  • Very good...

    Quite well written, with only a few grammatical errors. The only thing I wasn't too keen on was the lack of detail.If someone had never read the book, how are they to know who is who?But all in all, a very well written report.

  • *:sits in stunned silence:*

    What just happened? (pause) I felt (pause) as though I was being sucked into (pause) this senseless void (pause) devoid of all (pause) logic.Geez, with all the pauses in there, it's a wonder you haven't broken the Space/Time Continuum.In layman's terms... OW! My brain is broken!

    A good essay. But I wish there was a little more to it. "What cancer is" and "how it's caused" is good, but I was left wanting more.My Grandfather died of pancreatic cancer, so this was kind of hard to read. But a good essay nonetheless. Bravo!

  • Kawaii (sweet)...

    I can relate to the losing-the-pet thing. I had eight hermit crabs once when I was really young. They all died within two weeks.I wonder if maybe it was the lack of food that did them in? I'll guess I'll never know. Gee, I still remember their names.Old Bay, Crunky, Sun, Sand, Surf, Spike, Little Aramis, and Crunky Jr.About the "Crunky" name, don't ask... it's a long story.

  • Brilliant?

    First off, I want to say that I am a Bible-believing Baptist. And what I'm about to say is based on a "scientific" approach to this English written essay.First off, the world is only between 6,000-8,000 years old, not millions. Science has proven that, though it's not a popular discovery, and not well documented.Second, why would God have created us at all, if He knew so many problems would have resulted from our existence? You do not address this issue.Thirdly, if you are truly an atheist, why do you refer to God as though He exists?Fourth, although you claim the story of Noah to be "ludicrous," you failed to mention the reason that God brought the Flood to the world.Fifth, you claim that there is no "scientific" proof that there is a God. Yet scientists HAVE deduced that the odds of this world, and everything in it, existing without the aid of some other "help" are about 10 to the 65th power. In layman's terms that's:1/100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. If you ask me, THAT'S kind of hard to believe.Sixth, the Bible is the ONLY BOOK EVER WRITTEN, in which science has never been able to explain away.My point? Before you go around saying the Bible isn't real, and that Jesus is a fairy tale, do your homework, and study the right facts. Make sure you research your work thoroughly and provide evidence to back up your claim.I rate this essay as average, not because my beliefs contradict yours, but because this essay had no "scientific proof" to discredit God's existence. Well written; few errors, but no proof to back up your claim. This would certainly not hold up in a court of law.

    Some very good points, but a little too short for such a momentous subject. I would have liked to have seen some different viewpoints on what other "experts" have to say.I am a Baptist, so I believe in a literal Heaven, and a literal Hell.An interesting read, but would have been better if it was longer.

  • Hmm...

    Your essay is well written. But...I must ask you, in his position, what would you have done? The problems with Iraq actually date back to Bill Clinton's Presidency. It's said that the whole 9/11 incident could have been avoided had Clinton not sent Bin Laden back to his homeland. This, you forgot to mention.I suggest that, next time you think a leader's decision unwise, do a bit of research on the situations BEFORE that individual came into a leadership postion, and why he had to make that decision.

    I can honestly say, I've been there and felt like that. But I wasn't picked on because of my race; it was because of my beliefs. I was the only born-again Christian in the whole public school, so I too was a target. And it did hurt. Very perceptive and emotional. Good job.

  • Death Penalty...

    First of all, though your essay was short, it was to the point. However, you ask too many questions that are not answered. I know you're trying to get the reader to think about what you're saying, but too many questions can ruin an essay. My English professor told me, "Only write two questions per 1000 words. Out of those two questions, madatorally answer both of them."Second of all, your essay is very closed. Though it gives good facts, you seem to be vaguely opinionated. Is this a position essay, or an essay on the facts and statistics of the death penalty?In conclusion, I AM a born-again believer, and I DO believe in the death penalty. As to whether or not I'd personally carry out an execution, I wouldn't put myself into a position where I HAD to carry it out. I don't enjoy watching people get hurt or die. I know it seems I had a lot to say about what was wrong with the essay, but the correlation of your facts and the length of your essay left a little too much to be desired.

  • Nice...

    Interesting transitions, and -being a poet myself- I'm good at seeing deeper meanings. One thing that didn't sit well with me was the quick transitions from season to season. They were just a little too fast.Also, you kind of switched from an "objective" form of speech, to a "personal" form of speech. The phrase "Again I see you" is personifying the seasons, yet the rest of the poem denotes that the seasons are objects. This, I know, is hard to separate, but it's a must for a poem to be effective. Keep writing your poetry. I'll always be there to give an honest rating.

  • For those of you who are wondering...

    The first-place story was written by my best friend in school. His story was something about a man trying who thinks someone is trying to kill him, but he doesn't know who or why. He just keeps hearing these hints being dropped that something's going to happen to him. In the end, it turns out to be a suprise birthday party. It was actually pretty good, and I know it deserved first place.

  • Pro-Choice?

    \"So it makes most sense to let people do with their own bodies as they please.\"1 Corinthians 6:20,21What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, WHICH ARE GOD\'S.You are right, Jesus is not the President; He\'s the Creator. For who is it that allows the woman to become pregnant? God knows the exact number of hairs on your head, and He knows the moment a child is conceived. We discuss the rights of individuals, yet what of the rights of an individual who cannot even know what kind of a world he will be born into. We are not our own. If we were, we would have no need of God\'s Laws at all. You present a good argument; and, although I strongly disagree, your argument is well written. I\'m sorry if I offend anyone.
