It's midnight, but unsuprisingly, you aren't in your bed. Rather, you've decided to spend tonight by slouching on the sofa, with one hand deep inside a self-proclaimed "family-size" bag of Lays Sour Cream & Onion chips, and the other holding a remote control, getting carpel tunnel from pressing the "Channel Up" button over and over and over again, because your mind is completely focused on one goal: to find a show to watch until you eventually fall asleep on the couch for the 5th time this week. You feel content, as you chow down on your potato chips, but you feel a bit weary, due to the fact that you have yet to find a program that fits your standard of substance. You feel like giving up & going to bed. But, then something amazing happens.

It was hot, I frowned, wiped my eyes and sat up. I found myself swiftly and angrily putting my guitar back, but at the same time being gentle with it, like a poor man might handle thousands and thousands of gold bars. Because that's what it was to me. I eyed my sleeping pills again, but instead I turned sharp on my heel and walked into my bedroom. I packed a bag with my essentials in case I ended up sleeping at the station, I gently put my contact case in, my glasses and more recklessly my anxiety pills.

Messenger 's sentiment is "But the danger Syrians face is less because of their religion and more because their home country is a war zone, where thousands have been killed." Another piece of evidence is," On November 13, the Islamic state group killed 130 people in Paris, France." More and more people are getting killed every day the longer we wait to do something.

British forces occupied Iraq during WWI. In 1920, Iraq was declared a League of Nations mandate under British administration. Iraq attained independence as a Kingdom in 1932.
Everything we do is insignificant. I mean, think about... They’re over seven thousand one hundred and twenty-five billion people in the world and everyone one of them is asking and will be asking four basic question through the course of their lives. Who am I, why am I here, what is wrong with the world and how can what is wrong be made right. While we may not say them out loud, it is in the soul of every person to wrestle with them.
As Hezbollah evolves into a more legitimate group, in part because of its involvement in politics and welfare, the demand for a more transparent structure grows. Nonetheless, there is ‘still place’ for a secretive structure within the group. According to Hamzeh (1993), a consultative council (Supreme Shura Council), plus several committees composes the Hezbollah structure. After the National Pact the group started a political life, hence a public structure was necessary to legitimise it.
The topic I will be writing about is why students should be able to sleep in class. I agree with that statement because you may not know what a student is going through at their home. They may have to go home to long tiresome chores. Also after they do their chores they may have to do homework. Another reason I agree with this statement is because a lot of students play sports ,and have afternoon practice.

Living in the streets, he had managed to survive over time by doing small tasks and in extreme cases, by stealing.

In Damascus Nights, Rafik Schami, the author, emphasizes the importance of storytelling to the Damascene culture by having Salim’s seven friends tell seven different stories. It is explained on more than several accounts that words matter a lot.
I continued to type; I added in unnecessary symbolism and metaphors to give the illusion of a well-written paper. I was making good time, I had almost a page and a half done already, but suddenly I stopped writing. “ What next?” I had a case of writer's block, and it was bad.
My paper is paler than a patient, I can only see my shadow on it. Time flies by. “You still leave a black paper? Just write down something, it is too late” one of my roommate said and fall asleep a minute after. She is correct.
