lifestyle for greater numbers of people to
maintain non-marital households. One of the most
widespread lifestyle trends among non-marital
households is that of cohabitation. By definition

Turned My Back Mate For Life Goose
877 words
I had just divorced my third wife, Cherie. She was
a plain woman with almost no outstanding
characteristics about her at all. I married her
because she was quite different from my first two
wives and because I didnt want to grow old alone.
Also, I couldnt cook. Cherie could cook, however,
all of her dishes were very plain. This should not
have surprised me. I stood along the riverbank
behind my house and reflected on my marriages. It
was early November, 1985. The Canada geese always

Albert Einstein Mileva Maric One

Einstein. The name itself seems to bring a vision,
in modern times, of a little man carelessly clad
in baggy pants with disordered halo of white hair
and soulful brown eyes. Though the physical
description of Einstein might not seem genius
material, Einstein was a modern Merlin. Albert
Einstein conjured and revolutionized ideas of
space, time and motion. Scientists idolize Albert
Einstein for he is most eminent among them, at
least in this century. In person he was childlike.
But as a man of sci...

Myths And Legends Double Standards
1,380 words
Throughout the ages myths, legends and fairytales
have been used to teach people basic moral and
educational lessons. For example, mothers and
fathers use the childhood story of Goldilocks and
the Three Bears to teach their children that
stealing and snooping is wrong. In the end,
Goldilocks was either eaten or she ran away,
depending on your bloodthirsty nature. By using
this comparison between myths and reality the
Romans were able to control their women, and to

laws, women are continually being mistreated when
dealing with the issues of divorce. In biblical
times, there were no assurances that women would
be protected when faced with a man who wanted a
divorce. Furthermore, women were not allowed to
initiate the process by asking for one. As time
went on, it was recognized that women needed to be
somewhat shielded from actions that her husband
could take, which she had no control over.
