Hammurabi’s Code: Was it just? Imagine this: you are walking around in an outdoor market when you feel someone take your wallet. You turn around and you see a person. You accuse them of stealing your wallet and it gets taken to trial‚ when right in the middle a person comes in and confesses to the crime. Suddenly‚ the current trial ends and a new trial begins: against you. The judge decides to cut your hands off for falsely accusing someone while the thief gets away scot-free (Journey Across Time)

Katy Cibulka Haag College Composition 27 January 2013 Just Your Average Snow Day In grade school‚ snow days were the absolute best part of the winter months and living in Missouri promised at least a few per year. One particular day in third grade stands out in my mind as the best snow day of all. Any kid could tell you how a snow day begins; waking up at the regular time and groggily recalling the forecast from the night before‚ we would run to the window and peer out to see the blinding white

seriously created a contest for everything we do. This past winter break the two of us played “Just Dance” almost everyday to see who would come out victorious. She took it to a whole new level when the two of us got back home from swim practice‚ tired and sore. We pushed through the pain‚ neither one of us were willing to give up even though our legs could barely hold us up from the kicks we did at practice. Just Dance is not the only thing we compete over.
