Adolf Hitler essay
Adolf Hitler was a man with great
political power in Germany but used this power in inhumane ways. During his
reign, one of the laws that he established was to ban Jews and non-Jews form
marrying each other. This law made sure that Jews were treated unequal. These
also show what kind he had. Hitler who had the most influential voice was the
execution of the Holocaust. His decisions have lead to the death of millions.
Hitler continued to kill anyone who was in his way and even innocent people who
were just caught up in the war. Adolf Hitler might have been an inhumane guy,
but he also had a very sad childhood.
Although
Hitler may have done inhumane things while he reigned in Germany, he still had
a messed up childhood. When he was still 3 years old, he moved from Austria to
Germany. While there, his younger
brother died in 1900. He may have been
depressed and having to go through this at such a young age to someone. This
also might be a reason for his hatred towards the Jews. Two years after his
fathers death, his mother allowed him to drop out of school when they moved to
Vienna and worked as a casual painter, but he tried to apply to the academy of
fine arts but got denied twice. Being denied to an art school may have caused
him to look for other interest. He might also have looked for something to make
him feel better.

Allusion Poem (rough draft)
Take a good look at me
Exactly what do you see?
A naïve fish trying to find their place in the big ocean
Maybe I’m just holding back a friend
But at the end,
I end up being helpful
Being the only one with a shoulder to cry on
“Keep swimming, just keep swimming”
I continually tell you,
But you don’t listen
You look at me like an ignorant fool
But I but I end up being smarter then you.
Its seems as if you think I’m socially unacceptable
Boy did I prove you wrong
Being the forgetful one,
I should be the one taken care of
But the role has been switched
Just imagine without me
Where do you think you would be?
You play with other fish?
Well, I play with sharks
You should have know better then trying to let me go
Because for me
I’m starting a new chapter

Angry Letter (final)

Dear YouTube,
Your video sharing website has been
my pop culture for quite some time now. Having that excitement of some of my
favorite youtubers upload a video has been a weekly (almost daily) routine for
me. It pleases me to say that that your website is one of my favorite websites
to visit.
However, just recently, while I was
on another video spree on my subscription list, I noticed that you have updated
the comment section as well as the likes/dislikes bar. Although some of the
features of the comment section are useful, such as the part where you can now
see every reply to a certain comment, the thing that bugs me is the fact that
when you click the link to a comment that is a reply to another comment it will
just open another link to the same video. Another part of your update that that
needs to be pointed out is the likes/dislikes bar. Before the update the colors
of the bar were green and red (green for likes and red for dislikes). Now that
it is blue and white (blue for likes and white for dislikes) its not only less
visually appealing, but also much harder to determine how many dislikes the
video gets as the white part of the bar tends to blend in with the background
I
understand that you are only doing these updates to further improve your
website, but I’m not the only one having the same problem. After reading
through the comments of some of the videos I was watching that day, some people
mentioned how “the updates were anything but useful” and “just makes things
harder”. Some youtubers also have the same complaint and try to make petitions
on having the old version back. I suggest that fixing the links on the
comment section and changing the colors of the likes/dislikes bar would be a
good solution
I hope you
get a the chance to read this letter and hopefully take my suggestion into
consideration since I love youtube with passion and its upsetting that these
updates make it difficult for me to enjoy it more.
From,

Risky Business Essay (rough draft)
Everyday teens are struggling of
trying to perfect their physical features. Whether it’s the way they look or
they way their body is shaped, all they want is to be accepted by society. Some
teens would be so desperate as to go on irrelevant diet, which would cause most
of them to obtain an eating disorder. Teen eating disorders is a major dilemma
in todays society that is usually caused by a disapproval of someone’s self
image, and that is why not only teens but parents should watch on the amount of
food their teens eat weather it be too much or to little.
Although
watching your diet could be a good thing, some teens take dieting to severely
even though it is inappropriate for then to be doing it. That’s why teens need
to start watching on the amount of food that they eat rather then limiting it
to a certain extent. In an article about eating disorders, its says, “to not
worry if your body isn’t perfect”. If teens were to think about this before
dieting, then there it would decrease the amount of teen eating disorders. It
would also be a more healthy way of accepting your own self-image. In the same
article, its states that “severe dieting for teens could lead to eating
disorders such as anorexia and bulimia”.
Teens might want to reconsider dieting if its not necessary after
knowing this. It might also change the minds of other people who think that
major dieting or inappropriate isn’t a big issue, which brings me to my second
reason why it is necessary.
Some
people may argue that if you think that you are under weight, then there are no
limitations to how much you eat or if you think that you are over weight, then
a great restriction to how much you eat is a good thing and that and that being
neglectful on making sure that you have a healthy diet is not a big deal.
Studies state, “Dieting to extremes may cause anorexia nervosa”. This shows that dieting isn’t always a good
thing. Hopefully it would change the minds of people who think that not eating
is a good way to loose weight. According to Carre Otis, a victim of an eating
disorder who recovered, “I decided if I ate less I could somehow postpone not
only my bodily changes but perhaps I could avoid greater unknown”. If she kept
thinking this then she might not have had recovered from her eating disorder. Its
also shows that not only teens but their parents should worry about their kids
diet because if someone haven’t helped her, then she would still be on that
strict diet causing her eating disorder and this also brings me to another
topic.
Usually
when teens get over an eating disorder, they usually don’t go through it alone
but there are times when they are the cause of the eating disorder. That is why
parents should help their teens with their eating disorder. An article from
shepellfgi.com says, “Guardians or relatives critical of a young person’s
weight or body shape can lead to low self-esteem”. Low self-esteem is one of
the major causes of getting an eating disorder. If the parents where to be more
sensitive about he young persons weight or body then they would have avoided
the young person having low self-esteem. From the same article, it states, “there
are genetic links to anorexia, bulimia, and bing eating“. If this is true then
having a parent or anyone would help teens go through the trouble of having an
eating disorder in there genetics. Parents are also responsible for their teen’s
health.
That
is why teen eating disorders is a major dilemma in todays society that is
usually caused by a disapproval of someone’s self image, and that is why not
only teens but parents should watch on the amount of food their teens eat
weather it be too much or to little. Some teens would do anything to have a
body that society would accept. And that is the reason why teens would do
anything to perfect their physical features.

1.
For 4 years now, not seeing his own children, not even being able to be there for the youngest son’s 1st birthday, it was now the time. As he raced across the basketball field, the only thing in his mind was how ecstatic his children will be for the next few weeks. All he can think about is how long he has never seen them how not even thinking of leaving.
2.
After all the training that the docile team went through, they never want the outcome to be insipid as their last game. As the crowed jeered for the game winning point, the team couldn’t afford to be on their temerity side. It ended with the team captains spiking towards the opponent’s face and that’s when crowds rear took over the gigantic stadium.
3.
After giving her victim an alcoholic libation, it was now time to get her wrathful revenge. Her victim, being the dogmatic person he is, refused to stay still. So she taped his babbling mouth shut. Then, without hesitation, he shot him across the temple of his mouth. she then just sat their seeing his light red blood seeping down his face.
4.
After all the training that the docile went through, they couldn't afford to lose this one game. Every play that the team has executed, the crowd jeered to see who would win the finals. But one player has changed the outcome of the game. With 6 seconds remaining and the scores tied, Kobe Bryant took the final shot. The game ended with the opponent team who suddenly went on their temerity side. Kobe Bryant made history with his historical peformance.
5. When night came abroad, Jessica couldn't sleep right away. The ignominy tended to be on her mind. A libration made her emaciated. Jessica pushed her friend off the balcony without knowing what she was doing. After this happened, that is when Jessica became castigated. The thought that her friend has unfortunately passed corrupted her mind so bad that even the alcoholic beverage wasn't strong enough to make her forget. As she lays down on her bed to a sleepless night, her eyes replayed the the memory that will scar her for life.
