Compare/Contrast Paragraph

Christmas and Halloween are different in several ways, especially what you eat, who you spend more time with, and the vide of both days. First, the things you eat are different because you eat ham or mashed potatoes on Christmas and on Halloween you just have a normal dinner. Also you collect crazy amounts of candy to rot your teeth, which you don't get to much on Christmas. Second, Christmas is all about family and not so much friends. You spend the whole day hanging out with your family and create tighter relationships between each other. On Halloween on the other hand, your out with your friends going door to door usually for most of the night. Last, the vibe of both holidays are very different. On Christmas you are excited and happy and also loved, but when it comes to Halloween you are scared and the whole feeling isn't the same. Halloween is more spooky and Christmas is more filled with love. Both holidays are definitely different and be sure never to get them mixed up. Just remember Christmas equals presents and Halloween equals candy.

In a perfect world, my life would be different in three main areas. First off, in a perfect world i would have a different job. I would have a full time job instead of part time and the job would also pay well. I get minimum wage now, which to me isn't enough. I wouldn't have to worry about money at all, but still have to work to receive it. Second, the place where I live would be totally different and in a different state. Instead of my little apartment, i would live in California on a beach house with a perfect view of the ocean. Also my backyard would be so enourmous compared to what I have now which is no backyard at all. Last, I wouldn't have to go to school anymore. I would take online classes and finish them at home, so I have more time to work and also hangout with friends. I take online classes right now, but not fully at home, so doing all my work at home would be way more easy. My perfect world is not the same at all compared to what my life is now, but I still can dream can't I?

Taking online classes is totally different then classes that meet in person. For one, explaining things are so different and all of the notes and teaching that a teacher usually does in on the computer. You might not understand what the lesson is about or how to do the math problem correctly and have to ask for help by e-mailing your teacher. Another reason why they are so different is that you can do your work at home. Showing up to school isn't a big issue, but you wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. Accessing school from home can be convient, but isn't always the best choice because you have to be a good reader and be good at understanding things. Online classes are completely different from regular classes and the type of learner you are really matters when picking which one you would like to choose.

Cause and Effect Letter Draft

             Dear Dad,

             Thank you for everything you do for me, especially taking me out to eat, doing my laundry, and helping me with my homework. First, thanks for doing my laundry when im busy or not around. When I'm at school studying or out for the weekend with my brother, you always ended up finishing my loads of laundry. Not to sound lazy, but it also helps so I don't have to do it when I get home. Second, thank you for helping me with my homework. Since I been getting help from you all of my grades seem higher then usual, which really boosts my confidence towards my classes. Also whenever I need help you answers are most of the time correct, unless you tell me to go ask mom. Last, thanks for taking me out to eat when you can. Even though we might be on a tight budget, you still manage to find a way to get us out of the house for some good food. We also get to socialize and hangout while we're eating. Since I'm really not home to much, getting to sit down and talk about things really is nice for a change. Thanks for caring and helping me as much as you do every single day. It definitely makes my day better and creates a better relationship between us. Thank you!


                                                      Sincerely,
                                                      Travis

Having a natural disaster on hit Mesa, like a flood, would make the days a little more harder then usual. The flood would run through the streets and maybe even stop busses. If the weather is too bad, then the airport might even shut down some flights as well. A flood would dry up quickly when the sun comes back out because the Arizona weather can be so hot at times. It wouldn't effect me personally, besides the fact that I might not be able to drive in the water.
