Is suicide ever the right thing to do? Imagine you’re standing atop a high bridge‚ you take a deep breath‚ say one last silent goodbye to your friends and family‚ and you leap to your death. By doing this‚ you’re making a permanent solution to a temporary problem. You may be solving your own personal problem‚ but imagine the pain‚ suffering‚ and anguish that your friends‚ family‚ and peers go through. The people around you are wondering what was going through your mind and why you did it. Maybe

If I were a bird! As a little bird-maybe a nightingale or an innocent dove-if I were born on this earth‚ I would have been very happy. As a nightingale‚ I would be adored by the people for my sweet songs. I would have built my tiny nest on the top branch of a tree. My nest would give shelter to me and my brethren. From the top of the tree‚ I could see the greenery of the fields‚ the flowing rivers and the far horizon. In a storm‚ my nest would be swung to and fro‚ without being detached from the

"[I‚ being born a woman and distressed]" by Edna St. Vincent Millay Edna St. Vincent Millay’s sonnet‚ “I‚ Being Born a Woman and Distressed‚” serves as an excellent example of a multi-faceted piece.

Added to Millay’s choice of meter and end-stop‚ along with a background of Millay’s person‚ this sonnet seems not so “simple” after all

I woke up like any other day. I sat straight up and looked around‚ as I looked I thought how in the world am I not dead yet? Everyday that we woke up alive to me was a blessed day. To many it was the worst possible thing because they all just wanted to die away from the pain. Our beds were made of concrete‚ we went to bed in pain and woke up in pain and that was my life for about 7 months. You had to get use to everyday things or else you would die away like everyone else. I didn’t want anything

The coolest thing I’ve ever done or should I say the dumbest thing I ever done was run my mother’s car into our house. It was the end of summer starting my freshman year at Destrehan High School and I wanted to do something that would have made me seem cool to the kids around the neighborhood so I decided to steal my mother’s car. My mom owned a 2002 Nissan Pathfinder that she didn’t really use‚ usually just my step dad would use it to go to work and my mom used the truck so I didn’t see a problem

I bought my first car when I was sixteen years old‚ knowing nothing but the basic tune-up skills. I bought a 1982 Datsun 280ZX for $1200.00 and couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The vehicle had only 100‚000 miles on it‚ even though it was almost thirty years old. The car ran well already but I did my best to get it running as close to new as possible. I purchased new spark plugs‚ a new air filter‚ and also bought a couple new electrical components to replace the old ones. I didn’t quite know
