person in our lives that give us inspiration, hope
and keep our spirits up. Roles models help us in
our difficult times that we may have, by giving us
words of wisdom that will help us get through our
difficult times. We might wonder if we really

ter> Blasting out Music to Drown Out Reality
The essay I read suggested that people
of low intelligence / class (i. e. teenagers) use
junk music to try and drown out their supposedly
harsh reality. The author also suggests that the
more intelligent people in the world do not listen
to loud music because the decibel level at which
you listen to music somehow indicates your
intelligence. I cannot agree with that statement
because I have talked to my friends and
acquaintances and they tol...

because of the punishment I will face than the

Love And Hate Racial Hatred
1,031 words
Love and Hate Emotions are the strongest feelings
that come to life through our highest highs and
our lowest lows. The two most extreme emotions
known to man are love and hate. As experience has
taught me, Love conquers all. With love, you can
do anything. The power of love is stronger than
hate because love gets you where you want to go
and hate only brings pain and sorrow in its wake.
When we begin to read Wuthering Heights, we begin
to realize that the story is built around love.

the English gentry by pointing out the flaws of
her characters, which are representative of the
class. Mary Musgrove, daughter of Sir Walter,
sister of Anne, and wife of Charles personifies
these flaws, and is thus the object of Austen s
contempt. Through tone, comparison with Anne,
syntax, and irony, Austen portrays Mary as a
self-absorbed, uneducated, mean, self-pitying
person. Austen s biting tone towards Mary and Mary
