Dam construction which began in 1928 brought in a lot of workers to this city. In 1931 gambling was made legal in Nevada and downtown Vegas slowly emerged as an entertainment zone for the workers. Within a few years Las Vegas surpassed Reno and established itself as the gambling capital of the world. The opening of the El Rancho Resort in 1941 and the Flamingo Hotel in 1946 created a building buzz with every hotel and casino
The Fight Over Elian Gonzalez It began on Thanksgiving day, in November, 1999, when two fisherman pulled the body of a five year old cuban boy out of the waters off the coast of Florida. The boy was Elian Gonzalez. He was one of three survivors of a group of Cuban refugees seeking political asylum and freedom from communist Cuba under Fidel Castro's rule. Elian's mother, Elisabeth Brotons, along with her common-law husband and nine others, drowned when the boat carrying them to the United States
Let it Ride Catch the streak This game has its fans, and I am certainly one of them. Unlike Blackjack, when you win at this game, you usually do so by getting a good hand, and therefore, a good payoff. This is one of the downsides to playing Let It Ride. Most people lose every time they play, waiting for that one time where they get a big hand like a straight flush. But I have developed a system where you can play and not lose much money, or in some cases, win a little while you wait for that

Chapter 5 presents the western area and how the Colorado Fur Trade really began in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, with Taos and Santa Fe being the trade centers. It all began with the “coarse fur” trade (deer, antelope and elk) with northern New Mexico by the Spanish beginning in the mid-1600s and lasting well into the 1850s, later expanding into the “fine fur” trade (beaver and muskrat) in the 1800s. From here, it’s hard to follow exactly how the trade was conducted as until the early
Sports Gambling Each year, more than $380 billion is wagered legally and illegally on sports (Egan, “Sports betting vs. the Stock Market: Which is Riskier”). It’s estimated that only about 4% or roughly $1.5 billion is wagered legally in the state of Nevada, the only state where sports gambling is legal (Egan, “Sports betting vs. the Stock Market: Which is Riskier”). This means that billions of dollars is currently changing hands illegally and untaxed. The majority of the wagers are placed either through

Darren was a part of a writing group known as “Let’s Go,” which consists of exploring and writing on specific areas in the country. The current writing project for Darren was about Vegas, so Darren loaded up his friends in a beat-up vehicle, and they began to travel. Even though Vegas was the end location, they decided to travel around the country to visit
Volcanism of Long Valley, California: The Bishop Tuff Eruption The west coast of North America has been tectonically and volcanically active for billions of years. The Sierra Nevada Mountains in eastern California were born of volcanoes, and magma has been erupting in the Long Valley to the east of the mountains for over three million years (Bailey, et. al., 1989). However, the climactic eruption of the region occurred relatively recently in the region's geologic history. About 760,000 years
1. As stated in the text for much of the early history of Nevada it was never considered as a place for settlement but instead used for quicker and easier trails to California or trapping expeditions. The Mexican-American war, the movement of the Mormons into the West, and the search for mineral wealth all indirectly ended up leading to the settlement of the territory. Initially Nevada was a territory of Mexico that they had gained after achieving independence from the Spanish in the early 19th century
