The Boy's Life

I agree. Everyone has a group of friends they choose to associate with therefore no matter what your friends you've picked that is you assume pose, the second has yet not been discovered I disagree, because just because you hang out with friends, if they aren't like you or they do things your against you can choose to give into peer pressure or stand up for what you believe in.

Corruption is throughout the whole world, and yes I agree if you fear corruption you will fear life thats mostly what life is made up of. So you have to stand up for yourself and be against corruption and you will be able to when life comes around to pull you back

1.The fastest way to make alot of money is probably stripping or drug dealing.

2.The best way is to first do something you love, and something that can help others and yourself. Most likely becoming a CEO. Sports, Talk Show host.

3.New money most likely doesn't just spends and become in debt and has nothing later. Many new money waist alot of money because they come from a background who never struggled.

Old money, people have struggled in the past, therefore they know what its like to struggle, and they want to save there money and not just waist it on any and everything.

DAWKINS VS.STEIN

This didn't really seem like a debate, Richard Dawkins was the only one really discussing but he really didn't have evidence to back up his information. I was just stuff he believed and his opinion. But I believe if Ben Stein would have talked about his God, he would have won, he seemed more confident and knew what he was talking about.

TOUGH DECiSiON

Well a couple friends and I had to go to the mall one day. But one of my friends had to be at home at a certain time.So we walk over to the light rail, and we're about to get our lightrail ticket, all of a sudden our lightrail pulls up. So we thought ok we gotta go because my friend had to be home at a certain time, so we just got on the lightrail without paying. I don't think it was that bad of a decision because I had a good reason.But now that I think about it I guess I did go against my religion (stealing) and my society.

Forgive me Lord!

STORy OF AN HOUR

Similarities between Story of and Hour and Ethan Frome: Both of the main characters are happy when there significant other is not with them. They are both tragic stories. Both characters are depressed. They both understand that life has happiness to offer.

WOMEN WRITERS

I don't think theres much of a difference between men and women writers. Its mostly about their own individual styles. There is some women who make other women to be sensitive, and men make them as to be more superior then women sometimes. But there is still some men and women who make there sex to be more superior than the other.

-Yes, there is a pattern. All the females have or want a man that is someone elses, and their men have all cheated or lied to their wife. Most of the women betray other women. In each booth there is a good girl and a bad girl.
