My wife and I had decided that it was time for a new car. For the past 3 years I had been driving a hand-me-down 2001 Chrysler Concorde and my wife was driving our 2006 Dodge Magnum. As time went by the Concorde began to have one problem after another. The engine had over 200,000 miles and it was obvious by the way that it drove. I could feel it start to break down. The Magnum was a good and dependable car, but it was not suitable for the amount of driving that my wife had to do for her work.

In Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild, Chris McCandless entered the wild with little more than a .22 caliber rifle, ten pounds of rice, and a book on edible plants. Some critics consider his death to be a result of his ignorance and lack of preparation to face the brutal elements. Yet despite Chris McCandless’s small pack of supplies and lack of experience, he has a clear set of goals guiding his adventure and was expecting to test the boundaries of death. McCandless wanted to live purely off the land
why we called it hunting, because we didn't have an idea exactly what we were hunting for. We had forty acres of my backyard to do our merciless killing of defenseless animals. We were two ignorant kids with semi-automatic and lever-action .22 caliber rifles. As we strolled into the woods to see what terror we could create for the creatures of the forest, we noticed a large abundance of squirrels. They seemed to be dancing around as if they were gathering there before us in groups--laughing

Creative Task: The Stone Boy Six years ago, Arnold Curwing accidentally shot his brother with a .22 caliber rifle. He was nine years old at the time.

Chrysler’s commercial stands out against other car commercials because of its unique filming style. Rather than showing facts about the car, they give you a story. A story about the importance of the car in a broader sense than “it drives well.” The commercial starts with different shots of Detroit, Michigan. In the beginning, a dark filter fills the screen making Detroit look gloomy. While the shots are being shown, a voice describes the hard working people of Detroit. The camera spins around a
Dodge Brothers Although dodge has been producing trucks and cars since 1917, the 1981 these cars were the first to sport the Ram name.

Unfortunately, the paths they take to their pot of gold can leave, us as a society, looking greedy and shameless. With its new advertisement of the Viper SRT-10, Dodge has clearly captured some of our society’s view on money; do whatever it takes to get it. It pictures an old wealthy man and his beautiful, young bride with a brand new Dodge Viper sports car sitting in the background. In our days of Anna Nicole Smith and countless other gold digging Playboy bunnies, not to mention all of the not-so-famous
