    2) The wilderness journey of the Israelites in the Bible

    3) Henry Hill's development in "Good Fellas" (movie)

    4) Tommy Conlan's relationship to his older brother and father in "Warrior" (movie)

    5) MLK's responses to the 7 ministers' critique in his opening 3 paragraphs from the Letter from a Birmingham Jail


    CLAIM: Baca's claim is valid because excessive consumerism can ignore deeply-rooted character flaws.


    BEGINNING OF CONTEXT: For example, consider the career trajectory of Mike Tyson, beginning from his unprecedented beginnings, to his first championship, then his jail term, and finally, his disgraceful "Bite Fight" against Evander Holyfield.

We would much rather talk about a new car than talk about a story that happened between grandfather and me. We’d much rather get on the computer and play video games and enact some cataclysmic epic than to talk about the epics in our own lives.”


    Write an essay that argues your position on the extent to which Baca’s claim about the value of possessions is valid.
