From my Political Science class, Fall Freshman year of College: The ability to vote is an overwhelming power. If used, a community can be extremely successful. On the other hand, the power can destroy a community if ignored. More often than not, however, the latter occurs. In these cases, the most harmful event can happen, the loss of hope. The people of the community can feel there is nothing better but this is untrue. Voting can bring upon a brighter tomorrow. ...

Super Hero or Vigilante? Beyond normal; excedes all set standards. One who is looked up to; has special abilities. A person or persons who aid in the stopping and/or punishing of criminals. Which one or ones sounds like a super hero such as Batman? The second one is the best definition of him. But this is the definition of a vigilante. Of the modern super heroes, only a few of them are like the first true super hero, Superman. Being incredibly helpful and non-violent led him to be the standard of all heros since Odysseus. The only problem is not all heros are like this. ...
My name is Gregory Walsh, Greg to my friends and Groegory to the Department of Motor Vehicles. I think I was named after Greg Brady by Earth paents. Tom and Denise adopted me after I was found on the side of the road near my Martian ship. I'm only kidding, my parents are from Mars, too. To fully understand me, let's look at my life. I was born in Pennsylvania on December 6, 1974 at a very young age. My parents moved me into a quainte townhouse where our neighbors were the Malonoski's of Methacton Highschool fame. We then moved past the Mason-Dixon line and ended up in the Old Dominion, well actually Dragonfly Lane in Richmond, Virginia. ...
Steven Spielberg Imagine a dark theatre. The curtains open and the music plays "da dun-dun-dun da dun da dunnn" as big spotlights illuminate a giant number twenty. For the next two hours you are magically transported to a whole new world where anything can happen and your cares are taken away. This great experience is only possible through the work of the director. I feel that the greatest director of our time is Steven Spielberg. ...
"A&P" is John Updike's short story written about the adventures in an ordinary supermarket. The story is written in first person and the speaker's name is Sammy, a young man who seems to pay more attention to the actions of the customers than his job. The story is a recital of what happened on Sam's last day. The characters such as the watchful lady, the three girls, Stokesie his friend and the manager Lengel made the story seem very real because they were described as a normal everday person would talk about them in conversation. ...
He-Man vs. Tiny Toons The reason He-Man was my favorite was his simplicity. It was a struggle of goo vs. evil in a fantastic setting with surreal charaters. These charaters made the cartoon enjoyable to watch and easy to understand but if watched today, they would probably bore me and I'd revert to channel surfing. Channel surfing is flipping through channels rapidly and the reference to surfing comes from moving quickly through the air-waves. It is my guide to how well I like a show. If I flip while the shows on, it stinks. If I flip only during the commercials, it's average and where most shows fall but if it's really good I'll watch the commercials too, waiting for the show to come back on which is the case of Tiny Toons. ...
EDITOR'S NOTE: This one is just plain stupid. I can't believe I would have done better than a C on it. One of the most interesting points of Aristotle was his "super school", Lyceum. This school was very interesting in the fact that every so many days, they would elect a new school supervisor from among themselves. Another interesting point of the school was the zoo. This was one of the first zoos in history. The idea was to bring animals and plants from around the world to Greece. Here, Aristotle studied the animals as best he could to find more about them. His idea of a zoo for studying animals can still be seen today. ...
The Road to the White House You too can run for president! It's really quite simple if you have the time and money. All you need to do is follow these simple guidelines. Do something to make yourself famous. Declare to be a candidate in your respective parties and hope to win in the preliminaries. If you don't belong to a party or are fed up with the parties then get yourself on the ballot by forming a loyal following who will spend every moment of their free time to get enough signatures. ...
My bicycle is a work of art or a torture device designed by Nazies. No one else ever has had a problem riding it except me. I can ride a bike, but sometimes the bike likes to play little tricks on me. One day, I was riding all across scenic Collegeville. Uphills, downhills, through streams and most of all through neighborhoods. I have nothing against small little neighborhoods except for that evil, lurking, waiting being that live in each one. That hell sent creature is the leashless family dog. ...
