PEE Paragraph
When constructing the new world trade center they will move restrooms and a sandwhich shop up closer to the workers. They will do this to save time and so the workers won't have to take so much time going back down for breaks. This will help get the world trade center done quicker.

Forgiveness
I believe that the captain should be forgiven all he was trying to do was get the ship to the New York harbor as quick as possible. The captain should have been more cautious of the iceburgs since he had been warned that there were more than normal, he should've had the officers warn the men so that they could help the women and children to the life boats. The officers should have gone back to help the drowning people but i think that they all should've been forgiven.

Good Literature
Many people have opinions on what texts should be considered good literature. One text that should be considered good literatureis the novel Of Mice And Men, because of the readers vizualization of Georges inner conflict.
Readers and writers wonder what good literature is. In Steinbeck's speech he states that good literature consists of the human heart in conflict with itself and this seemed like the only subject worth writing about. The resolution of fear is a large part of a writers reason or reasons for being. The present universal fear inspires types of good writing from knowledge and munipulation from dangerous factors in the physical world. Many people such as myself think that good literature is writing that has various subjects from knowledge or experiences to inspire it. Good literature consists of parts of the human heart in conflict with itself and universal fear that is present because many subjects can be grasped from these ideas or conflicts.
One situation in the novel is George's inner conflict with himself. George told Lennie that his life would be so much better without having to take care of and look after him. When Lennie wanted ketchup with his beans George told him that they did not have any. Although Lennie liked ketchup with his beans he told George he did not want any of it and he would give it all to George. George told him that he would have a swell time without him. Lennie said " you want I should go away and leave you alone", " I could live in a cave in those hills." George was wanting Lennie to be less of a hassle and to be smarter than he was. Lennie was the only thing keeping Georege from having his own place and maybe even a woman. George was being drug down by Lennie he loved him, but just wanted to do his own thing without him.
Another situation in the novel is the physical fear Lennie had towards Curley. Curley got mad at Lennie whene he was smiling at the rememberence of the memory or having rabbits. Curley had gone to look for his wife and thought Slim might have been with her of seen her in the barn. Slim and Curley were yelling when they came back in the bunk house and Curley asked Lennie what the hell he was laughing at. He started punching Lennie, but Lennie would not hit him back. George told Lennie to get him so he grabbed Curley's hand and cruched it. Lennie was just scared when Curley started hit him, but when he grabbed Curley's hand he would not let go. George told Lennie that it was ok and Curley deserved it.
The situations stated from the novel and info fromm the speech show how Of Mice And Men could be considered good literature. The novel also consists of many situations Steinbeck said would influence good literature.

Historical Main Street
On Historical Main St. in Batesville, AR I can Smell the exhaust of the vehicles mixed with the drifting smell of popcorn popping on a Friday night. I can taste the popcorn on my tongue as I watch movies with friends. I can hear a train roll by as it travels from place to place. As I walk up the wide sidewalk and go into a furniture store, I can see the leather chairs and couches. When I sit in the chairs I can feel the smoothness of the leather. When I'm at this place these are the things I keep in my head about Histrorical Main St..

Terrorist Talk
The terorists that attacked the U.S. on September 11, 2001 talked to their god different than most people. They told their god to take his anger out on the enemy and asked him to protect them from the enemy's evils. It is wrong to a persons god and ask him to punish people. The terrorist were not protected by thier god in this attack.

I am
I am
I am athletic and sarcastic
I wonder how well i will do in school
I hear dogs barking
I see lots of animals
I want a new truck
I am athletic and sarcastic
I pretend to be interested in school
I feel tired at school
I touch the fur of a deer
I worry about failing school
I cry when family members die
I am atheletic and sarcastic
I understand.... a few classes
I say not to be lazy
I dream of hunting
I try to stay awake in boring classes
I hope to pass english
