In the past‚ Congress has funded abstinence-only programs over abstinence-plus education. The $102 million (0) currently being spent on abstinence-only programs seems to be intended to serve social and political goals‚ instead of producing positive health results for youth. The government appears to be concerned with how others portray our citizens‚ as immoral beings‚ when sex is an inevitable occurrence. Abstinence-plus education emphasizes the benefits of abstinence while also teaching about contraception

. But there is no security for anyone in a prejudiced world‚ least of all a black stable hand with a crooked back. The farm that George constantly describes to Lennie—those few acres of land on which they will grow their own food and tend their own livestock—is one of the most powerful symbols in the book. It seduces not only the other characters but also the reader‚ who‚ like the men‚ wants to believe in the possibility of the free‚ idyllic life it promises. Candy is immediately drawn in by the

“Women should avoid dressing like sluts‚” those were the words of Constable Michael Sanguinetti‚ a Toronto Police officer whose comments at the beginning of this year started a wave of anger‚ which led to protests and marches that started in Toronto and spread all around the world. Although I hope it is obvious to most people‚ anger that led to these marches came from the implication that those who dress as “sluts‚” deserve any victimization that they get. So‚ in case you haven’t guessed in

I have finished reading Legend by Marie Lu. The prompt I have chosen for my Journal Entry is “Describe the author’s craft (language and style). What was good about the author’s writing? What thing might you try to do in your writing that you learned from this author?” Things that I believe the author did well in her writing were the use of perspective‚ character development‚ and foreshadowing. One of the features of Legend was that it was told by two characters in the same story‚ Day and June.

Marie de France’s twelve lais are thought to have been written between 1155 and 1170 in England (Rikhardsdottir 26). The writer of the prologue to the set of lais introduces herself as Marie. Because she only offers her name and her wish for herself and her works to not be forgotten‚ not much is known about Marie de France (Kinoshita and McCracken 202)‚ but her writings and the authors who mention her in their works help provide more information about Marie de France (Kinoshita and McCracken 207)

Harlem Duet-Modern Play Essay Despite of being declared free and living in a free society‚ many times characters remain restricted due to their own conflicting matters. This can be seen evidently in the play Harlem Duet through the main character‚ Billie. Despite all blacks being declared officially free from slavery by the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863‚ Billie still feels ‘enslaved’ many times due to pressures of external factors‚ such as racism that still exists in society‚ and internal factors

I attended the play on March 22nd. I have attended most of the plays here‚ at Waynesburg.
