I was just wondering how and when the automobile started being referred to as a car....was it from carriage or was it just a slang word given to the automobile to make it easier to reference.

In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet's mother says
'I would the fool were married to her grave'
A person obviously can't get married to a grave so is there a name for this way of saying something?

so here is my first paragraph:


As the grievances mounted and the desire for independence intensified, the American Revolution began. The colonists recognized the need for unity so they joined forces under the leadership of the continental congress. There were several goals and challenges for the patriots as they attempted to forge unity under the articles of confederation. There states were wary of centralized and remote government because of their experience with the English parliament. So the national government had limited power. They could borrow and coin money, conduct foreign affairs, set policy toward American Indians, settle disputed between the states. The articles of confederation were powerless when it came to money because they could ask states but not require them to give money, each state had one vote regardless of population, while all this was going on; they were fighting the war, the confederation was weak because congress needed money for the war debts and they couldn’t tax the states, while some states avoided paying their share of the national debt and congress printed paper money and it wasn’t backed by gold or silver. In 1784 there was an economic depression because the British markets leave after the war. They flooded the states with inexpensive good and merchants could not keep up with low prices. The articles were powerless which leads us to the constitution. And since the articles were too weak, they could not force the state to pay taxes.

major in addiction
studying addiction would be very interesting to me and i like helping people but the salary isnt as high as I would like.

major in psychology
studying psychology would also be interesting to me and I like helping people but i doubt i would want to spend 5+ years getting a PhD and I've heard a BA in psychology is worthless

major in accounting
i am good with numbers and salary is good

major in chemistry
i was going to major in chemistry because Ive done very well with it in highschool and it was a interesting class but i just got a C in chemistry 101 so that is discouraging to further any pursuit in this major.

any others?

I need some help with writing the first sentence of the body paragraphs for my Lord of the Flies essay.

My thesis sentence is something like this:
Golding’s belief that the ruin of society came from within the individual is clearly shown in man’s tendency to let fear destroy rational thought, man’s innate desire to have power over others, and man’s attraction to violence. {got to fix that later, but it's going to be something like this}

I don't know how to start off the topic sentence. Any ideas?
