Cars and SUVs

July 25, 2011
In this economy people have a really hard time deciding on type of the car they should buy. I
recently had the same problem when I was deciding if I should get something big and more
comfortable or something smaller and that wouldn't use as much gas. In this paper I will write about
pros and cons on purchasing a car or a SUV. The type of car and SUV I will write about are Nissan
Sentra and Nissan pathfinder. The reason I chose these type is because I am familiar with both of
them.
The first one I am going to talk about is Nissan Sentra. The type I am going to talk about is 2011
Nissan Sentra 2.0 SR Sedan. This type of Nissan has 16x6.5in alloy wheels, steel spare wheel

This SUV is good for big families and if you travel a lot because it's comfortable. It's true that this
SUV cost more than the regular car but you get more features with it, it's safer, and more powerful.
The best way to choose which type of vehicle to get is to see which one is going to work in long run
for you and your family.

Cleaning with Barry and Britt
The act of being habitually and carefully neat and clean can make for an interesting topic in a
comparison and contrast essay. Dave Barry compares the differences of how women and men clean
in his compare and contrast essay, Batting Clean– Up and Striking out. In Suzanne Britt's compare
and contrast essay, Neat People vs. Sloppy People she compares the differences of personalities
between Sloppy people and neat people. Both essays compare cleanliness in one way or another
however they both have differences regarding their use of humor, examples, and points made in
their thesis.

The way Barry and Britt support their points in their compare and contrast essays differ. In Batting
Clean–Up and Striking Out, Barry uses lots of personal stories and factual happenings to explain his
opinions. For example, to explain how men are worse at cleaning Barry specifically refers to a
volcano eruption that happened in Pompei because the men, who were in control of the cleaning, did
not notice ashes piling up around and in their houses. In addition, when describing how men are
better with sports than woman he refers to a personal story; specifically a story about a dinner party
that he attended where the men were glued to the World Series and the women were still chatting
amongst themselves. These forms of examples are personal stories that offer validity. On the other
hand, in Britt's Neat people vs. Sloppy people she uses more dreamt up incidences to explain her
opinions. For example when explaining how neat people are "viscous with their mail" she explains,
" All ads, catalogs, pleas for charitable contributions, church bulletins, and money–saving coupons
go straight into the trash can without being opened...No sentimental salvaging of birthday cards or
the last letter a dying relative ever wrote. Into the trash it goes" (256). As seen in this example, Britt
uses lots of lists and possible incidents that could exist to support her points, but do these incidences

Compare and Contrast Essay
Compare and Contrast
"Young Goodman Brown" and "The Lottery"
By: Melissa A. Reeves
Professor Andrew Smith
ENGL 102–B46 LUO
Thesis Statement
The stories "The Lottery" and "Young Goodman Brown" both appear to show that human behavior
and judgment can be flawed, even if the person's intentions appear good to them. There is a level of
fear and underlying evil in Puritan settings in both stories.
I. Introduction/Statement of Thesis
II. Themes and Author's Purpose A. The Lottery i. Just because something has always been done,
does not make it right or just; following the crowd can be dangerously wrong and evil. ii. The author
shows through symbolism and storytelling that people can be easily influenced

The theme of the story "The Lottery" is blind acceptance of something just because it is considered
tradition. In Jackson's "The Lottery", symbols are utilized to help show the theme. The name of the
story, "The Lottery", itself is a symbol
. The term lottery can be viewed, by most, as a good thing, a
hope in winning, but winning the lottery takes on a very different, very dark meaning in Jackson's
story. Also, the names of the characters are symbols as well. For example, Graves is a name that
would portray death and Summers is a bright and cheerful name. Also, the name Old Man Warner
would show tradition. Next, is the use of the black box and the black dot on the paper. The color
black is showing darkness, evil, and death. The tradition of the black box is a symbol, in the fact that
it is worn and faded, but still used by the villagers. Shirley Jackson conveys the theme very clearly
through the use of symbols. In the end, the villagers are shown to be evil and murderous just
because of tradition. The villagers do not seem to have a problem with murdering others within the
lottery because it is what they have always done and no one is going to declare that what they are
doing is wrong. This shows the reader that following blindly can have dangerous consequences. The
theme of "Young Brown Goodman
" is that the main character is basing his beliefs and faith on what
others in his life believe or have faith in. The theme of "Young Goodman

Dogs and Cats
A study done by The American Animal Hospital Association say; that if people were stranded on a
desert island, they would prefer the company of their pet
. Dogs and cats play a huge role in our
lives, weather it's a family pet or a human service pet. They have made their way into our homes and
our hearts with their quirky and fun loving personalities. Dogs and cats have been around for
thousands of years providing our ancestors with love and

They are messy, clumsy and will poop where ever nature calls if they are left in the house too long.
Dogs claim their territory by urinating on everything; it's a good thing they are trainable. They will
chew on just about anything that fits in their mouth; it takes love and patience to raise a dog
. But on
a good note some dogs learn to fetch your slippers when ask for them. The dog is not known for
being independent because they can not be left alone for long periods of time. They require walking
and being let out to relieve themselves a few times a day. When alone they seem sad and do not play
with their toys; unless they are chewing on something. Their lack of complexity allows the dog to
enjoy the out doors like running, pick–nicks, car rides and swimming. They are not moody and are
ready for anything. Dogs on top of being potty trained and fetching slippers they can be trained to
have human service jobs such as; police, military, fire department, rescue force, Seeing Eye dog,
explosive and drug dogs. Dogs have evolved from being wild and harming us to being our
protectors and now aid us and rescue us.
People and cats have certainly had a chequered relationship. Revered by ancient Egyptians then
reviled in the middle ages as witches' familiars, cats until recently had occupied a cozy, if often
unnoticed place in our households, (Gaille Perry, Urban Animal Management Conference
Proceedings 1999). Cats from early history were originally
