Kimberly Witt Mount Vernon High School
Mount Vernon High School is located in a town of approximately 4,000 people in Southwest Missouri. My participating students will be in a College Prep English course. We will be focusing on the principles of persuasive writing.
Stripping a child of their right to live is wrong in all ways. Every person should be able to have the chance to be the next great American, and by killing them before birth, they will never get that chance. Abortion is wrong, and our country should not stand for it.
Homosexuals in our society are not getting any less rights than other citizens.
This is a persuasive letter to the future president about the status of our economy. The letter will explain how I personally view the current state of our economy and what I think should be done to improve it.
The energy crisis is a growing disaster in our great nation. In this letter to the future president I refer to both sides of the problem, both Democratic and Republican. I list in detail the different plans put forward by both candidates and how they will effect our country.
As a strong believer of embryonic stem cell research I will be quick to say it should be allowed BUT only with restrictions. I personally find that the pro's of this type of research greatly outweigh the con's, and I hope that my argument for it will persuade you the same.
Dear Mr. President, Over backwards I bent, To find something to tell you about, What I feel will give you no doubt. I have some great plans So many dreams and I cans. The baby will get in the way, Abortion is all I can think to say. Mommy, I’m growing, And I’ve also been thinking. To hear your voice speak to me, Your face is all I want to see.
One of the major topics in our presidential election is abortion. I am pro-life which means I do not support abortion for any reason. There are facts that might make you want to reconsider your stance if you support abortion. I believe abortion is wrong, and should be illegal
How often in society do we see discrimination of gays and lesbians? It's about time we finally accept same-sex couples into our society and give them equal benefits of heterosexual couples.
Many view same-sex marriage as impossible. Many believe it should not be allowed. How can one person prevent millions of others from being happy, from being seen as equal.
Something needs to be done about the rising gas prices. It costs Everyday Americans way too much money to fill up their gas tank. There are solutions to the problem. We just have to work together to come up with the solutions to the problems and find a way to better the economy.
As the death penalty is a punishment for major crimes there might be a better way to handle these problems. The cost isn't the only major issue, but the families that have to go through these terrifying problems is unthinkable.
Protect the 2nd Amendment! Just banning the hand gun is not going to be as effective as controlling the sells of guns and ammunition. People have guns for reasons other than killing. and if a criminal wanted to get their hands on a weapon and they couldn't get a hand gun they would go for other guns im sure. They cannot ban hand guns without infringing our right to bear them!
As you know, pregnancy often leads to the birth of an infant. To add to that thought, abortion seems to be the answer for most teen and adult women.
The death penalty offers a mild solution to today's prison overpopulation problem. Although the numbers of prisoners on death row are few in comparison to the general population of the prisons, the elimination of certain criminals will have, I believe, a positive effect on the population problem as well as potential inmates. Every year the number of inmates exponentially increases, and utilizing the death penalty, in my opinion, is one way to solve a problem.
Susie Mae lives in the outskirts of St. Louis, Missouri where she was forced to relocate schools due to her current school being closed. You see, just this year nine public schools have been shut down in St. Louis because there was not enough funding for the schools to stay open .
As I walk through the halls every day during school I am constantly reminded that we as Americans are becoming increasingly overweight. Whether it's from lack of exercise or possibly due to the current job they posses; the results are blatantly clear.
I believe that abortion is totally and completely wrong. In my essay I back up my point of view on abortion with facts about the mother's health during and after an abortion, facts about the fetus, and about the main types of abortions.
Because there is such a stress on education and its importance, I believe there should be more strenuous standards set for teachers. We should put an emphasis on character and how teachers interact with students, not just what they're teaching them.
We’ve lost 4,177 lives since the war started on March 19, 2003. The number of casualties isn’t including the number of soldiers who were wounded, which is over 100,000. Why do we have to sacrifice American lives to fight a war overseas?
A persuasive letter to the newly elected president of the United States, comparing our country as a whole to a football team, and the discipline needed to be successful.
Healthcare is rising everyday and we can't seem to control the cost.
Imagine a world without Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, JFK, FDR, Albert Einstein. Where would we be today. Would we have the same rights, the same freedoms, the same opportunities? What would the world be like if they had never been born? What would the world be like if we had never been born?
This paper is written to our next president about the issue of gay marriage. This paper touches on key aspects of the civil union of homosexuals that are very detrimental to our country and its people. Also it shows how a homosexual couple who raise a young child rob that child of it's best chance at social success.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness... Our founding fathers, by asserting this phrase into our Declaration of Independence, conveyed to us that they were interested in the individual liberties and happiness of the people. One aspect of happiness for many is their right to marriage. Currently the federal government may not treat same-sex relationships as marriages. This means that these couples are being stripped of their right to the pursuit of happiness.
No longer do I want to hear the complaints of welfare participants on their 50 cent perscriptions as they walk out to their brand new 2008 Cadillacs. In the United States we call that fraud and that is a crime for which the criminal should be punished.
Our country is at a critical point when it comes to education. Many people say that it's the government's responsibility to make sure each child receives a good education. This mentality, if taken too far, could jeopardize a parent's right to homeschool their children. I believe that homeschooling is an option every parent in America should have both now and in the future.
What is the president going to do about the next generation? Will they lower the price of college or will more than capable students still be turned away? Are we better without college?
Is it honestly necessary to kill thousands of American lives over whatever it is we are fighting for? I'm sure you are aware of the huge amount of men and women who have died in battle, but we continue to fight. For what?!
Drilling in Alaska is something that needs to be done to help the price of oil so the U.S does not have to fully rely on foreign countries.
Tons of innocent babies are being murdered everyday because they are simply unwanted. Abortion should not be used as a birth control for women in the U.S.;especially young teens. If we allow people to have birth control and not be responsible then we are promoting sex. There should be no reason to have an abortion unless in cases of rape or or risk to the mothers life.
