Why girls are better than boys? It seems like girls have always been smarter than boys. Throughout the years girls have proven to excel with their brains. For example‚ a woman was the one to discover DNA instead of a boy. Girls are hard workers‚ mature individuals‚ and more aware than any boy has dreamed of being. Being hard working is just something most females are. They work hard to keep themselves organized. For example‚ my mom has always been the one to scold me for having an unorganized

Kids between nine and eleven start creating stereotypes for each other. That means before kids can even start school sports‚ boys are looking

I chose “The Drummer Boy of Shiloh” by Ray Bradbury. The theme of this story is the boy overcoming fears about the battle. Conflict‚ resolution‚ characters’ dialogue‚ and behavior all contribute to the story’s theme because it affects the mood or the scene around the “bloody battle”. ”Beyond the thirty-three familiar shadow forty thousand men‚ exhausted by nervous expectation and unable to sleep for romantic dreams of battles yet unfought‚ lay crazily askew in their uniforms”. The behavior of these

Boys are separate from girls‚ obviously‚ and girls are separate from boys. However‚ if you are the intolerable reader whom has now become focused on the extension of skin‚ or lack of for that matter‚ between your legs‚ you are‚ merely‚ another representative of our contemptuous society. Disgusting in most eyes‚ but it is the false statements of individuals that lead us to believe in purity. Purity is a rarity at this age.
