The Best Years of Our Lives

in the photos are to me. One particular photo, from ninth grade, is especially significant to me not because of how I or my friends look, but because of how much my life has changed in the few years since I began high school. Walking through the doors of Bartram trail High School my first day freshman year was the start of who I was and who I would become. Today and I am a bigger and better person than I was the first day of high school as I have become the person I wish to be and I have high…

nothing for which to prepare; she was only fifty-one years old. I knew her health was not the best; however, the diagnosed health problems were not what killed her.

My last example is when he promises to do his best to fix everything, it is very inspiring to read and listen to, his promise inspires others to do more. President Johnson used pathos to help persuade his reason.…

Philosophers have always searched for what they believed was the best way to live. Plato and Matthew are two of the most renowned philosophers of all- time on this issue. Plato wrote around 400 B.C.E while Matthew wrote around 80 A.D. Even though they wrote almost 480 years apart, they still wrote about what they thought the best society was.
