Driving a car and riding a bus may seem similar at times but in reality, they are very different. Owning a car is much different from simply buying a bus pass each day. There are certain benefits that each provides over the other.

The seats in a car are able to be adjusted which allows a person to be at a comfortable angle and height, a contentment that a bus seat does not provide. Not to mention, people can adjust the temperature of the car until they are at ease. This way they can be assured that they are not going to be overheated nor will they be at a colder temperature. One last comfort that is immense is the fact that one does not have to alter their schedule to fit in with the schedule of the bus. This allows the person to operate and create their own schedule for their day. In compliance with the popular belief, riding the bus is cheaper than driving a car. The costs that come along with owning and driving a car can quickly add up to be more than one can afford. Typically, a bus ticket can get a person to their destination and then back home, all with the one time payment. Some…

Malcom X once said “Envy blinds men and makes it impossible for them to think clearly.” This quote almost perfectly encapsulates the theme of these two short stories. “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury and “The Necklace” by Guy de Maupassant. In Brabury's short story, once every seven years the rain on Venus stops and the sun is able to shine bright. One day Margot, a new girl who just recently came to Venus from Earth, is being bullied by her classmates for keeping to herself. The other…

reason for this was because of the difference between the writings. The synoptic gospels were considered similar, but John did not really contain the same similarities that the other three writings had in common. The two works that I am going to compare are Mark’s gospel and John’s Gospel. First off, the gospels all sought to do the same thing, which was to detail and explain the life and death of Christ. The reason for writing four of them is simple. Each writer had his own distinct…
