3a. What is the shortest loan (36 months, 48 months, 60 months or 72 months) that has a monthly payment within your $500 budget that will allow you to buy the $45,000 car? Answer: Through Bank of America, I found a rate of 2.99% for the 36, 48 and 60 month loans. We are able to put down 20% and will need to finance $36,000. There is no loan period for the $45,000 car that would be under our $500

The receiving person would get a new lease on life, getting to live longer thanks to the original owner of the organ. There would also, most likely, not be a shortage of organs for people who desperately needed them. Second, the bad part of paying for organs is that you are selling parts of the human body. This violates a 1984 federal law that declares organs a national resource and not subjected to compensation. Pennsylvania only plans to donate $300 to the funeral home to help pay for the costs of funerals.
There is a moral difference between Shelton’s killing of his attackers and that of his other victims. Darby and Ames caused personal harm to Shelton and thus gave him the moral right to try and prevent any other future pain that could be caused by these men, but the other victims were combatants in the war that Shelton waged against the “system”. When looking at Darby and Ames, Shelton takes a more utilitarian approach when dealing with their killings. The government “system” is supposed to punish those who are wrong. But in the trial of Darby and Ames, only Ames was punished severely while Darby was allowed to go free.
Braulio Sanchez 5118986 Singer’s Unrealistic Solution In the New York Times article, “The Singer Solution to World Poverty,” Peter Singer tries to persuade his audience to donate a huge chunk of their annual earnings to charities that assist those children that are impoverished overseas. Singer does this by proposing almost insane, unrealistic ideas, such as donating more than half of their income and only living off of necessities. This, of course, is preposterous because as humans we want to have luxury items such as expensive TVs and fancy cars so we can enjoy our leisure time. When looking at this article its ineffectiveness becomes clear; this article in its entirety is a giant appeal to the readers’ emotions with not enough logical or reasonable arguments to support his argument. Although Singer has strong ethos because of his status as a philosopher, his essay is ineffective due to his misuse of two certain scenarios in order to persuade people to donate by making them feel guilty & relies far too much on pathos to persuade his audience rather than focusing on logos and ethos.
Even though the main character of Ibsen’s novel ‘Doll house’, Torvald Helmer, and the main character of Hansberry’s novel ‘Raising in the sun’, Walter Lee Younger are from different social situation, both of them encounter similar problems with their families, their wives, and their money. Torvald Helmer is a man with bright future, who has respect of community, and Walter Lee Younger works as a driver for wealthy white people, who just dreams about the opportunity of earning money; but both men actually want the same thing, they want to flush with money their families. As both men earn money for their families, they consider themselves to be ‘heads of the family’. But such patriarchal definition does not work anymore; Walter understands it, and as a result of realizing this truth, he changes into a better man. And Torvald, on the contrary, is unable to comprehend this nude fact.
The goods are overpriced, which forces the two cent earning workers to buy from them or waste precious fuel by driving to town and returns their paycheck to the landowner. Not only are the big landowners just greedy about driving wages down or getting it back, when they have an excess amount of product they burn it. [448] They do not feed the starving, or help the sick, or aid the dying. They are too greedy, the landowners need to keep the circle of wealth around them. With the excess food their workers are not hungry, and will demand higher wages.
The color yellow is significant in the book; it symbolizes wealth and illness. Along time ago, Daisy left Gatsby because Gatsby was poor. So Gatsby gained his fortune by “bootlegging” (Fitzgerald 114) or dealings with crime. Accordingly to the “American Dream”, money should be earned through hard work and be a reward for honesty. Gatsby used to be very poor and always wanted to be rich.
In our search for the man behind the money, we travel far back in time to Kane’s childhood. In a discovery of an arrangement between his mother and a banker, we understand the immediate value that monetary gain has upon these characters. This increase in finances prompts Kane’s mother to send him away from his home to live in a place of entitlement. Interestingly, the sudden appearance of money in the Foster family is due to the natural land around them; without taking from the natural landscape in mining, they wouldn’t have had money as a foundation to create the cyclical aspect we see to Kane’s life. The theme of Kane’s gain of entitlement is woven through his abuse of Nature in the film in multiple fashions; Kane’s companies consist of grocery stores, paper mills, apartment buildings, factories, forests, ocean liners, Colorado Mine Co. (the third wealthiest gold mine in the country), and, of course, the newspapers.
Dreaming is what America is all about; the beautiful houses, the wealth, the power to control things at your fingertips. Anything you can dream of you can obtain. Although, obtaining a wealthy dream can be a life of hard work and poverty—depending on what you want— it will eventually pay off to finally accomplish what is desired. “My own house was an eye-sore, but it was a small eye-sore and it had been over look, so I had a view of the water, a partial view of my neighbor’s lawn and the consoling proximity of millionaires—all for eighty dollars a month.” (10) The Great Gatsby Essentially, the “dream” is in my view a state of mind in which you feel comfortable and content in. It is a reassurance that you have begun and finished what you set out to offer to yourself.
