Vietnam War Air Strikes
1,235 words
Most people in our society think of the Vietnam
War as a tragedy, or a negative time in our
history that was later viewed as a misstep. These
comments are true and most-certainly conventional.
However, does the average person realize how large
of an impact it had on the men who fought? When
questioned on the Vietnam War, it can be rightly
assumed that many Americans would know that it
lasted over a decade. Maybe even a few would know
that over 14, 000 U. S. troops were killed in
1968, alone, (Ap...

One Of His Teammates Cow Manure Friend

I once knew a man who told me one of the funniest
stories I had ever heard. He was a boy scout, and
the troupe was on a camping trip when the incident
happened. See, he was one of those guys who lacked
common sense and this played a major role in this
story. The episode all began when night fell on
the camp. The guys were setting up to play a game
called manhunt. This game was similar to hide and
seek but was different in that there was a jail,
and in order to capture someone, he or she had to
b...

Finally, 5: 00 out of work! I start towards my car
and I think about finally getting home. I cant
wait to get in the cool air conditioning and away
from all my annoying co-workers. I open my car
door, jump in, turn on my music full blast, and
start driving away. I decided take a different way

song comes on the radio and I begin to sing. All

feeling how it was going to end up; I just hoped
that I would be wrong. Unfortunately the one time
I didn't want to be right I was. Isn't that the

Saturday nights usually involve some sort of
stress relief for most college students. One
Saturday, like many others involved some drinking
to cope with college life. But, unlike other
Saturdays this one ended with my roommate, Jeff,
in the hospital and me with a two hundred and

Hundred Dollars One Hundred
611 words
Racing, to me, is just the outward display of
whose car is faster than the other guys. It is not
a sport. It is not game. It is just immaturity on
wheels. Now of course, many people will put a lot
of work, money, and time into making their car
faster than the next guys, but why? There is no
product to show for all of your hard work but a
glove-box full of speeding tickets, an engine that
will need to be replaced soon, and tires that have
already been replaced ten times. Hopefully, you
will soon ...

Time Of Year Big Brothers

Most people only know what farms are like by what
they see on television or as they watch from the
highway, passing by to visit a grandparent. I know
farm life first-hand by that irritating dust on
the back of my neck and barley beards in my hair.
I know it by that crunch on my feet, those wheat
stubs trying desperately to poke through the soles
in my tennis shoes. I have been there to climb
inside those bins to make an attempt to sweep up
every kernel of corn from the cracks and crevasses

Despite surface differences in Jeanette's
Winterson's Disappearance, and Welcome To The
Monkey House by Kurt Vonnegut, both authors have
created stories with pointed commentary at the
worlds progression into the future... Both stories
are set in a futuristic society that has abandoned
human needs (sex and sleep) in order to benefit
what the mass thinks of as the greater good.
Through the plot sequences and characters used
both authors have established a common theme with

Three Years 17 Years

My friend once told me, life is like a book, each
page has a new content. This quote pertains to my
adventurous 17 years of life. Throughout these
adventurous 17 years, there were many times when I
had to make my own decisions. Some of those
decisions were morally correct, while others were
followed by negative consequences. Yet, there was
a time when it took me three years to conceive if
my decision was right or wrong. After I analyzed
my decision, I learned something very important.

Opened The Door Urban Legends

that have a wide audience, have circulated
spontaneously, and have been told in several
different forms. Many have chosen to believe these
stories despite the lack of actual evidence to
substantiate the story (Urban). What makes an
Urban Legend is how it is told. This depends on
whether the story is being told in first, second,
or third person. Most of the time the real event
happened to someone entirely unknown to the person
telling the story (U...

Todays Society Teenage Girls

An Issue of Self-Respect Being a Christian has
changed my perspective on the value of my body.
Since becoming a Christian I have had a hard time
understanding why or how a girl could belittle
herself by so freely giving her body to someone
else. Growing up in Philadelphia, I witness this
in many different ways. Whether it is a prostitute
standing on the corner, or a good friend that
sleeps around, the lack of respect these women
have for themselves is very visible, and very sad.

Native American Tribes Male Or Female
1,108 words
In all aspects of every society, gender identity
must be established. It is at birth when an infant
(person) is given either a male or female
identity. Once the parents have been told, it is
then that society will set the example and
attitudes for that given gender. Gender includes a
broad spectrum of attitudes, behaviors, and social
expectations that we acquire during our lifetimes,
through interactions with one another and
experiences in various environments (Renzetti, p.
41). We will ultimate...
