Informative Letter

Dear Mr. Penny, I have a problem with the cancellation of 8th grade advancement and have some reasons for why I think you should rethink your decision. Firstly, I would like to say I utterly disagree with this decision completely. There are many reasons I dislike it thoroughly, such as students already picking out suits and dresses. Secondly, I believe that there is no such reason to cancel the 8th grade advancement because we could raise the missing money through fundraisers. I believe Advancement had been a tradition at this school every year for years, so students would probably all pitch in to help their dance. I think it is expected and an anticipated part of the school year for the 8th graders since beginning of the school year and also as a reliever from

How have you been? I hope life is going well. How is mom doing? Are you and her eating and sleeping well? I want to be very honest in this letter. Please do not tell mother what I am about to tell you. I don’t want to worry her. I don’t want to worry you too but you’re stronger than mom. What I am about to tell you please take it into consideration but also don’t worry as much.

In the wake of the 2014 fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, national attention has focused on the use of force by law enforcement (ACLU, 2016.) To rebuild trust between law enforcement and communities, President Barack Obama signed an executive order establishing the Task Force of 21st Century Policing. In 2015, President Obama met with members of his Task Force and delivered a message to the press which highlighted the need to collect more data and information stating; “…there was a great emphasis on the need to collect more data. Across this country, we’ve got 18,000 law enforcement jurisdictions. Right now [law enforcement and local communities] do not have a good sense,

and now we see it in something like the Ferguson shooting. Yet what about the ones who are supposed to protect the law, it seems they alway either get away with no penalty or have a very light sentence. The justice system seems that it has been tested on many occasions and still is broken until something can be done to it. The justice system might be fixed in the future in which all people will finally be treated equally by the law despite their

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy” (SOURCE). Manhood and being a “real man” is defined in many different ways depending on the person. However, most of these things that men are defined by can be done by any gender and there are people that make it their work to prove that. The social construct of manhood has overall negative consequences on society; however, not all men uphold this construct, and can prove to be advocates of change.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with your company. After our conference call last month, I was very exciting to work with you to provide many different services to your clients.

This letter is in regards to my nine-year-old daughter Valerie Mendez SID: 168809 who is currently in Ms. Jennifer Dembowski 4th grade class.

I am writing this letter today to express my extreme disfavor of the United States’ corrupt school system. Not only that, but also what I believe a justified punishment should be for defrauding my beloved English teacher, Mr. Hyde. Given this task, I have felt that it is the most appropriate time to reflect on the never ending issue of our unprincipled, ineffective, and crooked school system. This reflection is not in any way intended to take the blame away from myself, because I am fully aware that not only plagiarizing but turning someone else's book report as your own is dishonest and unacceptable. I can’t articulate how much I regret swindling my teacher, but I can guarantee to you that it will never happen again. I have learned my lesson through pure humiliation and acquiring a disheartening zero on the assignment, which resulted in me having to watch my well

Thank you. I want to start there. As a matter of fact, I think it's important I start there. You're one of the dopest MCs to grace hip-hop and I remember feeling inspired to sing because you made alto singing popular. You blessed us with The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and for this we are forever grateful.

Dear Mayor, one way to benefit our community would be to open more restaurants. I think that we should open more restaurants because, if opening more restaurants it would benefit by reducing the lines at restaurants, bring in a lot more money to increase business, people could benefit by getting more jobs.

I am in Newark this morning to talk to some therapist regarding their notes. I will also go to Homecare Association to attend the meeting at 1:30pm, today.

Tatter discussed possibility of a bill being passed that involves Tennessee schools earning a “letter” grade in addition to the state report card which is already in place. The purpose of assigning a letter grade to the schools was to help parents better understand schools’ overall performance.” Supporters of this bill state that this bill is a common sense aid to parents trying to navigate an increasingly complex school choice system” (Tatter). However, some argued that this letter grade assigned to the schools would only confuse parents because it does not give an adequate amount of information necessary to determine if a school is a good “fit” for their child. These “letter grades” are earned based on a combination of data, which included student growth and proficiency rates. The critics state that “letter grades lack nuance”, which “could oversimplify their status and circumstances, further stigmatizing schools and communities, especially those with low-income populations.” (Tatter).

For generations, one question has been asked and continues to be asked by males all around the world. What does it mean, for one to become a man? Man, a term defined as “an individual human; especially: an adult male human” in the Webster Dictionary seems like a straightforward concept, but, like most words, has more than one meaning. Man is not just a word for the human race or one geared toward males, but rather a coming of age term. We all start out as children, with an immense amount of immaturity, as we all grow older, we begin to lose the immaturity bit by bit, and ultimately our choices and results of our choices build us into men and women. Becoming a man means; to grow up, to become mature, to be the best version of yourself. However, many have trouble becoming a man and rely on others for some ideas to jump-start their brains. Leading to the creation of society's idea of “Manhood”, but just because there is a generalized idea of manhood does not mean that there isn’t room for some individualization. There are many ways for one to interpret the criteria they have to meet for one to be a man, this could be anything from owning a gun to having a successful career. However, three areas are crucial in them determining what it takes for one to become a man: values, past experiences of men, and what kind of life they want to live.
