Respect:

A Look at How Respect is a Common Theme in To Kill A Mocking Bird

(TS) Respect is a food that powers peace.

This sentence is admirable because it is true. I didn't think that I could have come up with such a powerful sentence  back at the beginning of the year.

Privacy:

Privacy and It's Different Functions and Meanings

To me, it's hard to keep a secret that is nagging to jump out of your mouth, waiting to spoil someone's reputation.

Glorious sway:

The Examination of the Simple Sway of a Descending Feather

More than one thing in anyone's life has something to be showed by a feather's fall.

I remember having to put about 30 minutes into the closing paragraph of this essay. Because this is the final sentence, I needed to add a little extra time to create the ultimate closing sentence, and I think I succeeded.

The Fearful:

How Fear Corresponds to My Life

 A perfect, fearless world is a "man-eating unicorn", not only because it's not possible, but once we get there, we would kill our minds and create a brain with less capacity for excellence.

I enjoy this sentence because there are no misplaced words. I know I could have messed this sentence up by making it unclear, but I read it over multiple times. I also like the "man-eating unicorn" analogy.

Want:

Rebellion:

The Growth of Rebellion in My Life and in To Kill a Mockingbird.

My parents have raised me to be 99.99% obedient, so much so, that I can't remember any time where I said "no" to one of my parents requests. I think my childhood compliance is coming back to bite my parents as I grow ever aware of how much I force myself to do.


I chose this sentence because I don't like the truth of it. It is good to bring myself to realize that I need to think more of my own needs than I have been.
