Narrative and descriptive essays have an identical objective, communicating to the reader. While they may seem to be identical, there are several things that distinguish the two organs. For instance, narrative style is usually based on a personal experience and uses the first person tense. In academic learning, the use of first person is not highly fostered and this makes narrative essay less effective (Feng & Checkett, 2014, p. 89). In addition, it communicates shallow message to the reader and is vivid. For instance, in the essay I want a wife by Judy Brady the narrator uses first person tense throughout the essay. This is a good example of narrative essay. Although the reader can barely understand why the narrator wants a wife and why they choose to go to school, the essay does not communicate effectively (Brady 1972, 15). An effective writer does not allow the reader to make conclusive ideas about their work. Narrative essay is evidently, less…

As of November 20, 2014, same –sex marriage has been legalized in 35 out of 50 U.S. states. Same-sex marriage is a hot topic which the Supreme Court is considering to legalize. Many people say a homosexual person is a sinner. The question is do homosexual people choose his or her gender? They were born that way and they are happy with their lives. Homosexual people are nothing unlike heterosexual people. They are living, they are working, and they contribute to society. Proponents state that same-sex couples should have access to the same marriage benefits and public acknowledgment enjoyed by heterosexual couples and that prohibiting gay marriage is unconstitutional discrimination. On the other side, opponents argue that altering the traditional definition of marriage as between a man and a woman will further weaken a threatened institution and that legalizing gay marriage is a slippery downhill way that may lead to polygamous and interspecies marriages (gaymarriage.procon.org). All people in the world should understand the meaning of marriage, whether a same-sex marriage or a traditional marriage. For that reason, same-sex marriage should be considered as a legal marriage because it is an equal right for humankind and beneficial for society as well as preventing youth suicide.…
