The Focke-Wulf FW 190 D war aircraft carrying a group of young boys, between the ages of six and twelve, from boarding school in a secret location in British Columbia, Canada back to London, England, was shot down by a German war plane yesterday at one o’clock; and the whereabouts and condition of the passengers are unknown. Those ruthless Germans, right? Yes, but could this have been avoided? As the children prepared for their flight back home, the original pilot was experiencing ghastly pent up emotions. He shared them with the substitute untrustworthy pilot who exposed his cowardice to the sergeant, who arrested him.
The theme of “Taking the Plunge” is to accomplish any challenge you have to overcome your fears on your own. In the beginning of the excerpt the narrator nervously rambling about anything to keep from losing nerve .” Do crows really always fly directly?” this distraction allows to continue his ascent up the diving platform. All the while constantly looking for another distraction to offset nerves, all the while continuing to accomplish the task at hand “you can’t see the bolts in this diving platform from the ground, which is good if your objective is to get more people to scale this crazy tower because those bolts are pockmarked and look wounded,”
In the state of New Jersey there are many restrictions being added on teen drivers. One being to make sure teens are not out past their driving curfew they have to add a red trim piece around their license plates, so police have a higher chance of knowing if teens are out past their driving curfew of eleven o´clock. Teens tend to overrate their skills on the road and underate the risks of the road (Zermike 6-7). One way teens tend to overrate their skills is by texting. Texting is a easy way to become distracted, and to forget about driving.
When discussing smacking, there are a myriad of topics, theories and debates that can be brought up, especially should smacking children be banned which is one of the major issues in our current society. Smacking has been happening everyday in our daily life and we are able to clearly see it in our society. No matter where we come from or the different cultural backgrounds, we are growing up with at least getting smacked by their parents once in our childhood’s lives. However, smacking should be banned and not legalised by the governments in a way to protect the children. Physical punishment, including smacking, violates the human rights of children as it disregards the principle of equal rights and respect that should be extended to every
“Each and every one of us has a fire that burns inside us. They can try like to put it out, but as long as we know in our minds who we are meant to be, they will never stand a chance,” Andy Biersack once stated (“Andy Biersack Quotes”). Screamo in so many ways people see it as Satanic music but fail to see it as a way of voice for those who’ve never had a voice never had one. Who have dealt with so much hell from the kids at school, the parents who never gave them no love, or who are dealing with depression, or struggling to be themselves. “The people that tell you what you enjoy is wrong, or come into your life and tell you what you’re wearing is wrong are miserable because they focus on the things they don’t like,” Andy Biersack once said (“Andy Biersack Quotes”)

This morning, 9/11/15, I left my car in the commuter parking lot on griffon ave at around 8am. Upon return to my car around 6:40 I noticed a larger dent and part of my taillight smashed. Unfortunately whom ever did this decided to not leave any information. I am concerned that this happens often in this parking area the parking spaces are barely large enough for one car. On top of having small spaces many people do not park straight and often hang over into other making a tight space even tighter.
Teens practicing their driving more in general, as well as having more experience in potential serious scenarios, would greatly help the cause. Also, teens discussing serious local accidents can make them more aware of just how possible it is for this dilemma to become their own dilemma. A foolproof way to make teens drive more safely is for their parents to make them pay their own tickets and fines (#9). Ultimately, one of the biggest influences for teens is their family, and how their families drive is no exception. Passengers are a huge problem in regards to teen driving.
