    However the two styles of racing are very different. In Fast and Furious, the settings of the races are at gatherings, where street gangs battle over who has the fastest car, while trying to outwit the law. Fast and Furious focuses on the lifestyle of the street racers. The races are fuelled by adrenaline, sexual tension, vendettas, and raw, out-of-control speed. The crowds cheer, howl, and cajole each other while presiding over the hungry roar of engines, and NOS-injected muscle cars, all set to test the limits. The settings for Talladega Nights are multiple NASCAR racetracks such as the Texas Motor Speedway, the Charlotte Motor Speedway, and the Talladega 500. In the film Talladega Nights, the main character Ricky Bobby is out to reclaim his fame as NASCAR champion after a frightful race accident driving his #26 Wonder Bread car. Talladega Nights offers a look into the racetrack and home life style of a NASCAR…

    It was the tallest and longest rollercoaster I had ever seen. Some of it was even out of the park! When went to ride it there was a long line but the wait was quick because there were three coasters running on the same track so boarding was quick. I was excited when I first go on it and couldn’t wait to go. The hill on the coaster was extremely tall. You could see the whole park! The coaster was fast and long with several quick turns, small hills, and even a tunnel. When it was over I wanted to ride it again but we went to ride the other rollercoasters in the park.

    Welcome to Newport, my section of the amusement park! My first attraction is a roller coaster called “Roger Williams’ Roller Coaster”. Everyone has the freedom to ride, no matter how tall or short you are! (But I recommend you to be forty-eight inches tall or higher, because if you aren't, it’s pretty unsafe). This relates to Rhode Island’s history because Rhode Island had freedom of religion instead of in this case, the freedom to be any height to ride, and Roger Williams, who founded Rhode Island, made so there was freedom of religion.…

    Robertson has the stronger defensible position in regards to the ethical issue of when, if ever, it is morally permissible or even obligatory to withdraw life-sustaining treatment from an infant that is severely handicapped. Engelhardt’s strongest opposing argument is his claim that there is no obligation to treat when the infant’s own life would be worse than death – this is also known as the “injury of continued existence”. Engelhardt takes a nonconservative stance on this issue – meaning that he believes in rights and rules and that the best consequences are not necessarily the only determining factor. Engelhardt argues that infants have a right not to have their lives prolonged” (pg. 132). He then proposes a legal concept of “wrongful life” where their actual existence is…
