Stock Issues

Stock issue 1: Granting students, faculty, and staff the right to carry guns is very risky for the environment. This legislation would not evoke safety but danger, because it is like handing a gun to a criminal with your eyes closed.

Stock issue 2: I believed that my proposed solution in creating tests, and making background check and payments to take these exams would discourage people from carrying guns. Even to those who are a threat to society would not run the risk of taking these exams, since they would be investigated by authorities.

Stock issue 3: There is no simpler way to solve this problem because crucial tasks need to be taken. Carrying a gun is a serious issue that is frightening to every individual and it is hard to find the right person to carry such a weapon. Short cuts to this situation, just makes it riskier to handle.

Stock 4: This proposal is practical and very time consuming. Any person would rather be safe than sorry and part of that is making sure they do not become victims of a school shooting. This method will lower substantially the crime rates at schools and monitor the criminals in society.

Stock 5: The unforeseen positive and negative affects to this proposal could vary. The positive effect could be that if a large number of people in the environment, not only schools, carry guns it could reduce the number of crime rates. In this case, criminals would not attempt to attack an individual because they are also armed and can fatally hurt them. The negative affect is that there is always a loop hole to the situation. A person can always master a plan that could destroy the proposal and influence other individuals, which would make the environment even more dangerous than it already is.

"Arizona Weighs Bill to Allow guns on Campus" by, Randal C. Archibold

In the article “Arizona Weighs Bill to Allow guns on Campus”, written by Randal C. Archibold, State Sen. Karen S. Johnson is supporting a bill that permits guns on school and college campuses. 15 states have already considered the legislation in giving students, faculty, and staff the right to bare arms in schools and college campuses. But these rights are limited to the ages of 21 and older.

Passing this bill would higher the risk of more violence in the environment and encourages a dependency on guns. Thus, if people are granted the right to possess a gun on school grounds , then they already know how to use it and should take various tests that would evaluate his/her personality. Anyone can be a criminal without knowing and if not they should experienced gun men. Also, various background checks are essential in order to see if that person has a criminal record or not. Once people met these qualifications, they would be weight listed until there has been enough information about that person who wishes to carry a gun.

Any person who can carry a gun is a delicate issue. So when people go through these careful examinations, it would not be costly for the institution who provide it but for the person who wants it. Hence, the individual would have to pay for these examinations plus their permit to carry a gun on school grounds and their permit to carry a gun. In this case, this would make it a lot more difficult for the individual to carry or own a gun. As a result, there will be a lower risk of criminal threats in the academic environment.

"Let it Enfold You" by Charles Bukowski

Implicit Argument: It does not look like an argument, but persuades the audience at a certain point of view. Charles Bukowski, for example, uses implicit argument in his poem "Let it Enfold You" by expressing emotions and symbolism which make the implicit arguments more obvious.

The title of Bukowski's poem "Let it Enfold You" is an implicit argument. Thus the title means whatever good or bad comes in your way, you should embrace it and in return accept it. Bukowski, of course, elaborates a lot more about the title through out the poem but he catches the readers attention at the beginning of the poem as uses a "hook" to catch the readers attention. He began the poem by saying " either peace or happiness let it enfold you" which also engaged the readers into his poem.
The first part of his poem, he talks about his negative personality and about his hatred towards everything in life. His attitude then mellows out when he comes to realize life's details and along with people's personalities. He mentions:

"I wasn't different from the others,
I was the same, they were fulsome
with hatred"

At this point in the poem he begins to realize that he was not the only person in this world who hated everything. Other people were just as bad as he was and their ugly personalities mirrored his personality which kind of gave him a reality check. He mentioned people as "fulsome with hatred glossed over petty grievances".
Around the middle of the poem Bukowski opens up into a more positive person. This is how he expresses his change:

"I re-formulated I dont know
when, dark time all that
but the change occurred
something in me relaxed,
smoothed out."

Like he said, he "re-formulated" into a happier person and it is the only time he feels at ease when he said "relaxed, smoothed out". Other things also began to comfort him like:

"... coffee cups
lined up behind a counter in a
cafe...or the way the mouse
on my dresser stopped there
with its body, its ears, its nose...
a bit of life caught me within itself
and its eyes looked at me and
they were beautiful."

In this part of the poem he began to notice and enjoy life's simplicities. The way he observes the coffee cups in the counter and the mouses physical appearance were all considered beautiful in his eyes. He felt closer to life other than battling life everyday.
After he realized his hatefulness towards everything was an absolute wast of time he finally admitted:

"I no longer has to prove
that I was a man, I
didn't have to prove anything..."

These lines tell the reader that at some point he thought he was unique by going against everything that ordinary person usually went for. Going against everything, to him, was a manly attempt because he did not see himself as part of the crowd. But now he feels that it does not matter what kind of person he is or what he is turning into because he is finally accepting himself as a person. He is also accepting happiness which had saved his life when he attempt to commit suicide:

"The Knife got near my throat
I almost turned on the gas
again but when the good
moments arrived again...
I let them take me
I luxuriated in them,
I bade them welcome."

In other words, the writer wanted to kill himself but at the same time he cant because he knows that there is more in life then just hate and vulgarity. When he said " the good moments arrived again " he reminded himself why he was still living, because he had the opportunity to enjoy a part of the world he is still trying to get acquainted too.
Towards the end of the Poem Bukowski mentions his wife. He said:

"I finally discovered real
feelings for others...I saw
my wife in bed...I kissed
her in the forehead."

In this part of the poem Bukowski is showing is love for his wife and appreciating her presence other than sex. The fact that he is expressing his love for her is another big symbol in this poem because it is something that is conquering his emotions and succeeding.

The end of the poem the he leaves his home and "entered the world once more" meaning that he was ready had to face the world another day, another step. A place where he has to overcome his obstacle and face what he once thought of as a trivial planet.
