From the Paper
"This essay written by the well-known David Foster Wallace brings to light many things that are taken for granted. Wallace uses his typical style to create an essay based on razor sharp wit and dry sarcasm. He sprinkles the essay with things that are supposed to be fun but in reality are not fun at all. "I have seen sucrose beaches and water a very bright blue. I have seen an all-red leisure suit with flared lapels. I have smelled what suntan lotion smells like spread over 21,000 pounds of hot flesh (Wallace, 1998)."

Abstract
This collection of essays is written to gain admission to the MBA program at the University of Maryland. The first essay is a personal history. The writer is from Taiwan, with an undergraduate degree in finance and information systems. The second essay is on leadership, and how leaders need seemingly contradictory set of characteristics. They need to be compassionate and understanding, open minded and flexible; yet at the same time have a strong character and operate without concern for popularity. The third essay explains what the writer would do if given financial security. The writer states that since he feels he already has financial security, he would look for a job that allows him to travel. The fourth essay discusses the writer's volunteer work, and how he used his skills in finance to help with organization. The last essay speaks about why the writer feels he should be admitted to the university, and how his skills and life experience make him suited to the program.
From the Paper
"To prepare to open my own firm in the global marketplace, I will need to do more than simply learn about the technical aspects of the business world. Global trends and problems inextricably affect large-scale businesses. For instance, the global business community must take responsibility for reconciling financial interests with human rights, especially given the exploited workers worldwide. I see my background as a volunteer as an aid in maintaining that insight and moral compass."

Abstract
This paper examines the differences between two travel essays - "A Vocabulary for My Senses" by Timothy Bascom and "By the Big Sea Water" by William Least Heat-Moon. The writer explains that in the essay "By the Big Sea Water" Heat-Moon makes it alive, interesting and emotional because of the connections he sets up with the memories and feelings of a little boy. The writer further explains that the travel story told by Timothy Bascom in "A Vocabulary for My Senses" is very different. The writer notes how (in this essay) memories on their own would be interesting, as the physical details are rich and exotic, and vividly remembered, but the emotional side is also very rich, and makes the "travel story" that much more memorable and interesting. The writer then describes a personal travel experience and its lasting impression and effects on the writer.
From the Paper
"In "By the Big Sea Water," William Least Heat-Moon writes a wonderful story that is part travel story, part nostalgia trip. He brilliantly evokes the nostalgia of a boy traveling with his father, seeing Lake Superior from this perspective. Obviously a lot of the importance of this trip for the boy was connected to the fact that he was with his father. This is clear from the fact that the father is physically present for us. For example, the little boy remembers his father in the wobbly cafe of long ago."
