From the landing of the dilapidated iron staircase, Gerald, peered through the pall of cigarette smoke into the noisy nightclub. Enviously he watched, as the girl in the pink spotlight captivated the audience with her song. In the business of show business, the girl was Goldie, but to Gerald, she would always be Marigold, her given name. He had long since dismissed the diminutive, as suitable only for a chorus girl. Gerald and Marigold, from their childhood, had been part of a musical comedy show

A “Clueless” Analytical Paper The movie I decided to analyze for my analysis paper is a classic 1995 teen film called “Clueless.” The movie “Clueless” is about a young, rich, and popular teenage girl who’s life revolves around materialistic accomplishments and boys.

Mary Fisher has devoted her life to talking about Aids, so she knows all kinds of statistics; that the common union don’t know about the disease. In her speech an appeal to logos used is, “Two hundred thousand Americans are dead or dying. A million more are infected. Worldwide, forty million, sixty million, or a hundred million infections will be counted in the coming few years.” This piece of logic helps her case, the numbers grabbing the audience’s attention.

In Luke Gormally’s article on “Marriage and the Prophylactic Use of Condoms,” the background of the article is an email exchange between himself and Fr. Martin Rhonheimer in 2004.

Due to the high volumes of sexual content teenagers watch each day, a comprehensive sex education

As STDs became rampant, bureaucracies started creating programs that would inform and educate individuals about sex, its factors, and consequences. By the end of the
