colonial political ideals, aggravated by
parliamentary taxation, escalated by the

ignited by British military measures. England had

It is a warm summers day; the heat rises from the
pavement as the roar of engines and smell of
gasoline surround you. With a throaty growl the
first car pulls up to the line on the drag strip
in front of you. Its large V- 8 pounds as it pulls
up to the starting mark. An annoying whine
announces the challenger, a smaller car covered in
decals and brand names. Its four cylinders hum as
it stops, ready to go. The light flashes green and
both cars jump into action. As the front wheels

Young Adults Young Person
887 words
Few parents today realize the need to change the
way they deal with children as they grow up. Even
the most caring adults frequently misunderstand
teenagers. This isnt due to a lack of effort; it
has more to do with inaccurate stereotypes and
portrayals of teenagers. The word teenager, for an
instance, brings up an image of a rebellious,
outrageously dressed, young person who loves to
party, listen to annoying music and watch MTV.
Teenagers are often very complex, but they are
also not impossibl...

Fast Food Restaurant Taco Bell

products to consumers is due to the change in our
society to where the consumer wants the biggest,

the speaker, standing before an ancient Grecian
