    world. Tessie died today, and for what? What’s the point of it all? I have never understood the point of the lottery. Yet every year, we follow that boring old fool Mr Summers, and condemn one of our neighbours to death. The other villages have stopped – why can’t we? Brusquely, I sat down. My elbows dug into the table as I held my head in my hands. Her desperate cries echoed in my ears once again. Death wasn’t kind. It came, greedily snatching people away, not even pretending to care about…

    extremely honoured to be here today to convey my speech on a topic that has been weighing my heart “Abuse to Women with No exception to Race, Religion nor Nationality”. What could I possibly say about such an abomination towards women all over the earth that would placate or alleviate their plight? Absolutely nothing!

    this true because of the woman think as their husbands as someone they love and look to for help and/or guidance. We look to the government for help and guidance but they are just controlling us in a way. We call ourselves the “greatest country on Earth” yet, all we do is go to school for sixteen years, then we work for the rest of our lives to be so called “happy.” Why do we do what the government tells us when we know there is something else we could be doing to enjoy life more?

    ourselves every day we live. Everyone needs someone to talk to and depend on in case if something tragic happens to one person. If there was one person who was different compared to all of GenMe’ers, it would be hard for him or her to live because everyone else would be too self-centered to notice the person. Our society should attempt to intervene these trends now because the self-esteem curriculum being taught in schools only breeds more narcissistic children. If it is not stopped, it might be…
