Standardized testing to some individuals is highly defined as a waste of time and a big threat to our children. But, in the other hand many individuals believe that these particular tests help our children advance their education and stay more focused in school. The No Child Left Behind Act became law in 2002. Among other things, it required standardized testing of students, beginning in…

Pierce writes action in a style that keeps the readers’ interest while simultaneously moving the plot along at a smooth pace; for example, she wrote “Kel dodged left, still between him and the escape, and stepped in with a long slash across his middle. He blocked it with his cutlass and hacked down at Kel’s head.” (“Squire” 82) Meyer, on the other hand, says very little in several lines of text. For example, Meyer stated that three actions happened in nearly fifty words: “I heard…

Factory Farming and the Environment Since the beginning of time humans have eaten meat for survival purposes, but in today’s society it is no longer necessary. The growing population has created an unsustainable demand for animal products. A meat free diet is better for health, the animals, and the environment as a whole. With the question of morality aside, eating meat is unnecessary and does more harm than good. Factory farming has a negative effect on the environment. The meat industry…

Outline THESIS: When one thinks of coming of age, there is a mixed feeling- attaining adulthood and leaving childhood. The quest to do this either by conforming to the norms or becoming the tainted one depends on the choices one makes.

If websites do not exist, we wouldn 't be able to do what we do today, find information about what we like, because we have to use a website for everything that we…

The Iliad is a piece of epic poetry written by Homer in the ancient Greek time period. Concepts of war are seen throughout the poem and are practically the main topic of the whole story. In comparison to today’s view of war we can see many differences. Even modern Americans have mixed perceptions of war and soldiers. Despite the fact that ancient Greece and modern America have very different views of war, they both see some sense of glory in the battlefield. The Iliad is about the Trojan war.…

Alright, this time nothing’s gonna stop me from this. Guess who was my first thought after I saw this task. Bingo! Heath Ledger’s Joker. For me, The Dark Knight is not just another ridiculous superhero story, like ‘Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice’*, but the whole philosophy behind. When people are young (yea, just like I’m turning 81 tomorrow), they all praise the Batman. When they get older and start to analyze some facts, they come to the conclusion that it was the Joker who was a real…
