think there shouldn’t be a law on it. What I think about this is to add a law on texting while walking on the street or sidewalk, to make it safer to walk on the streets. There has been 2,594 pedestrian deaths of texting and walking, in just California alone. This and another fact is that more than 5,987 pedestrians died in 2016 in the US alone.

Queens Boulevard is the widest street in New York City (175-225ft) on which more than 60,000 cars navigate tedious traffic jams everyday. Since 1990 to date, an outstanding 185 people, predominantly elderly pedestrians, have lost their lives on Queens Boulevard.

Texting while driving is a growing trend, and a national epidemic, quickly becoming one of the country’s top killers (TextingandDrivingSafety.com). Mostly teenager’s text…

dystopian world because in most utopian worlds become too perfect and people become to greedy and don't want to be like everybody else. One key piece of a utopia is equality and in both Pedestrian Ray Bradbury and in Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. equality has created a dystopian world.

(Source 3, paragraph 2). This shows that our country needs some sort of law or…

To begin with, I will be comparing how driving in the summer and driving in the winter are different and how they are also alike. There are different skills that are needed for driving in the summer versus driving in the winter. To start, driving in the winter can be more difficult to drive through and that is because of the weather conditions. In winter, the weather is always changing,it could be rain, snow, sleet, hail, and all four of them can be very difficult to drive through because it…
