Why We Need a Recreational Center
With the onslaught of crimes committed by minors in our neighborhood, we desperately need a recreational center. When I was growing up, the
rec. center was my favorite place to go. Saturday night bashes with food and live DJs. Ping-pong and billiard tournaments. Study sessions with
friends after school. Movie and game nights. That's what I did for fun, all in a safe and adult-monitored environment. My experience sharply
contrasts with that of the youths Ive been observing.
Every day after work I drive through our neighborhood and see the same thing teenagers loitering in front of yards, looking bored and up to no
good. Five of my neighbors cars have been broken into in the past three months. Seven houses, including mine, have been toilet-papered and
egged. And according to the police department, these numbers only increase during the summer. During the summer months of 2007 alone,
there were 11 car burglaries and 13 criminal mischief and vandalism offenses in our neighborhood. Such statistics prove that we must provide
something for these teenagers to do.
A recreational center would offer these kids an economical and safe place to socialize and have fun-even while studying. Upon the
implementation of a community recreational center program in Winfield, Kansas, crimes committed by minors decreased by 70%. The same
thing can happen here.
I have heard some people complain that we can find better ways to spend our tax dollars. If you can find something that has more personal,
social, community benefits. I would like to hear about them. In a nationwide study conducted at Pennsylvania State University, researchers
compiled a list of the benefits perceived by the American public. According to the study, users of recreational centers benefited from exercise,
entertainment education, relaxation, interaction with community members, and affordability. And you don't even need to use the recreational
center to experience its benefits. Researchers found that 71% of non-users said they received some benefit." One participant stated, "I'm
grateful for the recreational center because it keeps kids off the streets."
For the future of our neighborhood and our children, let's do what is necessary to clean up our youth. Let's give them a recreational center.

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.

it is true my friend

i go to the store and buy some cheese,suddenly there was akward silence.   out of no where comes a ninja, and he takes an apple, and chokes the cashier, until he passes out.   the disapeared in a puff of smoke.   the cashier went to the doctor, and everything was fine again.   they all lived happily ever after without anymore ninjas.

the end

go to buy cheese= exposition

akaward silence= rising action

ninja chokes the cashier= climax

cashier goes to the doctor= falling action

they live happily ever after= resolution

        its hard for some people to get along and that’s the case for douglass and canot. most of the time when people do not agree with each other its because they have different presperctives, and that is the case here.

captain canot was never a slave so but he was a slaver and a slave ship captain and just like the slave master's he tought it was it was totally normal, he used captain conot is a cruel man who enjoys whipping slaves but never   got whipped he saw it has a destiny for the slave to be a slave and the slaver to be a slaver   but douglass has suffered whoppings cut   even for no reason sometimes. douglass believed that slavery was not natural to black people, they need to study and learn how to read and write. he knew they have rights.

it was really not the captain’s fault he was just brainwashed by the system and when your brainwashed by the system its hard not to be brainwashed. but the reason douglass wants this is because he has suffered he knows how it feels and will do anything to stop that.
