The free land is not free The author of “In the Land of Free”‚ Edith Maud Eaton‚ with pen name Sui Sin Far‚ was not a direct immigrant from Asia to the United States‚ but she portrayed the harsh treatment Asian immigrants faced upon entering in the U.S. in the late 1800s.

Do you get enough sleep at night? Or do you not get enough because you stayed up all night doing homework?

would have a positive impact on a free society. As it stands now--how it has stood for generations‚ for that matter-- the government is run less by an idea of right and wrong‚ and more by convenience‚ however immoral.

4.

The US Government shouldn’t provide free healthcare for all citizens. Free healthcare is too ambitious‚ and would be very difficult to regulate. Institutions that have tried to offer free healthcare in the past have been exploited. Johns Hopkins hospital was a charity hospital for patients who were unable to pay medical bills‚ usually black patients who were segregated by ward (Skloot 15). Hospitals like this took advantage of poor and black patients and did research on them without their knowledge

Should prisoners serving life sentences for first degree murder be eligible for a parole hearing after 15 years? They shouldn’t. Criminals who hold life sentences for murder‚ rape‚ and kidnapping should stay in a jail cell. Without even the slightest chance of getting out.

They were 1) they didn’t want the prisoners telling their stories‚ 2) The Nazis thought they needed them to make army supplies‚ and 3) they wanted to use the prisoners as hostages to keep the Nazi party alive. But‚ all of these reasons had something very important in common; the Nazis did not want to get rid of their captives. Between the three of these reasons we can see a common theme; the

children have too much leisure time and in spite of wasting it‚ they should use it to do more school work. In my opinion‚ I think children should use their free time wisely to develop their skills not only in school work but also in their life. Firstly‚ we all know that people cannot keep on working all the time. We need to stop and relax ourselves. And after a long day in school‚ children also need to relax. In their free time‚ they can play games‚ have a small party or even talk to each other
