Patriot Pen Essay

I am proud of my country, but not some of the decisions it has made. There has been some hard times in the past but we have grown stronger from them. I am also proud of the people who have died for our country in the many wars we have been in. Many young men have died in these wars to keep our country safe.

The things that I was not proud of that our country did was how long it took to react to an oil spill and the other natural disasters. Why do we help other countries during natural disasters even when we are still recovering from one. The people in New Orleans are still recovering from Hurricane Katrina and we are off saving people in other countries. We need to help ourselves before we help others.

The things I am proud of are how we have a lot of allies in the world, and how we are the first ones to help other countries. By helping these other countries we get their trust in return. That way if our country gets hit with another hurricane or earthquake, other countries will be there to help us.

I am proud of the men and woman in other countries. They deserve our respect, each and every one of them. They are risking their lives for our country and in return the clearly deserve respect. I honor every man and woman who has fought and died for this country throughout history, and everyone else should too.

Tell-Tale Heart Essay

The murderer in the story Tell-Tale Heart tries to convince you that he is a sane person. However, this guy is full blown psycho who needs to be put in a mental hospital and be put in a straight jacket in a room with foam walls and floors. He killed a man just because he had a weird eye which wasn’t he old man’s fault, and he goes and suffocates this poor man with a mattress and cuts his body into pieces. There is no way this man could be sane, he is completely wacko.

The murderer in the story Tell-Tale Heart, who throughout the story tries to convince you that he is sane, retells the story of how he killed an old man. He did not hate this old man, he actually like him, but the old man had a bad eye that drove the killer insane. In the beginning the murderer says that he believes he has super human hearing. That already would make you think there was something wrong with him. For a week the murderer stalks this old man, learning where he sleeps and what his routine is. To me, that is pretty scary. So eventually he kills the poor old man, suffocating him to death. He then cuts the body up in the bath tub and hides the parts underneath the floorboards. He cut the body up in the bathtub to wash away the blood and leave no trace of the old man. He believes that instead of him being insane for that, he says that he is sane because only a sane person would have been so smart to take all the precautions he took. Personally I believe that it doesn't matter, he still killed a man for practically no reason.

I believe that the murderer is insane. I think this is true because of how he stalked the old man, hated the old man because of his most likely diseased eye, and then killed him because of it. That is enough to show that he is truly insane.

Persuasive Essay

There are many laws that some people may argue about and do not believe in. For me, one of those is the law that it’s illegal to be in possession of an airsoft gun in the village of Pewaukee. I think this law is a stupid law because airsofting is completely safe as long as you wear eye protection whenever using or around anyone with an airsoft gun. As long as people are responsible and not firing at people walking by the person’s house, everything would be fine.
There are some reasons why airsofting may be illegal like the fact that if you get shot in the eye you will most likely be blind, but if they would wear safety goggles they would not become blind. The owners of these guns would have to be responsible and not stupid. If they would not remove the orange tips off their guns that symbolize airsoft and paintball guns, these guns wouldn’t be mistaken for real and dangerous weapons. Along with that, these guns are completely safe. The worst that could possibly happen is the little plastic bb making you bleed just a little bit. Nobody has ever died from airsofting and they never will because it’s safe.
I believe I have said some strong statements that show that airsofting should be legalized. I strongly believe this law in Pewaukee should be removed, that and the law you can’t drive go-karts but that’s another story.

Airsoft bb's

Multicolored, relaxing, warm, round, smooth, soothing, hard, smell like burning rubber, painful

The Dark and The Light

From the dark
And to the Light
Then Back again
Life goes on
From a sunny day
To a shadowy night
From a sports field
To a hospital bed
To a dreary day
In a cemetary
As a casket is lowered
Into the dark ground
An eternal sleep
That's not so sound
But still life goes on
Back to a sunny day
Trying to push the dark away
But it comes back
It always does
Then it's back to te hospital
Hoping for the best
But expecting the worst
For where there is light
The dark will seek
As death may be life
And life death again reaps

Casey at the Bat Review

I think Casey at the Bat is a good story because it isn’t a happily ever after story, it is more realistic because every game has a loser, and only one team can win. In this case they didn’t win. This story is a little depressing but it’s Casey’s fault because he was too stubborn to swing at the first two. A strike is a strike but you might as well swing.
