Recommend This Book Part Of The Book
678 words
I read the book, Go Ask Alice. The author was
anonymous. The main character was a girl, and her
name was not mentioned. It was written as a diary.
I thought that this book was very interesting
because it was true; it is based on an actual
diary of a fifteen-year-old drug user. In the
beginning, she has a break up with her boyfriend
and is anorexic. She eats very little. She
overcomes that obstacle though. The girl moves
because her father gets a job at a university as a
professor. She moves with...

Sexual Harassment In The School
1,019 words
Sexual Harassment in the School The relations at
schools sometimes may become rather complicated.
The school itself is a reflection of society with
its laws and rules which should be in accord with
general rules and regulations. A school is a place
where young people become the loyal citizens. A
school is a place where the teenagers receive
their knowledge of the society's rules. Such
disgraceful phenomena as harassment, violence,
abuse, and humiliation are not acceptable at
schools and which un...

Commit A Crime Ability To Choose
1,252 words
Brain frees Humans The topic I wish to discuss
deals with the freewill of humans. For example,
say a guy has an enemy, which he hates. One day
this guy makes a conscious decision to kill his
enemy. Should blame fall on this man for killing
his enemy? Currently, all places in the world,
which I can think of, are built around some moral
basis that holds a person responsible for their
actions. Although, a hard determinist would have
to disagree and say that people are not free.
Human acts are cause...

XinranChatto and Windus? 14. 99, pp 244 Any
Journalist who writes about suffering knows that
the copy will be read partly in a spirit of
prurience. The story may cry out to be told, but
part of what makes it publishable is its shock
value. Exploitation, cruelty and violence make
compelling reading, and although the writers and
indeed the readers chief motive may be to expose
or understand wrongs, you cant get away from the
fact that torment is titillating...

boyfriend and I were on our annual hike to Clear
Lake. An obviously attractive name for a beautiful
body of water. Clear Lake was an icy cold from the

subordinated for so long in the world, I am

for my attempt to talk on this topic is based on
