Third Person Limited Story Takes Place
704 words
In the Call of the Wild, the author tells a story
of a dog whose name is Buck. We follow buck
through his adventures in the Klondike. He
experiences a transformation as he adapts to the
cold temperatures, the heavy sled behind him, and
the savageness of the other dogs. By the end of
the story Buck is a completely different dog. The
main message of the book was probably to never
count on where you are now in life, because things
change. The author presents this by using Buck as
a Symbol of a huma...

School District High Tech

Over the past ten years billions of dollars have
been spent on computers for our nations schools.
The goal was to improve and update our educational
system but there is very little evidence of change
through the years and taxpayers that have been
paying for these upgrades in the schools want to
know where the payoff is. A small Bridge school
district in Mckittrick, California was proud to be
the first and only in the state to provide every
student with two Apple In computers, one for

Steering Wheel Speed Limit
458 words
Drivers In the road of life there are many kinds
of drivers. Some pleasant and peaceful others seem
as though on a war path. Driving is the most
common way of transportation and is used daily by
most Americans. As much time as we spend on the
road we all experience the different types of
drivers. I have categorized the three The first
type of driver is the "speed demon." Often in a

every car. When a plane breaks the sound barrier

Paying Attention Rush Hour

Driving to work with my windows down, moon roof
open and the thumping sound of Nate Dogs music
ringing in my ear, I was having a fine morning.
Even though I knew Saturday mornings get busy I
figured I would get through it happily. Many
people are rude in their own ways and restaurant
employees have to learn how to deal with them. As
I got ready for work I didnt realize that I would
be getting the most awful customer in all of my
years working at Subway. I tried giving superior

Oregon Trail Gold Rush
1,781 words
California has always been associated with cutting
edge development and ideas. For over a century and
a half it has been the leader of what the rest of
the country follows. No single event has been as
groundbreaking (literally and metaphorically) as
the Gold Rush of 1849. This historic event
single-handedly connected the East to the West in
what proved to be the perfect model of expansion.
It was what brought hundreds of thousands of
Americans and immigrants alike to the fast-paced,
ever-changin...

First Degree Murder Amount Of Violent

What act by the United States government kills
almost a hundred people every year? The United
States Department of Justice legally executes
criminals who commit certain crimes. The crimes
for which a person can be executed for are named
Capital offenses, thus the name Capital
Punishment. The debate over capital punishment

continues today. Many different arguments shine
throughout the debate which I will be reviewing
both sides. Capital punishment h...

Fifteen Minute Ride Walking Through The Garden Train

A ride in New York City's subway is one you will
never forget, or at least I won't. As I walk down
the terminal looking for my track number, I see
the homeless lounging. These less fortunate
individuals are trying to stay warm and catch some
sleep before they are interrupted by a police
officer who kicks them out to return to the cold.

Labor Unions Harmful To The Economy
1,613 words
The Labor Unions of 2003 look nothing like the
original Labor Unions of 1886 created by Samuel
Gompers. Once used to protect people's rights now
is too powerful and is trampling those same rights
that were once protected. Labor Unions, which did
shorten the workweek and workday and improve
working conditions through collective bargaining,
shifted their strategy to politics. Thomas
Jefferson once said that "to compel a man, to
furnish contributions of money for the propagation
of opinions which h...

Kindergarteners should not have homework; first

Church Authorities Young Boys

Alone in his room the priest would mastermind his
hunt. He would examine his conscious as he looked
in the mirror. He admires his body and hungers for
it to be touched by a young boys hand. He is
reminded of his vow of celibacy but knows it does
not work for him or for most of his peers. Many of
them share stories of their affairs with the
outside world and the temptations they confront
daily. Few, however, speak about crossing the line
by submitting to their carnal desires. At the

Life Without Parole Cruel And Unusual Punishment
1,753 words
The topic I chose for my research paper is Capital
punishment. I chose this topic because I think
Capital punishment should be banned in all states.
The death penalty violates religious beliefs about
killing, remains unfair to minorities and is
therefore unconstitutional, and is inhumane and
barbaric. The death penalty constitutes cruel and
unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth and
Fourteenth Amendments (Bedau 2). Those who had
shown no respect for life would be restrained,
permanently i...

Jack London White Fang
1,508 words
The idea of peaceful rebellion through nature is
the basis for many books. Kipling was one of the
first one to do it through many of his novels, but
Jack London got a lot deeper into that concept. He
was born in 1876 in San Francisco, an illegitimate
child born to a single woman, but his mother did
marry a man named John London, and named her son
John London. This family moved a lot, but ended up
in San Francisco again where John London, now
known as Jack London worked in the bay patrol.

in many ways. She grew up in a time where womens
roles where changing in society. She spent most of
her life in New York City and most of her stories

Civil Rights Movement Theme For English B
822 words
Langston Hughes (1902 - 1967) absorbed America. In
doing so, he wrote about many issues critical to
his time period, including The Renaissance, The
Depression, World War II, the civil rights
movement, the Black Power movement, Jazz, Blues,
and Spirituality. Just as Hughes absorbed America,
America absorbed the black poet in just about the
only way its mindset allowed it to: by absorbing a
black writer with all of the patronizing
self-consciousness that that entails. The

Anorexia Nervosa Bulimia Nervosa

Starving for Acceptance In today s society, where
physical characteristics are used to measure
beauty and success, people are willing to push
their bodies to extremes to achieve physical
perfection. As an overweight woman, I may be
considered a failure of society s beauty test.
However, my high self-esteem and acceptance of my
body allows me to not be disturbed by what, to
some, may seem as a sign of failure.
Unfortunately, there are people whose desire to be
accepted by society causes them to d...
