Communication With Teenagers
Number of words: 1925 | Number of pages: 7.... her. The brother is eyeing the sister
now and at times glancing at the television. The sister wears a frown as
she sits down and the brother has a blank, half-smiling, almost mocking
look upon his face as he stares at the sister.
The sister’s tone of voice is sarcastic and she appears to be
irritated simply by his presence. He begins to talk to her from the chair
across the room. “You didn’t do your dishes!” he declares, loud enough for
their parents to hear.
Bluntly she replies, “So?”
He rolls his eyes in response and then asks if she wants the old
television, because it still works. She scoffs at him as if he d .....

Nontraditional Tradtions
Number of words: 876 | Number of pages: 4.... new ways. Why do we need to celebrate
tradition? It gives us something to look forward to and makes a formal
statement that there are some things in life to be grateful for.
The notion of honoring tradition is unsettling for some people; let
alone creating new ones. We understand that we need something to add a sense of
order and stability to our lives. But we are not sure about how to create our
own traditions. We seem to think that traditions must be heavy and complex
ideas that had been around for hundreds of years and will be around for a
hundred more. In my opinion, this is not true. It need not be big or religiou .....

Down With Community Service
Number of words: 464 | Number of pages: 2.... are about to graduate high school are planning to go to college after they
graduate. I also asked them about doing community service. Most of them said
that they would be getting a job, and they would not have time to do community
service. My survey has brought me to the conclusion that students who are
thinking about going to college should not be thinking about doing two years of
community service.
Community service is detrimental to college students. I was talking on
the phone with my cousin, Waldo, who lives in Rhode Island. We got to talking
about the community service subject. He told me that there is a law in

School Uniform
Number of words: 409 | Number of pages: 2.... had 1000 pupils. Group "A" consisted of students that had a policy. Group "B" did not. After they took the same test, group "A" got 15% higher grades than group "B". This study shows that uniforms improve grades in school.
Every time children who don't have rich parents look at the wealthy students they will dream about fancy clothes. If the schools adopt a uniform rule, children won't be teased about what they wear, because everyone will be wearing the same thing. Nobody will be jealous of anyone else's clothing. Kids who wear regular clothes, not uniforms, will always be judged by what they wear and that is not fair. Theref .....

Racism
Number of words: 725 | Number of pages: 3.... is
notorious for its violence, has a relatively innocent beginning. It was
formed from some veterans from the confederate army and was first called
the Kuklos Clan which, in Greek, meant Circle Clan.
One person thought it would be a good idea to call it the "Ku Klux Klan"
as a parody of the fraternity names which always had three Greek alphabet
letters in it. They created the Clan to be mischievous and to do it
without anyone knowing who they were which accounts for their costumes and
masks. They, like most whites, were upset that the black people were
free because black people were a constant reminder of the bitter defeat of .....

My Great-Grandmother Was Not A Person
Number of words: 634 | Number of pages: 3.... still holds strong today,
although not as strongly.
Men said that women were to fragile to vote. Yet no man has ever experienced
labor pains. Furthermore no man has fought any battle that was as hard as the
one the famous five women have fought. The Election Act of the Dominion of
Canada states that "No woman, idiot, lunatic, or criminal shall vote." So women
are equal to criminals? It's not a crime to be a woman. We should not be judged
by our sex. On April 19, 1916 women in Alberta were granted the right to vote. A
small battle was won. Five Canadian women have conquered countries and nations
for their rights. When ques .....

Number of words: 530 | Number of pages: 2.... continue. The claim was presented in such a
fashion that, while based on widely accepted ideas, an appeal to the
emotions through sympathy for the injured children was also applied. To
justify their claim, statistics such as 28 children under the age of 10
were murdered between 1987 and 1994, 95% of which were murdered with
firearms and over half the murders were done as drive-byes. Unfortunately,
the means to correct even one of these problems was not included.
Hutson and Anglin do cite what they consider to be the root causes
of gang formation: poverty, stressed families, unemployment,
underemployment, lack of education, rac .....
