The Best place paragraphs,

There is a place where freedom is ok, and different ethnesities get alone well. This place is the United States of America. This to me is the best place in the world for many reasons. Some of the main reasons would be the cities, the people, and the life style.
The cities in america are some of the most famous, for example, we have chicago, New york city, Detroit, Miami, and plenty of other famous cites. These are some of the most beautiful places i have ever seen and these cities contain some of the biggest biuldings there are. The empire state biulding, which lyes in New york is almost above the clouds. This to me is symbolic of success and progress. In these beautiful cities and biuldings are some of the nicest and intelligent people a person will ever meet.
In many 3rd world countries, people are forced into a certain life style and forced to believe somthing that they might not agree with. In America, the whole idea of that has been abolished and people are to do and think what ever they like as long as it does not interfere with any one elses rights and beliefs or does not break any of the neccessary law that exist in this country. This makes the people here more understanding and much more polite. Its almost life everyone is looking out for each other and this makes me feel right where i belong.
One of the best things in this country would be the life style here. It is a beautiful thing here because it can be what ever the individual makes it. If a person would like to follow there religion then they are free to do that, or if someone would like to have a party at there home, they are also free to do that. With this life style you can fit in where ever you'd like and will always have people that are similar to you and people that are very different from you.
In the end, majority of people will say that America is one of the best places in the world not only because of the cities, people, and the life style, but also because of what this country stands for. Its a place for everyone and anyone. So next time some one questions this, just give them some facts.

5 paragraphs

I enjoy many things about my life very much. I have a wife and 3 kids I love very much. I manage a resteraunt at Wayne State University. I am part owner of a gas station in California that my brother runs and operates. But the thing I enjoy doing most, in my spare time, is playing soccer.
My wife and I got married 2 years ago in Yemen. Although we were engaged before that time, we wanted to wait until we would be financially stable enough to move to America. Our wedding was on a beautiful day in June. Our honeymoon lasted that entire summer and our marriage still feels as good as the day we got married. We have 2 boys and 1 girl and are very happy.
I started working at La Pita Dearborn when i first came to America. I began as a busboy and did that for 60 hours a week every week. When the owners decided to open another resteraunt on Wayne State's Campus I was asked to go there and work. I worked there for 2 years and began to slowly but surely get fed up with my boss, because I did most of his work for him and was not compensated for all the extra work. When the owners became fed up witrh my boss they decided they wanted me to be the manager and releive him of his job. I have been manager for 6 months and business is as good as ever.
I have always looked up to my brother because of his business sense. When he offered me the chance to be business partners with him i couldn't refuse. We opened a gas station in California near the bay area. I plan on moving to the bay area soon so I can play more of a role in the operating of the gas station. Then if I am successful with this one I hope to open another one.
Ever since I was a little boy I have always loved the game of soccer. I used to spend hours playing with my family. As I got older I began to enjoy watching soccer both on t.v. and in person. I have attended many professional soccer games, however nothing compares to the World Cup. I look forward to watching it this summer and I think Italy is going to win.

homework,page 599

If I were the son of the old man in the hospital, I would feel greatful that somebody was kind enough to spend his time making my father feel wanted and loved in his final hours. I would also be upset because I was unable to be with my father on his deathbed and the red cross did not take the time to make sure that they had contacted the correct person. I would be upset about this because the red cross could have taken the time to contact both of us. My stronget emotion however would be grateful to the man who kept my father company during his final hours.
