    The title sounds easy right?  Eat to live‚ don’t live to eat.  Simple enough.  So why do I go to the park and half of the people I see are overweight or severely obese?  Why are their kids fat?  Why do my coworkers have fat rolls that hang off the back of their chairs?  It’s a question I have asked myself over and over again.  There have been many theories as to why people are fatter today than they were 100 years ago.  Now you can choose to believe the BS about good calories and bad calories or

The novel pokes fun at the attention to impractical details‚ such as to the spent copying the Leibowitz blueprints. Miller also mocks humans by describing the inordinate amount of attention and energy given to a spiritual being such as Leibowitz‚ as today’s society worships God. Finally‚ the most absurd way

I believe through my reading of Broken Lives that the key factor of expository texts is to explore awkward questions deeply and critically. In this case who was guilty of killing Rosemary Anderson in a hit and run‚ John Button or Eric Edgar Cooke‚ and the effect

The death penalty is a very touchy subject to most for a good reason‚ in my eyes the death penalty is injustice. For reasons such as money‚ religion‚ the principal of knowing right from wrong as well as the wrongly accused‚ and the prolonging suffering of the victims’‚ families
