Fall In Love Tax Bracket
1,717 words
Death should not be a taxable event. There is a
strong belief that if you work a lifetime to build
up a family business or build up a family farm,
that it is wrong for your children when you die to
have to sell that business or sell that farm to
give government up to 55 cents out of every dollar
worth of your lifes work even though you paid
taxes on every penny of income when you earned it.
In this bill, we change the tax law so that death
is not a taxable event. So if your Granddad bought

Goodman Browns Religious Faith
776 words
Take up the shield of faith, with which you can
extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one
(Ephesians 6: 16). Goodman Brown did not have
faith. He did not have religious faith nor faith
in his fellow human beings in Salem. And because
he didnt have faith he was became vulnerable to
the flaming arrows of the evil one. Goodman Brown
like all of us has battles against the devil over
our guilt, our sins, and our fears. And it is up
to us to decide whether we will stand up to our
demons or to ...

Years Of Age Beginning Of The Play
2,549 words
The play, ? Crimes of the Heart, ? written by Beth
Henley, is brilliantly charming, and Henley is
completely deserving of her Pulitzer-Prize for
this piece. My mother suggested I read this play
because she says that I am very much like one of
the main characters Lenny Magrath, and she said
that I would be able to relate to many parts of
the story. I found that the beginning of the play
was somewhat slow and not very uplifting, but as
the play progressed, I found it to be
heart-warming, intriguin...

Miss Emily Grierson Royal Air Force
1,419 words
William Faulkner s A Rose for Emily has been
interpreted in many different ways. Most of these

believe that his life can also help one analyze
this story. By knowing that Faulkner s strongest
influence was his independent mother, one can
guess that Miss Emily Grierson s character was
based partly on Maud Falkner. William Cuthbert
Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi on
September 25, 1897. His family moved to Oxford,
Mississippi when Faulkner...
