Introductions:
- As the years go by so does the advancement of movies. Scary movies become scarier, romantic movies become more romantic, and action packed movies become more powerful. Movies are such a big part of our lives, which have been carried on for centuries. It is empirical that the movie theaters are such a place that we could enjoy the products of creative minds. Nowadays movies reflect our interest and create productions based off what is popular at a specific time.
- The time between now and a future event, accumulates an unbearable amount of anxiety and anticipation. One thing you could only wish for is for time to fly. American writer, Tennessee Williams, even mentions that time is the longest distance between two places. Time will not literally fly, but there are ways to make it feel as though it does. There are four simple steps to make time feel like it is, in fact flying. You can make a long period of time; feel like no time at all.
- Decision making is one the most difficult things you could ever have to endure. It can be upsetting, be consuming, or be rewarding. In the end though, do you want to believe you made the right decision or someone else made that decision for you? Do you want to be able to give yourself the credit for success or someone else? You want to believe that you chose the right path, that you conquered the battle, that you won the game all by yourself. Making a decision can be the biggest struggle to mankind.
Supporting Paragraphs:
- The Notebook, The Last Song, and The Lucky One are romantic movies that transform a teenage love into a true meaning. Nicholas Sparks is a man of vivid romantic movies and decorative love stories. Channing Tatum states in the movie The Vow the words, "I vow no matter what challenges might carry us apart that we will always find a way back to each other.” How else can one not fall in love with him? When watching a romance, Marla Pachter covers the idea that you cannot help but only imagine yourself among the reality of the episode. Romantic movies are the epitome of a teenage girls dream.
- It is all in your actions, lounging around like a lazy person is the antithesis to any attempt to make time fly. A simple step towards getting involved in your community will help release the anticipation. By finding a local hospital or school and doing a little bit of work every week, can take advantage of free time you may have. If unpaid work is not good enough for you, get motivated and step forth into the work force. Jobs are looking for an epitome of you, a young and ambitious worker, they can pay minimum wage. The choice is solely yours!
- You live a precious life, a life of memories and experience. Throughout your life, you have to make some of the biggest decisions. What college will you attend? What job will you choose? How many kids will you have? Where will you live? Decisions you will look back on in fifty years and question why you ever did them or value the impact they may still have on your life at that point. Everything you do involves decisions, decisions, decisions. In America you are given the freedom to elicit the most desirable choice or if you prefer to garner the less desirable route, let the decision be yours. Get rid of the “I don’t know” mentality and throw in the ebullient and precious decision that you are most proud of. Being indecisive and unable to decide for yourself gives another person the right to choose your potential. This gives someone else something to be proud of rather than yourself. Be the one you reward for your success or at least learn from your mistakes, if that is the outcome, and run with it.
Conclusions:
- It is common to have an animosity for choosing a movie; however, the only opinion that matters is that of the viewer. Some people have their definition of which movie pertains to which category. Movies nowadays are so lavish due to technology and would be the reason all genres appear to different people in many different ways. There is always a meaning behind the movie. An outcome in the end always emanates from the movie even though they are all so different.
- Warning, too much effort to make time fly will cause you to become stressed. Do not set yourself up for more than you can truly handle! Join the work force or relax at home. Simply find something that can keep you busy and keep your mind off the future. It can be a matter of a few simple steps that can get you there faster. Find your priority and time will in fact fly.
- Napoleon Bonaparte writes the words, “Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.” Decision making can be the most difficult of challenges but in the end can be very rewarding. Let yourself decide the life you live, the dreams you follow, and the road you choose. Your life is as precious as you make it. What will your next decision be?
Examples of Diction:
- "do u luv me? OMG how much?" (This was the piece written from the point of view of a text messenger. Usually within a text message there are improper uses of grammar and spelling.)
- "we r soul mates! ;)" (Unlike in a formal essay, text messages have smiley faces and emojis that would never be seen in an essay.)
- "i will luv u 4ever & always" (The use of the symbol for "and" was used rather than the actually word. This is commonly seen as slang used for texting.)

1. Description Essay - Time Can Fly
The time between now and a future event, accumulates an unbearable amount of anxiety and anticipation. One thing you could only wish for is for time to fly.

If unpaid work is not good enough for you, get motivated and step forth into the work force. Jobs are looking for an epitome of you, a young and ambitious worker, they can pay minimum wage. The choice is solely yours!
Some believe that time will never fly. C.S Lewis states, “The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour.” Time will never actually fly, but it can definitely feel like it. Non-work related actions help contribute to the feeling as well. Sleeping puts you in a moment, allowing you to relax and get your mind away from the world. If sleeping is not your thing, get involved in an action filled book. You will remain in full attention to the story and time will pass. Professor Anthony G. Oettinger claims, “Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.”
Warning, too much effort to make time fly will cause you to become stressed. Do not set yourself up for more than you can truly handle! Join the work force or relax at home. Simply find something that can keep you busy and keep your mind off the future. It can be a matter of a few simple steps that can get you there faster. Find your priority and time will in fact fly.

As the years go by so does the advancement of movies. Scary movies become scarier, romantic movies become more romantic, and action packed movies become more powerful. Movies are such a big part of our lives, which have been carried on for centuries. It is empirical that the movie theaters are such a place that we could enjoy the products of creative minds. Nowadays movies reflect our interest and create productions based off what is popular at a specific time.
Scary movies are never actually scary. This specific category of movies includes the horror intended movies that make people scared for their life. Scary movies are always a letdown, but everyone still goes to see them. Joss Whedon agrees with this stating that “Horror movies do not exist unless you go and see them, and people always will.” Numerous Paranormal Activity movies have been released, where a camera is shown viewing a house that is haunted. Ridiculous happenings occur and people are shown screaming for their lives. Other scary horror movies include Insidious and Sinister. Scary movies are garish, but box office worthy.
The Notebook, The Last Song, and The Lucky One are romantic movies that transform a teenage love into a true meaning. Nicholas Sparks is a man of vivid romantic movies and decorative love stories. Channing Tatum states in the movie The Vow the words, "I vow no matter what challenges might carry us apart that we will always find a way back to each other.” How else can one not fall in love with him? When watching a romance, Marla Pachter covers the idea that you cannot help but only imagine yourself among the reality of the episode. Romantic movies are the epitome of a teenage girls dream.
Race cars flying down the road, trains crashing through buildings, and men falling from rooftop. Action movies consist of a hero thrown into a series of challenges to fulfill. Action filled movies are only getting more powerful in today’s movie industry. Superman, Batman, and Ironman have been ranked among the top of the list for action movies for decades now. Manabu Ozawa from Japan says that actions movies can be at blame for violence seen in public today because they are closer to reality than any other movie. The constant bang of the gun and thrill of the challenges faced within action movies keep the viewer’s intact. Megan Fox states, “I still like the run and gun action movies and how truly dangerous it can be to make these films.” Movies can be classified into categories that include the different genres.

4. Argumentative Paper - Make Too Much Money in a Year?
Federal Aid benefits are unequally distributed among the population of America limiting the ability for students to be able to afford college. The federal government offers grants, which are payments in forms of money that do not have to be paid back in the end. Grants are available to everyone at certain circumstances. Those who meet a larger quantity of standards receive the money in larger amounts than those who only meet a minimum. Student loans are another option where the government has made deals with lenders on a low fixed interest rate. The price of college is going up drastically each year, making it more difficult for students to attend universities. Federal Aid should be equally available to all students attending college.
Money is a big deal to everyone in the modern society. To attain the perfect job and make the money is the epitome for everyone and forever will be. The typical strategy to conquering this dream is go to college and major in the ideal subject that leads to that million dollar job, but it is easily the most deceiving thing ever. According to the College Board stated in Issues and Controversies “College Tuition Costs”, “In 2003, the average cost of tuition at four-year public colleges rose 13%.” With a huge lump sum of money that goes into the efforts to reach the goals of making the “big bucks”, college debt is something every student has to battle. Parents are a huge asset to paying for college, but with the increase being so dramatic, students are seeking part-time jobs to help pay for college. With a difficult challenge to find a job in the modern society, students are finding the search to be unsuccessful. A degree may not be a goal of everyone’s; the nation has seen an increase in Americans going to school to meet the demands of jobs requiring a degree.
The debt that comes with a college education is absurd. Studies have shown that the debt acquired through college adds up to be almost the amount they would have made working the job they are seeking a degree (“College Tuition Costs”). The American Government has shown an effort at one point to assist students in going to school, but that was back after WWII with the GI Bill. Military Veterans were given the opportunity to attend school free of charge. Today, students receive money based off their fiscal income and taxes paid, whether their parents or individually. Make too much money in a year? Less assistance received from the government. Former Senator John Edwards in “Student Loan Programs Debated” states “we have to use taxpayer money efficiently,” and "that money shouldn't be used to provide subsidies to lenders but to get kids in college." The increase in interest rates on student loans are added fears on top of the debt already owed.
Americans should all have equal and substantial opportunities to seek the education best for them. Critics of the American Government as stated in “Updated: College Tuition Costs” believe that “when low-income students are unable to attend college, they lag behind their peers in the amount of money that they are able to earn upon graduation” going on to state that it only creates a greater inequality in the society. Money, money, and more money, but the only thing to hold someone back from going to college. Increasing the cost to attend college has only increased the fear of actually attending. Students have set back their goals, their dreams, and their potential in this society all due to the cost of going to college. Government efforts to make college more affordable and equally available are necessary. Whether the decision to do so or to not, all students should at least have the opportunity.
Poor or rich, a person has the same potential as the person standing next to them. Interest rates should remain low and lenders should remain positive in efforts to encourage students to attend college. The government should focus more on sending people to college rather than raising the taxes to do so. In effort to be generous in all grants to Americans, standards to be met in order to receive a larger payment of money should not be needed. Excitement for the future is destroyed by the fear and upset found in coming up with a way to pay for college. Federal Aid should be available to all students in an equal manner.
