Living only a few miles from the great Atlantic
Ocean, the beach is a place where I have spent
many days of my life. I have watched tremendous
storms with powerful surf and fierce winds eat
away the shoreline. But, to society there is no
cost comparable to beach's pleasures. It seems in
the 1990 s everyone wants that exclusive ocean
view, but few realize the potential costs in
lives, money, and property. And the ultimate cost
of such coastal development, experts say, is the
beach itself. (Warren...

Telling The Truth Play The Crucible

Power can take many different forms and meanings
in life. Often times, people have more power than
could be imagined. Going against such people can
result in them showing what they are truly capable
of, whether it be hurting someone directly or
manipulating others against him or her; it is
dangerous to underestimate those who felt they
have been wronged. In Arthur Millers play, The
Crucible, a great example of this is displayed.
The character of Abigail Williams holds more power

identity. John Proctor fulfills the requirements
of this type of hero by his acti...
