I’ve always had a love for traveling. But I think when I really caught the “travel bug” was last summer I took a road trip to New Orleans and then to Austin, Texas. I honestly love long car rides and listening to music and eating fast food for a whole entire day. I remember arriving in New Orleans around 8 PM and the sun was almost gone and the streets are really narrow so there was just enough room for the sun to fit in between the houses. The atmosphere is different. It just made me feel more relaxed

Thank you for your consideration, gentlemen of the jury, on this exceedingly significant matter. Gentlemen, why should you, with the responsibility of this man’s fate lying in your hands, imprison and execute him when the law itself from the “knowledge of understanding,” the exact law that you have vowed upon, states that it is a hazardous thing to do? Why should you convict a human being upon misleading evidence which the law itself states is a precarious deed to act upon? Gentlemen of the jury
Jonathan Swift used hyperbole, ethos, and understatement, to show his view on the poverty stricken, Irish citizens.

In these times, there were really only two social classes, the upper class, and the lower class. Everyone in the lower class had troubles, but children had it the hardest.
