My friend David owned a motorcycle. It is not a big one‚ but it could reach a really dangerous speed. Just to remind those who like speeding‚ it is hazardous for you and other road users if you are speeding on the road.

In Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl‚ there is no doubt that Linda Brent is a hero. In Janice Daniel’s literary criticism‚ “A New Kind of Hero: Harriet Jacob’s‚” she presents the different types of hero Linda is.
