I came to the health care presentation with relatively extensive prior exposure to the details of the American Care Act, but surprisingly little knowledge of the debates surrounding the health care reform. From listening to the news I was aware that there was quite a bit of controversy surrounding the law, but it was only while researching that I discovered the details of why each political party, as well as the Catholic Church, supports or opposes the law. Knowing this, I have formed the opinion
I never understood how difficult it would be to leave the only place I called home. I always thought I would live the rest of my life in Tennessee. One night at the dining room table I realized that all my hopes of growing up with my best friends and family were vanishing. It was a typical school night at my house in July. My mother had set five place settings, and placed the spaghetti and garlic bread in the middle of the table. My two brothers and I talked of what had happened at school that
surgery. If only Elizabeth had been listening to the song, “Highway Don’t Care” by Tim McGraw and contemplating the lyrics to this ballad, then maybe she would not have been in the accident.

Jake - Original Essay I pushed off onto the ice; whoosh! I felt alive. I looked around at children laughing and falling, young lovers skating round and round, hand in hand. I turned to see Jake gliding toward me, a look of boyish glee on his face. I smiled and took his out-stretched, gloved hand in mine. We lapped the frozen lake together in synchrony, talking, laughing and generally showing off, when Jake decided to show me, and everyone else on the opaque ice, what he was made of. He
The Breakfast Club is a coming of age classic directed by John Hughes in 1985. It showcases five students that find themselves in all day Saturday detention for various unrelated incidents. John Bender, Andrew Clark, Allison Reynolds, Brian Johnson, and Claire Standish come from extremely different lifestyles even though they attend the same high school.

Bitter Sweet Symphony by the Verve A contemporary song must be carefully chosen to be put in the UTD time capsule. The song must cover the many characteristics assembled in this class as well as the many characteristics of our generation. ìBitter Sweet Symphonyî by the Verve is the perfect song to combine these positive and negative aspects.

Brandon Teena is the main character in Boys Don’t Cry. He is a boy that, as he himself proclaimed “had a birth defect or something”, meaning that he was born a girl.

This is first shown to the viewer when he moves out of Lincoln, Nebraska, to Falls City, Nebraska. At the end of the film, Brandon Teena is brutally raped and later murdered.

are taken care of but that doesn’t mean that they are all well taken care of, animals that are in captivity can be bad for them. Although animals in captivity are taken care of and kept from predators they should ban animals from being kept in captivity because the animals don’t have a big enough space to roam, small spaces cause not normal behavior, animals instincts can disappear. The first reason why animals should not be kept in captivity is animals need room to roam. In zoos they don’t have a
should not be kept as pets because they can be a danger at any time. They can’t be tamed in just a day, month, or even a year. It takes many generations to tame an animal. Like dogs for example, they have been tamed for generations. Some wild animals don’t kill people by just biting them and killing them. Wild animals carry all kinds of disease and spread them if people are not aware. Some of the diseases can be very harmful to humans including rabies, herpes B virus, and Salmonella. The herpes B virus

These negative emotions only hurt us and hurt the animals we care about it. For instance, we could easily get a serious case of compassion fatigue. http://www.care2.com/causes/why-are-animal-caretakers-suffering-as-much-as-the-animals.html And numbing ourselves and not caring so
promises. Everyone was acting so stupid, when it came time to vote, they kept asking how I was voting, I didn’t think it was any of their business.” “You have known most of the people on the council for years, and should know that they don’t vote intelligently. Why did you expect anything different today?” She asked arrogantly. “Why do they elect people on the council who work with their hands in the first place? What they need are members like you who work with their brains,” she explained

Just Stop Life is so unfair. Humans have to follow certain stereotypes to be accepted by many people. People go through hardships that they feel they don’t deserve yet, animals have it worse. Animals are loyal, smart, and helpful creatures so how could anyone mistreat them? They can also allow lonely people to fill the huge hole in their hearts. Even so, they get bad reputations from humans that result in them getting put to sleep because they were abused, neglected, or simply unwanted. Both animals
circus as a child, but they wouldn’t if they knew that the tigers and elephants were abused to get them to do the tricks that the kids love. Most circus animals spend 96% of their lives in cages or chained up. (PAWS. "Enjoy the Circus? The Animals Don't." Web Accessed March 14, 2015.) They are starved and abused to do things that are unnatural to their normal behavior.
