Argumentative Essay On Parent Trap

Improved Essays
Have you seen the movie Parent Trap? If my reader has seen this movie this paper will sound familiar to the film. I have an identical sister and I would like my reader to have a better understanding of how it feels to be an identical twin. In this essay, I plan to describe how it is to be an identical twin. Katie and I were born three minutes apart on December 16th, 1996. Since that day I have had a best friend and someone who tells me the truth no matter what the situation is. It is always nice to know that someone will be there for you through everything and love just the same. Throughout school we were each other’s best friend so we both had someone always there. From getting our licenses to getting our ears pierced together I was always a little less scared to do things throughout my life. She has helped shape who I am today and I have done the same for her. People lose people out of their lives every day and I know that would never be the case with my sister. I think being identical and being only three minutes apart gives us a stronger bond …show more content…
Some people might think that being an identical twin would be the worst thing for them, but it has been the best thing for me. Having someone by your side through all the bad and good times is one of the best feelings a person could have. Katie is my best friend and she has been throughout my life without me noticing it sometimes. She brought my beautiful niece into this world and I could not thank her enough for bringing such joy into my life. We have an unbreakable bond that will be there for the rest of our lives. “Twins have a special bond. They feel safer with each other than with their peers”. She will be forever be my number one person to go to if I have problems and when I accomplish something great. Yes I have thought that we have read each other’s minds so when twins say that they aren’t

    Steel Magnolias is my favorite movie. This movie reflects the daily lives of six southern women with different personalities and careers. Being a southern girl I could see myself in one of the characters. M'Lynn, Truvy, Annelle, Claree, Shelby and my favorite Ouiser all had a unique personality but are alike in so many ways which is the love they have for their families, one another, and the support for each other during family crisis. They laughed together, cried together and even made jokes about one another but as friends they always made the best out of all obstacles that crossed them rather it was a happy occasion or tragic.…

    In the articles “Three Cheers for the Nanny State,” “Ban the Ban!,” and “Soda’s a Problem but…”, all three authors present their arguments with facts, opinions, and counterclaims. However, one article presents itself better than the rest. I believe that the article “Soda’s a Problem, but...” was the most convincing article. Sarah Conly- the author who wrote “Three Cheers for the Nanny State”- argues that the soda restriction is a good idea because people would be stopped from making foolish decisions that they’ll pretty definitely regret.…

    In my opinion the baby box is a good alternative for mothers who feel they can’t care for a baby. I do agree with some of the points people made about how it could cause issues in the child’s future since they have no record of who their parents are or where they come from, but in the end the children are given a better life and cared for out of love. As for this system being used in the U.S. I think it’s fine as long as it isn’t abused, by that I mean mothers just getting rid of children for no reason. In conclusion I believe that what Pastor Lee is doing is a very good thing, he seems very passionate about it and obviously loves all of the children he takes in. As for baby boxes in America I didn’t learn as much about them from the documentary…

    In today’s society people see celebrities become trapped within their personas all the time. Amanda Bynes, Lindsay Lohan, Justin Bieber and countless other public idols have, seemingly, just gone off the deep end. But this isn’t new, we’ve seen it millions of times throughout history. We see it in stars, such as Elvis Presley or Marilyn Monroe, as well as in movies such as The Devil Wears Prada, and even in older works such as H. Ibsen’s play, A Doll’s House, first performed in the 1870’s. People crumble in on themselves as they try to stand against the imaginary ideal of who society believes that they should be, as shown through Nora in A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen.…

    Nora Helmer could be argued to be the “Doll” in the play “A Doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen. She was spoiled by her father while growing up and now by her husband Torvald which, at first leads Nora to have a lack of reality and a sense of immaturity with childish tendencies and a lack of understanding the law. We watch how Nora slowly begins to learn how to think like an adult and become independent as the play unfolds. Her interactions with the members of the cast proves how much of an unrealistic view Nora has on her actions. Nora was sheltered her entire life and which can only lead to the question if she will be able to fend for herself and learn what it is to be a responsible adult.…
