In the end‚ however‚ she learns that she’s never had “the hardest row to hoe” and proves that she is a survivor. I agree with this quote because of the major relevance it has in fictional Ellen’s life. Ellen is characterized as a lonely young girl.

I strongly believe that we should get rid of reading logs. Because it just brings stress to the kids of getting their parent to sign the reading log‚ because they know if their parent does not sign their reading log the grade will go down.

The setting takes place at a puppet magic show in a grand theater. Every seat is sold out and the room is packed with people shoulder to shoulder. Loud booms‚ spectacular lights‚ and fireworks distract the audience from the operator of the performing puppets on center stage. They perform tricks that Harry Houdini would’ve never been able to do or imagine. The crowd loves the show because puppets seem almost human by having a mind of their own. You start to wonder what’s really going on and the person

In The Other Wes Moore‚ Wes reveals his confusion with his own motivations to the audience. I believe that he was so driven to understand the other Wes Moore because of the realization that that could’ve been him. The two Wes Moores had similar upbringings; Both lived in very poor areas with high crime and violence surrounding them. Wes was confused because they both didn’t end up the same way. He was successful while the other Wes was not. Both men grew up without a strong father figure in their

there were no questions asked. You would be sent to get hung. No one had trust in one other; you could not even testify that you were innocent. There was no trust between the people at all. Even family members were accused of being witches‚ no one was trusted in Salem‚ and trust was something that was not seen often. It is possible to not trust anyone in life. A Streetcar Named Desire and The Crucible showed a very good example of how this could be possible. The protagonist and antagonist in

All humans are conditioned creatures. We are conditioned to do many different things in life‚ some in very specific ways. One example‚ an obvious one‚ is behavioral conditioning. In an organized society‚ we are conditioned by outside factors (e.g. parents‚ government‚ friends) to act in a certain way. There is a limit to what we can do‚ where we can do it‚ and how we can do it. For instance‚ most of us are conditioned to pay taxes‚ obey laws‚ and lead as healthy and productive lives as possible.
