Forever and Always
Some people believe in miracles. Other people argue that fate is what makes day turn into night and the waves rise high and low crashing over a ship at sea or carrying it to the shore safely. A person of faith will say that ones’ life is controlled by a higher power greater than fate itself. Shannon has heard every excuse, rhyme or reason as to what exactly wills each life changing event. She occasionally agrees, yet never disagrees for reasons that would just be impolite. It is what only she knows in her heart, and in a place that even her heart cannot reach, that wills her to live through each day and keeps her anticipating the comfort of her empty bed at night. It is here, in the glow from a single lit

He would be leaving in a week to go to sea, and they were deeply in love. At times like this, they would be inseparable. As they walked down the deserted beach, the water lightly grazed their bare feet. Hand in hand they headed toward the dock where Jay’s boat would depart in a week. They discussed the days to come in specific detail. What she would do while he was gone, where they planned to go when he returned. They fantasized about what life would be like in a year. He would finally stay home to run his fathers business in town, never having to leave her side again. Just as they reached the end of the dock, Jay stopped Shannon and looked into her eyes. She stared deep into him, so deep that she trembled from the inside out. Her heart began to beat fast, like it always did when she was with him. He ran his fingers through her windblown, sun streaked hair, and it was there that he professed his deepest love for her.
“When I see you again, I will first touch your face and kiss your lips. Then I will take your hand in mine and ask for you to be my wife. Until then, take this picture of me, and remember me every night. Please use it to remind yourself that I will be back. Nothing will keep us apart”. He slid the picture into the pocket of her windbreaker and put his lips to hers for the sweetest, softest embrace that lasted for what seemed like hours.
As Shannon remembers the moment, she focuses on the
“I got up and pretended to study the pictures on the walls like I was a lover of religious art. When I got to the Merciful Mother right above Sinita’s head, I reached in my pocket and pulled out the bottom I’d found on the train. It was sparkly like a diamond and had a little hole in back so you could thread a ribbon through it and wear it like a romantic lady’s choker necklace. It wasn’t something I’d do, but I could see the button would make a good trade with someone inclined in that direction.
To tackle the housing affordability, first of all, it is crucial to lift the supply of housing as it will release the pressure on the housing price. Nevertheless, the supply of housing is inelastic as it requires an adequate fund, time, approval from the Government. Besides, the housing system is heavily dependent on the private sector. Thus, the Government should provide initiatives for housing providers to shift the supply of houses in the market. Australia would follow the policies from other countries to tackle the housing affordability. However, it has to fit in the Australian context. These policies might work well in other places but it does not mean that it will be applicable in Australia. The Singapore Government has a public

The arguments I choose to assess for truth and validity will be three statements taken from the Application's list 12.2 (a -y) at the end of Ch. 12, “The Art of Thinking” publication. I will start with the statement (j) the premise that "power must be evil because it can corrupt people." Checking the argument for any hidden premises and ensuring it is stated fully and in a clear concise way is the first step. This argument seems to pass the first hurdle, however after checking for errors affecting truth, the argument has flaws. Beginning with, the part of the argument that says power corrupts people is not true
