Point of View

      When it comes to personal hygiene,people should alwasys present a clean version of himself or herself. Unfortunately, so many people neglect this importance. In particular, bad breath, also known as halitosis, seems to be an epidemic these days. When someone open his or her mouth, one should not smell a trash dumpster! People with this is should go to a local drugstore and use their money to buy a tongue scaper, dental floss, mouth wash, toothpaste, and of course, a tooth brush. With that being said, body odor is another issue one should not have to deal with. If someone do not take a bath in the morning before he or she go to school, simply wiping deoderant under your armpits andwalking through a mist of body spray will not hide the funk! If someone does not bathe each morning,by the end of the day he or she will literally walk around with a cloud of odor lingering around himself or herself. In summation, people be more considerate and more aware of how his or her hygiene affects others.

Defend, Refute, or Qualify

Quote: " Second is only the first loser. "

" Second is only the first loser", I believe that this quote is a true statment. After the first contender finishes the race, everyone behind him are considered losers. Even though second place is looked at as runner up , the one that finishes second didn't win the whole race.

Con Artist

Every morning before school I pay a visit to my locker. I keep careful watch for the teachers, making sure they don't uncover my secret duty. I'm a extra credit seller, I make a profit off of selling extra credit to students that are failing or need a couple of points to get the grade they desire. Its a hard job, but someone has to do it; that someone is me.

Near Death

I near death experience I had is when I was in the wave pool at a water park. I was on a tube floating in the 5ft section when the waves were activated. I saw that i was drifting farther out into the 6ft area. I quickly flipped over before I went out too far; when I flipped I went down into the water. The water was too deep for me and my tube was too far away for me to reach. I managed to jump my way back into the 5ft and then I was safe

Southerners

Since the Southerners lost the Civil War I think that they should have gave up part of their land to the North. I also think that the South should pay back the depts of the costly war.

If Slavery was still here

If the Civil War have never happened and slavery still thrived, inventions created by African Americans would have never been invented and the thoughts on dominance over other races could increase. The South seceded from the Union because of disagreements on the slavery issue.

John Brown

I think John Brown was a man dedicated to his cause, but in the end his decication turned into insanity. He was raised as a child to oppose slavery, so his actions were results from his beliefs. The turning point in his cause began when he started to use volience to support his cause.

2.Civil Wars wage on around the world; one is being waged at this moment in Iraq.

3.John Brown believed God spoke to him and urged him to kill all who were in favor of slavery; on the other hand, later experts who studied him believed that Brown most likely fell victim to schizophrenia and his “whispers from God” were most likely hallucinations that stemmed from his mental disorder.
