Imagine that somebody you knew was killed or murdered by a child. Since the obvious murderer was a child, no severe charges will be set. Any human of all ages, should be allowed to take any charges by court. For example, according to abc.news.go.com,” a killing on February 12, 1993 of the almost three year old boy, James Bulger, by the two ten year olds.” My thinking is that people like the ten year olds, should be able to take charges, it is unfair that only the victim’s family is…

Huckleberry Finn is a ten year old boy because he is only ten years old he is undereducated and still forming his…

I remember it like it was yesterday, I was about Eleven or Twelve years old. What had started out as a great day took a turn for the worst. My brother, Bobby, was moving to San Diego and had decided to take our pit bull red with him.

It was going well for the first couple days, it was hard getting used…

Churches have their own interpretations of the bible, but the Bible says that each sexual is equal. The quote from Augustine states that women were only created for procreation. “But many people including women, followed Jesus form place to place (Matthew 27:55-6), and this act of following is one of the central understandings of what it means to be a disciple” (Anderson, 184).
