This is another essay I had to write for English, this one is an argument about the drinking age and how it should be lowered because the reason it was raised is ineffective and mostly un-true. Could It Be Lowered? The minimum legal drinking age, MLDA21, is currently ineffectively matching up with the logic for it's creation and there are many backers to this theory. The United States Marine Corps being one of them, along side many college professors ...
...on base drinking age back to eighteen for command functions and formal events such as the Birthday Ball, the legal age had formerly been twenty-one. This also allows “underage marines” to contain and consume alcoholic beverages in the barracks. This is all decided upon by the commander of the base in question. In April 2007 the Commandant and Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps were interviewed after a visit to marines in Iraq. For Marines in japan ... Read review

Advantages: Comparing Composed upon Westminster bridge
Disadvantages: ...by Wordsworth with Blake's London

...1850 he had influenced English poetry as a whole by producing some of the greatest works in history. He was educated at grammar school and lived much of his life in amongst the northern lakes in the heart of the Lake District. The poet, artist, and printmaker William Blake on the other hand was not quite as orthodox. Largely unrecognized during his lifetime, Blake's work is today considered seminal and significant in the history of both poetry and ...
...Blake is highly regarded today for his expressiveness and creativity, and the philosophical vision that underlies his work, which was, in the most part, not as ordinary as that of William Wordsworth, who indeed wrote brilliant poetry, but yet did not write with quite such sincerity. Blake believed that he could converse aloud with the prophets of the Old Testament, but despite his love of God and the Bible, utterly disliked the established church, ... Read review

Disadvantages: A homage to that region of the soul we call America

Introduction This is my first semi-serious attempt to write a short story. In it, I have created a dystopian blend of crass corporate culture and what I hope is disturbing, unconscious imagery. I hope you enjoy the piece and I'd be very grateful for any critical feedback. Thanks for reading, Tim. The Boat to Camberley-Hey It was smarg o’clock in the morning and Wills, Pete, Bonesy and me had just finished the first Structured Discussion Session ...
...the new drink from Iso-Tone-O™ where all the sugar was replaced with, like, saccharine. Our Senior Demographic Analyst, Vickers, had been chairing the session and asked about the taste, the ad that accompanied it and whether it made us feel good. Wills, Pete, Bonesy and me had all agreed that we kinda liked the Iso-Tone-O lite™ and it did kinda make us feel good, but not so much as regular Iso-Tone-O™ or Fruit Hit™. We all reckoned the idea of Iso-Tone-O ... Read review

Advantages: It's true
Disadvantages: It's sad

How do you want me to express myself to you if my words doesn't matter to you, you don't understand them. I've been at your side giving you all, I built my life around you, you were my beginning and my end, I placed you in front of all, you gave sense to my life. And now I'm alone, now I took a leap in the dark and I have no idea of how hard will be the ground. I did the desert’s crossing feeding myself with my love for you, and one day I felt completely ...
...that day I was enterely destroyed, I was a ruined building with only the façade standing. I felt the absolute loneliness, that one you feel when you are at the side of your beloved and you feel alone still. An abyss between us and we didn’t do anything to solve it, we spoke different languages, we didn’t understand each other. I started losing control, I saw how I became a horrible person. I couldn’t go on with our relation. I know the pain will ... Read review
