Hamilton was unable to see Cooper before she dashed onto the street because the poor lighting and Cooper’s dark clothing. As soon as Hamilton saw Cooper, he slammed the brakes, but it was too late.

He didn’t see cooper before it was too late. She ran out, he…

An excerpt from Fareed Zakaria’s ‘The Post-American World’ appeared in Newsweek in May of 2008. In this excerpt Zakaria asserts that “The post-American world is naturally an unsettling prospect for Americans, but it should not be. This will not be a world defined by the decline of America but rather the rise of everyone else (Zakaria. pg 1).” With this powerful statement Zakaria is issuing a proclamation that America is not in decline, but that there are other countries narrowing the competitive…

By studying Morales’s essay closely, students would be able to see how he distinguishes between hyphens…

Let's face it African-American have had a tragic past in America. A wide spectrum of African societies, whose members were brought to American shores in chains, formed a strong influence on the American family life and the hyphen is a reminder of our impact. Much like you I agree with some of the intend message. The Duke’s loyalty to America is admirable but it is a bit outlandish to say that the just because you are hyphen American you are less than an American. Last time I checked…

had never learned. Not to say that I will never make basic grammatical errors because I certainly will; however, I now have a much better understanding of the rules.

They share the rent, but they can part ways at any time as they do not share a bank account and are not legally bound to one another through…
