Other - Education - December 2006

Just in case it censors the title, the name of the book is "Moby D!ck".

I think the title line is fairly stright-forward. I'll be honest, I didn't read the whole book (partly because I procrastinate alot, partly because I genuinely dislike the book), but form what I read it seems to tell alot about the culture of New England and Nantucket, the whaling industry.

In the beginning, when he meets Queequeg, Ishmael talks about how it was common for cannabals, or other people from islands to be casually walking the streets. Assuming these people are black, does this mean that New England has no racial tensions? Slavery was going on in the south around that time (or maybe it had just recently ended...hm...?).

As for the whaling industry, here's the part where my inerest severely waned. I gather that it's not necessarily a happy, fun job, and certianly not easy. The sailors who do it, do it because they love it. I gathered that much, but I can't quite get a grasp on what that says about...

I have not enjoyed this semester at all and I would love it if you could say a prayer for me, regardless of your religion. I really want a good GPA this year since I am a junior, and I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Is this a good intro? Do I need to work on it? If so how do I make it better?


Many Americans today are unable to afford healthcare do to what seems to them a high cost. Universal healthcare is a feasible solution to keep the people’s health problems from becoming worse regardless of income. It will make the way of life for many become more worth while due to better health. The reason that Universal healthcare is not currently used is because many politicians do not realize the benefits that it would bring to this country.

Hi, I'm currently in grade 10 and considering becoming an exchange student from September 2007 to January 2008. So, obviously, that would be the first half of grade 11. I would either want to go to Australia or Paris. The only problem is, I can't decide if I should. The pro's are I get to travel, my parent's would probably cover all costs, I'd get to meet new people, enjoy a different culture, have an extended summer (if Australia, my number one choice) and probably have an amazing experience. I want my best friend to come with me but I doubt her parents would let her. Assuming they won't (because there's no doubt in my mind that I would go if she could come), I'm not too sure if I should go. The cons I can think of are that I wouldn't make new friends, I'd be bored, I'd be homesick and because of this I'd do poorly in school. I'm also a little worried that my friends will become closer and forget about me.

I know it's ultimately up to me, but what do you think would be best?

Is this thesis statement okay? due to high costs of healthcare many families don't have healthcare, which is why universal healthcare would be a good thing.

Or do I not have the right idea for writting a thesis statement.

Is saying 'I forget' when 'I forgot" is proper to use now somehow acceptable? Who else finds this an annoyingly persistent mistake? I make grmmatical mistakes, many people do, but shouldn't I forget as a response to a question like "did you do what I asked you to?", for example, have become rare? If you're asked if you did something, and you didn't remember to do it, assuming you intended to, you're supposed to say, 'I forgot to,' not, 'I forget to.' Forget is present and future tense and only says what you tend to do, not what you did in regard to the specific question.

What's so damn hard about that?

I want to transfer to another school next year. It's only 10 minutes away from where I live (same distance as the highschool where I should be going). But I dont live in the district in which the school is. Although the schools are in the same distance could a bus still come and pick me up from the school I want to transfer to?
