Back To School People Thought
851 wordsDuring all of high school, I seemed as if I were hiding behind a mask. When I was at home I was a totally different person.

I would always have to change my mode when different people were ar...

Biff And Happy Death Of A Salesman

Gods And Goddesses True Meaning

Britt Describes Sloppy People Neat
419 wordsIn Suzanne Britt s essay Neat People vs. Sloppy People, she carefully and humorously compares the two kinds of individuals. I personally enjoyed her interpretations very much. In her opinion, the variation was not merely the differences in preferences in cleanliness, but in morality. She states, Neat people are lazier and meaner than sloppy people. This is a bold statement, assuming that all neat people are lazy and mean, when some may beg to differ. Others consider sloppy people to be the lazy ...

Rip Van Winkle Moral Of The Story
257 wordsRip Van Winkle is an interesting folk tale that tells the story of a lazy man who minded his own business. Many have heard the tale before, but few have actually read it. In my opinion the story is meant to be heard and not read. I think that is was written for the middle class, many of whom could not read any way. Hearing the story is much more effective than reading it. If you listen to the story, the storyteller can use tone and other speaking devices to set the scene and get the moral of the...
