Senior Citizens Young Drivers
890 words
People look at me and think I am a terrible driver
just because I am young. However the reality is I
am a fine driver. It is a common misconception
that teenagers are "bad" drivers; in my experience
I have found that it's not only teenagers that are
terrible drivers. I think people point to
teenagers only because they need a collection of
drivers to blame and they choose the beginners.
When I look at senior citizens, young drivers
(between the ages of 15 - 25, teenagers included),
and middle age...

Falling In Love Fall In Love
1,066 words
Many have tried to buy it, many have tried to sell
it, and many have tried to steal it. Unfortunately
many believe that the easiest way to find love
really is the hardest. I believe that some people
are just too lazy. Love will not just appear in
front of your face one day. It has to be earned
and shared by two people wanting the same things.
(Maybe not all the same things, but most. ) And,
of course, there's the whole "love at first sight"
legend that people seem to believe in. However, to
love...

De Lacey Family Family Relationships
1,268 words
Comparative Essay To my mind, Frankenstein and
Small World are the stories which were designed to
turn our attention to the problems of family
relationships, to the feelings of love and care
that should be at the heart of every family.
Unfortunately, people living in 19 th and 20 th
centuries disregard the holy essentials of a
family and very seldom they are aware of the
severe punishment that inevitably comes
afterwards. The story of Frankenstein was written
in the 19 th century and I think tha...

What would the world be like if everyone was
normal and everyone followed the rules? There

solid tumor that the doctors guessed was the size
of a softball. The doctors planned to remove the
tumor, but they knew Jack would soon die. The
cancer had now spread out of control. Jack, about
28, was in constant pain, and his doctor had

Put To Death Due To The Fact
575 words
More money is spent executing humans than keeping
them in a penitentiary for life. Compared to
capital punishment, life in prison is far worse.
Mistakes may be made and no one can bring another
human back to life. Juries are often white and
this may lead to racial decisions. Of the 144
executions since the 1976 reinstatement of the
death penalty in the U. S. , not one white person
has been executed for killing a black. Of the 16,
000 executions in U. S. history, only 30 cases
involved a white se...

Racism is a part of each and every one of us. No
doubt, we are all racist, but this term racism has

such an extent that it could be a reason for war,
a symbol of terrorism, and even an excuse for
neglecting. Is that all there is to it? No,
actually it is just the beginning. Racism is just
like warfare in which there is no shelter and
nobody is neutral. ...
