Though I don't agree with doing homework for someone, here's my two cents; (I would've thought choice D the most challenging, but you seem to have decided on E in another question you asked). "Kissimmee, Florida is ripe with history which begins much earlier than 1971's opening of the Walt Disneyworld Resort. Once known as Allentown, our city once flourished as a logger town. Visiting the Pioneer Museum of the Osceola County Historical Society, visitor's can get a taste of early 20th century cattle ranch life. Kissimmee also shares historical memories of World War II in commemorating the joint contribution of American and Filipino soldiers at the Bataan-Corregidor Memorial. Performance and visual arts are highlighted at the The Osceola Center for the Arts with such activities as concerts, plays and even art camp workshops for youngsters. Pointe Orlando features an open-air shopping and dining experience for the metropolitan of heart. Everything from Armani Exchange to Tommy Bahama can be explored by visiting guests." It's one sentence shy of your goal, but at least it addresses the obvious (Disneyworld) and it gives others a view of 'what else' there is to do in Kissimmee... hope it helps...

Ha ha, I like D. That could go in so many different directions.
The more that is expected of a government, the higher taxes will become, but that is a nessicary evil in this society. America has, historically, had pride in its opportunities for all people. This requires a government that helps those in need and those who are having trouble helping themselves. A country is only as strong as its weakest link, so everyone must willingly take on the burden of taxes so that everyone has at least the necessities of life. It is in finding the fine line between a dog eats dog world, where the weak are doomed to perish, and a Communist government where people have little or no control over their own assets and choices, that this country is struggling.

E....Start by listing the interesting places in your town, what is interesting about them, i.e. historical home, when it was built, did someone important to the city live there, etc.....bank that has been there one hundred years, when it was built, what it has meant to the community, etc, Nature site like falls, mountains, lakes, rivers, why they are interesting, what can be seen there, this is an easy assignment, don't make it harder than it is...Just get on your computer, type in city and state, if nothing there, type in local TV station and see what they offer, or go to State historical society and you will find stuff there......the most interesting way to do this would be to go out to your city, have someone drive you down to the historical area, or the older side of town, and find addresses that interest you and research them....I hope this helps...........................

Through the years, people have used the latest inventions in man-kind history; automobiles. Automobiles (also known as cars) have been a very popular product ever since they first came out. The hazards of automobiles have been risking peoples lives, body parts, and feelings........

I like the ideas of A & B (this is a very short start off^)

Usually this is how an introduction starts:

TOPIC SENTENCE+TRANSITION WORD:
GENERAL INFORMATION (WHY IS THIS TOPIC IMPORTANT?:
THESIS STATEMENT+3 MAIN POINTS



You might want to make this introduction 5 sentencs (a paragraph)

For each one list some things that you know about the topic. Then after you have done that, go back and see which one you know the most about. Now when you go to write the paper, you will have enough information to work with.

I like E.

In our area there are many interesting places because we live in Kissimmee, Florida. 25 years ago, our town was a cattleman's rodeo town. Then came Walt Disney, and he forever changed our little community forever...

Hope this helps.
