Its better to save money for future Some people like to live a lavish life style, and some don’t. When it comes to spending money majority usually don't think about the future. They just want to spend all their money as soon as they have earned. One reason is retirement. Although I believe if one spend all money living a good life, by driving an expensive car, and living in a big house, you won’t have saving that means you will have difficulty in the future. For instance, my grandpa always taught us to save money. He said whatever I earned at least take a one dollar out each day and by the time the month ends I will have thirty dollars in my pocket without realizing. My grandpa has passed away, but he had seven children and none of them took care of him. I realized that if he hadn’t had savings he would not have enjoyed his retirement. He was very happy despite not having support of his children. For example, he used to go for a vacation every summer with my grandma. That is all because of his hard work since he save all his life instead of spent all money. The second reason is emergencies. No one knows what will happen next. We should have our savings in case of an emergency. One of my friend is like super advance. She drives an expensive car, always wears very expensive clothes like "Armani" and used to eat out at high class restaurants. I believe that she like to live a very lavish life and spend all of her salary on herself. For example, just the other day I was with my friend and was going to the mall, suddenly her tire got flat and we had to call the towing service. At that time I was surprised because I thought she belonged to a wealthy family since she always acted like she is rich but in reality she did not had enough money to simply fix the tire. She just spends all the money on the unnecessary purchases. Despite all these advantages, some individuals want to live their life like royalty. They may have a compulsive nee dot purchase items, however, they still need to be conscious and responsible. If not, in my opinion if one's doesn't save money all their life, so they might have trouble after the retirement.

Anne Frank

...ANNE FRANK by DylanWilliams I want to write about Anne Frank because her story is just to horrifying especially to a teenager. I couldn’t image how scared she would be. Especially when you stay in an attic for 2 years, you don’t know what is going on, and youre clueless to the outside world. I don’t understand how she went two years of staying inside when I can only do it for a couple of days. Not only was she up there but she had to be quiet during the day so no one will know they are up in the attic. Naother reason I want to write about her. Her story is mjust unbelievablde and catches the readers attention and keeps you on the edge of your seat. And once youre drawn in there is no losing interest. The rising action and conflict is so powerful that it will have you biting your nails. And this story has done those things for over 68 years. The fact that she could have gone on to be one of the greatestwriters in the world, or went on to start a revoluition on the haulocaust. There are many what ifs to her story.

When a story has love,warfare, and family, its kind of hard not to write about...

Anne Frank

...Annelies Marie Frank, author of The Diary of a Young Girl, focuses mainly on the idea of loneliness of adolescence. This book was originally written as a diary then later published by Frank’s father, Otto Frank, to fulfill his daughter’s wish after she passed away. Because this book was written in first person point of view and falls under the non-fiction category, I believe that the strongest things about this book is that it is able to leave an impact to the society as well as a dark past that the youth should educate themselves on. Other than that, I was able to connect to the writer’s story, as it felt very realistic never minding the fact that it is indeed a relic of history. Written by Anne Frank, this book tells a story of self-discovery, isolation, survival, suffering, and death during the World...

Frank Zappa's Accuracy

...Frank Zappa’s testimony on the topic of labeling specifically rock music that was seen as explicit by the PMRC was unforgettable. His testimony instead of persuading the senate to not allow explicit labels on rock music showcased his argument as vague and off topic at times. Since most of Frank Zappa’s argument is petty jabs at the PMRC and its founders, it is hard to pinpoint exactly what he did well. Frank Zappa’s testimony was truly a disaster until the very end. He seemed to have almost no interest in the actual topic of the court case about labeling rock music explicit in the future records to come. Instead, he seemed to have his own agenda which included verbal attacks on the founders of the PMRC and their spouses. An example...

In the play The Diary of Anne Frank by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, we learn about Anne Frank and the people she was in hiding with such as Mrs. Van Daan. I find Mrs. Van Daan hopeless and theatrical. Anne Frank was a positive and optimistic teen. My favorite character in the play is Anne, while Mrs. Van Daan is my least favorite. I chose Mrs. Van Daan as my least favorite character because she was overly dramatic. She is hard to take when she was so dramatic about things and I would find it very hard to live with her.
