Characters Enemy Book
429 wordsJohn Marsden's A Killing Frost passes all three of my tests (and please forgive my purposefully hazy focus on "good writing", but I must have some quirks as a book reviewer! ).

Beginning Line Medea Jason
535 wordsI oppose the motion that "Medea is a 'monster not a woman'" because she is a woman betrayed by her love. I think that although some of her actions may be called erratic, they are overall justifiable.

Part Of Life Rest Of The World
1,314 wordsPrejudice is an irremovable aspect of human life that can be caused by almost any kind of experience because it is spawned by the very freedom of thought that mankind covets above all else.

Prejudice is also spawned by such things as the races we are born into, and among many other reasons, our religious affiliation.
