Drinking And Driving R J
607 wordsRecently in my Driver Education Class, I watched several videotapes dealing with the serious subject of drunk driving. After watching these tapes, I would like to recommend the one story that I consider the best. I would like everyone who drives a car to see it. I think the story about Bruce Kimble, entitled The Aftermath is the best one on the videotapes because of its strong emotional impact. It shows how innocent people suffer from the actions of a drunk driver. In this videotape, former Olym...

Harsh Realities African Americans
1,004 wordsTo most of the critics, the most important aspect of the whole book is the authors description of Harlem's utterly violent culture, the culture that coerced kids in the very young age to become gang members and earn money for living with robberies and assaults. There were many incidents in the book when the author described 8 - 9 year old African American kids that were armed with homemade guns, zip guns and knives, which was certainly impossible in any white district of New York. No wonder Harl...

Romantic Suspense Classic Mystery Detective
660 wordsEssay on Mystery The classic mystery story contains many key parts, and some of these are present in my novel, while some are not. I think the major and most important similarity between mine and that of a classic is the fact that they both deal with murder. Homicide. Assassinations. The ole bump-off. Killing. Manslaughter. Anyway you look at it, both my novel and most novels from the Hounds of Baskerville to Murder on the Orient Express. My novel deals with this murder in a more dramatic sense,...
