80s
481 Words - 2 Pages.... and an old sheet dark enough to be a tent in the forest. Your world was the backyard and it was all you needed. With your pink portable tape player, Debbie Gibson sang back up to you and everyone wanted a skirt like the Material Girl and a glove like Michael Jackson's. Today, we are the ones who sing along with Bruce Springstein and The Bangles perfectly and have no idea why. We recite lines with the Ghostbusters and still look to The Goonies for a great adventure. We flip through T.V. stations and stop at The A Team and Knight Rider and Fame and laugh with The Cosby Show and Family Ties and Punky Brewster and what you talkin' 'bout Willis? We hold strong affections ....

A Raisin In The Sun
720 Words - 3 Pages.... a strong meaning and persuasive argument.
The poem's use of excellent diction helps to more clearly
define what the author is saying. Words like "guttering", "choking",
and "drowning" not only show how the man is suffering, but that he is
in terrible pain that no human being should endure. Other words like
writhing and froth-corrupted say precisely how the man is being
tormented. Moreover, the phrase "blood shod" shows how the troops
have been on their feet for days, never resting. Also, the fact that
the gassed man was "flung" into the wagon reveals the urgency and
occupation with fighting. The only thing they can do is toss him into
a wagon. ....

The Idea Of Freedom
401 Words - 2 Pages.... public in a nutshell. The
best part about being an American is the freedom of religion. Our country
was started with that idea as the Pilgrims came here to escape the
religious persecution in England. Now, there are over 200 different
variations of popular religions from around the world. Where else may an
individual may “flip-off” another and then write a contemptible letter to
the President without a blink of an eye by officials? In other countries,
such actions could cause one's life to be lost by sun-up the next day.
This is the rationalization of First Amendment tree-huggers who advocate
any bend in the rules which would be otherwise a fair idea.
