Why is polygamy considered bad? Is it because people view polygamy as one man having their own personal harem that acts like nothing more than slaves for that man's pleasure? But is that true? To quote Elbert Hubbard “Polygamy: An endeavor to get more out of life than there is in it.” So is polygamy evil as we believe? I believe that though the government has passed many laws that are against polygamy. I believe that it should be legalized. What is polygamy, polygamy is the practice of a man…

giving God’s children such specific detail about where did we come from and why are we here. In particular, since Joseph Smith always sought for continuing revelation, we discover more about the pre-mortal life and why we need a savior. No other book of scripture goes into as much detail about the true nature of Satan, and how the origin of agency affected mankind. By studying the pre-mortal life in the Doctrine and Covenants, we realize why agency is such an integral role to our…

fiction author, expresses the importance of libraries in the above quotation, stating that access to the public library essentially “cures” us of our nescience, pessimism, and prejudice. Bray describes books—to which the library card is a passport—as windows into new mindsets, ideas and perspectives; books are described as conduits by which the library broadens…

course the picture books were the best. I mean, at that age, I didn’t really have the visualization skills to see the book on my own just from words, versus how I am today. So, I loved having the pictures in books as a visual aid. I was reading things like “Beauty & the Beast, The Jungle Book, Tarzan, Cinderella, and The Lion King.” I can’t say how many times I read those books over and over. I went on to read more and more of those books, but this time they had some chapters. Books such as…

As I got older, reading for pleasure took a backseat to homework, a social life, and other hobbies. I believe I…

After a few short minutes of looking, I triumphantly pulled the book from the shelf and inspected the cover. It looked more worn and faded and had an old-fashioned drawing on the front that didn’t catch my fancy. Only slightly dissuaded, I turned it over to the back to read the synopsis. Sentence by sentence, my…
