    274 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the beginning, Smalls was new to the neighborhood and no one wanted to be friends with him except for Benny. Then Benny taught Smalls how to play baseball. Benny then joined the sandlot boys. That shows good friendship to people because friends are there to help and be with people. Especially since Smalls came during the summer time which means he cannot meet new people like he would at school. Benny shows a good example to people here. Where people should talk to someone who is alone and get to know them. Another great example is when the sandlot boys were arguing with the young boys who played baseball as well but had matching socks and uniforms. They showed people the true meaning of friendship because they were on each other's side.

The girls claimed that the boys made 6 of the 7 seven white boys on the train jump off, then the boys assaulted the women. First of all, during the trial, Victoria Price gave a testimony that crucified the boy, and yet getting sympathy from the jury. Her testimony was not the same as the other girl’s, Ruth Bates.

    Whitney Houston and Bobbi Brown are seemingly distinct names in being award-winning musicians and have entertained us for generations, but their daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, lived her life in the shadows of her parent’s success. Bobbi Kristina Brown, who was an only child from Whitney Houston and Bobbi Brown, died the same way her mother, Whitney Houston did. Did Whitney Houston’s abuse of drugs influence Bobbi Kristina’s ideology of coping with depression? My research indicates that: first, Bobbi Kristina’s death was connected to her mother’s death.
