Cheaper by the Dozen
The book Cheaper by the Dozen written by Frank B. Gilbreth, Jr. and
Ernestine Gilbreth Carey was the life story of the Gilbreth family
before Mr. Gilbreth died. Frank Gilbreth, Jr. and Ernestine Gilbreth
were two of the twelve children. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbreth, both
industrial engineers, ran a firm, Gilbreth, Inc. which was employed as
"efficiency experts" by major industrial plants in the United States,
Britain, and Germany.
Mr. and Mrs. Gilbreth had twelve children, six girls and six boys.
The names of the children are Anne, Ernestine, Frank, Bill, Lillian,
Martha, Jack, Jane, Fred, Mart, Bob, and Dan. The older children's
job is to take care of the youngest and the mother took care of the
intermediate children and babies.
Nothing was consider more a sin than wasting time, that is why
the father, Frank, times himself trying to go as fast as he can
with almost everything. He timed himself buttoning his shirt
to see which way is faster, top-bottom or bottom-top. He timed
himself shaving to see which way took longer, using two brushes
to apply the shaving cream of one. He found that two were
faster. Frank, the father also experiment on which ways was
faster, using two razors of one. He found that one was faster,
because with two he cut himself so many times it took him twice
as much time to cover the cuts up.
The book talked about how smart Frank, the Father was. He
painted mores code on the walls of their summerhouse to teach
it to his children. When the children decoded the message
written on the wall, it revealed a clue that tells the child
who decoded it where a prize was hidden. He painted also all
of the planets and stars you can see in the sky on the walls of
their summerhouse to teach his kids astrology.
A neat power that the father, Frank, had was that as soon as he
look at a person he would know their nationality. When ever
the family would go somewhere were you would have to pay by the
person, such as a toll bridge, Frank, the father, would take
one look at the person and know that their nationality was
Irish. The father, Frank, would say, "do my Irishmen come
cheaper by the dozen?" The owner would probably say,
"Irishmen? If you are Irish, you should not pay a toll on my
road. Your trip is on the house."
At the end of the book the father, Frank is called for work in
The leading cause of death for U.S. teenagers is motor vehicle accidents. More than 5,000 of our teens die each year in crashes. For the purpose of this topic, “teenagers” encompasses ages ranging from 15- to 20-year-olds. I am proposing legislation to address this issue.
Juror #1 originally thought that the boy was guilty. He was convinced that the evidence was concrete enough to convict the boy. He continued to think this until the jury voted the first time and saw that one of the jurors thought that the boy was innocent. Then throughout the movie, all of the jurors were slowly convinced that the boy was no guilty.
The federal Megan’s Law established three specific conditions. The first condition required information from state sex offender registries to be distributed publicly so that all community citizens have access to it. The second condition required any information collected by registration programs within the states to be released for any reason given that it is allowed under the state law. Finally, the third condition required local and state law enforcement agencies to release all applicable information from state registration programs needed for the protection of the public (Corrigan, 2006, p. 271).

Sex offender legislation has been encouraged and written to protect the community and the people at large against recidivism and or to help with the reintegration of those released from prison. Nevertheless, a big question has occurred as to if the tough laws created help the community especially to prevent recidivism or make the situation even worse than it already is. Sex offenders are categorized into three levels for example in the case of the state of Massachusetts; in level one the person is not considered dangerous, and chances of him repeating a sexual offense are low thus his details are not made available to the public (Robbers, 2009). In level two chances of reoccurrence are average thus public have access to this level offenders through local police departments in level three risk of reoffense is high, and a substantial public safety interest is served to protect the public from such individuals.
The movie silver linings playbook is about two people who suffered from unexpected events that took in their lives. Pat, who suffered from bipolar disorder could not bear the fact that his wife had left him. Tiffany, another major character in the story, her husband’s death left her on the verge of breaking apart. Both of these characters could not deal with the circumstances that shook their world. Pat, who was still in love with his wife, had spent months in a mental hospital. He was released from the hospital and moved in with his parents. He underwent many rough moments whenever someone played his wedding song because he couldn’t believe his wife Nikki had not returned to him yet. He worked very hard to improve his behavior to be compatible

Engines roaring and cars flying down the highway recklessly, racing to the finish. This is a stereotyped outlook on teen drivers. This however, is not the case. Teens don’t drive to race down the road. They drive for freedom. They drive to get where they need to be on their own. The driving age should not be raised to 18 because it takes away their feeling of freedom, Denies the access to needed transportation, denies experience, It puts additional stress on parents, and they need to be learning the driving skill while they’re young.
The sex offender registry has been a topic of debates and formal studies since the Minnesota Sex Offender Registration Act was first passed in 1991 (Stevens, n.d.). Sex offenders across the country are being harassed and abused on a daily basis for the crimes they committed, were convicted for, and served their punishment for. Due to the sex offender registry giving out names, pictures, addresses, phone, numbers, vehicle information, as well as other personal information these sex offenders are being targeted in the homes and work places. Their families are also victims of abuse. In addition, the use of the sex offender registry has created blind spots in parents. They may
Being the oldest of four, looking after children is something that has always come naturally to me. By age six I was diapering siblings, by twelve I was earning money to watch the neighborhood kids while their parents went out and at the weekly neighborhood meetings. I have since moved forward from causally babysitting in hopes of obtaining a career in childcare as a fully certified early childhood Educator. I currently work casually in two in home licensed daycares where I have accumulated appoximately 150 hours of experience, and in a full daycare and preschool facility where I have worked approximately 60 hours.
Minority Report is a 2002 science fiction film directed by renowned director Steven Spielberg and is set in the year 2054 in Washington, D. C. The film revolves around an elite law enforcing squad; Precrime. The Precrime Division uses three genetically altered humans called Pre-Cogs whom possesses special powers to see into the future and predict crimes beforehand. After each crime is foreseen and analyzed, Precrime police officers are sent to the crime location to apprehend the future murderers and place them under arrest. The future murderers are then put into a sleep state with a device called a "halo". Based on Minority Report, it suggests that humans are free willed beings and have the ability to alter the future that was predetermined for them.
In the award winning novel Animal Farm, the author, George Orwell, makes strong relations to 1917 politics and historical figures.The characters have strong parallels as there are no doubts to who they represent. George Orwell made a clear connections to the politics in 1917 and expertly gave his opinion. Michael Berry described it this way, “The story and language are very simple, but Orwell is unnervingly precise in the way he depicts each step on the road from revolution to tyranny.”
Sixteen year olds have a higher crash rate than drivers of any other age. “ in 2011, teenagers accounted for 10 percent of motor vehicle crash deaths” (Teen Driving Statistics). For this purpose, Many states have begun to raise the age limit by imposing restrictions on sixteen years old drivers. For example, limiting the number of passengers they can carry while driving. “The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety released a report in May 2012 that showed that the risk of 16- or 17-year old drivers being killed in a crash increases with each additional teenage passenger in the vehicle. The risk increases 44 percent with one passenger; it doubles with two passengers, and quadruples with three or more passengers. The study analyzed crash data and the number of miles driven by 16- and 17-year olds” (Teen Driving Statistics). Another example, is that many people believe that teenage drivers have a race boy/girl mentality. This mean that when any teenager gets into a vehicle of any kind they get some type of thrilled or that the driving laws do not accommodate them in any way, shape, or form. They would go drag race ...
“Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of unintentional deaths for teens (16-17),” reported The New York State Department of Health. The most exciting thing about being sixteen in the United States is driving. Teenagers can not wait to be sixteen to drive, however, they do not understand the dangers that come with driving at such a young age. Sixteen is the age between child life and adulthood. It is a time when they are not stable and undergoing change, which makes them unsuitable to drive. Many teenagers would say that they need to get to places. In response to that claim, there are public transportation systems and bikes as available alternatives for young drivers. The financial stability and matureness of eighteen year olds proves
