The first article to review is “Don’t waste police resources,” and it was written by Debra Leach. She is against not raising the Blood Alcohol Limi because she wants our officers to focus on actual criminals. What she means are the ones that are murdering people, stealing, and performing violent crimes. She believes the law enforcement in the United States needs to focus on criminals that are doing much more to warm people. “Such a law could set back safety efforts and give criminal records…

Cover Letter Through my essay, I evaluate Lynn O’Shaughnessy’s article titled “8 Reasons Not to Get a Business Degree”. Although she gives eight reasons, some were very similar or relatable, and all were relatively short, so I combined them when making my counterarguments and establishing my position. Many of her statements were backed up with weak, or even falsely represented data, so I used reliable sources with effective statistics and facts to support my counterargument and establish new…

The word “super” illustrates something of extreme excellence and “hero” usually describes an individual with courage and helpfulness. Together, the word “superhero” exudes an image of power, bravery, and increased importance.

In Watchmen, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons reveal, through the character Dan Drielberg, Nite Owl 2.0…

Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast,” said William Congreve in The Mourning Bride. If the captivating melody could easily take the edge off of the most atrocious monster, then, what are other significant impacts of euphonic sounds for the society? Many are gradually acknowledging the underlying implications of harmonies to their percipience, as seen in the ironical case of Ludwig van Beethoven.

Although this could be true, the lack of logical…
