What are some words in the english language that change pronunciation when the meaning of the word is altered? For example: I did not OBJECT to the OBJECT or The WIND is to strong to WIND the sails.

Just so you'll know, I'm not trying to get help with my homework, (I'm 26 years old and out of school) I'm just trying to outsmart my know it all sister.

for my research paper I'm supposed to think of a descriptive narration for the introduction. I'm doing my research paper on the cons of censorship, so i need some advice on what to write about. i was thinking along the lines of a musician writing a song and pouring his heart in only to have it censored but I'm not sure how to start it. any help would be appreciated.

Jackie Robinson’s tremendous contribution of breaking the color barrier was of a great deal and accomplishment as he did not only stand up to the threats , hate mail and taunting of people, but he also began to establish the idea that segregation was of great wrong doing and that African Americans were just as great as white people, marking him as one of the greatest key figures in gaining equality amongst races in American athletics.

We co-signed for our daughter 's student loan through Bank-One. Once she graduated we thought we could consolidate these under one interest rate...however we are being told that these are 4 seperate loans and since they are private cannot be consolidted. We are presently making 4 payments each month. It seems like there's no light at the end of the tunnel. Does anyone have any suggestion other than "what a fool" ?.

I'm about to register for my junior year and I really don't want to have a repeat of this year; I don't want to take classes that will overly stress me out. But the main reason I want to take more challenging classes is because I want to get into a really good private collage and I know it will look very impressive to have collage level classes in high school. Then there's the rumor I heard that collages look mainly at GPA instead. Because I'm taking higher level classes my GPA is a little lower than I would like.
Does anyone have advise on what collages look for?
