Year Round School
Number of Words: 421 / Number of Pages: 2
... the current school system, most of the beginning months of school are wasted on review. Everyone forgets after such a long break from school, epecially in Math.

A Room With A View Windy Corne
Number of Words: 930 / Number of Pages: 4
... physical interiors are just as different as their appointed names. Mrs Vyse’s flat is not described in too much detail, but just enough so that the reader has a clear picture of it in our minds.

Light is associated with goodness, truth an ...

so that people can learn to make allowances for the problems of the
homosexualists. This is very important because in the modern society, equality
is a majo ...

... and must be proven false to continue his quest for truth and certainty.
Descartes second meditation gives a definite certainty for which to use as his foundation to build his beliefs. Then his third meditation proves the existence of God and the external world, while disproving the evil genius theory. That definite certainty that cannot be doubted, is the fact that I exist. Whenever I utter or think “I am” I know this to be absolutely true, without doubt. From this definite foundation Descartes tries to prove that there is something external to the mind. So he states the law of casualty. This ba ...

... It can
be used to defeat the enemy as long as the other
side of it does not defeat the allies. Labyrinths
could be used to protect all sorts of things. The

minotaur. Instead of it keeping him from completing
the labyrinth, it kept him inside so he could do
the people no harm. He was lost inside of it until
Theseus came and killed him.
Labyrinths and mazes aren't just used for

Violence 2
Number of Words: 902 / Number of Pages: 4
... order. Law and order are two things that just seem like guidelines from which a kid bases his or her rebellion. Just like in Columbine High School there was a small group of kids who were willing to break the law because there were restrictions on what they could do. And because they were teased by some of the kids, and to them it might have felt like the whole school was coming down on them, they got their revenge in one way possible. Although we will never know exactly why, even though they left a note, they rebelled against the system like they did; we will never know because they are now dead ...
