Blood Red Young Girl

Dominique and Her Determination for Identity
"Dominique" is a compelling essay that takes the
clich's "the clothes don't make the man, "you
can't judge a book by its cover, " and "you only
get one chance to make a first impression" to a
new perspective. Lisa Hay, author of "Dominique, "
recognizes a young girl's struggle to create a
life for herself by dressing and acting out
different roles. By doing this, Dominique is
living up to the clich's that people -- - usually
-- - try so hard to avoid....

... feed. " (Amaral 23) For instance, in 1880,
only 520 acres of hay were cut in the entire
state. Horses and cattle simply roamed and many
were never claimed in the annual roundups.
Ranchers even turned horses out during periods of
drought, when they had little of no feed. The
horses would then range for feed, and eventually
join together to form bands. As long as horses
were loosely ranged they were constant attractions
to the wild herds. A rancher named Wilkinson
turned out fifteen hundred ma...

be good, and some may be bad. However, one thing
always remains constant, personalities are not
permanent. For example, if there is a person who
has a bad temperament and is under the influence
of a good person, then their personality may
change. As is the situation in Walk Well, My
Brother, by Farley Mowat. The protagonist Charlie

Deals With The Properties Plane Geometry Elements
366 words
Little is know about Euclid, the father of
geometry. Records show that he lived somewhere
around 300 B. C. He was a Greek mathematician and
is probably best known for his work Elements.
Since little is known about the personal life of
Euclid, it is difficult to do a biography on him.
His chief work, entitled Elements, is a
comprehensive essay on mathematics. It includes 13
volumes that entail such subjects as plane
geometry, dealing with the properties of flat

Ernest Hemingway was born on a July morning in
1899. Born at home in Oak Park, he was raised a
conservative with strong values. While his father
taught him to hunt and fish, his mother taught him
music, her former profession. Though his mothers
music lessons helped him throughout his life, he
didnt particularly enjoy the lessons and spent as
much time in the woods as he could manage. Nature
became Hemingway's world, the place where he could
go and pull from it the essence of his writing. No

Type Of Person Ideal Hero
714 words
Hero: one who goes beyond the call of duty, acts
wisely under pressure, risks their life, fortune,
or reputation, and champions a good cause. These
definitions all fit that of a heros. However, in
my opinion, a person most definitely does not need
to do everything listed above to qualify as a
hero. As I see it, the three qualifications of a
hero are courage, sacrifice, and leadership. A
definite sign of a hero is courage. One who does
not cower in the face of danger is often given
this title. Te...
