Waste Of Time Due To The Fact
339 words
Schools are out for the summer. There are no more
teachers and no more books. Students are ready for
two months of summer fun. Going to the beach and
hanging out with friends is what summer is all
about. Nowhere in that itinerary does it include
reading a book and completing a project. With all
the activities going on there is no time to read,
let alone finish a project. I find myself
procrastinating until the last possible second. By
the time I even pick up the book summer is over
and the proje...

Coming Times World Change Crises

Our ancient habit is to stumble backwards into the
future. We feel that we as individuals make little
difference, as if history and the future just
happen at us. Obscure plans, which have guided
people forward in the past, have now rendered
themselves useless. There are no known maps to
show pathways into the future. We " ll need to
consider back to our hearts, common sense and
basic human capabilities. We " ll need to consider
the deep issues at stake and make deep choices
about them. This idea...

Arch Street Theater John Wilkes Booth Actor

the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. This period
of his life is often forgotten or overlooked. The

Punishment Should Be Abolished Sentenced To Death
1,103 words
Capital Punishment Should be Abolished Evidence
suggests that the death penalty does not deter
people from committing crimes. It is a cruel and
cold blooded form of punishment and there have
been instances where innocent people were
sentenced to death and later found to be innocent.
The most common methods of execution are hanging
and shooting. Countries like the U. S. use
electrocution, gas chambers and lethal injections
to dispose of the convicted. Some countries, like
the U. S. , have tried t...

13 Th Century One Room

room structure with a loft ceiling, the hall was
sometimes on the 1 st floor, but sometimes it was
raised to the second story for greater security.
Early halls were ailed like a church, with rows of
wooden posts or stone pillars supporting the

Joy Luck Club Fall In Love

Chinese Culture vs. American Culture Chinese and
Americans are very different, right? The Chinese
believe that the family is more important than the
Individual. Americans dont conform to the family,
but do we not all try to fit into a social group
or other group? Are we really that different from
the Chinese? In traditional Chinese culture, women
are subservient to men, ancestors are worshipped,
and baby males are precious while baby girls are a
burden. These ideals were true of people living

The room was small and dark. The air was humid and
had a stale, musty smell to it. You would think
that the building should have been condemned and
abandoned long ago. The door, hanging loosely on
two rusty hinges, could barely be opened enough to
let a person pass. The floor was littered with
junk ranging from filthy socks that stood
unsupported, to half a pizza that was far beyond
edible. A small trail was snaking its way across

Cruel Punishment People Punished
745 words
The Cruel Punishment Cruel Punishment The common
practice of early Americans that seems most alien
to me is that of human punishment. During the
seventeen and eighteen hundreds, the way people
were punished was savage and crucial. Those who
punished others for a crime, seemed to take
matters in there own hands and give punishments
that were truly too harsh compared to the crime
committed. One of the areas in which such
punishment was greatly visible was in the slave
institutes. Masters would tre...

Stop For Death Nova Scotia
818 words
Death is a common theme in many poems. It is
viewed so differently to everyone. In the poems,
Because I could not stop for Death, First Death in
Nova Scotia, and War is kind death is presented by
each narrator as something different. To one it is
a kind gentle stranger while to another it is a
cold cruel being. A kind gentleman stranger
personifies death in, Because I could not stop for
Death. The narrator of the poem is a busy person,
with little time, and definitely no time to die.
